This is the food we loved as kids (and secretly love as adults) at Deco Pizzeria, Original Donut Shop, Panadería Jiménez, Elotitos and El Paraiso.
The Original Donut Shop on Fredericksburg Road is both a Mexican cafe and a doughnut shop. We're visiting Fredericksburg Road through the Deco District for this week's edition of Eat the Street, a series exploring the streets that feed San Antonio's restaurant scene and five restaurants on that street that help shape the character of their neighborhoods.For the Jiménez brothers in 2018, San Antonio was a panadería waiting to happen.
“It gives it a different type of vibe,” Frank Jiménez said.
Infrastructure and education aren't as sexy as pizza and wings, but Deco Pizzeria and owner Jacob Valenzuela have been part of both conversations since the restaurant opened in 2011, preserving the old Texaco’s mission-style arches and art deco tower. Today, it’s that place on Fredericksburg with the flamingos out front, the place with frozen margaritas, live music, year-round chicken-on-a-stick and barbacoa pizza on the weekends.
Up front, Frank Jiménez is going full bartender mode on a Mexi-Choco latte in a steel cocktail shaker, a trick to keep it cold without diluting it with too much ice in the cup. They care about the little things here: a good cup of coffee, local art on the walls, a chubby kolache with a jalapeño link from San Antonio’s own Kiolbassa sausage company.
