August 23, 20214 yr Yeah, I’ve probably eaten in the building more than anywhere else in SA. I went to Churchill so we were there damn near every morning for tacos before school and after every party on the weekends.

August 23, 20214 yr Dropped off daughter at Trinity. Dinner at La Frite - Thai mussels and frites. Breakfast at NOLA - Eggs Benedict with fried oysters. Both meals were outstanding.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't eaten in that building since Palapas took over the old El Pollo Loco right across from Churchill on Blanco. That was probably some time in the early 90's. 2 hours ago, Mitch Cumsteen said: Wait, you went to Churchill as well? What year?
August 23, 20214 yr I went to Churchill as well and Ruthie's was me and my friends' hangout spot almost every morning before class. They have my favorite bacon & egg tacos of all time there, love their tortillas and their tacos are a pretty good size. It's been a little while since I've been there but I'm pretty sure they still have the Charger Special there on weekday mornings, it's 2 tacos and a drink for a real cheap price. The owner, Nas, is a good dude, hung out with him a few times, he's a big supporter of Churchill.

August 24, 20214 yr 87.Did you have journalism or take French? Play basketball? Those would have been the only classes we may have had together. I moved into Churchill from Boerne in January if 86, halfway through my junior year. I didn’t grow up in the area, so I didn’t have really deep roots there.

I'm sure we could play the name game, but I doubt I know you.
August 27, 20214 yr Ok, this might be my "Jump to Conclusions" mat moment, but I just had a moment of clarity idea for Teka Molina's to add more of a SA marketing footprint. Imagine this with the cannon replaced by a puffy taco and the words altered to say, "Come and Teka it". Sell flags and bumper stickers right there at the counter and on their website -- Edited August 27, 20214 yr by Cajun
August 31, 20214 yr Breakfast with a pal at Sylvia’s (Taco Riendo) this morning. Guisada plate was spectacular as usual… Yes

September 27, 20214 yr Rolando's Super Taco Carne Guisada con Queso today for lunch. MF'er was tip top! Still can't go in, all "to-go"...
September 27, 20214 yr Oh hell yes. Rolando’s was one of my spots back in the day. I always preferred Las Palapas, but damn Rolando’s was good.
September 27, 20214 yr Las Palapas is shit now. I used to worship the place. Been there 4 or 5 times (different locations) since I moved back and I'm done w/them.
September 28, 20214 yr Taquitos West on west avenue is legit. It’s just not easy to park and way out of the way. https://www.texasmonthly.com/list/15-great-tacos-in-san-antonio/taquitos-west-ave/

Did it go the route of Taco Cabana?I haven’t lived in SA in 26 years, so I’m sure a few things have changed since then. I rarely go to Palapas because I’m rarely in SA. Last time I went to Palapas was probably almost 5 years ago and I went for breakfast. Their huevos rancheros is outstanding or at least was.

October 1, 20214 yr Just got back from San Antonio eight days ago and catching up on this thread is giving me some serious carne guisada cravings. All you muthafuckas been negged.
