Alamo Street Eat Bar

I agree with Amy G.‘s review! Worst experience at a Food Park!!! My review is based solely on the employee she describes-«older guy that looks like he is a homeless, no teeth, weird mustache & is really skinny». A group of us had been doing a pub crawl and one of us brought in an outside drink. Without saying a word, he walked right up to our table and just took the drink out of the the koozie and walked away with it! Then he came back to clean the table, so I asked him about it and he said it’s against the rules and there are signs up everywhere and that we should have known. Ok maybe, but that is NOT the way you handle the situation and that is NOT the way to treat customers!

Worst experience at a Food Park… I go to the Block all the time & have never had a bad experience I guess i better stay out of South Town. First there are huge roaches running around. Second they have the rudest people working there (the person I’m referring to is a older guy that looks like he is a homeless, no teeth, weird mustache & is really skinny). I purchased hotdogs for my children before we arrived, when we got there I purchased a meal and beer. & he came up to us and accused us of hiding on a different table and said no outside food was allowed. I had told him I made a purchase there including alcohol and said I still knew the rules? I had never been there before so I didn’t know of any rules. And that he would remember us the next time we went. We are NEVER going back so he doesn’t need to remember us. I also told him that I would put feedback on Unilocal & he said who uses that anymore!

Alamo Street Eat Bar is really cool and convenient while you’re hanging out in Southtown. I love stopping by here to get something to eat just because or when I’m on my way to Azuca for some salsa dancing or La Villita for an event. Basically the location is perfect. I love that it’s open late since it seems that so many restaurants in San Antonio close super early even on the weekends compared to other places.
I rarely find parking in their lot so most of the time I don’t even bother and just find a spot on the street instead.

Are there better food truck lots out there? Yes. Are they in San Antonio? No. Is it a great time, worth it, and getting better every month? Yes.
Here’s the setting: picnic tables, a huge variety of food trucks, live music and bar. Chicken, burgers, wood fired pizza, you name it, they got it or rotate it. It’s not club like and not a complete dive joint. It’s basically a great place to eat, see friends, and have a good time. I’m a fan.

Dukes seafood grill guy is so shady af. Bad service. Doesn’t get order right if he gets busy forget about your order go home don’t come here

Still one of my favorite places to go to enjoy food trucks. It’s definitely and family friendly environment and when the Spurs play it’s even better. Today I tried out two new trucks for the first time. First I tried out Dukes Seafood and Grill. I ordered their shrimp and chips for 12.00. I wish I could say it was a hit for me, but it wasn’t. The shrimp didn’t have any flavor at all and sadly reminded me of frozen shrimp I got at my high school lunch. The hush puppies were ok as well as the fries, but nothing to brag about. I would give it 2 stars. I may just need to try something else on their menu to give them another shot. Later on I tried out Puerto Rican Grub Express and it was fantastic! I got the crispy pork bits with a side of sweet plantains. Ridiculously good. They have a nice extensive menu and would love to try one of many filled empanadas the next time I’m there. It was all washed down with Alamo Beer. Definitely come out here if you’re in the area! It fills up fast and parking is limited.

On a Sunday night there was only three food trucks. I was disappointed that there wasn’t more to choose from but what we got was fabulous! Al pastor tacos and pepperoni pizza were my faves of the night. Not sure if the trucks rotate or there are more sometimes than others. It was great though!

We visited around 9. Parked across the street to check out their beer list. Well after seeing their tiny beer list, we started walking away. An employee chased after us, harassing us about parking in their parking lot and not ordering. 1) we weren’t even parked there. 2) yall chase after people who don’t order? So unpleasant.

Walked in on a Saturday night after some drinking had taken place allll day… needing some nice grease to appease the snacking need in me. It was a Saturday Night. About 11:30. There were 2 food trucks open. Two. There wasnt a huge crowd of people, maybe 15, but still. We had burgers or pizza to pick from.
We had a wood fired pizza ($ 12.99). It was amazing! Im not a huge pizza fan but this I would eat every week. Gouda and Sausage. Yumm.
The bar was open. I ordered 2 beers ($ 10.50). The guy working kept calling me pet names (angel, sweetie, doll) it was a little odd since Im there with my Husband. But whatever. He was nice at least.
Next time were in town I totally plan to stop in again for some night time snacks. Just hope there are more options.

Great food, great selection of beers, fun atmosphere, big screen TV. The perfect gathering place for friends.

Outstanding food truck venue. They seem to have the food truck to traffic ratio down to a science, every time I’ve been here they have just enough food trucks to satisfy the number of customers stopping by to hang out. They’ve also done a good job vetting out their food truck partners. All of them are good quality, but the wood burning oven pizza truck really stands out.

