What We Serve
Made to order, every order. Ask about our daily specials and seasonal salsas.
Marinated pork, grilled pineapple, cilantro, and onion on a fresh corn tortilla. Our most popular order — and for good reason.
Slow-braised beef in a rich chile broth, melted cheese, served with a side of consommé for dipping. Weekend special — ask your server.
Grilled skirt steak, charred at the edges, topped with fresh pico de gallo and guacamole. Simple, bold, and satisfying.
Cilantro-lime grilled chicken, crumbled queso fresco, and a squeeze of fresh lime. A lighter option that doesn't compromise on flavor.
Golden fried tortilla layered with refried beans, shredded lettuce, tomato, cheese, and your choice of meat. Crunch in every bite.
Fresh fried churros dusted with cinnamon sugar, served with a cup of thick Mexican chocolate. The perfect finish to any meal.
All tacos come on fresh corn tortillas made in-house daily. Ask about our vegetarian options and daily specials.
Our Story
TAQUIZAS VELA started with a simple belief: the best tacos don't come from a freezer or a machine. They come from hands that know the feel of fresh masa and the patience to let flavor develop slowly.
Located on Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio's Alamo Heights, we've been serving neighbors who expect nothing less than honest food. Our tortillas are pressed from scratch each morning. Our salsas are made the day before. Our ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible.
This isn't a chain. It's a neighborhood kitchen — the kind of place where regulars know your name and your order before you sit down.
