Trilogy Pizza & Wine Bistro: Pizza, Three Ways

Trilogy Pizza & Wine Bistro is special because the place isn’t afraid to bring the best of New York, Chicago and California to the streets of San Antonio.

Located a short drive from Stone Oak Park, Trilogy gives you a choice between thin-crust New York style pizza, thick-crust Chicago style and wheat-crust California style. With that much choice, everybody will be happy! You can count on the crust getting crispy, because all of the pies are baked in Trilogy’s brick oven. Get a specialty pie or make your own creation. There are also a nice selection of pastas and salads.

La Cabana: Stop By This Cibolo Eatery for Mexican Fare and Margs

February 25, 2016 by

La Cabana is a well-known Mexican restaurant in the Universal City area that is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner out. While it doesn’t serve the usual Tex-Mex fare that many similar nearby eateries offer, it does boast a large selection of Mexican-American dishes, like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas.

While many local residents consider this a great lunch or dinner option, La Cabana also offers an impressive full bar that creates zany cocktails, such as the slushy margaritas with an ice-cold beer bottle tipped inside. Stop by for a $3 margarita during the weekday happy hour, or just take advantage of the everyday low prices at this local favorite.

Inside, La Cabana looks a bit like a log cabin, with exposed wooden beams and an A-frame style. The colorful flags and banners give it a Mexican touch that’s fun and festive.
