Best Mexican Tacos

Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill currently serves more than (12) different Tacos. We’ve tried most, but feature only (4) here. They’re not necessarily our favorites, but what’s photographed thus far. We’ll be adding to this post, as we sample others. Pictured above is the Grilled Portobello & Poblano Taco — It’s pretty messy, but is one of our favorites This day we also tried the Grilled Mesquite Shrimp Taco , the Carnitas Rajas Taco and the All American Taco (R.I.P.), no longer on Rubio’s menu.

The New Wave Tacos ... Read Full Story

Gloria Chadwick of Cookbook Cuisine was one of the first friends I met when I started this blog last summer. When she invited her readers to review her new cookbook Foods and Flavors of San Antonio of course I jumped at the chance. Honestly, I don't know where to start. It's a Tex-Mex Cookbook and so much more. The love Gloria has for San Antonio, her place of residence, is evident. To begin with Gloria takes us on a Tex-Mex tour of San Antonio and includes web sites for further exploration and trip planning. San Antonio is a wonderful vacation spot, rich in history ...
