We're going to be in San Antonio for a few days and look for really great margaritas. Suggestions?
Thanks!

We go to Boudro's. They make tableside guacamole that's really good too. They fill up, so I'd make a reservation.

La Fogata...

And might I suggest if you have more than one to pin a piece of paper onto your shirt with your name and hotel address so as not to get lost.

Well, I've never had a bad margarita in SA that I can recall (!)

[We've also had good ones at Boudro's and at Mi Tierra]

I forgot to post their website. It's www.boudros.com. Last time I checked they had their guacamole recipe listed online.

Los Barrios in SA has the best margaritas. They were featured on the Food Network for their puffy tacos too

We live here and when we want a good margarita, we go to Rosario's. La Fogata has excellent margaritas too. don't know where you're staying but Chuy's has good margaritas and I love their Texas martini (a smooth margarita).

We like Chuy's and La Fogata too. I haven't had the chance to try Rosario's yet, but it's on my list. We had to wait so long at La Fogata, but we had margaritas to console us!

I can't remember the name of it, but there's one right across the way from the Mexican marketplace downtown.

3 ounces regular silver Tequila
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
ice

Makes the world's best margarita. Everything else is disappointing.

Without a doubt - Boudro's Prickly Pear Margarita


It is roadtrip worthy!

Boudro's--absolutely!! The margaritas are delicious and the guacamole...divine.

I love Rosario's but the last time we were there it was too noisy to hear ourselves talk. Great food and fun atmosphere though.

Hopefully you'll be in SA for two nights and can do both.

Love margaritas. However San Antonio's restaurants don't know how do make a good one or should I say they like to make them on the weak side. The last two times I was in San Antonio I give up & decided a beer was my best bet.

Hell, San Diego has this place beat as far as margaritas are concerned , even Anchorage, Alaska too. However I am only knocking San Antonio on the margaritas, otherwise It is a great place to visit.

roy2moira,

that's exactly what I wanted to say in a more subtle way. And it is true for all Texas.

When in Texas, drink Shiner Beer. It's really good stuff (says a German!).

Apart from Margaritas, Texas is a great state.

Besides tequila is bad for you!

roy, that is just blasphemy - Alaska having better margaritas than Texas?!

traveller1959 you're correct. My wife and I traveled through Dallas/FtWorth, Austin, San Antonio, etc. for a 2 week trip 3 years ago. Loved it and the people so much we did west Texas for 2 weeks 2 years ago.

I tried a Shiner Bock at our 1st stop at the Stockyards, Ft Worth and that's been my beer ever since. It is distributed in Alaska so when I am not making or ordering a margarita, I am having a Shiner Bock.

Sorry to get a little off the subject of margaritas in San Antonio but neither Texas or Arizona have good margaritas, only California. I don't understand it considering their location. Then here we are in Anchorage, far north, with lots of Mexican restaurants and wonderful margaritas too.

volcanogirl and all you guys & gals must travel to Alaska someday. Recommend travel during June through August - the remainer of the year is winter. That's why tequila is good for us - it keeps us thawed out.

Wow, nothing like a little mass generalization!!

Uh oh! Think I'll duck on this one.
