San Antonio has the best breakfast tacos in America. There, we said it.
While we love tacos all day long in San Anto, there’s just something about the perfect combination of eggs, beans, cheese and potatoes — or whatever combo strikes your fancy — to start the day.
A good taqueria isn’t known for its Instagrammable decor and flashy website. Indeed, some of the best spots don’t even have a website at all. Social media? Come socialize in person, mija.
Some of these place might not look like much from the outside either, but according to online Yelp rankings from fellow diners, they’re gonna serve some of the best breakfast tacos you’ve ever had.
