Restaurants & Food in San Antonio
"Nestled in the North Salado Village, Sichuan Garden is an ideal restaurant to dine in a relaxed environment. Lauded for its scrumptious Chinese dishes, Sichuan Garden is one of the most recommended places to eat Asian food. Try the Chengdu-inspired dumplings which come with a much bigger size than regular ones and pair them with a variety of mouthwatering sauces."

"Dedicated in 1755, Mission Concepción appears very much as it did over two centuries ago. It stands proudly as the oldest unrestored stone church in America. Mission Concepción still retains its twin bell towers, arched hallways and several fresco paintings and is an excellent example of Spanish Colonial architecture."
"There are four more missions, Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada, located just south of the San Antonio city center. These four missions make up the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015."
"Mission San José is a historic Catholic mission founded in 1720 because Mission San Antonio de Valero, today called The Alamo, had become overcrowded. Permission was granted to build a new mission 5 miles (8 km) south of San Antonio de Valero to serve the Coahuiltecan Indians. The first buildings, made of brush, straw, and mud, were quickly replaced by large stone structures, including guest rooms, offices, a dining room, and a pantry."
"One of the oldest historic churches in San Antonio, San Jose, is the best opportunity for the visitors to see what a mission looked like in the past Spanish Colonial period. Almost all the defensive walls are now restored and intact. The site is also popularly referred to as the Queen of the Missions."
"I think of Mission San Jose as "the big Mission" as it is pretty large and seems to be the most popular. It has a wonderful entryway that is just amazingly beautiful. This is also known as "the Queen of the Missions" since it was largest and strategically important to the missionaries at the time."
"There are many historic places in San Antonio, one of them being the Spanish Governor’s Palace. It was built in the early 18th century and is the last standing remnants of the Presidio San Antonio de Béjar. This aristocratic Spanish Colonial in-town residence in Texas has perfectly furnished rooms and beautifully landscaped gardens."
"This is a historic building downtown built of adobe in the 18th century Spanish colonial style. I must admit I have never been inside, but I do like the look of the entry quite a bit!"
"The free New Braunfels Railroad Museum is a perfect pit stop for families, couples, and groups looking for a taste of local history and a short break from the water. After a lunchtime pesto grilled chicken sandwich at Huisache Grill and a wild ale at New Braunfels Brewing Company, take a short stroll to the New Braunfels Railroad Museum. Observe their intricate model train set, board the retired 0-6-0T Porter locomotive, and learn about the history of these busy Union Pacific railroad tracks, which still see over 30 trains roll through per day."
"The New Braunfels Railroad Museum is a delightful location that is perfect for locomotive aficionados. If you’re looking for places to go that’ll give you insight into Texas’ railroad history, then well, you’re in the right place!. It is made up of a former depot building that has been restored."
"WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE A TRAIN BUFF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE THE RAILROAD MUSEUM. MY GRANDKIDS LOVED IT (AGES 2-GIRL AND 6 BOY). ALL KINDS OF MODEL TRAINS AND YOU CAN TOUR AN ENGINE, DINING CA..."
"Tacos and Chelas is relatively new to the San Antonio food scene, but once we tasted what they have to offer, we knew we had to include them. Not only do they tackle traditional street tacos in an incredible way, but they also put a modern and much-needed spin on traditional Tex-Mex with their asada fries and creamy shrimp tacos. These two menu items have flavors that are recognizable, but deliveries that are inventive and a fun break from the ordinary, even though the “ordinary” in this town is amazing."
"Call 210-535-7340 to order tacos for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Other featured items include mini gorditas, chips and salsa and divorciados."
