Pelicana Crispy Fried Wings

Honestly so good. I hate to admit that I order these wings on Uber Eats every week šŸ˜­ The crispy wings + the pickled radish = chefs kiss šŸ’‹ Such a good combo

Pressed Chicken in SATX?

Does anyone know if there's a Chinese restaurant in San Antonio that cooks a dish called "pressed chicken?"

PRESSED CHICKEN - Breast of chicken dipped in egg batter, fried until golden brown, topped with mixed Chinese vegetables, gravy, and topped with crushed peanuts and green onion.

Also seen it as Hong Sue Chicken. Iā€™m not that well-traveled but if Iā€™ve been somewhere in the US, Iā€™ve probably had Chinese food there. I love this dish. In the western Kentucky town of Paducah, a restaurant called Chongā€™s lists this ā€œpressed chicken.ā€ Thatā€™s where I fell in love with it. New Star restaurant on North Avenue in Elmwood Park, IL has it listed as Hong Sue. I couldnā€™t find it Chinatown Chicago, but I have a favorite there and rarely deviate from it.

Hey guys, I'm visiting pretty soon and am crazy excited to check out the Tex Mex scene. A couple of questions if you could indulge me!

  1. Know any solid and budget friendly vegan or vegetarian Tex Mex restaurants? Any specific dishes that I would kick myself for not trying?
  2. Any places where I can find the following: zapote nƩgro, huitlacoche, chapaya, Pacaya, pulque, canistel, Prickly Pear ice cream/nieve de tuna, tejate, Chamango, raicilla, olosapo, monstera deliciosa, mole blanco

Thank you!! It's a UNESCO Food City and I'm really looking forward to checking it out.

Dairy Allergy Friendly Restaurants?

Hi yā€™all! Iā€™m up to my eyebrows in stress about finding a dairy allergy friendly restaurant in town. We are visiting from Lockhart, which doesnā€™t have many restaurants outside of BBQ, so Iā€™m not sure where to look. Most places donā€™t have allergen menuā€™s available online, so Iā€™m asking for your wisdom!

My daughter has developed a dairy allergy resulting in full body hives, so we are trying to find somewhere we can go that she can have a meal also. We know Freebirds and Chuyā€™s is safe, but lately Chuyā€™s has been too ā€œspicyā€ for her little taste buds. She isnā€™t too picky, she likes meat, beans, and vegetables, just canā€™t have any dairy.

Any recommendations on restaurants that are more dairy allergy friendly, outside of BBQ, would be amazing! Thank you! šŸ™šŸ»

In town for a few days. Looking for food recommendations.

I'll be in town for a few days in the near future and am looking for some really good food. I'm from out of state, so I really want a good example of San Antonio food. Especially BBQ as I've always heard about TX BBQ being great. I'll be staying near the river walk, but am willing to drive a good bit if it's worth it.

Scisciano Italia

Saw during errands earlier this week that Scisciano Italia just opened in the plaza near us (Thousand Oaks/Nacogdoches) and we decided to order our Sunday pizza there. The pizza was actually really good, it is the closest Iā€™ve had to NY pizza in a decade ā€” but this place was super cute. Definitely date worthy. I took a copy of the menu and itā€™s massive. Itā€™s worth checking out if youā€™re around it

Any Tiny Custom Cakes in San Antonio??

Earth Burger Nacogdoches Closed?

Just drove by and the shades were down and the lot empty. Is this recent? I only go every few months but I dont think itā€™s been that long since Iā€™ve been there.

Edit. Does anyone know if the location was sold or are they opening up something new here.

Recommendations for local owned around Alamo Ranch

Hey Fellow Foodies! My weekend schedule is taking me to the Alamo Ranch exit around 10am-1pm for the near future.

Iā€™d like to grab a local owned bite to eat. Iā€™m open to most types of cuisines but would appreciate a cup of coffee that doesnā€™t break the bank.

Doing my best to support a decent small business owner!

Mom and pop place around 1604

Looking for something different in the 1604 area - donā€™t want to break the bank. Any cuisine is welcome but rather spend my $ in a small mom and pop kind of place than another chain

Holiday Party in SA, 50 people, family friendly

Hello! Iā€™m trying to get some suggestions for our work holiday party. Im looking for a place that accommodates 50-60 people including small kid (maybe a play ground) and available food/drinks individual buy themselves. For the past two years weā€™ve had it at a beer garden and it went very well the first year. The kids got to play on the playground and we played our holidays games. It wasnā€™t a private area or anything just a first come first serve to grab a picnic table and food was just pizzas at a food truck. Everyone loved it. But the second year, it rained and the place did not have a room big enough for us so it was a little crowded and not really kid friendly as it was mainly a bar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

26th dinner recommendations

Hey yall! Iā€™m turning 26 in September and Iā€™m looking for recommendations on where would be a good place to have a dinner for a party of around 7-10 people. My favorite types of food are Italian, Mexican, and your basic American food (steaks, chicken fried chicken, etc.). Iā€™m not looking for anything super extravagant/expensive but something thatā€™s good for the price youā€™re spending. Bonus points if they do anything special for birthdays, thanks in advance
