Texas’ Best Breakfast

Huevos a la Mexicana

In June, 2010, Southtown’s TACO HAVEN on S. Presa St., received the “Texas Best Breakfast Award” with the Food Network Magazine. Their “Reggie’s Weekend Special” brought the honors to this well known family restaurant.

We can testify ourselves, that EVERY breakfast there is wonderful, but the “Reggie’s Weekend Special” is phenomenal. Now hear this: It includes two Huevos Rancheros, two cheese quesadillas, refried beans, and potatoes rancheros. Fresh tortillas are served with a side of barbacoa (all cheek meat), too! All of this is only $7.50. No doubt you’ll want to come hungry!

Owned and operated by the Jerry Torres Family, Torres Taco Haven prides itself on continuing its rich history of providing wonderfully tasty and authentic food with great service all in a tradition filled ambiance.

Decades of tradition, authentic ingredients and a great variety in their menu are what makes their dishes popular with everyone — not only in San Antonio, but with travelers, stopping in for this sought-after experience.

The County Line Just Keeps on Giving!

The legendary County Line restaurant on I-10 has been a favorite for locals and tourists alike for over 20 years. The image of their family style platters heaped high with BBQ and all the fixin’s, compels me to grab the car keys, gather up the family, and head over for dinner.  

There’s no doubt that the County Line is hugely successful, but the company passes on their blessings in a variety of ways. The most notable is their free live music concert every Wednesday night. These concerts, held from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m., are designed to support the San Antonio Food Bank. All who attend are merely requested to bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation as their “admission fee”.  This page on their website, will provide the current concert schedule. Just click on the “Music Series” box for more.

We’re proud to list them as the sponsor of our Dad’s Day $50 dinner giveaway, too. $5Dining asked readers of our newsletter to participate in a recent survey. All contributors’ names were entered for the drawing for the feast at the County Line.

These folks know how to serve up Bar-B-Q the right way, with everything made fresh daily in-house.  If you haven’t been to the County Line yet, we assure you that the experience will be memorable. Oh, and don’t forget to top off your meal with some of their homemade ice cream!
