About
A San Antonio café, plain and proud.
Culebra Café is a family kitchen on Pat Booker Road — cream walls, painted yellow signs, papel picado overhead, and a pot of barbacoa going since before the sun came up. We cook the things our families taught us, the way our families taught us. Come in hungry, leave full, take a pound home for the road.
