This has been long standing one of the best series to come from Munchies hands down. The host literally makes it. Takes us deep into the cultures of each respectable area and type of taco.

I went to combat medic school at Ft. Sam Houston 16 years ago. I spent many weekends and nights in SA, and ate A LOT of puffy tacos. I haven't been back since I graduated AIT all those years ago, and seeing this is just bringing it all back. I can practically taste the food. SA is one of my absolute favorite cities in America.

I don't eat much puffy tacos but I love seeing my home city represented! After living in the highly gentrified and tourist trap Austin for years, I'm so much more appreciative of San Antonio's preservation of culture. Puro San Antonio baby!

I am from San Antonio, this video made me cry!!!

Glad to see a genuine mom and pop shop featured here!!

Love my city culture food and people! San Antonio Texas

The locals eat at Ray’s!!!

Lala's (the second restaurant) is the real deal. Every taco lover NEEDS to eat there at least once. It's amazing how much effort and love they put into preparing their foods, absolutely delicious!

Mr. Steven Pizzini 😄 the funniest person on the planet and his mom Ms. Josie are wonderful people. Talk about San Antonio royalty, I bow. 💕 his family has been making the puffies since the 1930s and the Molino we use to smash the corn has magical vibes in the rocks… lol ok. Y’all need to go eat there. 🙏🏻 And yes, reading the comments about how not many young people know or have had the puffy tacos. It’s pretty neat how the taco puffy came to be.

I now want a puffy taco and a sopapilla 🙃

I like how each family has their story and their own way of making it delicious. Definitely will try it out if I ever make my way to San Antonio!

I'm proud to be from San Antonio and puffy tacos are my favorite.

This is definitely one of my favorite videos, never thought about visiting San Antonio until now! 😍

when i was a boy i lived in ft. worth texas. on a very special occasion we would go to bluebonnet circle and eat at caro's restaurant. they had puffy chips and salsa. bite off the corner of the chip and the little pocket would hold more salsa. as an adult i went back there and ate when i could until they closed. thank you for what you do.

Great episode. Love Paco. Paco is great man. Paco helped me realize that everything can Taco.

I thought it was interesting that no one felt the need to claim they’d invented it. You don’t often see that in these sort of situations. People often have friendly feuds with this kind of thing. But these people, while proud of their food and history, were humble enough not to claim that their family came up with it.

Puffy tacos have been in San Antonio since the 1950’s at the Malt House between Buena Vista and Commerce back in the day. It’s changed owners during the years but I have good memories of this meeting place for teenagers.

Yep, always a Puffy Taco kind of guy myself!

So hungry watching this

Interesting, reminds me of the Navajo tacos(Indian taco). Found across many reservations and pow wows. Very yummy.

Looks like tthat Indian greasy greasy fry bread as a taco. Fiiiiiiire

Son originales de la Zona Yucateca de México, (Campeche, Mérida yuc, y Quintana Roo) en cualquier restaurante local se encuentran o en mercados, son llamados salbutes y panuchos . Arriba llevan pavo, desmenuzado , con aguacate lechuga tomate y cebolla . Visiten está zona y si vienen a Mérida en el mercado de Santa Ana uffff los mejores. RECETA : harina de maíz 2 tazas (mazeca ) agua tibia 150 ml , sal y cdita de harina de trigo (amasar que no quede pegajosa , dejar reposar tapada 20 min ) . se utiliza la maricona para darle la forma adecuada

Reminds me of Indian fry bread except those are made with wheat flour.

They should've gone to Oscar's, that place has the best puffy tacos around

Yummy 😋

I love San Antonio my hometown and chef Barrios is right the food can't be duplicated I've been living in New York city for 10 years nothing compares to the food from home

Love puffy taco. Hard to get in Louisiana tho.
