Winner: La Michoacana
Multiple locations
With 14 San Antonio stores, this chain is certainly the city’s largest and most ubiquitous international grocer. While the meat gets the billing in the Houston-based company’s name, it’s only part of the attraction. The stores also stock an array of fresh produce and packaged goods from Mexico and Latin America, but the clutch player for the supermarkets may be their in-store taquerias that serve up an array of tacos and tortas along with menudo, barbacoa and more. It’s tempting to guzzle the house-made salsas by the gallon.
