The best Tex-Mex

Two more San Antonio favorites, and arguably two of the best Tex-Mex values around, are at Las Palapas and Mama Margie’s. Each with drive-thru service, they are great spots to try a range of tacos (and salsas), among other Tex-Mex dishes.

Recommended order (Las Palapas): Taco Norteno (steak, cheese and avocado in a grilled flour tortilla) and Las Palapas’ Super Bowl (choice of al carbon, chicken fajita or guisada, drizzled with queso dip and rice, charro beans, lettuce, tomatoes and sliced avocado.). When the waiter brings you complimentary chips and salsa, be sure to ask for roasted salsa, too.
