Meet Ashley — The Face Behind The San Antonio Foodie
Hi, I’m Ashley Jrubio, a 27-year-old San Antonio native and lifelong food lover. I grew up on Tex-Mex, backyard barbacoa, and Sunday breakfast tacos, and that early love of local food turned into a passion for exploring every corner of the city’s dining scene. Over the years I’ve eaten my way through hundreds of restaurants — from family-owned taquerias that have been open for decades to new spots putting a modern spin on San Antonio classics.
I started The San Antonio Foodie because I kept getting the same question from friends and family: “Where should we eat?” Instead of answering one text at a time, I began writing it all down — honest reviews, practical guides, and recommendations based on real visits, real meals, and real opinions.
