REVIEW: El Milagrito

So S and I play this little game where we take turns choosing where to eat. Today was my turn because I do not cook on weekends. Did a quick Yelp search for breakfast and this was the #1 listing.

I used to dine at El Milagrito back in the late 90s when I worked at the Funeral Home/Cemetery. We would traipse across town during our AM break. Yeah we would take hour breaks but we had it like that. I remember this place being my fave breakfast taco place at that time. It literally had been years since I had been to this joint.

REVIEW: Taco Haven

Breakfast in Southtown. I had never been to this San Antonio mainstay mainly because every time I try to go, there is a line down the block, of peeps trying to get into the joint. Today was different and I even found parking in their own parking lot.

I had the Reggies Weekend Special: 2 Eggs (any style) Papas con Chile, Barbacoa, Refried Beans and small quesadillas. There was enough food on my plate to feed a small army but this Army of One devoured it all. The Barbacoa was a bit dry but at least it wasn't greasy like it is at most places. The papas had some type of chile sauce mixed in them and it was pretty good and flavorful. The quesadillas were pretty good too. The cheese was gooey w/out being spongey. The homemade flour tortillas were fresh and hot. Of course it wouldn't be Puro San Antonio w/out a big glass of Big Red.

4.1 Stars out of 5

PS: Went across the street to Bubblehead for my bubble tea fix. I forgot to take a picture.

PPS: After Bubblehead went across the street from that place to AAA Salvage. The visit there was inspired by this blog and I found it in the first place by visiting this place. It was a Reclaimed Freight Center that only had food. I was not impressed although it was full of frugal shoppers.
