The Buñuelo Factory
1905 West Ave, (210) 735-3737
With buñuelo in the name, you can trust this spot to hold it down. No seriously, they’re only open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week, so you know these crunchy, sugary discs are on point here. And if that isn’t enough to convince you, take the (sometimes) long lines at this time of year as proof that these buñuelos are addicting.
