Hi-Ho Mexican Restaurant
Hi-Ho Restaurant
One of the city's oldest taquerias and a favorite of Tejano music legend Selena, known for breakfast tacos on handmade flour tortillas.
This inexpensive family-run spot has been open for more than 40 years. The tourism board calls it the go-to place for breakfast tacos, and it is famous as the favorite restaurant of Tejano music legend Selena. Her photos cover the walls, and the Selena Museum is right next door. The signature is breakfast tacos wrapped in handmade flour tortillas. The “Suicide Taco” combines bacon, potatoes, refried beans, Mexican sausage and cheese in one. Selena's go-to dish, stewed beef in gravy, is also popular. The restaurant opens at 5 a.m. and serves breakfast and brunch only, so expect a queue on weekend mornings. Expect about US$8–15 per person. It is located west of downtown on Morgan Avenue, so you'll need a car.
