San Antonio's Favorite Tacos for Your Next Event

San Antonio's taco scene is rooted in tradition—these are flavors passed down through generations, served fresh from trucks that take pride in authenticity.

Street Tacos

Mr. Meximum, Lady Picoza, and San Antonio's legendary trucks serve authentic street-style tacos with al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, and slow-cooked barbacoa on fresh corn tortillas. Topped with cilantro, onion, and house-made salsas—this is the real deal.

Barbacoa Tacos

Barbacoa is San Antonio's Sunday tradition, and trucks like Carnitas Don Raul (featured in Netflix's 'The Taco Chronicles') bring that heritage to your events. Slow-cooked beef cheek, tender and rich, served with fresh tortillas and Big Red on the side.

Puffy Tacos

San Antonio invented the puffy taco—a crispy, air-puffed shell that's been a local icon for decades. Henry's Puffy Tacos made them famous, and now food trucks bring this San Antonio original to events across the city.

Breakfast Tacos

San Antonio runs on breakfast tacos. Eggs, chorizo, bacon, potato, barbacoa, and bean & cheese wrapped in fresh flour tortillas with salsa verde. Perfect for morning meetings, brunch events, or any time of day.

Gourmet & Fusion Tacos

Mr. Meximum pioneered gourmet food truck tacos in San Antonio, and others have followed. Find creative combinations, chef-driven flavors, and elevated presentations perfect for upscale corporate events and weddings.

Unlimited Taco Service

Vatos Locos Tacos and other San Antonio caterers offer unlimited taco service for weddings and large events—guests eat as much as they want for a set time. Traditional recipes from across Mexico, served buffet-style.
