Blanco Cafe - San Antonio, TX

Another client meeting another lunch.....this time in San Antonio, the heartland of South of the boarder cuisine. Great traditional Mexican restaurant with super speedy service. Probably 5-10 minutes from order being placed to food on your table. Exactly what you want when eating lunch.

I ordered the #4, Carne Asade a la Mexicana with rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole and flour tortillas. Everything was good but the highlight of this meal were the home made flour tortillas. These were some of the best tortillas i have ever eaten. They reminded me of a cross between a classic thin tortilla and a pita. It was a bit thicker, almost like a pancake, and a traditional tortilla taste with a hint of sweetness. When I think of it it almost reminded me of traditional Naan bread from an Indian restaurant I visited in London last year with my dear friend Karambir.

All in all, for a great Mexican meal when in San Antonio visit Blanco Cafe.
