Fans of the now-shuttered Sangria on the Burg won't have to mourn much longer—owner Ceasar Zepeda is flipping the script and reopening the space as a chicken-centric eatery dubbed Saucy Birds. As reported by Express News, the San Antonio favorite that bid farewell last December is now serving up crispy poultry fare with the "same dedication to great food and drinks."

According to details disclosed by KENS 5, patrons can indulge in buttermilk bathed chicken strips for less than $14, or go wild with a 20 strip meal paired with a choice of six sauces, presumably aimed at those with hefty appetites and a penchant for variety. Beyond the standard fried fare, Saucy Birds is throwing a spin into weekends with brunch offerings that include Chicken and Hotcakes and a Crisp Chicken Hash Bowl, ensuring that both early birds and late risers get their fix.

Saucy Birds, is situated on the previous Sangria on the Burg's address at 5115 Fredericksburg Road.

The transformation of the space didn't just cater to new beginnings but also favored nostalgia, Zepeda brought back a Sangria on the Burg classic—the Thai taco salad, complete with pickled red onions and a crisp flour tortilla shell, this salad, topped with a little Thai dressing, promises a familiar yet adventurous bite. More importantly for fans of the original establishment, the sangria flight made a comeback, ensuring that some traditions simply don't die out amidst the restaurant makeover, shared by Express News.

Despite the struggles faced during the pandemic—echoed in a public appeal for support last November by Sangria on the Burg—Zepeda's commitment to his culinary ventures appears unwavering as he transitions into this new endeavor. The prompt shift from Spanish-inspired fare to down-home saucy comforts aligns with Saucy Birds' soft opening fanfare seen on social media.
