In the wake of the July 4th floods that struck the Hill Country, Edgar Zamorano said he felt obligated to help in any way he could.

The action taken

Zamorano was working at the Bevy Hotel in Boerne, where many Texas Department of Public Safety, or DPS, workers were staying before heading into Kerr County to help with rescue and cleanup efforts.

“The guys from the DPS were leaving town at 5 a.m.,” Zamorano said. “So I asked them the first night if there was any way I could donate them breakfast.”

Making San Antonio’s famous breakfast tacos and seeing a need for hardworking first responders to be fed, Zamorano went to Kerrville—marking the beginning of Operation Taco, his new nonprofit.

Now, Zamorano said he serves first responders across the entire region and is waiting to expand his operation further.

With the group's TikTok account garnering millions of views and gaining more nationwide support, Zamorano said he wants to do even more to help first responders.

“I thought, how do I keep doing this? I’ve loved every second of it,” Zamorano said.


Mapping it out

He’s delivered thousands of tacos to the San Antonio Police Department, the Kerrville Fire Department, Boerne Police and more since Operation Taco began in early July.

“It’s coordinating with police stations in the area and figuring out days and times to drop off the goods,” Zamorano said.

Once he’s approved as an official 501(c)(3), Zamorano hopes to grow his operation beyond South Central Texas in early 2026.


“I never expected this to go from a single favor to an entire operation,” Zamorano said.
