☕ @cafecito.sabroso
Hola! My name is Erin Franco Otto. My love of coffee started early when I would sneak sips of my grandmother's Café con Leche. This turned into a desire to showcase small businesses in our community serving up delicious coffee.
My favorite spot for a coffee... well, I have too many to be able to narrow it down. But one of my all-time favorite drinks is the Mexican vanilla latte from Mila. Classic and delicious, it is my litmus test for all vanilla lattes. Another favorite of mine is Early Bird. Pro tip: Add their tiramisu cold foam to your latte. It is delicious and you will not want to drink another coffee without it.

🍹 @la_aventurera_
Hey, ya’ll! My name is Stephanie, and I run a page that is all about finding the best new spots to eat + drink in San Antonio.
One of my favorite places to have a cocktail is The Bar at Mixtli, an agave-focused bar in the heart of Southtown. Their menu changes seasonally, and there’s something for every palate.
🍷 @sippinprettysa Hi friends I’m Ileanna, and I run an insta dedicated to all things booze in SA and beyond. I’m a San Antonio native and absolutely love exploring our city.
I originally started this account because I loved taking pictures of my drinks (classic millennial), but then I realized that it could be a great way to share all of the fun spots that San Antonio has to offer. If I had to choose just one spot to visit for a cocktail, it would be The Backroom Bar at Queso, Pan, y Vino. Overall, I think they have the best ambiance, food, and service.
Pro tip: order the Paloma, you won’t be disappointed 🤗

We can’t get over Editor Ivan’s thrill-seeking adventure yesterday. He had the opportunity to ride the newest roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas — Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger.
This record-breaking coaster reaches speeds of up to 60 mph and is the steepest dive coaster in the world. Those who want to experience it for themselves can ride it beginning today with pass holders having exclusive access to select ride times.
