Great place in San Antonio is El Mirador.  It was written up in Esquire mag in August, I think.  Southwestern and Tex-mex.  Very interesting food. Place has little ambiance.  You will think this cannot be the write place, but it is.  Prices are extremelly reasonable---maybe $8.95 for the main dish.  Ate there twice in September---something we rarely do.  Most of the places on the Riverwalk are pretty touristy.   Dolly

There was a thread about this awhile ago and many of us agreed that Las Canarias in an old hotel of the riverwalk is exceptional. Expensive, but definitely worth it.  I can't remember the name of the hotel (we even stayed there...), but it used to be a school and was redone into a hotel- very nice. Enjoy!

It's called La Mansion del Rio, and was once, I believe, housed the St. Mary's University Law School.
