Seafood spot Aguazul’s sprawling menu casts too wide a net (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aguazul, a new and overtly Insta-ready restaurant on Loop 410, presents coastal Mexican seafood as its focus, with an emphasis on the states of Sinaloa and Nayarit. To me, this meant I could ignore its superfluous — or at least too tangential — menu categories such as burgers, pasta, pizza, enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas and sushi. Selective elimination made my job as a reviewer much easier, but the remainder was still daunting. The menu includes platters, torres and aguachiles along with cevi
Noodle Nirvana: San Antonio’s Kaedama Battleship serves ramen worth slowing down for (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The only overtly decorative element in the otherwise taut, tailored and blond wood-wrapped interior of San Antonio ramen spot Kaedama Battleship is a poster for the 1985 film Tampopo. Often referred to as a “noodle western” for its almost mythic ride-in-on-a-white-horse aspects and as an avatar of “food porn,” the charming Japanese comedy depicts, among other scenes both nostalgic and erotic, an old master trying to educate an impatient young acolyte in the proper etiquette of ramen appreciation
Elevated Expectations: At Aleteo, the view is spectacular, but the Yucatán is harder to find (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The display of automotive pulchritude outside downtown San Antonio’s newly opened Monarch Hotel can be impressive. On a recent visit, I hazarded a guess that at least some of the occupants of the Porsches, Maseratis and even a Rolls-Royce were headed to Oak & Amber, the hotel’s flagship street-level venue featuring an open hearth and a “robust steak menu” along with caviar. However, my dining guests and I were headed for the 17th floor and Aleteo — more of an intermediate, Audi kinda place with
Con Huevos is more than an Instagram breakfast darling. Its tortillas live up to the hype. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have ever missed out on a meme — say the odd-couple mashup of blockbuster films Barbie and Oppenheimer into Barbenheimer — you’ll know how I feel about finally making it to Con Huevos Tacos. What’s all the fuss about? I wondered. The colorful restaurant on East Houston Street has already been written about, photographed or captured on video by anyone interested in San Antonio’s food scene. Driving by you can’t miss the vibrant blue paint job, but the minuscule east-of-downtown building do
The Rise of River North: Watching a block find its flavor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to get the summer travel blues. The dollar is dropping against foreign currencies, airline tickets are soaring, crowds in some European destinations have brought foot and vehicle traffic to a virtual standstill. In others, special fees, visitor limits and even water pistols are used to discourage tourism. Which explains the popularity of the micro-vacation. Here’s how it goes: pick a local destination with a variety of options including eating, drinking, shopping and, ideally, cultural
