Los Pinguinos #5

Thank God that they are finally bringing things from Laredo to San Antonio I highly recommend this place.

My mouth is watering as I begin to write this review. Pinguinos is delicious snack bar that originated in my home town, Laredo. Whenever the bf and I make it home to visit family we would always make sure to bring a corn in the cup back to S.A. with us. As you can tell when we found out there was a location opening in S.A. we were overjoyed! No longer would we have to drive 140 miles for something ever so tasty.
The staff is always so kind when I order and just recently we discovered they have yellow and white corn, if you haven’t tried the white corn you simply must. I’ve only ever tried the corn in the cups, nachos and hot flamers with cheese and honestly that’s all I need. The price is great and so is the wait.
I also must add that my bf and I searched high and low for a corn in the cup place here in S.A. that compared to this and no one came close. Some used Parmesan cheese or the chili just wasn’t right. So don’t waste your time searching, we already did that for you just come here and have a corn in the cup the right way!

I have been to the Los Pinguinos in Laredo, TX and the snacks have always been amazing. I’m so glad they finally opened Los Pinguinos # 5 in San Antonio so I don’t have to drive so far to satisfy my cravings! My favorite snack is their Elote Desgranado which is a cup of white or yellow sweet corn, mixed with mayo, a white cheese and chile. My husband always has a Frito Pie and says they are the delicious. The service is friendly and prices are fair. This is a must try if you’re seeking a simple, yummy snack!

The only way this place could be any better is if it were in my backyard.
I don’t consider myself a foodie, and this review is solid proof of why. I found myself at Los Pinguinos ordering a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos drenched, no… DROWNING, in nacho cheese. I know what you’re thinking. You’re right. It was amazing.
I shared that treat so that I could try something else from Los Pinguinos. See, ever since my fiancée and her family moved to San Antonio from Laredo the hunt for a corn cup that meets their expectations has been going full force. The opening of a Los Pinguinos in San Antonio brought the decade-​long-​hunt to an end. Folks, it’s here!
Los Pinguinos #5 is basically the salvation you’ve all been praying for… as long as salvation comes in the form of corn kernels smothered in cheeses, chile, lime, and butter. If that’s not your idea of heaven, then your search continues. For the rest of us, well, you can find us on the other side of the tracks at Los Pinguinos.
Provecho!
