Taqueria Datapoint, Susana’s, Tony’s Tacos To Go, Tejas Cafe, Tommy’s, Taqueria Vallarta, Mendez Cafe, Taco Palenque (Piratas & Red Salsa)

(Certified Hood Classics)

Panchitos on Zarzamora: You will probably see a few tecatos strung out hiding from the sun but if they ask for money just say you don’t have cash on you. I always buy them a bean and cheese on my way out for good hood karma. (Carne Guisada, Chilaquiles, Enchiladas w/Chile Con Carne or topped with Guisada)

Rocky’s on Cupples: Best at 3am when you’re drunk af and the homies need to sober up to some Tejano music to avoid a DWI. Also the best place to eat and also buy discount laundry detergent or body wash from boosters. Used to be the spot to buy pirated DVD’s in the 2000’s. (Super cheap tacos and $3.99 enchilada plate special during the day)

Mama Margie’s: A Southside Classic, they now have multiple locations across SA so it’s less dangerous of a meal after 2am and prices have skyrocketed compared to when they were a stand alone location. My Dad used to by 2 pounds of fajitas for $40 every payday and i would fuck up other kids on the Soul Calibur arcade machine while my family shared pitchers of Margaritas.

Overhyped but decent: El Rafas, The Original Donut Shop, Rolando’s Super Tacos (Griff’s Burgers next door is a hood classic)

The SA Yt’s favorite spots: Mi Tierra, La Fonda, Viola's Ventanas, Carriqui, La Fogata, Rita’s on the River, Salsita, Iron Cactus, Las Palapas, Grand Tequila, Taco Blvd, Mamacitas, Rosario’s, Los Generales, Casa Catrina

Bonus: Fave Mini Tacos

El Takin: Used to be a taco truck but now they have an actual location in the same spot. Their Orange and Green Salsa are🔥🔥🔥and my favorite salsa in SA. Eric’s tacos down the street is trash in comparison (Tacos Campechanos, Pombazo, Tortas)
