Night in Old San Antonio
Let me just start by saying that San Anto people love to drink. Rarely do they need a reason but if there is a festival or celebration of any kind, you better believe that alcohol will be involved. I think that’s why events like Night in Old San Antonio (aka NIOSA) are so successful. We got there around 7pm and it was already packed with people sipping on $4 plastic cups of Miller Light. We...
The restaurant that I work at has art exhibitions that rotate every six weeks. It’s cool because the art really changes the atmosphere of the restaurant.

The evening darkness brought us inside, where we enjoyed freeze pops and ice cream sandwiches. I’ve made...
el puffy taco.
Over the weekend I was informed that outside of Texas, the puffy taco is “totally in”. Here in San Antonio, the puffy taco has always been in; it’s just that I had never ordered it.
