Food

The food is fabulous in San Antonio [1], and not surprisingly, the focus is on Mexican restaurants. The sheer number of Mex-related eateries (Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, Interior Mex, etc.) can be overwhelming, so check out www.saeats.com [2] or pick up a San Antonio Current, the city’s alternative weekly rag, to get a better handle on the latest restaurants in each category and where they’re located.

Fortunately, several well-regarded eating establishments have additional locations on the touristy River Walk, and other downtown areas offer some of the highest-quality Mexican food in Texas.
