Taco House Menu — San Antonio’s Cash-Only Breakfast Institution
Handmade corn and flour tortillas, a puffy taco San Antonio actually brags about, and prices that still start under two dollars. Run by the same family since 1992.
Discounts & Daily Deals

Barbacoa is the weekend-only special — the dish regulars build their Saturday morning around.

Meet the Family Behind Taco House
One woman opened it in 1992. Her family has run it every day since.
RoseMary Harper opened Taco House on San Pedro Avenue on August 10, 1992. Over three decades later, it’s still a family operation — local coverage of San Antonio’s puffy taco scene has specifically credited the sister duo Rochelle and Rose of Taco House as local legends for their oversized, stuffed-to-the-brim puffy tacos, alongside better-known names like Los Barrios and Lala’s Gorditas in the city’s puffy taco lineage.
The kitchen makes its corn and flour tortillas by hand, every day — not a side note, but the thing the restaurant leads with on its own signage. That’s also where the caldo comes in: a daily Beef or Chicken Caldo is one of the two dishes Taco House says it’s best known for, alongside the puffy tacos themselves.
It’s a small, cash-only, breakfast-and-lunch operation — open early, closed by early afternoon, and closed entirely on Mondays. That rhythm hasn’t changed much since 1992, and neither has the family running it.

What Makes Taco House Different
Tortillas made by hand, daily
Both corn and flour tortillas are handmade in-house every day — the restaurant’s own description leads with this before anything else on the menu.
One family, over 30 years
Founded by RoseMary Harper in 1992 and still run by family today, including the Rochelle-and-Rose duo local puffy taco coverage has singled out by name.
A day-of-week rhythm, not a static menu
Value meals Tuesday–Friday, barbacoa on weekends, and a daily rotating lunch special — the deals change with the calendar, not a coupon app.
Prices that still start under $2
A breakfast taco at $1.59 is a genuine rarity in San Antonio in 2026 — most of the full menu stays under $7.
