Where to eat in San Antonio right now: 5 favorites for out-of-town guests

Here's where to dine with out-of-towners.

The holidays are in full swing, so we're focusing on giving out-of-town guests a true taste of San Antonio. Dining at these favorite Alamo City restaurants will undoubtedly leave a lasting holiday impression.

Bohanan's Prime Steaks and Seafood
This is Texas, and steak is king, so make sure you deliver on the smoky goodness. Perhaps the Chateaubriand steak for two will suit your table; it's served with potatoes, asparagus, and hollandaise sauce.

La Hacienda de Los Barrios
You're not a true San Antonian if you don't give out-of-towners traditional Mexican food. Plenty of space makes this traditional and beautiful restaurant a winner for all the loved ones in town. Be sure to grab a puffy taco or 20.

Las Canarias
You have to dine on that famed River Walk: All those holiday lights are magical and, paired with an amazing menu, you will win big points with the fam. Las Canarias even has a Christmas dinner menu with items like whole roasted duck and bourbon maple glazed ham.

Supper
The Historic Pearl is great for shopping and sightseeing. Let Supper be the best part of your day: Try the bronzini with peas and buttermilk couscous salad — your family will know you're a foodie then.

Two Bros BBQ Market
Barbecue is a must in the holiday rotation. Hit up Two Bros, where the pitmaster is doing everything right. The smoky tenderness of the brisket and the kick in the jalapeño poppers make this a great destination with out-of-town guests. Sweet tea never hurt anyone's feelings either.

San Antonio celebrates 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice this weekend

The theme for this year's March for Justice is “Finding True Life Through Service to Others.”

Every year, thousands of San Antonians come together to honor the legacy of civil rights leader Cesar E. Chavez with a two-mile walk through downtown on Saturday, March 25. Plans for the 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice have been released, including this year’s new theme.

The César E. Chávez Legacy and Educational Foundation (CECLEF) announced March 25 as the date for their next march, with the new theme titled “Finding True Life Through Service to Others.”

Interim District 7 Councilwoman Rosie Castro, U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro (her sons) will be the march’s Grand Marshals.

CECLEF Chair Ernest J. Martinez said in a press release that it’s inspiring for him to see how the longstanding San Antonio tradition has been well-received by the local community and continues to be embraced by the younger generation.

“This year, we are strongly encouraging our K [through] 12 and college students to march alongside our friends, family, community, civic leaders, and elected officials,” he shared. “The March has always been a time to engage in civic participation and advocate for social and economic justice for our communities.”

Another priority with this year’s march is to give recognition to the many farm workers in San Antonio, while also bringing awareness to the food disparities in the community. CECLEF encourages participants to bring canned goods to the march for their “Yes We CAN” food drive, which will be donated to the San Antonio Food Bank.

District 5 Councilwoman Terri Castillo, who is the daughter of migrant farm workers, said the march serves as a prominent commemoration of the farm workers who advocated for better working conditions.

“This march serves as a reminder that we all have a role to play to carry on the legacy of labor leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta," she said. "When we march together, we say yes to organizing for safe working conditions, a living wage, and a better future for San Antonio. ¡Sí se puede!”

The 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice will begin at 10 am on March 25 at the corner of Brazos and Guadalupe Street.
