Jose Hernandez said he wanted to bring the cuisine of his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico, to San Antonio after moving to the area five years ago with his family.

“We wanted to make something for ourselves,” Hernandez said.

Originally, Hernandez said the idea for the eatery was from his wife, Neree Hernandez, who had years of experience cooking dishes in Mexico.

While the dream took longer than he expected, Hernandez officially opened his new restaurant, Tacos210Mexico, in October 2025.

On the menu: The taco spot offers a selection of traditional Tex-Mex dishes, from street tacos to burrito bowls, all with a twist.

Hernandez said what sets the restaurant apart in San Antonio is its selection of dishes, which are popular in Monterrey and throughout the state of Nuevo León, Mexico.

Walk Your Plans, a design facility that transforms blueprints into life-size walkable experiences, has opened its doors in Northwest San Antonio.

The details: The business uses seven state-of-the-art projectors in its 7,500-square-foot showroom to cast floor plans and wall drawings at a one-to-one scale, allowing architects, builders and homeowners the ability to explore life-size renderings before construction begins, according to a news release.

Clients can explore 2,600-square-foot projection areas, with technology that transitions to different portions of the blueprint to accommodate plans of any size, the news release states. The facility also allows clients to project appliances, furniture and vehicles to assist in visualizing the space.

Owned by Boerne-based entrepreneurs Johnathan and Reanna Ellis, the couple brings years of experience with facilities management and project coordination. 

“Experiencing your blueprints at scale empowers you to identify potential challenges and explore alternatives to ensure every detail is perfect during the pre-construction phase, so you can build with intention and precision,” Johnathan Ellis said in the news release.
