Across from Hotel Valencia sits an almost unnoticeable cafe popular to the business crowd who visit for a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich or taco.
If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat and to be frugal at the same time, Matinee Cafe offers a moderate selection at decent prices. The breakfast offerings, sandwiches, tacos and a small omelette, are excellent and where else in San Antonio can you get a sausage and egg croissant or English muffin for under $3? The staff was really friendly and seemed to know the regulars. There’s definitely a good feeling in this restaurant.
I haven’t tried their sandwiches, at lunch, but these also seem promising. They have Reubens, BLTs, Clubs, among other sandwiches, all of which come on your choice of bread and with chips for about $5 to $6. Like I said, I don’t know what the sandwiches are like, but I’ll definitely update once I go by for lunch.
