Flavor of the west side of San Antonio coming to East Fifth Street, at least on Mondays

From the EV Grieve inbox ... an email/release from Julie E. Farias, the executive chef at Goat Town on East Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B ...

I am quite excited to let you know that I am having M&I Mexican Mondays at Goat Town.

The M&I Mexican Monday menu will begin on the 16th of January and will be served in addition to our regular menu every Monday.

It is inspired by my Aunt Irma and Uncle Martin who have owned M&I Meat Market in the west side of San Antonio for over 20 years, along with my family’s history of owning grocery stores and meat markets since the 30’s, and all the foods I grew up with as a result of that experience.

After a trip back home to Texas, I realized that I would be proud to pay respect to my heritage, family history and the neighborhood I grew up in by creating a genuine Texas Mexican menu. The items on this menu are both common and unique in that they are specifically focused on the food I grew up with in the west side of San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.

It would be impossible to bring every single detail of this specific experience to Goat Town but I am proud to serve the best and most authentic representation of Texas Mexican food from the west side of San Antonio.

And the menu...
