February 29, 20205 yr Sitting in the SA airport, about to fly north.We hit Smoke BBQ restaurant Wednesday night, as it was the only place open by the time we got around. Food was meh. We hit a local bar on the walk back. Full of locals doing karaoke. Groovy place. Whataburger is as good as ever. Not sure what a better fast food hamburger would taste like. Bonus points for using authentic styrofoam cups. Whataburger ice > Sonic Ice. Don't @ me. Rosario's still rocks. The sopapias were crispier than they do in Amarillo, nttawwt. We did not make it to 2M Smokehouse, as we've been busy every noon. A friend DID make it, and he says it's fabulous. Commodity Classic is back in SA next year. Same time, same place, same past yankees.

Anybody else been there? Several people have mentioned the place and I hear it is supposed to be good. I don't make it out to that area very often but will give it a try next time.
March 1, 20205 yr Boy had a baseball game in SA today. Grabbed lunch after at Taquitos West Avenue.Tripas, barbacoa, lengua, and because it’s the weekend, al pastor. Two of each. Glorious. Sorry, Austin. You’ve got some decent tacos, but come on. This is where it’s at.

The owner is a cool guy too, he works there every Saturday and calls me “Machacado Man” because I always order the machacado plate. Apparently the owner used to be business partners with the guy that now owns Pepe’s Tacos n salsa on Jones Maltsberger. They had a big disagreement, and Pepe left and started a new restaurant called “Pepe’s Tacos n Salsa” specifically to fuck with the Tacos N Salsa owner. The menus only have minor differences.

I can say that place gives the top RGV places a run for their money.

March 2, 20205 yr Alamo Cafe? I wouldn’t go there for their Mexican food, but I always loved their CFS when I was a kid. Their salsa was pretty good too.
March 2, 20205 yr Ate at Mixtli on Friday. World class interior Mexican dining experience. The restaurant only seats 12 and only offers the tasting menu. Rotating menu every season. We'll absolutely be back.

March 2, 20205 yr I used to go there pretty often and the CFS was pretty good. It's been at least 25 years since I was there though.

March 4, 20205 yr Longhorn Cafe serves up a mighty fine CFSAgree.My other spot for CFS is Josephine St. Had it this evening.
March 5, 20205 yr Staying up north off of 1604 near 281 for a couple of nights...appreciate any restaurant recommendations in that area, kid friendly unfortunately. Tex Mex recs, whatever..hell, I'd be fine with a good beer restaurant/tap room with food. I think Freetail is out that way...
March 5, 20205 yr Aldaco’s on Stone Oak Parkway has great puffy tacos and good drinks. They have a great porch with a big lawn for kids to play on while you can sit and drink and take in the nice view.

It has a nice patio and playground by SA standards and it's right by you.
March 5, 20205 yr Appreciate the recs fellas...I remember La Fonda but I thought it was more downtown, could be wrong though.

Big’z Burger Joint is about midway between 1604 and I-10 (about 10 minutes west of 1604/281), but they have great burgers and a big lawn area for the kids to run around. FYI, Freetail is a bit further west of Big’z on 1604 and is solid as well.

March 6, 20205 yr For breakfast stop at the Las Palapas at 1604 and 281. The kids will love their huge pancakes and you and the Mrs can get breakfast tacos or huevos rancheros....and a Bloody Mary.
March 6, 20205 yr There’s a great Mexican breakfast/lunch spot on Stone Oak Pkwy called Vida Mia. The chicken mole chilaquiles are unreal.

I like Jerusalem Grill and my kids will shit a brick when they plop down one of those massive saddle blanket lavash 30 seconds after we sit down. There is nothing else particularly kid-friendly about it aside from the massive carb hit they get. Blanco BBQ has average food but a playground outside. Longhorn Cafe for a solid burger, CFS sandwich, tots and rings.

March 6, 20205 yr Cancelled trip to SA over Spring break. Fair or unfair, SA has gotten the reputation as the yucky Texas Coronavirus city recently
