San Antonio’s beloved Rios Southtown Barbacoa has has outgrown the building it’s called home since 2019. But fans of slow-roasted meat shouldn’t fret: the eatery isn’t venturing far from its longtime digs at 317 Probandt St.

Owner Lenny Ann Rios-Chavez told news site MySA the restaurant will jump to a space at the corner of South Flores and Bank streets sometime next month. The new location, 2316 South Flores St., will be able to accommodate more sit-down diners, she added.

The new spot also will feature a collaboration with Alley Cat Coffee, which currently parks its mobile java operation in front of the Probandt shop. Rios-Chavez didn’t elaborate on what that new partnership will look like, however.

Rios-Chavez’s homegrown mini-chain operates four area locations, and it’s been voted Best Barbacoa in San Antonio by Current readers three times since 2019. The Southtown shop operates from 7:30 a.m. until sellout Saturday and Sunday.
