What is your favorite restaurant in Seguin?

My family and I love going to Ebi Ebi Sushi in Downtown Seguin. Their food is always fresh, their sushi is YUMMY, and they are open late.

What is Seguin’s best-kept secret?

Pape’s Pecan House and Nutcracker Museum. Kenneth Pape collected over 8,000 nutcrackers. From movie characters to presidents, cowboys to animals. You could spend hours perusing all the aisles and still not see them all.
