Our guide to Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio

Mexican food is one of the most widely loved cuisines in the US, and it ranges from the taqueria with a handful of tables and a salsa bar to sit-down restaurants focused on a single region such as Oaxaca, Jalisco, Puebla or the Yucatán. Tex-Mex – with its combination plates, yellow cheese, fajitas and chili con carne – is its own distinct tradition born in Texas.

The core of most menus is corn and flour tortillas used in many forms: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas and tamales. Salsas and moles are where kitchens show their personality, so it is worth trying the house salsas even if you order something simple.
