The Alamo City’s food scene changed a lot this year. Though there were some closings, 2019 marked a year of a lot of new restaurants, bars, coffee shops and even some breweries. By no means is this a definitive list, but here’s a look at new players in SA’s food and drink scene.
Con Huevos
1629 E Houston St, (210) 229-9295, instagram.com/conhuevostacos
Con Huevos’ small but impressive menu is filled with affordable plates including molletes, chilaquiles and the Con Huevos Tacos Bag Special — a choice of two breakfast tacos, sopa and a drink — for $5. Drinks include coffee, homemade aguas frescas and sodas, and locals can sit and eat or take their food and beverages to go.

The flaky, buttery biscuits are reason enough to visit, but its panaderia gives customers a reason to stay. While the kitchen prepares your order, stop by the pan dulce counter for housemade conchas, Mexican wedding cookies and some truly impressive empanadas.
