Pricey ($$$$) but great! You pay one price and eat as much as you want/can. Make sure you fast for a day before you go. Reservations are STRONGLY recommended!

This is now called Taste of India. Run by an Indian couple. I think they have the best Indian food in SA. Great lunch specials (lots of food for $6+) and amazing dinner menu. Great value for the price

Best Tex Mex restaurant in San Antonio. If you are able to go on Friday -- get the Friday special. OTW -- get the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom. If you skip the drinks -- you'll be amazed at your low bill.

The BEST barbecue restaurant in San Antonio. I recommend the ribs (get about a one lb per person), sausage links (ask for them to cut it up for you), and the creamed corn. Add BBW sauce!

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant is run by a Thai couple. My very STRONG recommendation is the Spicy Mango Deluxe with Chicken. My friends always get the Pad Thai.

Drinks & Nightlife

You can literally walk to this restaurant (1/2 mile). Located in Artisans Alley off Bitters. I would sit outside if the weather is nice. This is eclectic type food so don't expect to get full.

This is a thirty minute drive WITHOUT traffic so plan accordingly. Outdoor seating only. Live music. Great pizza. Make sure you have time to enjoy it - this is NOT fast food.

Everything Else

Second hand furniture and clothing store. Unlike most places -- they get in "good" stuff as they are selective. Fun to just browse and get some ideas.
