Actor Pedro Pascal has weighed in on the great San Antonio or Austin taco debate.
Pascal was in Austin for the SXSW premiere of the Nicolas Cage film "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" and while on the red carpet he was asked which city had the better tacos.
"It's San Antonio people. It's San Antonio. If we're talking about tacos. Chile con queso maybe you get that in Austin, but you get a taco in San Antonio por favor," Pascal said. "No, yes, as far as I remember yeah it's San Antonio."
Pascal expressed his love for Austin, but it probably wasn't a surprise he chose San Antonio. He was born in Chile and his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a baby. He grew up in northern San Antonio and left the area when he was about 12 but he says he still feels "kinda Texan."
Even though "The Mandalorian" and "Game of Thrones" actor has offered up his opinion, we're pretty sure the "taco war" hasn't ended.

Wow, now I will sleep easier tonight.
lived in so cal for 10 years then moved to tx for 24.
was very disappointed with tex mex, but then they started doing real Mexican about 9 yrs ago, now i’m in ohio with no shrimp tacos.... :(
My favorite taco memory from my youth is from San Antonio. The tortilla was freshly made, from scratch.
It’s been hard to find that same taste.
I have no idea what a real Taco is , LOL
He was good in The Equalizer 2. But when you start making movies with Nicolas Cage, seems like your career might be in decline. Cage’s cheaply made action flicks usually aren’t that bad though.
really Vern? never been to Detroit, If I did it would be to get to the UP
Heck with the 🌮 (I love a good taco)... jealous someone went to school in SD... one of the best places in the U.S.A....

Few years back we went to San Diego and visited Old Town.
Restaurant there gave us a burrito that could choke a moose it was so big. Had to be nearly 4 inches in diameter.

I don’t know about tacos, but the best fajitas I have ever had were from a cart outside the PX at Ft. Sam Houston. I’ve been looking for that flavor ever since.
had a local tortillaria in my town in tx
nothing in the stores compares
That’s because Austin is made up of Gringos who think they are Messicans. ie: Beto the Bandito Gun Thief.
the secret is lard....

Yes, that could be it. Good point.
