With its broad carport awning, Ray's combines American drive-up car culture with the low-ceilinged feel of a country diner with good tacos, fried chicken and corn tortilla Crispy Dogs. Best taco: Puffy taco with beef. 822 SW 19th St., 210-432-7171, Facebook: Ray's Drive Inn

At just $1.16 a shot, it's worth experimenting with every meat on the menu. But the best among them is tripas, those tubular bits of small intestine, cooked as crispy as Cheetos wrapped in steak fat on mini corn tortillas.

This taco solves the carne conundrum: Carne guisada can be too runny; carne asada can be too dry. Carne con chile cuts right down the middle, like grilled steak with a gravy glaze punctuated by tomatoes, onions and peppers.

The math works out to 83 cents apiece for a weekday trio of breakfast tacos at $2.49, but the math doesn't begin to represent the value you get for a chilaquiles taco stuffed with two fresh eggs, pico de gallo and tortilla chips, scrambled together like a proper Tex-Mex breakfast plate.

Build a big enough taco and people will show up just to see if the rumors are true. Witness the Norteño. Is it really 13 inches across? Yes. Is it decked out like a fajita sizzle platter? Check. Is it really $6.99? Affirmative. And worth it.

The tender pork that clings to the stewed, pressed pigskin of this chicharrón taco creates a lean equilibrium, and a salsa roja braise adds the sharp notes. It's not just a taco; it's a song about a taco.

Behold the power of Tommy's barbacoa: I didn't even mind the Big Red. It was subtle, elegant and primal at the same time. The spare, lean fibers melted into the fat to create a black velvet painting of beef in all its roasted glory, set off by cool guacamole on a fresh flour tortilla.

Nothing caramelizes and integrates the achiote marinade of pastor into the pork quite like a vertical trompo rotisserie. Think of a gyro, think of shawarma. Now think of pastor from the trompo, and you get a mental picture of the coral-rimmed velveteen ribbons of meat on street tacos built from 3½-inch corn tortillas.

Bless the regular taquería customers whose elaborate special orders wind up on the permanent menu. Such is the Chorizo Delight, a near-perfect breakfast taco with grill-fried potatoes, American cheese, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo and chorizo so charmingly greasy it paints the tortilla orange.

This is the Ramones of San Antonio taquerías — just some guys playing three chords and the carnitas from an old diner building with a dusty picnic courtyard. Like the Ramones, it's the real deal. Featured taco: Carnitas. 1107 Roosevelt Ave., 210-612-3626, Facebook: Carnitas Lonja
Three new taco options and an upgraded margarita made with blue agave tequila will be on the Taco Cabana menu starting on Monday.
Flame-grilled tacos, made with fajita chicken, will be offered in three flavors: grilled peppers and onions with salsa roja, roasted poblanos with ranchero sauce and cheese, and bacon and jalapeño with salsa ranch.

The tacos will sell for $2.29 each or mix and match any three for $5.99 for a limited time.
The tequila upgrade is considered a permanent addition. The new "premium margaritas" will be made with 100 percent blue agave Lunazul Tequila, and customers can get a 12 ounce glass for $5.75 or $3 during happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. every day.
