More national attention is coming our way, this time via Food & Wine. The magazine published a list of best chili in the U.S. and the Institute of Chili by Chamoy City Limits made the cut along with two other Texan joints. Currently Chamoy City Limits offers full service catering in San Antonio which include the chili & tamales and the shaved ice faves.

Here's what Food & Wine had to say about the Southtown-born food truck:

Wanna check out a champion food truck this weekend? Then check out the Institute of Chili at Alamo Street Eat Bar. Thanks in part to its tacos al pastor, The Institute's truck took top prize at last weekend's Twisted Taco Throwdown at the VFW Chamoy City Limits chili queen catering raspa shaved ice

“Last year we attended A Day in Old Mexico & Charreada. We ate elote dressed with lemon, mayonnaise, cheese and chili powder. Also there was a vendor there selling fried beef brain tacos (cessos). We have made these ourselves—basically you take the cow brain and mix it along with ground beef and spices. Roll it in a corn tortilla, slide a toothpick into it and deep fry!”

Parked just a short walk from the Alamo in a bustling food truck park called Alamo Street Eat Bar, the truck offers traditional and updated chili dishes: chili on a brisket burger, chili on fajita tacos, chili on tamales, and, of course, straightforward chili served with cornbread

“The food we serve is like the food the Chili Queens served, a mix of Tex-Mex and cowboy, the food that was born here in San Antonio,” Fernandez said. Both her food and her art seem rooted, literally, in her sense of place here.
