#SanAntonio, #1930s : the banks were empty but the streets were full — music, papel picado, and the smell of #food that could feed a crowd on pennies. This is #FiestaSanAntonio at the height of the #Depression: steaming #tamales, soul-warming #fideo, skillet #picadillo, crackly #buñuelos, and even sweet-pink #tamalesdulces. These weren’t just plates — they were pride, resilience, and culture on a budget. If you love #FoodHistory, #LatinoHeritage, and real #TexMex roots, this one’s for you. #SanAntonio #HistoryTok #FoodTok #BudgetEats
