Taqueria Data Point | San Antonio, Texas

November 14, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

On Friday night, Katrina and I went to

2011-11-11 19.01.04

Taqueria Data Point
4063 Medical Dr.
San Antonio, TX 78229
(210) 615-3644

As you can see in that picture, they open until very late. They actually just expanded because there were so many customers coming in and their place was so dinky small.

I remember going here my freshman year but then never being able to find it until recently.

Chips & Salsa | free

Right when you sit down, the put it down on your table. Beware though. The salsa is muy caliente! (Is that the same word for spicy?) Their chips are very, very crispy and delicious.

Barbacoa To-Go [with 8 tortillas] | $9.99/lb

Pico de Gallo | $1.00

You get to chose if you want flour or corn tortillas. I went for the corn. If you’ve ever had barbacoa, and tried Data Point, you will know they have the best. It is very juicy and succulent. I had so much leftover as well.

It was so delicious, I went with Tammy and Jenny last night. They LOVE it and had a lot of leftovers as well.

Come here if you’re ever in San Antonio.

Though it looks very run down, it’s the best I’ve had in San Antonio. Their service is not very amazing because I always have to raise my hand to get a refill of anything.

Plus this time I ordered corn tortillas as usual and they ran out and only gave me three and hid flour tortillas underneath and didn’t even tell me. That = bad service. I actually forgot to give a tip as well … whoops.

Thai Topaz | San Antonio, Texas

A few weeks ago, Jenny and I went to

Thai Topaz
9386 Huebner Road, Ste 101
San Antonio, TX
(210) 690-6000

Pad Thai [stir-fried rice noodles, eggs and bean sprouts in special sauce topped with peanuts, bean sprouts and cilantro] | $8.75

Depending on if you want tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, the prices vary.

I got the chicken for $8.75. It has been voted “best” pad-thai in San Antonio. In my opinion though it’s very delicious, I don’t find it the best if compared to a Thai place in Houston.

But a few days later a Groupon showed up for Thai Topaz. $8 for $16 worth of food.

I so totally bought it!

Then Tammy came down so we used it and I got tofu instead of chicken and loved it. I guess it was an off day for me the first time.

Overall, great place. The lady there is nice. If you’re not in a rush, this is a great place for Thai food.

You can also call in and order and then go and pick it up. Winking smile

Freddy’s Frozen Custard | San Antonio, Texas

October 1, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I had NO food last night. So Jenny, Tammy, and I went out.

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
4059 North Loop 1604 West
San Antonio, TX 78257
www.freddysfrozencustard.com

We had coupons … that was the only reason we tried this place.

           IMG_5434IMG_5435

I got the #1 combo meal which is a steakburger with fries. And made it large so I can have just a bit more sweet tea in my tummy. I’m not a big fan of the fries. They weren’t very potato-y.

IMG_5436

From using my coupon, it was buy a combo, get another steakburger but for free. Fatness at the best level.

IMG_5437

Jenny and Tammy chowing down on their foods. They shared a coupon. It was buy a combo meal, get one free.

IMG_5438

They also used a coupon of chili cheese fries for $1.99.

I tried it and other than the fries being different, it tastes like Sonic’s Chili and Cheese.

We’re glad we went here. Thank you coupons! It was delicious. I think everyone should go, go go. They have locations in Austin and Dallas as well!!

Then we went home and watched some One Tree Hill. Jenny’s finally on Season 4. Where fake Derek comes back on Prom night. Amazing!

Unexpected Fun

September 18, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Jenny and I rarely get the chance to hang out. Yeah we do study together and maybe watch the occasional One Tree Hill episodes together. But going out and doing dinner and just straight chilling? Rarely.

So to my surprise, Jenny was craving steak and wanted to go out for it. Therefore we decided on Logan’s Steakhouse then drinks afterward at Flying Saucer.

IMG_5380

But since we realized it was Happy Hour at Logan’s we each got a beer. I got BudLight and she got MillerLight (I think). Double fisting both our beers for pictures.

Can I just finally say, I think I’m warming up to my red streak. It really shows up on pictures and in a way makes me feel pretty? Is that weird?

IMG_5381

Our table of yumminess. Jenny and I somehow ordered the exact same thing without knowing.

Our free bread. A mug of beer for each of us. And a plate of rib-eye, sautéed mushrooms, and a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. I could have done without the butter.

I finished everything but my steak. Jenny finished her steak and beer only. That’s how great this meal is.

IMG_5384

I ordered these little shot-like desserts to share with Jenny. Brownie with ice cream, some kind of Nutter-Butter dessert, and Strawberry Cheesecake.

It was 3 for $5 so we decided to try them all. Oh did I mention you get to keep the buckets? Sahweet!

Jenny and I’s favorite? The Nutter-Butter! Definitely ordering ONLY that flavor next time.

We weren’t ready to go home yet so we decided to go to the Dollar Theater. Sadly, they weren’t selling anymore tickets since it was already 11pm and were already on their last showings.

Which resulted in Jenny texting her friend and asking her if she was still going out drinking.

IMG_5392

Jenny and I met her friend at Sparky’s Pub. It’s a gay bar so Jenny and I were out of place and felt out of place. Her friend as well. She was there for her friend’s birthday who is a lesbian.

We didn’t know what to do so we took pictures.

IMG_5387

Just fyi, that’s Jenny’s beer.

Afterward, I texted my friend to see what he was up to. We headed over to where he was. A place called Rush. It used to be called Posh but they fixed it up and changed its name. It’s the first time I’ve been there since they changed and I must say, it’s for the better.

I got to see people I rarely see and it just felt like everything was right in the world.

I would put up pictures of my friends other than Jenny but I don’t know how they’ll feel about it. Especially because they don’t know about this blog.

We got home around 3am and watched an episode of One Tree Hill. I woke up at 9am and fell back asleep. By the time I woke up again, I realized I was 10 minutes late for football practice with FSA. Whoops. So I hauled ass and had a great 2ish hours of practice.

It was a great night that I had. It was great to just go out and put off studying. Which was a bad idea seeing how I have a test on Tuesday. Eeep!

Wish me luck as I study my ass off!

Yard House | San Antonio, Texas

June 14, 2011 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

It’s very rare that I find people that speak my native tongue so I was excited when Nancy, Elaine, Henry, and I decided to hangout on May 4th at Yard House. It was happy hour time so everything on their Happy Hour menu was 1/2 off!!

Yard House | San Antonio, Texas | Spicy Tuna Roll

Spicy Tuna Roll [seared rare ahi, avocado, edamame, cucumber with wasabi soy sauce] | ~$6

If you’ve never had their Spicy Tuna Roll, you’re missing out! The name can be misleading because I bet you’d imagine it was wrapped in seaweed. They’d be better off calling it a Spicy Tuna Tower with the way they stack it. I’m drooling just thinking about it!

Yard House | San Antonio, Texas | Classic Sliders

Classic Sliders | ~ $5

I always heard sliders are extra fattening (delicious) than a regular burgers but I didn’t care since we were nearing the end of the school year. It was surprising that I as a fry lover wasn’t a big fan of them but as a bread hater I really liked the buns.

If they served the sliders with a side of spicy tuna roll, I think I’d be most happy. As happy as being able to spend time with lovely people.
