Good Taste with Tanji - Wine, food and fun with Tanji Patton.

Tex Mex rocks in San Antonio – plain and simple! Some of the best you’ll find in the entire country comes from our own backyard. Undoubtedly, an icon for Mexican food in town is Mi Tierra. Open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, the folks here have been servicing hungry stomachs in the Alamo City for nearly 71 years! People travel far and wide for legendary their enchiladas; “symbolic items” according manager Gerardo Carvajal that everybody loves! There’s truly something to be found for all palates…including these delicious vegetable enchiladas.

We’re talking terrific sauces for the Green Chicken Enchiladas (Tomatillo made from scratch) and a marvelous mole that I love. The combinations of chocolate and peppers with sesame in the latter really set the stage. The Tex Mex Enchilada is their most popular, however, with loads of melted sharp cheddar cheese over steaming tortillas and ground beef. You can’t get any more authentic than that!

Craving more? Dig into the perfect puffy tacos from Don Pedro’s. They’ve been hand-crafting them for over 44 years! And each one individually the second they’re ordered…

 

 

 

Get your chilaquiles fix from Nicha’s. Sautéed corn tortilla chips turn crispy as cook…melted cheddar cheese is the clincher. The best of the BEST is all around!
