San Antonio｜Mexican Breakfast Spot 🌮

Girls, you won’t believe it — stepping into this place instantly brought back memories of having breakfast back home in China 🥺💕. It feels just like a neighborhood breakfast joint where regulars gather, everyone knows the routine — grab a tray, order at the counter, get your own drinks… so full of life and warmth 🏘️✨. Here’s how I found this gem: I woke up early to get free saplings with a friend — they said distribution started at 8:00 AM, but my friend arrived at 7:30 AM and they were already gone 🌳😭. I asked a police officer nearby what time to come next time, and he said… 4:00 AM!! After that shock, my friend and I searched for nearby breakfast spots and found this one with 1,200+ Google reviews and 4 stars 🌟. Even before 8:00 AM, the place was already buzzing! I hesitated at the door about whether to seat myself, but friendly regulars started guiding me right away — where to grab a tray, how to order, where to get drinks 🥤👵👴. While waiting for my friend, I sat down, and the man at the next table asked if it was my first time. When I nodded, he shared that he grew up in this neighborhood and has been eating here since he was 8 or 9 years old 🧒➡️👨. We even discovered he used to live near my current area — such a small, heartwarming world ❤️. It’s a cozy, cafeteria-style setup — you point at which tacos you want, the server scoops generous portions (no skimping here! 😆), and you fill your own drink. I kept thinking… if there was a Chinese cafeteria like this near me, I’d be in heaven 🥢✨. The tortillas are fresh and chewy — definitely handmade. I got a potato + sausage combo 🥔🌭, and my friend ordered carne guisada (braised beef) + barbacoa (shredded beef). Loaded with meat, delicious, and affordable — with drinks, it was under $10 for both of us! 💸👍 📍 Tacos Martinez Cafeteria 5034 West Commerce St, San Antonio, TX 78237 #Texas #SanAntonioFood #SanAntonio #FoodieCheckIn #SanAntonioTravel #AroundSanAntonio
