About Sweet Hazel's Sweets

My blog will focus on baking and traveling. I chose these two because I want to share with others my love and wonderful experiences I have when I bake for others, and the intersting things I taste and see when I travel. If you are wondering where the name came from, I named my bake shop after my mother who LOVED sweets, and also like to travel, but I think she liked the sweets more. On October 20, 2015, my mother passed on, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, although this disease took over her mind and body and her world she still remained the sweet gentle woman she has always been. So here's to sweets for my sweet Hazel.

Barriba Restaurant San, Antonio, Tx

My family and I had an opportunity to visit Barriba while we were in San Antonio, Tx.
Their food, by far, is NOT Tex-Mex.  Pictured here is one of their appetizers we tried. This is their Queso Deluxe.  It wasn't to spicy, but had just the right amount of spices that gave it a good taste.
There was also a live band playing,  and the decor was very reminiscent of old Mexico.  I enjoyed their Perla's Pan Seared Fish and Rice.  The fish was very tender and very well seasoned with a hint of mild spices.  The rice was very fluffy and buttery.  I also enjoyed their Skinny Dulce Vida Rita.  It 
included Agave Nectar and orange juice rimmed with salt around the glass.  This  gave the Margarita a sweet, but sour taste.  Our waiter was excellent.  Even though it was very crowded our waiter was very attentive and gave attention to details, such as keeping the table clear of any dirty dishes or glass ware.  

If you are looking for authentic Mexican Food along with the feel of Old Mexico, along with a live band Barriba is the place to visit.