I like the idea, but the execution has too many issues. ASEB is essentially a gathering spot for food trucks, with covered picnic table seating for guests and a small bar area. There’s a gravel lot attached for parking and a projection screen for videos and special events. All important, solid things that can make this idea successful in downtown SA.
But the food trucks represented here were dismal and overlapped cuisines, most featured an extremely limited menu of basic fried items. The ASEB website is outdated (EDIT: apparently they use their FB page now exclusively) and features trucks that are no longer present (DUK truck, Zum Sushi, Where Y’At). Volume of music/​video playing for entertainment made ordering difficult and transactions had to be screamed. There isn’t much lighting except around the actual bar. Whoever is in charge of logistics seems to have left the building.

Had some carne asada tacos and the fries with carne asada and they were good. I wasn’t into the fries bc they had a sauce that was gravy like and it was a big enough deal for me commit to eating meat period. The other truck options were ok, burger and a array of rando unappetizing food choices (for my personal preference for the night). He tacos were pretty good and the salsa was delic and spicy. They had a beer truck that had some
Good selections and wasn’t bad priced. I liked the music choice they had blasting as well. Would be good if you had a casual group of friends to hang with no pressure and a come and go type of set up. I’d come back, but there’s probably a hundred other spots I may check out over this bc there was not really any veggie options which is my
Go to and preferred choice of eating.

Alamo eat street is the ultimate down town food truck experience. Located just miles from the Alamo and the river walk it is the perfect dinner experience when you are headed down town. There are usually a variety of food trucks to chose from. I had the pleasure of having wood fire pizza. The food came out quickly and was very delicious. The bar staff is knowledgable about the beers they have on tap and what would work best for you. It is a family experience that can also be a date night for you and your significant other. Check it out and get a pepperoni pizza!

I wish I could say I had a better experience here, but sadly, I did not.
The first time we visited, it was later in the evening and the crowd was pretty mellow. The food trucks weren’t busy, and neither was the bar. The bartenders were semi-​nice, but the food truck vendors weren’t so much.
I ended up getting a $ 3 Lone Star because I wanted to be cheap, but their beer selection was pretty good. They had quite a few things on tap, and most beers were around $ 5 or $ 6.
The second visit, we actually ended up leaving and going somewhere else. It was early in the evening, maybe around 7:30, but the DJ was blasting some jams super loud making it difficult to talk or hear anything else.
I was pretty underwhelmed with this place. The truck options weren’t the best, and there wasn’t much of an appeal. I think that on a good night, or if you’re downtown late, it might be a great place to stop for some drinks or a late night snack, but just make sure that the food trucks have options that you are interested in!

We used to frequent this place with a large group of friends, but ever since they got some douchebag hippie bartender, we are no longer spending our money here. on multiple occasions this bartender has been rude and arrogant, «banning» people for whatever ruffles his feathers. even after trying to sort things out, this arrogant a-​hole acts like he’s got weight to throw around. We’ve been coming here since it was Acapulco’s. what a shame… and we’re not the only ones that have complained about this same jerk!

I probably should have researched before hand to see what trucks were going to be here before making it our dinner destination. We went to PAX and on a reddit suggesting this place decided to try it out.
This place is very hyped from reddit to Unilocal to foodie reviews and news articles but honestly like a bunch of other south town foodie spots this place left me under whelmed.
So the atmosphere was nice. I like the sitting in a friend’s backyard drinking a beer and chilling vibe this place gave off. I didn’t care for some of the other patrons. Lots and lots of cigar smoke and with the wind you couldn’t really sit anywhere without bring assaulted by it. Also the thing that I just really found off putting was the restroom. I get that it is a «bar» but wow it was really gross. I don’t really mind all the writing on the walls but the floor being wet with puddles and a note that says be careful wet floors due to weather when the rain has been gone for a full day just seems disgustingly lazy. The windows are blocked with what looks like dirty dish rags and the upper walls and ceilings seemed to have mildew or mold issues.
We tried two of the trucks tonight winner winner chicken dinner and sabores. WWCD we tried two sandwiches and the loaded tots. The food was okay nothing super amazing and not gourmet. It felt like we were eating bar food. At Sabores we tried the mini asada tacos and the carne fries with an egg. Can’t say I was a fan at all but we frequent taco trucks often. An although the ones we go to regularly go to are not gourmet I would say they pack some huge flavor which this truck did not deliver.
I probably should have went for a burger our one friend did order one from attaboy and thoroughly enjoyed it but out of a group of 6 he was the only content person.
Maybe if I am in the area again I would give a couple of the other trucks a try but I don’t think I would take a special trip to just go here again.

I really do like this place. I just wish they would change up the food trucks every so often, that would be sweeet!

