The taqueria is San Antonio's everyday workhorse, from breakfast tacos to tacos al pastor. La Gloria at the Pearl, from a well-known local chef, brings Mexican street-taco styles to the district, while Tacos El Regio on the St Mary's Strip and El Milagrito Cafe in Tobin Hill keep the no-frills counter tradition going.
La Gloria brings Mexican street food to the Pearl's River Walk patio, where a shared spread of tacos, ceviche and elotes beats ordering individual entrees.
