Enjoy the nationally televised game -- Shaq v. Duncan.![]()
...this weekend baby.
I'll be making the 5 hr pilgrimage down the the best city on earth Saturday morning and staying until Monday. I'll be in Sec 208 on row 12 if anyone is in the area...and I also plan to go and wander around the pro shop about 1:45ish if anyone wants to holla at a brotha. Big bald guy, tattoos, 2008 Tim Duncan All-Star Jersey.
Couple of questions for the locals....
Good Mexican food...I have eaten at a couple of pretty good places in my past trips down to SA but I am sure there is better that I haven't discovered. I'll be staying just a few miles from the AT&T, so somewhere on the east side of town would be ideal.
Live music Saturday night...if there is any bars in the area that are having good live music Saturday night I'd certainly be interested. I'm a sucker for a good classic rock cover band. And again...I'd rather not venture too far from the east side of town, but if the band is good enough I might make an exception.
Can't wait to be back home.![]()

You must be in Dallas, too. Have a freakin' blast of a time! Safe travels there and back.
Bring some rain with you ... we could use it.
Enjoy the game, have a safe trip!
Chacho's - Not on the east side, but it's the best plate of fajitas or chicken nachos you're going to get. Pretty much all of their stuff rocks. King Kong Nachos will feed your family for about a month.....
IF you're looking for something more upscale, The Iron Cactus on the Riverwalk is a pretty good spot. Try the guac......amazing!!
Have a great time!!!!
Tyler...about 80 mi east of Dallas. I might as well be in Dallas though with all the Cowboys/Mavericks worshipers over here.
Thanks for the safe travel wishes. I will need them on the stretch of I-35 between Waco and SA. Its like playing with your life riding on that road.
In searching I found one on Poss Rd. and one on Callaghan Rd. Are they the same/different?
Nice!
I'll be there too, Sec 208, row 21.
Nice to see you will go to the game only to see your pathetic and boring team perish!
Mi Tierra's (sp?) is great! It's located downtown right by 35... but it's easy to hit 90 from there
How much of these tickets?
Hey Louis, good luck getting out of the first round Rocket Fan![]()
Uh, No. Sorry. San Antonio is far from synonymous with GOOD MEXICAN FOOD. Get it straight. Tex-Mex is NOT Mexican food. Are you kidding me?
Your best bet is to visit the holes in the wall on the West and south side of San Antonio owned by Mexican Nationals who really know MEXICAN FOOD. Fajitas aren't even traditional Mexican dishes much less other ridiculous plates that exist. Call it Tex-Mex cuisine NOT Mexican. 2 different worlds.![]()
Enjoy it for all of us that can't be there benefactor!![]()
Ok...good Tex-Mex.
You bet it is. That's probably why I prefer driving at night. Enjoy the game.
in' sick! if you're looking to add 30 lbs onto your ass then by all means check out chachos... or if you just like a ton of grease then yeah chachos is your place!
if you want real mx food there are a couple of places i suggest but none are on the east side(bad side of town). guajillos which is off blanco & 410, tacos de julio off of fredericksburg and like hildebrand. already suggested, mi tierras is alright too and it's downtown.
as for coverbands and whatnot... i have no idea on the weekends.
FINALLY! someone who knows what the they are talking about...
... i want some horchata and mole poblano right now!
Same company, different atmospheres. They all have plaques on the outside stating what you should expect.
The one on Callaghan Rd. is more party oriented, the one on Bandera more family. Haven't been to the one on Poss though.
The food is undeniably good at either location though. Drinks ain't half bad either![]()
rofl....how do these NOT go hand in hand?
But for the record, yes I omitted quite possibly the best place: Mi Tierra.
real mx food unless you eat a ton is kind of light. especially depending on where you go though i will admit tacos de julio will add some fat on to your ass but that place is awesome!
chacos on the other hand is completely sickening and a disgrace to "good mexican food".
god i wish i was back in cuernavaca! or even acapulco...![]()
Did you bother to think he meant TexMex because basically everyone who says Mexican means Texmex.
Located Downtown:
Mi Tierra
Pico de Gallo
La Margarita
(owned by the same family)
Tomatillos on Broadway.
There's also a whole bunch of Jalisco restaurants, a lot of them on the west side.
Good for you man! I hope the Spurs beat the crap out of Phoenix. I'm not too familiar with good mexican food on that side of town. Wait...I think the Southeast side of town has some good local restaurants. Steven might know.
Well as you said earlier, it's not REAL mexican food now is it? I don't think anyone's gonna dispute that.
There's nothing light about real mexican food either. That diet keeps me in business almost singlehandedly.
