We Have A Rich History

Blanca Aldaco opened Aldaco’s restaurant in 1989 at its original Commerce Street location. The restaurant quickly grew to be a local favorite and in 1999, Aldaco’s moved to their former, much larger, location at historic Sunset Station. In March 2008, Aldaco’s in the Stone Oak area opened its doors, fulfilling a dream of operating a restaurant in the north side of San Antonio. Today, Aldaco’s is still serving fine Mexican cuisine to locals and visitors alike.

Let Aldaco’s transport you to Mèxico for traditional, cantina-style dining. Aldaco’s is available nightly for private events and offers cooking classes perfect for team building or interactive dinner events.
