I don't know who the hell Malik is, but I'm about to start telling people he's my second cousin on my father's side. My guy's cheesesteaks are ON POINT! I'm from the northeast and after NYC, Philly is my favorite city. I've eaten at all the "best" cheesesteak places in the city and Malik's is right up there with the best, dare I say even better. As I stood in line at the food truck park trying to decide which cheesesteak to get, I heard the ancestors calling to me, "Pick the one that sounds most authentic." I skipped the Elder Eats. No shade, but that seemed too SATX for my people, and settled on the Malik Cheesesteak. Black Jesus anointed that sandwich from bread to mayo. Black angels sung out the hallelujah chorus when I bit into it. My spirit was comforted as I ate the food of my people. The meat was seasoned. Not "salt and pepper is too spicy" seasoned, but "Big Mama in Soul Food" seasoned. The bread was fluffy and warm, the toppings minimal because the meat was doing the heavy lifting. Utter perfection. Even the fries seemed to taste like they touched the hem of Marcus Garvey's cloak. THIS is what San Antonio is missing. Authentic food, made by folks who know what the hell they're doing and don't try to go overboard with the gimmicks. Malik and his whole crew are invited to the cookout now...

Philly’s Phamous has hands down always been my favorite cheesesteak in town. I never cheated on them, even after moving to the far west side of town. I would always make the drive when I got the craving. Once they popped up over here I wasted no time. I’ve ate there more in the past month than I have in the last year and let me tell you. Every single time the steak I swear is the best one yet. And the water ice is literally Gods gift to this earth. If you want phenomenal food topped off with an awesome staff who gives amazing service. Head on over, you’ll be happy you did! Pictured: Chicken Malik’s add mozzarella & parm...