Pick a truck, order some food, watch a game and have a drink. Street bar atmosphere with music and good food. I had the mini tacos and beignets. Prices are ok, but not cheap. A food truck round up that caters to tourists, but also attracts locals.

I am admittedly obsessed with Alamo Street Eatz… my feelings for it are… unnatural. Just seeing it makes me smile; I always leave happy; I love introducing strangers to it. I’ve been totally in love with it since I returned to SA last summer. It’s also, in my opinion, still the best food truck park in the City.
Anyway, the parking lot is smallish, but there is plenty of street/​neighborhood parking & it’s in a very walkable area. Even on weeknights, there are a minimum of 3 – 4 food trucks. Ol’ reliables: Attaboy Burgers, Wheelie Gourmet, and Where Y’all At? All very, very tasty food options, indeed. (My go to? The OG at Wheelie Gourmet… MAGIC!). On weekends, you’ll see Jason Dady’s Duk Truck and I also noticed a few new additions this past weekend: a sammich truck and a pizza truck. There’s something for everyone, y’all. The prices can be a bit steep, but the food quality & creativity is worth it. Can’t say that about many places on the Riverwalk, can ya?
There’s a nice bar in the center with a great selection of various sodas & beer, including craft beers. The picnic tables are mostly covered… some are uncovered on the side. It’s fun to squeeze in at a table with strangers on busy nights & strike up a conversation.
No matter if I’m here at 2AM or 7PM, the food is deliciously consistent & the fun is plentiful! Good luck keeping this gal away…

I’m a big, big time patio fan for the two months or so that the weather is perfect in San Antonio. I also love good food trucks, and I’ve never been disappointed here. I can bring my fur-​kid because it’s dog friendly. There’s tons of great revolving beers in draft, both craft and mainstream picks. Don’t forget to ask about the wine on draft, though. They also have a wonderful sangria that’s perfect for balancing your meal if you get anything spicy.
The food trucks are revolving but the Institute of Chili (formerly the Chili Queens, building on a historic San Antonio tradition) and Attaboy Burgers are always good choices.
Attaboy has fresh burger buns, that feature a touch of sweetness, and I think that makes them some of the best burgers in town. Great buns make the difference, right? Get the sweet potato fries. They’ve run out of them multiple times I’ve ordered them, so if you can snag them, do.
Try the Roosevelt at the Chili Queens’ truck and you won’t be sorry (or hungry again for a long time). It’s two tamales covered in homemade, spicy and flavorful chili, and then topped with a fried egg. They basically say «Hey, you know perfection? Well, we covered it in heaven and then topped it with love. Hope your taste buds don’t explode.»
I haven’t yet tried the Queens’ House of Chamoy recipes, which are inventive and very SA flavored raspas. I’ve been drooling over their twitter feed, and now that it’s getting warmer again, I’ll be stalking them to get the perfect cold dessert to cleanse my palate after the spicy chili.
Parking can be an issue, but that’s the whole neighborhood. They often have great music spinning, or the Spurs game playing. It’s a neighborhood place, and it will make you happy you’re part of the neighborhood.

Such a fun spot! I think I love it most because I can walk here from home or my local drink spot, and they’re open late! 2 AM on the weekend! Hooray for good food late at night!
I first came on a beautiful Saturday night…65 degrees around 10:30PM. There were about four food trucks, Wheelie Gourmet, AttaBoy, SAbores, and a gourmet pizza truck. This place is a great spot; restrooms, tables, television, and draft beer. Oh wait, did I mention a DJ? That’s right, food trucks, in addition to everything I mentioned. So much fun! The DJ was an older guy but damn, he was cranking out some great tunes, everything from Fleetwood Mac to some modern European pop music. There were people dancing, eating, and chatting. I ate some damn good food and enjoyed a few Hopadillo IPAs. Perfect late night snack/​dinner spot. I highly recommend Wheelie Gourmet. My reviews of the food are at the individual food truck Unilocal reviews :-) Visit here soon!

Woah! That was my reaction when I came to the Alamo Street Eat Bar for the first time last night. This place was pimping! What a great late night food truck destination!
Decided to try this place out after a night party at SAMA. After driving through the downtown craziness, I thought I was going to end up somewhere that’s equally crazy. But to my surprise, this place wasn’t crazy at all. Just a few blocks away, it is chaotic and impossible to find parking. Here it is actually pretty chill with plenty parking spots in the heart of the city!
There were 5 trucks that night: Wheelie Gourmet, Where Y’at, Attaboy burgers, a Mexican truck Sabores, and a pizza truck. And they have a bar to order booze, picnic tables and a TV! Wowz!
I ordered the original gyro from Wheelie Gourmet since I’ve heard so much about their Moroccan offerings. My friend ordered tacos and fries from the Mexican truck. We sat down at one of the picnic tables to enjoy our food and have a quiet conversation. It deff felt nice in the middle of the night!
Looking around, I saw a group of 20 something drunk kids coming in to order food to go. Those girls were in stripper heels and short shorts with butt cheeks hanging out. They couldn’t carry food and walk straight lines without help from their «boyfriends». Suddenly, it made me feel wise as a 30 something woman. I also saw a biker dude falling asleep in a sitting position at a picnic table nearby. Deff a great place for people watching!
Heard there might be smokers here which sound problematic to me. Luckily I didn’t encounter any on my visit, only saw some cigarette butts. I am glad my night concluded here peacefully. Why didn’t I visit this place sooner? Well, I rarely go out partying so the chances of me ending up here in the middle of the night are slim.
I am sure this place will prosper with or without me. Keep on pimping, Alamo Street Ear Bar! Till next time!

