Grumpy's Mexican Café is San Antonio's best country cafe

The chicken-fried steak extended beyond the dinner plate, one edge curled up, forming a bow for the massive battered boat smothered in thick cream gravy. According to owner Kesia Jackson, Grumpy’s Mexican Café serves about 200 hand-breaded chicken-fried steaks weekly. That number doesn’t include the steak for the hand-breaded steak finger “basket,” which doesn’t actually include a basket, because the steak fingers wouldn’t fit.

Longtime residents offered recommendations, and I revisited two chains, Pappasito’s and Chuy’s, that were favorites growi…

5 things I learned during my first Fiesta - San Antonio Express-News

I’ve had a lot of firsts since relocating to San Antonio mid-October, but nothing has quite captured the spirit of the city like Fiesta. I had heard the stories and asked the questions: It’s 11 days? Schools and government offices really shut down for Battle of Flowers? You buy tickets to watch the parades? But Fiesta was something I had to experience to fully understand and embrace, and I also soon realized it was impossible for me to attend all the Fiesta events. Fiesta: Here’s what you need t…
