Food Scene

Renowned for its brisket tacos and its charro (soupy) beans. Order the brisket plate (I like the corn tortillas, but the flour are hand made too) and ask for charro beans instead of refried. A must!

Blanco Café 1720 Blanco– Blanco Café’s enchaladas were voted best in San Antonio. I love their caldos on early Saturday and Sunday mornings (a San Antonio tradition). Check out cool shopping area.

Drinks & Nightlife

Heartstopping chicken fried steak with gravy and schooners of beer. It has been around forever, but has become trendy in the last couple of years, but it has not changed its 1950s Texas ambiance.
