I think we've been to La Tapatia. Where is it?
Did I mention their catering rooms?
They're literally in a tunnel underneath a building on the Riverwalk. Next to the now out of business, Kangaroo Court, which coincidentally was owned by the same owner.
They are the worst on the river. I've had people come to my restaurant saying they accidentally went to the Original the night before and had one of the worst dining experiences of their lives.
Chacho's is horrible.
But yeah, I'll never understand the Mi Tierra/Pico De Gallo/ La Margarita love. People that enjoy going there are either tourists, or just dont dine out much.
Seriously, there are only 4 places I'll eat Mexican food at.
La Fogata. That's a great atmosphere there and good food. Not great, but good. They usually have good servers there too.
My restaurant Rio Rio. Great food.
El Rafas. Good hole-in-the-wall on Hildebrand.
Rosario's. The drinks suck though. I have no idea why so many First Friday kids go there to just have drinks, and overlook the food.
Then you haven't been to . There's El Mirasol, Bee's, and Panchito's to start with...
We've been to all three of those.
I'm just saying that it's funny that in a town with this much Mexican food, you have to search for one that's even slightly above average.
Everytime we visit San Antonio we have a DIFFICULT time looking for a REAL Mexican restaurant,especially when my in-laws travel with us.
So we go to Golden Corral. WORST SERVICE & FOOD. I am not sure what address it was but it was heading towards UTSA/Fiesta Texas.
Terrible experience!
There's no better Mexican food than at home or in Mexico ofcourse.If anyone ever visits northern Mexico be sure to visit La Fogata,Los Portales. If you go to Monterrey NL visit El Rey del Cabrito or Los Generales.
Riverwalk in SA: My wife and I rather go to Italian retaurants.One December we went to a Jazz retaurant outside and had a few drinks.I don't remember the name but if anyone knows about it let me know.We really enjoyed it there.

Great place.
There is real Mexican food restaurants, you just have to find them. Bee's is one of them. And I disagree with anybody who says it isn't. It's owned by a Mexican family and it's obvious that they know what they're doing....
Thanks!!!! Awsome,awsome place to have a few drinks with friends or with your loved one.Very Romantic!!!
as long as its not like Rosario's on the river I'll take a chance.
I don't like my rice too puffy and please NO POWDERED GUACAMOLE!!!!
Oscar's on Nogalitos is my favorite place. There food is the best I've had here.
Right off of 37 on Fair Ave. Across from the Home Depot.
Bee's is good
Rosarios is great!
But the "hole in the wall" places like Taurino's are the best!!
Damn Bee's has huge burritos, Screech showed me that place
la fogata is way overpriced for mexican food too...
mi tierra's is waaaay overpriced for mexican food...
and alamo cafe is white people's mexican food...
El Chaparel in Helotes is good. Their refried beans are to die for.
Yhe Jazz restaurant was "The Landing"
The original ChaCha's on Bandera rocks.
The Best Mexican food in SA is not found in any restaurants but in kitchens across the city where momma and abuelita cook it up everyday!
I actually like Saulsalito's but I'm no food critic.
Like Tomatillo's. Never been to any of the top 3 mentioned and never heard of Mexican Manhattan.
But I'm gonna have to breakdown and check them out.
Yeah, but they want to know about the food...not just the margaritas...
Lupe's Escape is the best mexican restaurant by far!
.........of course it's in Portland.
I have to agree with S y on this one. Its pretty good there. Their queso flamado is great. However, SA doesn't have the best Mexican food. Its Tex-Mex and I don't really like it. Denver, CO has better (authentic) Mexican food than SA. I have been to a lot here in town and they all miss the mark. Alamo Cafe is the worst. The tortillas are the worst. Los Barrios, Azuca, and all those others are over hyped.
Azuca isn't mexican food.
I agree with Joe, nothing compares to my mom's mole or carnitas or anything else. I'd rather make fajitas at home most of the time.
But I still love going to Mexican Manhattan for some reason. I'm not too picky because I thin it is hard to up mexican food.
And well, I still can't complain one bit about Chachos when you consider the price!
I could google it or, heaven forbid, pick up that strange large book with all the thin yellow pages to find out where Bee's is at but by having someone post it, all that don't know will know.
La Fogata is good for the fancy evening out. The atmosphere is good outside on spring or fall nights and the food is good enough.
Mexican Manhattan used to be a fav of mine but I haven't been there in at least a couple of years so I don't know if they've gone downhill so I'll have to revisit.
Azuca is good and for those of you who haven't seen it, the Entertainment Book has a buy one get one offer in it for them.
Rosarios is good food but I'm masochistic and like visiting that place when it is livelier, more crowded and with a band playing.
Recently tried El Jarro. Good atmosphere with a band on the weekends that isn't loud to the point of drowning out your conversation. Some high priced fancy but it you look at the menu hard enough, you'll find the less expensive, regular mexican food type fare.
El Mirasol - Good food but the portions are really small. But it's a good place to take a date with the little, out of the way type joint vibe.
And ChaCho's - it's not gourmet mex but it's plentiful, good and dirt cheap. My kinda joint. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there but I work nearby and if I'm in the area, it is hard to resist the nachos.
Yeah, Guajillo's is pretty good. Always enjoy eating there when in hungover.
