Jarritos
by ATXtraveler
San Antonio is definitely the home to many Mexican Americans. You will likely see this evidenced by the number of locations around San Antonio that sell Jarritos beverages at their restaurants. Jarritos is a very popular brand of fruit flavored carbonated beverages sold in Mexico, but is just as popular in major US cities close to the border.
Jarrito is Spanish for little jug, and this beverage is a little jug of goodness. On this particular instance, Sarah enjoyed the Pina flavor (pineapple) with our Tex-Mex dinner at The Original Mexican Restaurant.
Jarritos come in the following flavors:
* Fruit Punch (tutifruti)
* Grapefruit (toronja)
* Guava (guayaba)
* Roselle (jamaica)
* Lime (limón)
* Mandarin (mandarina)
* Pineapple (piña)
* Strawberry (fresa)
* Tamarind (tamarindo)
* Mango (mango)
* Watermelon (sandía)
Bastrop State Park
by darthmilmo
Bastrop State Park. There are few forests in Texas, specially near San Antonio, so it came as a surprise to find this jewel so close to home. Just under 2 hours, this park has plenty of hike trails and lovley campsites.
tired of Tex mex yet?
by flyntfaery about Gin's
Best chinese food in town, especially for the price. Actually, this resturaunt is hard to beat for the quality and service. Not much atmosphere, but the food is so good, you won't notice. When I lived in San Antonio, everytime we would take new people to the resturaunt, they would become immidiate converts! Run by Gin and his family, they have been a San Antonio staple for the chinese community for years. Now everyone else is getting smart too! Hard to pick just one dish, but the Orange Scallops is awesome. Just a bit spicy, scallops done just perfectly...try the Fried Noodles too!

Wine Tasting
by BellaMora
I found a very eloquent wine tasting spot called WineStyles. They have several chains here in SATX. However, I really enjoy this one. The owner Mel has some type of event happening at least 3 times a week.
If you are in town over the weekend, he has an awesome Friday night wine down from 5-6ish until close. He always has a great selection of free food and wine.
There is always someone marketing their products and you get GREAT discount coupons.
