Vacant San Antonio staple Picante Grill turning into new Irish Pub, The Cottage

For more than 20 years, Gonzalo Pozo's Picante Grill served smoky-flavored fajitas that gained the notoriety of Texas Monthly's top Mexican food guide. Even after the restaurant closed in 2018, the Picante Grill's presence lingered like the smell of a sizzling fajita skillet with signs looming over Broadway advertising "beyond the border flavor."
Now after four years, the emptied spot across from the Witte Museum is readying to welcome a new crowd.
While the last enchilada plate at Picante Grill has been served, what's replacing the restaurant will also take customers over international borders.
While still taking shape, The Cottage Irish Pub looks like it was plucked from the Green Isle and plopped onto Broadway with fresh, white paint. "The Cottage" is spread across the Broadway-facing wall in bold lettering.
