One word for Angie's taco's, unique! Using the thickest corn tortillas I've seen, Angie put together a fine taco. The shell isn't as crispy as I normally like them, but they are awesome. Packed with meat and all the other required elements, I could eat these tacos all day.

Watch out for the green salsa....don't try it without a drink in hand. It is spicy and good.

The service was a bit slow, but they were very crowded during our visit. The beer selection was the typical pick for a Mexican restaurant, but it was cold.

One negative, if they are crowded (lunch), don't plan on carrying on a conversation. With tile floors, wood beamed ceilings, and unadorned walls, this is the noisiest restaurant I've ever been in. Sound just reverberates off everything. My ears were hurting when we left. But don't let that stop you from trying the best taco in East Austin.

Casa Rio
430 Comerce Street
San Antonio, TX
(210) 225-6718

One of the first restaurants built on what is now the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, Casa Rio is the home to the most perfect taco I have found so far. Huge hand fried shells, loaded with flavorful beef and mounded with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. See for yourself:

I could hardly get it in my mouth....but succeeded. The sausa was home made, the chips fresh, and the service couldn't have gotten much better. You can eat inside or right on the river and watch the tourist boats go by. And did I mention the beer was cold.

Beer Trivia Time: I tried the Alamo ale brewed by Real Ale Brewery in Blanco. It tasted a lot like their Firemans 4. I found out later, that's because it is. Just bottled with a different label for the San Antonio crowd.

Casa Rio, a place I've been to many time and will go to again and again!
