ON THE MENU | ROLANDO’S SUPER TACOS
93 Shasta Ave, San Antonio, TX 78221
Rolando’s has been serving San Antonio since 1979, building a following at its Hildebrand location and here at the Shasta location. Ownership recently changed hands, and the original family is now running the Shasta Avenue kitchen, with Mari Mendez, the daughter of Rolando, as owner, and Ruben Rojas serving as general manager. More than a third of the kitchen is dedicated to tortillas alone, rolled by hand by the same tortillera, Susie, who has been with the restaurant since it opened in 1979.
The signature order is the massive super supreme taco, layered with beans, rice, carne guisada in a thick gravy, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, and tomato. Regular-sized tacos cover the classics too, including bean and cheese, chorizo and egg, and carne asada with cheese, all wrapped in those puffy, pillowy flour tortillas.
