Signage for the former Mexican bistro Maria Mia at 849 E Commerce Street, at the San Antonio River Walk, advertises the Enrique Tomas experience as “coming soon.” Neither the company nor the mall were immediately available for comment on an opening date. We don’t know when the Mexican bistro closed.

Dallas hosted Enrique Tomas’ first US site in February 2020, according to the Dallas Morning News. If the Alamo City Enrique Tomas experience is like that of Big D, diners in San Antonio can expect a showcase with a variety of hams as well as the option of lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. .
