Avenida Guadalupe Association aids economic development

West of downtown San Antonio, Avenida Guadalupe is a vibrant neighborhood with economic development programs supported by the Avenida Guadalupe Association. In the early 20th century, this neighborhood was a cultural hub for the city's Mexican-American community. Unfortunately, the area saw a steady economic decline until the 1980s, when the Avenida Guadalupe Association partnered with the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Development Agency to bring vast revitalization efforts to the neighborhood. The project restored local businesses, community centers and churches and introduced the Plaza Guadalupe, now the neighborhood's commercial and cultural hub. The project brought new life and a sense of community spirit, and the organization continues to support the neighborhood with historic building renovations, workforce training programs and events celebrating Mexican-American culture.

Downtown dining and the best enchiladas in San Antonio

Avenida Guadalupe is a hub of some of San Antonio's best authentic Mexican food. Panchito's Mexican Restaurant is the most popular spot in this part of town. Though they're known for their carne guisada tacos, the readers of the San Antonio Current voted that Panchito's has the best enchiladas in San Antonio in 2023. Another popular pick is Yatzil Mexican Restaurant, which keeps its food accessible by keeping all items under $10, even combo platters. Mi Rancho mixes Mexican tradition with American influence with a menu of homestyle Mexican food alongside bacon cheeseburgers. Avenida Guadalupe is two miles from downtown, San Antonio's most popular dining district. "There are many nice restaurants downtown, and the whole area celebrates Mexican culture," says San Antonio resident Brooke Mikell. “My favorite is Mi Tierra Café and Panaderia. Their chicken tacos and enchiladas are delicious. They also have a bakery at the front. The restaurant's vibe is very cool." For groceries, residents shop at H-E-B, and they do their retail shopping downtown at the Historic Market Square and Shops at Rivercenter.
