More late-night eats in San Antonio
Faust Tavern ★ 3.8
Faust Tavern is the Tobin Hill dive that keeps the St Mary's crowd going until 2am, with stiff pours, edgy decor and a craft-beer list of more than sixty.
Try: Stiff pours and craft beer
Tip: A proper late dive with stiff pours; cash is easiest. The crowd spills over from the St Mary's strip on weekends.
Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia ★ 4.3
Mi Tierra at Market Square never closes, so a 3am plate of enchiladas with strolling mariachis and a stop at the panaderia counter is a San Antonio rite.
Try: Enchiladas, pan dulce, mariachi at any hour
Tip: The 24-hour dining room makes it the default after-midnight Tex-Mex stop. Buy pan dulce from the bakery on your way out.
Tacos El Regio ★ 4.2
Tacos El Regio is the St Mary's Strip's late-night taco truck, griddling al pastor and bistek tacos for the bar crowd well past midnight, Monterrey-style.
Try: Al pastor and bistek street tacos
Tip: The post-bar move on St Mary's. Order the trompo al pastor and pile on salsa from the bar.
The Esquire Tavern ★ 4.2
The Esquire Tavern keeps its downstairs cocktail room by the river running late, where a burger at the historic downtown bar is the after-dark order.
Try: Burgers and bar snacks at the long bar
Tip: The downstairs cocktail room by the river runs late. A burger at the historic bar is the late-night order.
La Tuna Icehouse ★ 3.8
La Tuna Icehouse in Southtown keeps its oak-shaded outdoor yard going past dark, where cold beer and live music are the late-night draw in mild weather.
Try: Cold beer and bar plates under the oaks
Tip: The outdoor yard is the late-night draw in mild weather. Cold beer and live music keep it going past dark.
Rumble ★ 3.9
Rumble on the St Mary's strip stays open until 2am with a big patio for watching the crowd; pair a craft beer with a late taco from El Regio next door.
Try: Craft beer and snacks on the strip
