When shopping at The Rim or La Cantera in San Antonio’s Northwest side made you hungry, there are many fine choices at the Rim, in the La Cantera shopping mall or along I-10 towards The Dominion, like La Fogata, which I visit for the margaritas.

The northwest side of San Antonio is home to some of the best shopping and dining in the city. The Rim is especially well-known for its high-end shopping and restaurants. Here are some of the best places to eat on the northwest side of San Antonio with Friendly Service.

Bakudan: This Japanese restaurant in The Rim is known for its delicious ramen dishes. I am personally making a run through the menu to decide which is my favorite. We are also happy to welcome a location into the Helotes area.

Uni’Ko: This sushi restaurant is a great place to enjoy fresh sushi and other Japanese fairs to include a robust saki menu. It is one of husband’s favorite sushi restaurants because he loves to tear up the sushi.

Mexican Food: There are many Mexican restaurants in the area, but some of the best include Lupe Tortilla, Mi Familia, and La Fogata. La Fogata has awesome margaritas and incredible roasted salsa for your chips.
