After two weeks and hundreds of votes, we are now down to the final three in KSAT 12′s Tasty Taco Showdown! The final three in alphabetical order are...drumroll please:

- Garcia’s

- Tommy’s

- Taquitos West

These three taco spots were voted on by KSAT Insiders and viewers! The other three in the second round were Original Donut Shop, Pete’s Tako House and Ray’s Drive Inn. We appreciate the support for those great taco spots, but now we move on to the championship round.

Vote

Let’s go on to the final round of voting. Pick your favorite from these three taco spots and we’ll reveal the champion on KSAT News Now on Oct. 13 at 11 a.m!

Just a reminder, this evolved from a recent episode of KSAT Explains that dove deep into the local taco culture and how the food has helped shaped the identity of the Alamo City. You can watch it here. (Voting results for Round 1 below.)

Being exclusively on digital platforms gives us the ability to take as much or as little time as we need to dive into any given topic. It also gives you, the viewer, the opportunity to watch on-demand, whenever you have 15 or 20 minutes. There are a lot of perks and several options.

Here’s a list of all the ways you can watch KSAT Explains.

  • All new and past episodes of KSAT Explains are available to view any time on a mobile device or desktop at ksat.com/Explains
  • All episodes are also available to watch on-demand on the free KSAT-TV streaming app, which works with Roku, and many smart TVs and devices.
