If you know nothing else about San Antonio’s history, know this: San Antonio is Tex-Mex. It literally is a blend of both cultures! It’s been a city in Mexico and it’s been a city in Texas and nowadays it’s a colorful blend of both Texan and Mexican culture. That’s why the best Tex Mex food in…
There’s an awful lot to love about the new watering hole, Otto’s Ice House, which recently opened adjacent to the Pearl Brewery. Tons of space, river views, laid back vibe, great food, quality drinks…need we say more? In fact, Otto’s Ice House is just about everything you could want in a neighborhood bar or weekend…
The Carpenter restaurant group has done it again with the opening of their brand new all-day diner concept, Beau’s Tiny Diner. And tiny it most certainly is, taking over the previous space of Little Em’s Oyster Bar (which is now across the street in what was formerly UpScale). With room for just a few tables…

And yes, all the descriptives beg…

Thankfully, a short but festive holiday occurs in March which can be considered the opening act for San Antonio’s massive Fiesta party – St. Patrick’s Day. While you may not exactly think of…
It’s no shocker that the best Tex Mex in San Antonio is definitely not on the Riverwalk. Ask any San Antonio local foodie where to get amazing Tex-Mex, and 10/10 they will definitely not direct you to any of the busy restaurants on the Riverwalk! BUT (you knew there was a but, didn’t you?) yes…there…
Please don’t take this to mean there’s no good Tex-Mex in San Antonio. I know that this city is swimming with some of the best flour tortillas, breakfast tacos, queso, and fajitas in the world! San Antonio literally is Tex-Mex. But when someone asks where to find good Tex-Mex on the Riverwalk, I just have…
