November 7, 20241 yr El Chaparral in Helotes is pretty good. My go to, Jacala, unfortunately burned down a few years ago.
November 7, 20241 yr Taco House on San Pedro, order up front, no frills, fantastic food. There should be many pics on this site of some of their offerings. Carne G puffy tacos are one of my faves.

I feel like the last few times I've gone to La Fonda, the food quality was way below what it was when I was growing up. They used to have the fajitas, for example, come out nice and charred on the searing hot skillet. The most recent time I ordered it, it came out on a plate and the fajias looked so sad. I haven't been back since.
November 8, 20241 yr My wife had dinner there tonight and raved about a butterflied filet with some kinda sauce.My kids went to keystone so I used to eat there a lot, but that was circa 2000s.
November 8, 20241 yr lol at all the whitewashed suggestions on here. El Bucanero - Mexican seafood. Multiple locations Pollos Asados Los Norteños - Rigsby location is the best. Taquitos West Ave Taqueria Datapoint Edited November 8, 20241 yr by Helobious

Of course, I unfortunately spent 30 years in DFW after leaving SA so maybe my taste buds adapted to having to deal with all the subpar TexMex up there. And now I'm in Corpus so I'm eating MUCH better than DFW but still different than SA. BTW, go try La Cabana out in Lakehills and let me know what you think. It's where my dad lives so I go there every time I see him.
