Harreman project / Chili Queen
From the 1860s until the late 1930s, one of the primary amusements of both visitors and locals was the food and entertainment offered in the plazas of San Antonio by the Chili Queens. These women set up tables at twilight to serve chili con carne and other Mexican American delicacies all night long. Soldiers, tourists, cattlemen, troubadours and people from diverse social backgrounds felt enchanted by these women’s charm and their spicy dishes. Over the years, the Chili Queens became the forerunners of today’s nationwide Tex-Mex food industry.
