One restaurant closes, and another opens. That’s how it goes in the Charlotte restaurant scene.
From the restaurant group that brought us Manzetti’s Tavern, San Antonio’s Modern Mexican will open this spring at SouthPark Mall where Morton’s steakhouse used to be.
San Antionio’s is described as “an upscale fusion of Mexican, Tex-Mex, Southwestern and Classic American.”
Look forward to traditional Mexican and Tex-Mex fare as well.

Here is my standard query anytime I hear that someone is doing “authentic” or “traditional” Tex-Mex, Southwest, etc.
Will they make their own tortillas from scratch, or buy them off a truck?
If off a truck I can do the same — or better — at home.
Hm, yep…not sure about tortillas from scratch. I guess we shall see once they open this spring. We’ll have to stay tuned.
Here is the scoop; I ate at San Antonio’s today for lunch and Im also from San Antonio, TX! Do not go there thinking that you will get some enchiladas, menudo, or anything else that symbolizes traditional. (Except for Tacos). Now if you forget about that then you won’t be disappointed. The Staff is friendly (our waitress was excellent). The food is good and plentiful (try the shrimp BLT). They even had Margaritas for a BUCK!!(Although I did not get to try them, I was at lunch). The atmosphere is nice and the decor is charming. I liked that I could see directly into the kitchen as the cooks prepared the food. The prices were very reasonable compared to South Park standards. Im going back again to get some nachos and a margarita!
