Burrito Warning! And Other Food/Drink Info
January 18th, 2006 by Rochelle HartmanI’ve been active on the message boards for Robert Earl Keen, a wonderful Texas singer/songwriter, getting some insider tips for San Antonio, since many hardcore REK fans are from the area. The key piece of information I’ve gotten is that burritos are a gringo invention and that if :
- you are in a restaurant with burritos on the menu, you’re not in an authentic joint;
- you are in an authentic restaurant and ask for a burrito, you might see a quick eye-roll from your server
I’ve also heard that Rosario’s, a five-minute cab ride from the RiverWalk, is The Place to go for authentic Mexican/TexMex food. Someone else recommended the Blanco Cafe and said the tacos there “will ruin you on eating tacos anywhere else.”
For lounge kitsch, head to Martini’s Fri/Sat after 9:30.
And for an authentic Texas dance hall experience, it’s JT Floore’s Country Store out in Helotes. I was hoping to catch Robert Earl Keen while I was in town, but it’s not to be. Los Lobos, however, will be doing an acoustic set at Floore’s Friday night at 10:30. (tix are $25-30 and likely to sell out).
By the way…Robert Earl thinks that reading is Keen.
