Winner: Henry’s Puffy Tacos
Multiple locations
There’s nothing like a good puffy taco. At their best, the airy pocket of fried goodness serve as quintessential San Antonio calling cards. Over its 45-year history, Henry’s Puffy Tacos has perfected the art of the Tex-Mex favorite and remains a longtime winner in this category. Founder Henry Lopez and family clearly felt strongly enough about their puffy taco game that they put it in their business’ name. The Lopezes now proudly peddle the deep-fried masa at two locations, one on the West Side and another in Leon Valley. Here’s to 45 years, Henry’s — and many more.
