I need somewhere good to eat Friday night in SA

[Nbadan]

La Gloria

[Nbadan]

Mexican:

La Hacienda - perfect on the patio
Cha-Cha's - best margaritas in town
Salsalito - a perfect 32 degree tap beer everytime

[baseline bum]

Mexican food - La Fogata, El Mirasol, Soluna, El Jarro, La Fonda on Main.

Italian - Sorrentos, Florios, Paesanos, Dough.

The Stonewerks recommendation is pretty solid. Any of the locations. Has a nice bar, wide variety to pick from and pretty reasonably priced.

Their salsa. I mean their plates are pretty average, but damn they have amazing salsa. I gotta go pick up a couple of bottles.

[DJR210]

Anywhere in town is fine as I don't mind driving. Good but not outrageously expensive.

Recommendations?

If you in the mood for a Chicken Fried Steak, hit up Lulu's downtown..biggest CFS I've ever seen..

[FkLA]

son you can get 2 meals for the price of one there. you order something from the 2 for 1 menu, you get the one meal and they'll bring out another meal when you're about to leave. it's not bad tbqhwyimo

Yeah, we always get that. One at the restaurant and another for home. Think its like 39.99, pretty good deal imo.

oh please. That place is disgusting.

If you want downtown check out Lukes. It's really ing nice. Everyone I have ever taken there raved about the food. If you like mussels theirs are freaking amazing and served with a fantastic peasant style bread for sopping up that amazing wine sauce they are cooked in. Free valet parking if you tell them at the hotel you are going to the restaurant.

Another riverwalk favorite is Budro's. Reservations are mandatory if you don't want to wait two hours. The blackened prime rib is really freaking good.

let's hook-up bro..I'll be staying at a downtown SA hotel (no )

[CosmicCowboy]

For casual cool you can't beat The Cove or La Tuna. Both should have live music on Friday night.

Actually, tonight you should probably skip La Tuna. It's First Friday in southtown and it will be crazy.

For classic Tex-Mex and the best margaritas in town hit up ChaCha's. I highly recommend the original top shelf margarita. If you like blazing hot salsa ask for the waiters sauce. They don't put it on the table. you have to know to ask for it. It's great but it's not for rookies.

No Asian food. There are very few that I trust. Anything else is fine...Mexican, Italian, American...whatever. Modestly priced...50 bucks or so for two.

Acenar on the River Walk has always been a favorite date spot for us. It's a different twist on Mexican cuisine. The great atmosphere & drinks are a plus!

So is your recipes.

Thought it was pretty damn good. All I've had there is CFS, mac and cheese, and fries.

Tom: "Let's hear it."

Bill: "Let's create a load of restaurants along the bayou and call it the River Walk."

Five Friday Facts: Sewer Water, Drought, and San Antonio

San Antonio, Texas has managed to keep the San Antonio River flowing through the River Walk area of downtown. What’s their secret? Treated sewage water.

The wastewater treatment plant of San Antonio, Texas, USA, resembles its sister plants around the world: a wide expanse of deep, in-ground concrete tanks filled with brown liquid. There’s a faint organic odor, not unpleasant, and noise from big pumps and motors that are moving city-size quan ies of water.

Ahem. It's "so are".

Ahem. It's "so are".

Lol, thanks. Been up all night.

In that $50 for 2 price range, you could try Clear Springs http://www.clearspringscafe.com/index.html They have a nice variety of seafood and American (steaks, burgers, salads). If you want CFS, try it here before you try Lulu's (try anything before you try Lulu's! ) and their onion rings are amazing. The breweries in town are okay, but breweries are great for beer, the food is pretty much a second thought here in town. For really great brewery/food head to Dodging Duck in Boerne or the Fredericksburg Brewery.

Keep me out of your high-priced food BS. LuLu's has great food.

Been there many times. That blackened prime rib is probably the best piece of meat I've ever had.

It's a pretty damn popular place dude - might be a little longer than normal. BTW, I don't know what you like, but their black bean burger is awesome.

[benefactor]

I was talking about driving over there. I'm right by the Alamo. I don't mind waiting when I get there.

[DPG21920]

Ahh, ya at least 6 IMO.
