San Antonio’s breakfast taco scene is facing a significant change with the closure of Rosa’s Tacos To Go, a local favorite for 16 years. The family-owned taqueria, known for its handmade tortillas and carne guisada, announced its shutdown on October 27 through a heartfelt

Over its years of service, Rosa’s Tacos To Go earned an esteemed reputation, even securing second place in the 2015 San Antonio Express-News Breakfast Taco Madness – an accolade that placed them above longtime contenders like Mi Tierra and Taco Taco. Their popularity persisted despite criticisms from a 2017 food review in the
San Antonio Express-News
, which denoted their corn tortillas as lacking “real flavor.”
While the actual reason behind the closure wasn’t made clear in their farewell post, Rosa’s has assured their clientele that the decision wasn’t economically driven, but a matter of a “failure of visions.” Fans have since been quick to warmly recall their favorite menu items and the sincere hospitality. One customer, Carol Olmos Viagran, lamented, “This is such sad news! We will miss you. I’m happy to say that we were fortunate to have recently stopped and got our taco fix; Thank you for welcoming us like family. Your hellos and our conversations at the window showed how genuine and sincere your family is.” capturing the sentiment felt by many amid the goodbye, a statement obtained by the

With Rosa’s curtains drawn, San Antonio will miss the vibrant corner once known for local flavors. Joe said, “For now no more sad stories let’s get back to business,” according to a statement from
