The best Tex-Mex

San Antonio is home to outstanding (the best in Texas, in this author’s view) Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine. This is perhaps not surprising, given its proximity to Mexico and large Mexican and Mexican-American population. One of many great Tex-Mex restaurants is Aldaco’s, which labels its fare “Mexican” but which offers a range of Tex-Mex creations, such as queso, quesadillas and fajitas. With three locations in the Alamo City, their Baja Fish Tacos (served with confetti rice and Tres Marias salad) are this author’s favorite. Recommended order: Baja Fish Tacos (obviously), Queso and Chips, and Carne Asada Marisol (rib eye steak, enchilada de queso and grilled shrimp in a signature roasted garlic crema al chipotle), served with rice, frijoles borrachos and tortillas.
