A restaurant spokesperson told KSAT the restaurant is scheduled to open this summer.

The restaurant will sell chilaquiles, tacos, beer, cocktails and aguas frescas. Chilaquiles will be served with a variety of salsa flavors, including rojo, chipotle, habanero, entomatados, chile verde and creamy green, the release states.

“Bringing Chilaquiles Buen Dia to San Antonio is a dream come true for us,” Pan y Agua partner Nick Salgado said in the release. “We’re thrilled to share our passion for authentic Mexican flavors with the vibrant community of San Antonio, inviting them to experience the warmth and authenticity of our taqueria-inspired eatery.”

Salgado founded Pan y Agua in 2008, along with Octavio Gomez and Chef Rudy Valdes.

This will be Pan y Agua’s first restaurant in San Antonio.
