Teka Molino

San Antonio’s Classic Tex-Mex Since 1937

Over 85 Years of Puffy Tacos, Enchiladas, and Fajitas

Teka Molino is a San Antonio institution. Family-owned and community-rooted since 1937, Teka Molino has been serving classic Tex-Mex to San Antonio families for more than 85 years. Their scratch-made puffy tacos are among the most recognized in the city. Their famous bean cups have made appearances at tables across San Antonio for generations.

Now at Make Ready Market in the River North District, Teka Molino brings that same legacy to a new neighborhood and a new generation of San Antonio diners. Their puffy tacos and bean cups were featured on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles Season 2 — a recognition that speaks to the depth of Teka Molino’s place in San Antonio food culture.

What Makes Teka Molino’s Tex-Mex Different

Teka Molino grinds their own masa in-house. That is where the puffy taco starts — with masa made fresh, formed by hand, and fried to order. The result is a taco with a crisp shell and a soft, airy interior that no chain restaurant can replicate. It is the kind of food that has kept San Antonio coming back for over eight decades.

The menu covers the full range of classic Tex-Mex: puffy tacos with your choice of filling, enchiladas, fajitas, and daily specials. Breakfast is served daily starting at 7 AM, making Teka Molino one of the few vendors at any San Antonio food hall offering a full morning menu.
