Mexico Ceaty at the Shops at Rivercenter to host back to school bash for Tax Free Weekend

SAN ANTONIO — The latest food hall from chef Jason Dady will be hosting a back to school bash to coincide with Tax Free Weekend. 

Mexico Ceaty recently opened at the Shops at Rivercenter. The weekend of Aug. 7-9, the food hall is hosting its Summer Send-Off Fiesta, to be paired with the back to school shopping.

Visitors will get to see a live DJ at Dos Cantinas from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and a special mariachi performance  from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday during Dos Cantina’s Mexican Breakfast. The restaurant’s Mexican Breakfast is served Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Many items in the Mercado will also be part of tax-free weekend, so guests can get custom-made and artisan goods for a discount price. 

The 21,000 square-foot food hall area within the Shops at Rivercenter was completely overhauled last year from its previous form of a traditional mall food court. It was replaced by a variety of different eateries that Chef Dady says better reflects San Antonio culture.
