The Shops at La Cantera - The Best spot to shop in San Antonio
Northstar Mall - Indoor mall closer to Downtown
San Marcos Outlets - Giant outlet mall 45 minutes from San Antonio.
Signature - Restaurant inside the La Cantera Resort. Must have reservations.
The Downtown riverwalk is great, but for the best food and Riverwalk experience, take a short drive to the far north end of the Riverwalk. This is the “not touristy” part of the Riverwalk. It’s called the Pearl brewery district. Tons of amazing options for food, some shopping and a really good coffee shop.
Here’s our fav places to eat at the Pearl district. You can park anywhere at the Pearl and then easily walk to any of these:
Local Founders - Great coffee spot
Down On Grayson - Simple. Good food.
Josephine Street - Zak’s favorite HOLE in the WALL. Good steak, for cheap.
La Gloria - Authentic regional Mexican street tacos…NOT Tex-Mex. AMAZING!
Brasserie Mon Chou Chou - Amazing French food. Expensive, but worth it. You will need a reservation.
Southerleigh - Texas food in a historic setting.
Bakery Lorraine - Amazing spot for soups / salads / light lunch. Also good pastries for desserts.
Mezquite - Sonoran Desert grub but in San Antonio. Seriously good.
This is our arts district. Lots of good spots:
