Taco210Mexico brings bold flavors from Monterrey to North San Antonio

The taco spot offers a selection of traditional Tex-Mex dishes, from street tacos to burrito bowls, all with a twist.

Hernandez said what sets the restaurant apart in San Antonio is its selection of dishes, which are popular in Monterrey and throughout the state of Nuevo León, Mexico.

“The best dishes are carne asada, machacado and chilaquiles,” Hernandez said.

Combining the popular San Antonio-style breakfast taco with breakfast options from Monterrey, the restaurant offers machacado and chilaquiles tacos all day.

Machacado is a mix of shredded beef cooked and scrambled with eggs, onion, peppers, spices and cheese; while chilaquiles are crispy tortillas simmered in salsa and topped with crema, corn and a choice of protein.

Hernandez said his favorite part about being a first-time restaurant owner is making sure people in the community are well fed.

“I like to be the one talking directly to the customers,” he said. “Seeing them smile and enjoying what we’ve made is important.”

By bringing together flavors from both Monterrey and South Texas, Hernandez said he hopes to appeal to the appetite of all San Antonians.

As the future looms, Hernandez said he wants to continue working to ensure the restaurant becomes a community staple.

While the menu may change and shift over time, Hernandez said the core elements of Texas and Mexican cuisines will remain.

“People can come enjoy us whenever they want to,” he said. “It’s a good place to gather and commune.”
