When driving down Interstate 281, drivers are likely to spot a set of smokestacks, the sign that The Quarry neighborhood of Alamo Heights is coming into view. Bedecked with sprawling spaces typical of the Texas landscape and a constant thrum of activity, The Quarry borrows rural and urban elements to create something else entirely. Those iconic smokestacks symbolize a certain hybridity, one of an industrial hub turned modern playground.
The Alamo Quarry Market has so much to enjoy including a movie theater, name-brand and specialty stores and fine restaurants. One such is Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant, which has been indulging customers in quality Tex-Mex cuisine since 1976. Elsewhere in the area, Piranha Izakaya serves Japanese style ramen and sushi in a laidback dining space. Snooze is the ultimate breakfast spot with a bounty of early morning eats to help residents enjoy the most important meal of the day.