Decent beer selection of domestics but nothing fancy. The prices are very reasonable for a downtown location.
There are usually two or three food trucks here too.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Every truck delivers! Food is always spot on.
My faves are :
the Cajun truck– Where Y’at –always order the shrimp po boy– it’s HuGe– stuffed & over flowing w crispy-​delicious! & Perfectly Spiced shrimp!
Next is Attaboy Burgers– Truly Gourmet style bacon cheese burger I can’t say no to! Their sweet fries are sinfully good!
Zum Sushi completes my trío. Their Shrimp & Crab roll fills my mouth w spicy goodness — the tempura shrimp is nice & crunchy, crab is plentiful, & sauces are yummy!
I like to wash it all down w their Oh So Good Micheladas, I prefer mine w a LoneStar because its watered down enough not to take away from the spicy flavors of the Michelada.
The only negative thing about this place is that it’s too close to my house and I lack the self control to stay away.

Anywhere on Southtown is boom town! The Friendly Spot, First Friday etc. It’s like a very delicate ecosystem and at the same time it all meshes together in a cohesive manner. Alamo Street Eat Bar is an extension of that. Who doesn’t love brews and food trucks! In this city we are always game for hanging out with friends whilst drinking. Shooting the breeze over a warm summer night, it doesn’t get better than that. And at the Alamo Street Eat Bar, you have the best of both worlds.
There is plenty of space here for a few of your friends and some tables for couples who just want to steal an intimate moment together. I really like the feel of this spot. While it is a tad hipster, I did see the everyday Joe here as well. The tables are pretty killer also. On the top of their surface are bottle caps with some glaze, a clever artistic touch. Looking into the scene you spot bike riders, who ultimately park here to gas up or for some respite.
They have a cool little bar that does serve up the usual brew fare, Dos XX or Bud. But they also sell some cool Texas beers like Karbach, out of Houston. The prices are, well it is a downtown spot, a little pricey but in all relativity not too bad. It is a more personal experience than say, Pat O’ Brien’s. It is laid back and ultra-​chillax. You can dress to the nines if you like or you can sport some flip flops and jean cut shorts and no one will bat an eye. It is unpretentious and as a matter of fact as a place you will go to.
The bartenders are extremely friendly and fit in with the milieu of this spot as well. Again, as a tourist you will feel welcome here much like a local would. And since it is on the tip of downtown, I implore both to check out this spot.
On the food end there are some food trucks for example like Attaboy Burgers, Institute of Chili or the DukTruck that sell the finest cuisine this city has to offer. My advice if you expect to eat anything from these trucks go early, especially on First Friday or you will be Stuck like Chuck. They also have dj’s who spin their wax like the ultra excellent DJ Plata, who knows how to get the crowd going.
The Alamo Street Eat Bar is a great spot. If you want to hang out with a few friends or plan to take a date give it a whirl. It a fine place to catch a glimpse of the Tower of Americas Skyline, drink a cold one, eat and partake in fine conversation with some friends. Yes, life doesn’t get better than that! Unless the dudes from the Free Credit Score Dot Com play there that night. That’s like scoring front row seats to Van Halen circa 1984!!!

Best spot to bring visitors and start the night out on the town — here’s why:
Food Trucks + Beer + Lots of Seating + Killer Location = best spot in town
FOOD: There’s moroccan, sushi, italian, and NOLA trucks parked here to satisfy the myriad flavor cravings you and your friends might have at some point in your evening.
BEER: The selection is local and microbrew, which is always awesome. Sometimes the line is is little much, but the bar staff is quick. There’s free water to please your body’s need to hydrate with the heat, too.
SEATING: lots of tables allow for big groups. This open spot provided an excellent view of the 4^th of July fireworks, too.
LOCATION: The location on Alamo is really good, close to both Beethovens and the Friendly Spot, and also near the riverwalk and the Blue Star Complex…
Overall, I haven’t lived in SA long, but when guests have come to visit, I always return here.
