San Antonio, Texas: The City That Feeds Your Tex-Mex Addiction

San Antonio, Texas is the second most populous city in the great state of Texas (because everything is bigger in Texas, except for their silver medal in population). While it might not have the same name recognition as Dallas or Houston, San Antonio has something those cities don’t: The Alamo.

The Alamo is a symbol of Texas’ fight for independence from Mexico, and is a must-see for anyone visiting San Antonio. But be warned, the line to visit The Alamo is longer than the battle that happened there.

One thing San Antonio is famous for is its Tex-Mex cuisine. Don’t be fooled by imposter tacos from places like Taco Bell, San Antonio’s tacos are the real deal. They’re so good, you’ll forget about the fact that you’re willingly consuming a food item named after a bodily sound.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try the puffy taco. It’s like a regular taco, but with a fried shell that’s puffed up and crispy. It’s so delicious, I’m drooling on my keyboard just thinking about it.

Another must-see attraction in San Antonio is the River Walk. It’s like Venice, but with less singing gondoliers and more people trying to avoid falling in the water after consuming too many margaritas at one of the many riverside bars.

San Antonio is also home to The Spurs, one of the most successful NBA teams in history. If you’re a basketball fan, definitely check them out, but try not to get too excited and start chanting “GO SPURS GO” at inappropriate times like during a presentation at work or at your friend’s wedding.

If you’re looking for a place to cool off in the Texas heat, San Antonio has got you covered with SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Nothing says “refreshing” like watching a whale splash around while trying to forget that you just spent $15 on a bottle of water.

In conclusion, if you ever find yourself in San Antonio, take some time to enjoy the food, the history, and the margaritas. Just be prepared for the occasional Texan who’s a little too proud of their state (but let’s be honest, can you blame them? They have puffy tacos.)
