August 7, 20241 yr So we're heading to the Bandera this weekend and I'm looking for recommendations for some restaurant recommendations not too far off the route, so 1604 area? Grew up in northwest SA but it's been years since I've stomped around there and figure it's a whole new ballgame out there. I was considering B-Daddy's BBQ in Helotes, which is excellent if you haven't tried it, but since we've been already I'm open to any other suggestions, any type of cuisine -- although greasy Tex-Mex is always high on the list. Gracias.

August 7, 20241 yr I'll second El Chap. And if you haven't been that way in a while, you're in for a real treat. Do you like traffic?
August 8, 20241 yr No... It's by San Pedro Creek Project. So think old Fox Tech High School area. Graham Weston and his group have been buying up property Not far from Bill Miller Headquarters... Graham bought the Missions? Good for him.Hard to believe that it’s been nearly a quarter century since we built Rackspace.

August 19, 20241 yr Just a thought....but would any of you SA Surly members be interested in a watch party at Little Woodrows at 1604/Braun for one of our games? I feel like this location is decently located since it seems like most of yall live far west side or northwest/helotes area. Edited August 19, 20241 yr by BurntOrange&White

August 19, 20241 yr I'm dezavala and 10. Any of the 3 would work for me. Unless it's Babcock for a night gamr. I don't own a bullet proof vest
September 7, 20241 yr Not quite SA, but drove out to Garner today. Stopped at Dziuks on the way back. First time for me getting the Parisa. If you haven’t tried it before you gotta get out there.

If you haven’t tried it before you gotta get out there. Tried the parisa and Dziuk's last year before seeing Charlie Robison in Bandera. It was an eye opening experience, and tbh I'm still not sure how much I really do or do not like it, but I've been craving it. I actually made my own batch a couple of weeks after trying it, and it was just "okay."

September 11, 20241 yr Speaking of San Antonio and meats etc. Tri county meat market is pretty awesome. They get their steaks from Bolners. Not cheap but damn good quality. Their freezers have all kinds of great stuff from purveyors all over South Texas.

Last time I went to the Frio I stopped and got some from Dziuks and then stopped in Hondo at Alvarez. I like them both. Edited September 13, 20241 yr by Chico_SA

September 21, 20241 yr Mom and her family are from Hondo. We celebrated the life of one of my cousins today, so my brothers and I swung by Alvarez, which is about a block from where my mom grew up. Was going to save this for the game tomorrow, but had to have a taste. Really, really, good. I like Dzuiks. If you like Parisa, try the stuff at Alvarez as well.

September 22, 20241 yr On Wednesday, September 18, San Antonio's Historic and Design Review Commission held a regular meeting to discuss the approvals of multiple agenda items, including a request to construct a Terry Black's Barbecue location at 2102 Broadway, near the city's developing Pearl area.

Before you mentioned them, I was going to say they have better Parisa than Dzuiks, and they are in San Antonio. I would put Tri-County, then Country Mart in D'Hanis, then Alvarez, then Dzuiks. Silver Creek in Hondo has some but can't remember if I've had theirs. I do like that place though.
October 3, 20241 yr Essentials for a family with young kids making their first trip (the kids, not the parents) to San Antonio? We're gonna do all the usual touristy shit - Alamo, River Walk, boat ride, Fiesta Texas etc. Staying on the River Walk for the full effect. What's the best eats on the river?

The riverwalk is cool to walk around at night but that’s kind of it.
