Rolando's Super Tacos

Frommer's Review

Rolando's, one of the many small businesses that pack both sides of W. Hildebrand between I-10 and Trinity University, offers further proof that once you get out of the downtown tourist zone, you'll find San Antonio a dining bargain. Next door to a Chevron gas station, Rolando's is a rambling shack painted in vivid red and green. It doesn't look that big, especially when you walk through the door into a small room, but the dining room beyond goes way back and turns a corner, running all along the back of the shack. The surroundings aren't spectacular, but they're loaded with a local feel.

Rolando's is open only for breakfast and lunch and is famous for its extra large "super tacos," which can be had in corn or flour tortillas with a variety of fillings. One is a meal. Also popular are the carne guisada (beef stewed in a chile sauce) plate and the puffy tacos.
