Aldaco’s Restaurant – Celebrating 25 Great Years

Twenty five years and the fiesta is just getting started at Aldaco’s Stone Oak. Take it from me, it’s a (very) select group of women that can boast a quarter-century of owning, operating…doing everything in their restaurant.

It’s also why Goodtaste.tv and the Wine Sisterhood have chosen to recognize Blanca Aldaco for her outstanding accomplishments during Women’s History Month!

To this day, Blanca still drives by her original location – a century old house in St. Paul Square – that reminds her of just how far she’s come.

She was quick to remind me that she’s the oldest of her siblings, but was nonetheless flattered. :)

Now Blanca is on the verge of opening up her third restaurant, Aldaco’s at Dominion, and continuing to fine-tune her beloved recipes to meet the desires of changing palates. In other words, finding ways to satisfy both the National Mexican and ‘acquired’ Tex-Mex tastes of many native San Antonians. Everything is still made 100% from scratch, fresh, in-house…one tradition she’s very proud of.

Some things will never change — and shouldn’t! Cheers to Blanca and her beautiful history!
