Victor Wembanyama is most excited for breakfast tacos, as he should be.
Getting drafted in the NBA is a wild experience that changes a player’s life upside down in a moment. They have to get used to the fame, the fortune, moving to a new city, and starting a new life. This is an especially big jump for Victor Wembanyama, who leaves France behind and heads to Texas — but one thing about this move is already on his mind.
One thing Wembanyama says he is excited about for his move to Texas: “Breakfast tacos. I’ve heard a lot about breakfast tacos.” Good call.

Power move. True, brilliant, power move. The most important part of moving to a new town is quickly identifying the best food in your area, and it’s clear Wemby already has that on lock. This is especially important when that food is something as brilliant as breakfast tacos, and you need to put on 10-15 pounds to really dominate in the paint.
I think 15 pounds of taco weight is easily achievable when the local paper ALREADY HAS A LIST OF THE 24 BEST BREAKFAST TACO PLACES IN TOWN!
TWENTY FOUR. TWO, AND THEN A FOUR.
Most cities would lust after having a few good breakfast taco places, but San Antonio is all like “we’ve got 24 for you.” Look at some of these things and salivate.
These are just three places, and there’s a whole new world of breakfast tacos for Wemby to explore.
Now, I often like to close blogs like this with a challenge — so I’m laying down the gauntlet to the breakfast taco luminaries of San Antonio. It’s time someone comes up with a signature Wemby taco that is the French/Mexican fusion we’ve been waiting for. I’ll leave it up to the chefs, but please consider the following ideas for free:
Has anyone put a breakfast taco in a crepe? You could
Brie is a great cheese to complement eggs
Does fois gras belong on a taco? Only one way to find out
I’m going to need to see the Wemby breakfast taco by next week, San Antonio.
