Exciting New Dining Options Coming to San Antonio!
San Antonio is about to get a whole lot tastier! Hummus Republic, a popular Mediterranean chain, is opening its first location in Texas right in our very own backyard.

But that’s not all, folks! The culinary scene in San Antonio is really heating up. Alongside Hummus Republic, there are several other trendy dining concepts sprouting up in the city. One of the most anticipated spots is Otto’s Ice House, set to open on April 15 in Pearl. This exciting new venture from a James Beard Award-nominated chef promises to deliver cold beers paired with classic Texas fare. Think street tacos, bratwurst, and even a good old-fashioned Frito pie. It’s a great place to grab a drink and fill up on delicious bites, perfect for both lunch and dinner.
More Lunch Options Are Here!
For those on the hunt for quick and tasty lunches, Bowls N Go has just opened up at Make Ready Market, expanding from its original location in Alamo Ranch. Offering customizable curry bowls and falafel wraps, it’s like a make-your-own feast that also features delightful Mediterranean desserts such as baklava and kazandibi, a flan-like treat that is simply irresistible.
Popcorn Lovers Rejoice!
Popcorn fans have something to be excited about, too! Alamo City Popcorn is on the way, planning to fill 630 NW Loop 410 with its amazing collection of 55 popcorn flavors. Reliable sources say construction is expected to wrap up by early June, so mark those calendars and get ready to pop some corn!
