This Mexican Restaurant is an institution in San Antonio. Open 24 hours. It looks like christmas, Mexican Decorations and a Piñata got smashed together! Mexican food is good but caters to Tourist likes somewhat. Mariachi groups go from table to table and play for a tip. On Sundays they are in back room and play sitting together. I like that much better and they seem to like having an audience. The bakery has lines many times waiting to get a sugary treat that go from standard cookies to some of the best Mexican treats available.

I listed this as a bar but it is also a coffee shop. That means it opens early and stay open late. see their website for exact times. It is a great place to have an interesting drink on a veranda high enough to catch a late evening Texas breeze with some nice downtown views

The heart of the city is around the River Walk and rightly so. It is a great walk along the river where shops, restaurants, bars and live entertainment come together. From piano bars, to edgy Dick's Last Resort; there is something for everyone. Take the river boat tour to hear about this great city from the river guides. They are fantastic

Great burger place BUT it has a unique music venue in back. Great space for seeing local artist perform Monday nights are usually swing nights. Last time I was there, a dance studio gave free swing lessons to encourage dancing before the band came out. Fun times....
