Texas: Gino’s Deli Stop N Buy, San Antonio©GinosDeliSA/Facebook
A no-frills mini mart in the heart of San Antonio probably isn’t the first place you’d expect to find a world-class Philly cheesesteak, but Gino’s Deli Stop N Buy has a cult following for its exceptional sammies. Each one contains a quarter pound of sliced ribeye and a melt-in-the-mouth tangle of sautéed onions, bell peppers, and smoked provolone cheese. Diners also praise the wonderfully juicy rotisserie chicken sandwiches and perfectly made BLTs. The spot used to be a gas station and convenience store, and has grown to become one of the region’s favorite hidden gems.
