San Antonion Restaurant Recommendations

One of my all time favorite Mexican (Mexican NOT Tex-Mex) is in San Antonio....La Fogata on Vance Jackson Get the grilled poblano stuffed with grilled chicken and cheese.......WOW! And their salsa is fantastic! Go on a sunny day because they have GORGEOUS patios. I also like L'Etoile in Alamo Heights. As for fun on the river...I've had some pretty good food and fun at Rio Rio.

Thanks, Rob. I'll be sure and try LaFogata.

If you are in the market area downtown, I recommend Mi Tierra (SA institution) for good Tex-Mex. La Margarita is more touristy in same area but good for price. Karam's on Zarzamora is one of my favorites & not that far from downtown. For Italian, I like Pisiano's (spelling?) near Alamo Heights. For good jazz try The Landing on the Riverwalk. SA is a really fun city; take the river boat &, if you are there on Sunday, the noon Mariachi mass at Mission San Jose is worth the trek. If you are there the week of April 21, you have Fiesta--with parades, Night in Old San Antonio & lots of fun. Try traveltex.com for more info. <BR>

You must have a car, but the Grey Moss Inn is great. It has a spectacular wine list. <BR>

I have to agree with the Mi Tierra suggestion, it's great Mexican and very reasonably priced.

Try Boudro's on the Riverwalk. It's fantastic -- be sure to make reservations well in advance. I agree with Mi Tierra and Las Margaritas. Either is a must for great Mexican atmosphere -- the mariachis at Las Margaritas are better. Ask them to play "El Nino Perdido" and the all-time favorite "Rancho Grande" and, of course, "Guadalajara".
