If you live in SA, you probably have a regular breakfast taco order. In fact, there’s a good chance you stick to that same routine every time you step up to the counter or pull into the drive-thru.
Those taco choices are important, because they say a lot about who you are and what makes you tick. Kind of like a zodiac sign, a favorite type of candy or a go-to alcoholic spirit. For example, are you the kind of simple soul who craves a dependable bean and cheese, or are you the type who lives big and isn’t afraid to tear into carne guisada as the day begins?
From classics available at any corner taqueria to specialty items only found at specific restaurants, here are 20 San Antonio breakfast taco orders and what they say about you as a human being.
Bean & Cheese
You value simplicity and authenticity. It’s difficult to mess this combination up, and that’s the appeal of it to you.

You value Puro San Antonio energy, and support your fam at every turn — and that’s not difficult when the support involves something as tasty as tacos on handmade tortillas. Easy or not, you go the extra mile for loyalty, and that likely translates to the rest of your life.

You’re easily bored with mundane routines, and uber self-sufficient. Folks who add fiery green salsa are decisive, but can be aggressive.

Much like the savory, peppery filling of these tacos, you’re the spicy life of the party and enjoy the moment. You go for the creme de la creme of breakfast tacos because life is short.
