San Antonio's best new taquerias, per Texas Monthly

The big picture: Taqueria owners are facing higher food prices, consumers who are tightening their spending habits and strict federal immigration enforcement impacting both workers and customers.

What they're saying: "There's never the right timing, and it's always the right timing," Juan Andion, who opened Tacos on the Street in San Antonio last year, tells Texas Monthly's José Ralat.

• "If we were concerned about what's happening in the world, we could be paralyzed."

Zoom in: The new San Antonio taco joints featured in the article, and some of their standout menu items, are:

• Aguazul: Big Red shrimp taco, shrimp aguachile azul
• Anacacho Coffee & Cantina: Big Red and barbacoa tacos, a longtime favorite from chef Leo Davila, who brought the dish from his former restaurant Stixs & Stone
• Tacos on the Street: Carne asada and chicken tacos
• Waca: Wacabolas, or fritters of guacamole, chicken and cheese

What we're watching: A San Antonio native also owns one of the best new spots in Austin, Comadre Panadería — a bakery that started selling breakfast tacos last year.
