Coffee, chocolate cookie, cheese and crackers. Complimentary
United Club, San Antonio International Airport (SAT)
Flying is always more enjoyable when you can have free snacks before boarding. It was too early to grab a cocktail though and I wasn’t in the mood for a bloody mary.
Crisp tempura, red pepper aioli. $12
Luke, San Antonio TX
This was fun! The tempura fried shrimp had a great texture and the red pepper aioli tasted great with it.

Justin’s Ice Cream Company, San Antonio TX
How can you go wrong with boozy ice cream – noms! This tasted great and it had a great milky texture that was on the denser side.
Fresh avocado, Texas grown portabellas, flash fried, lime crema dipping sauce. $7.99
Iron Cactus, San Antonio TX
These were surprisingly bland! And they were SO heavy that you could only eat a couple before feeling gross and disgusting. Not my favorite…
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Brandy creme anglaise, bacon jam. 3 course tasting menu (earlybird) $35
Restaurant Gwendolyn, San Antonio TX
This cake was pretty darn tasty and the bacon jam was a surprisingly wonderful addition. The cake wasn’t too sweet which was perfect, and the vanilla ice cream just brought everything together.

Luke, San Antonio TX
These pretty good. Not the best or freshest, but definitely good for 75 cents during happy hour. The staff was super friendly and professional.

This was a hot mess! It was just a bunch of crap thrown together on a big fried chicharron and they really didn’t taste good together. #fail

Mi Tierra Cafe, San Antonio TX
I loved this place. This line was crazy, but I didn’t have to wait ridiculously long. The food was great as was the service so it made up for the wait. I love the atmosphere and everyone just seemed happy to be there. Yay!

This was packed with flavor and the pork was very tender and delicious. I also liked the cilantro rice and black beans.

Acenar hand shaken margarita: El Jimador Reposado tequila, Gran Gala, Patron Citronage, fresh lime juice, and house made simple syrup. $10
Margarita and salted caramel. $2.25
Bakery Lorraine, San Antonio TX
The macarons were pretty, but inconsistently baked. The filling of the margarita macaron was too sugary sweet and you could feel the granulated sugar. The filling of the salted caramel tasted and felt like plain old whipped butter. Gross! The girl serving the pastries was also rude. This place failed all around and had absolutely no finesse with their food!
