YOUR PASSPORT TO THE BEST TACOS IN SAN ANTONIO

This isn’t just a guide — it’s your all-access pass to the taco scene that defines San Antonio.
We spent months exploring the city — tasting, scouting, and uncovering the most legendary spots and hidden gems. From fine dining restaurants reimagining traditional tacos to food trucks slinging late-night masterpieces, and of course, classic taquerías — every stop in this guide earned its place.
In quiet neighborhoods, you’ll find hole-in-the-wall gems serving carnitas simmered Michoacán-style, buttery shrimp tacos perfected by seafood pros, and the city’s breakfast taco kings turning mornings into rituals. This city sets the standard — from carne asada on the grill to the smell of flour tortillas puffing at dawn.
Each location was hand-selected by our team of taco-obsessed scouts, chefs, and foodie influencers — people who know that real flavor lives far beyond five-star ratings.
The result? A printed passport that celebrates the diverse taco experiences this city has to offer — both upscale and underground.
This isn’t a list.
