Had excellent cocktails and snacks at The Esquire Tavern with Jeret, Javi and Rob (fried beets, potato tacos, house made chips, deviled eggs, along with too many unnamed and just-made-up cocktails to count)
Had a delicious lunch at Rosario’s – thank you, Lexie! (ceviche that tasted like my dad’s, pozole with plenty of oregano, and the lengua plate – simmered beef tongue with beans, rice and tortillas)
Had snacks at Ocho Lounge (fruta mixta and chorizo queso)
Took naps, danced around the room, sat on the patio
Walked through the Riverwalk, then a bit south to have snacks at The Monterey (pork egg rolls; roasted cauliflower with shaved beef cheek, goat cheese and grapes; rice bowl with kimchi, pickled vegetables, poached egg, nori, and pork belly)
Drank cava on the patio til the wee hours of the morning
Had breakfast at Ocho Lounge (banana nut bread smothered in peanut butter, bananas and honey; broiled grapefruit with mezcal and sugar; chorizo and eggs with plantains and beans)
Checked out the Pearl Brewery area, and found a lovely pink scarf for me
Drove to the Hill Country to spend some time with Justin’s folks
All in all, a lovely and much-needed getaway weekend. 🙂
Loved my stays there! Hope you checked at the Havana Bar downstairs! Oddly sexy (Twin Peaks-ish?), just like their elevator! Looking forward to checking out their Ocho.
You had me at banana bread smothered in peanut butter and bananas. I will be making my way to Ocho Lounge very soon! I am glad you enjoyed your time in San Antonio:)
It was so so so good! That banana bread/pb was actually one of my favorite dishes of the whole trip. I’m now planning on baking banana bread weekly to eat just like this. 🙂
And thanks so much for your recommendations! They worked out perfectly.
Great photos.
Gracias!

We did! It was such a dark and sexy spot! (I’m officially in love with red candle jars now, too.)

That sounds wonderful. Now I think
I may need a getaway.
Do it! We planned it the night before and just drove away. It was lovely. 🙂
