Nothing defines San Antonio mornings quite like the breakfast taco—a beloved staple of the city’s rich Mexican-American heritage. From April 16–18, the San Antonio Missions are honoring this local culinary icon by taking the field under a brand-new alternate identity: the San Antonio Breakfast Tacos.
As San Antonio’s professional baseball club, the Missions have always represented various aspects of what makes this city special, starting with the five Spanish missions that helped found the city San Antonio three centuries ago. In 2018, the introduction of the Flying Chanclas identity added a vibrant flair to our representation of the rich Hispanic culture not just in San Antonio but all around us. Now, we honor a food that has fully captured the essence of San Antonio.

When San Antonians wake up and have somewhere to go, chances are they’re grabbing a breakfast taco on the way. With little time to spare, the day’s most important meal gets wrapped in a warm, flaky tortilla that serves as a reliable and affordable vehicle to get the day started. Pair fluffy scrambled eggs with meat like chorizo or bacon, go with the classic bean and cheese, or build your own adventure. Whatever the choice, breakfast tacos never disappoint.
Everyone has their favorite style, and of course their go-to spot. Throw a stone—or a baseball—in any direction, and it’s likely to land at a place that serves breakfast tacos. No two places are the same, and yet they all feel familiar. Whether it’s quickly stopping by the drive-thru window or grabbing a seat inside if you have an extra moment, goodness awaits. And sometimes you don’t even need to leave home because the comal in the kitchen is already warming up the tortillas.
You see, San Antonio has always stood at the intersection of Mexican and American culture. Nowhere is that more present than the breakfast taco. While tacos have been a staple in Mexico for centuries, the breakfast taco has been cooked with San Antonio's special sauce since the mid 1900s. A city full of hard-working people who cherish family and heritage, San Antonio is proud of its history, and its food helps craft that story. No, it’s not a burrito. And while the popularity has spread beyond the Alamo City, make no mistake: the breakfast taco belongs to San Antonio.
For the first time ever, the San Antonio Missions will take the field as the San Antonio Breakfast Tacos on Friday, April 16 through Sunday, April 18, honoring a food that has fully captured the essence of San Antonio. Scroll this page for more information about this new identity, including an in-depth look at the logo and branding. Plus, take the opportunity to buy some new, exclusive Breakfast Tacos merchandise.
