Things To Do
McNay Art Museum
Briscoe Western Art Museum
Mission San Jose
A classic mission that ISN'T the Alamo. Biking tours of several missions can be booked ahead of time and provide for a fun, educational, and active day.
Witte Museum
Pearl District
This is a recently developed part of San Antonio with trendy restaurants and hip bars.
Historic Market Square
El Mercado is a Mexican market located in downtown San Antonio. This place is every bit the classic as the Alamo itself. If you spend a day downtown, plan to spend an hour strolling through El Mercado.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
The Shops at La Cantera
Aldaco's Mexican Cuisine
Lea and Randy's old favorite haunt.
Jacala Mexican Restaurant
Jacala has been a favorite of the family since the family ever existed. Countless birthdays, holidays, and special nights out have happened here. Don't expect anything fancy, just truly delicious tex-mex.
Chris Madrids
Google this cheeseburger before you order it. Best eaten with baby aspirin for heart health.
Alamo Cafe
This is the tex-mex version of the cheesecake factory. Over-the-top interior styled like a San Antonio mission, with great queso and margaritas.
Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia
A San Antonio favorite featured on just about every travel spot.
Torchy's Tacos
When Obama came to texas, this is where he got his tacos.
The Longhorn Cafe
Run by a local family, Lea taught the son of the owners, and Hannah stole all of her 'teacher appreciation' gift cards.
Sushi Zushi
Great sushi! Lea and Hannah recommend.
The Magnolia Pancake Haus
Truly gigantic pancakes. If you're not adventurous enough for a breakfast taco, this is the place to go. Just be ready for a wait on weekends.
2M Smokehouse
If you want good BBQ this one comes recommended by Randy C.
Blanco BBQ
Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar
Great modern American fare in a trendy space.
