I've been approached be a few people asking about good places to eat in San Antonio. I'll give my opinions and some others that are in the know can throw their 2 cents in.
Personally I rarely eat downtown. As far as Mexican food goes, I feel I can get as good or usually even better food other places for less money. That said, Mi Tierra at the Mexican Market is a nice place. It has a 24 hour bakery and all the bells and whistles for a tourist. If anyone wants some suggestions away from the downtown area I'll be happy to give those. Blanco Cafe is one of those. Henry's Puffy Taco is pretty good also. Las Palapas has many locations and they have a "macho" burrito and an "okie" burrito. Good stuff, but again, away from the riverwalk.
jk disagrees with me, but many Okies that have visited us have confirmed my feeling that Good Time Charlie's has the best Chicken fried steak around here. Great burgers and chicken tenders. Not much to look at, but it's all good. jk likes the Jailhouse Cafe. I liked it alright, but they pound their CFS out so thin it's as big as your plate. I prefer it a little thicker. And if you bleed gravy, Charlie's can't be beat.
I've heard excellent things about Chris Madrid's, La Fogata, and Dick's Last Resort........all can be found on the link above.
