Taco Taco!




I can’t do a food review without talking about Taco Taco. I’m pretty sure every person on the Trinity Campus has heard of it. It is a staple place to eat near school. Not only is it popular with the average person in San Antonia, but it has garnered national attention. Food network declared the best tacos in America come from Taco Taco. I thought that was a pretty bold statement. That was until I tried their tacos. With out a doubt they were the best tacos I’ve ever had. The restaurant itself is in a small, somewhat run down building. Don’t be deceived by this. Come at the wrong time and you will find yourself waiting in a line that usually stretches outside. It is well worth the wait. The trick to avoiding the line is to call in the order for pick up. Even if there is no line, its close to impossible to find an open table. So you are better off getting it to go. Besides the taste, the prices are also very reasonable. You might think the best taco in America would be expensive but it is not the case here. This little family owned restaurant defiantly tailors to the college student with a great food for little money.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries


Five Guys Burgers and Fries is the place to go if you want a juicy burger with just about anything you want on it. Everything there is reasonably priced and made when ordered. The meat is never frozen and the potatoes to make the fries are brought in fresh everyday. If you’re not feeling a cheeseburger then grab one of hot dogs. The hot dogs are amazing and just like the burgers, can be topped with just about anything you’d like. The toppings include the usual mayo, relish, onions, and ketchup along with other things like grilled mushrooms and hot sauce. All the toppings are free. There are regular and Cajun style fries. The fries come in two sizes, regular, which feeds two people, and the large, which is supposed to feed up to 4 people. The only problem I have with Five Guys is there lack of milkshakes and ranch dressing. Every good burger place should serve milkshakes. I’m a huge fan of ranch dressing with my fries but Five Guys doesn’t have it. The only location in San Antonio is in the Quarry Village, which is about a 5-minute drive from campus. So if you’re looking for an amazing cheeseburger and fries, Five Guys is always a good safe bet.
