Fideo · San Antonio
Fideo is a Tex-Mex comfort dish of thin vermicelli noodles toasted golden, then simmered in a tomato-and-chile broth with onion and garlic until soft.
Fideo came to Mexico via Spanish and earlier Arab noodle traditions and settled into Mexican-American home cooking across south Texas. In San Antonio it is the kind of everyday dish more often eaten at home than ordered out, though family-run Tex-Mex rooms keep it on the menu as a side or a light soup, a quiet emblem of the city's home-kitchen heritage.
