🍖🌵 San Antonio Delicious Food Finds 🥩⭐️

1️⃣ Iron Cactus Walked in around 8:30 PM on our first day — personally think it was the best meal of the trip! 😋 ✨ Ordered: Seafood paella 🥘 / Lobster tacos / Angus steak The complimentary chips came with freshly made dips — one meat sauce, one spicy salsa — warm and so appetizing! 🔥 The paella had a distinct Southwest twist with a strong tomato base (tomato lovers, rejoice! 🍅), and it was loaded with seafood. The lobster tacos were the best I’ve ever had — even better than ones I tried in Puerto Rico! Creamy cheese and savory sauce over tender lobster made it unforgettable 🦞❤️. 2️⃣ Boudro's Highly recommended on social media — reservations are a must! We ordered: Blackened Prime Ribs / Quail / Coconut Shrimp. Overall, great ambiance and good flavors 🍽️✨. The quail was slightly charred but still juicy, with tasty sides. The prime ribs were huge and rich with butter — though the potatoes were a bit hard and bland. The coconut shrimp was a letdown — overly greasy, with an odd sweet-salty clash 🍤❌. Service and vibe, though, were excellent! 3️⃣ La Panadería A popular Mexican-style brunch spot — even on weekdays there was a line! Waited about 20 minutes arriving at noon. Ordered: Eggs Benedict and Al Pastor Sandwich. The eggs Benedict was huge with two perfectly runny eggs, crispy chicken, and savory-spicy sauce on toasted bread — so satisfying! The Al Pastor sandwich had grilled pork loin and roasted pineapple — kind of like a Mexican-style roujiamo (meat bun) 🌮🥪. 4️⃣ Tokyo Cowboy A fusion spot recommended by our hotel front desk — reservations needed. Felt more like a whiskey bar 🥃😅. Only two dishes stood out: Krab & Crab Roll and Shrimp Noodles — both had rich, layered flavors. The dumplings and fried chicken bites were okay but felt more like bar snacks. #Texas #SanAntonio #WhatToEatToday #RestaurantRecommendations #MemorableMeals #HiddenGemEats
