There's a lot of good places to eat downtown that I miss but it's just too much of a PITA to find parking for my truck down there.

TC's is ok...............NOT! :P

These are all good suggestions. El Chapparel is one of my faves but go early. This place gets packed. I stay away from Chacho's. Too much like fast food and seems they focus more on drinks.

I vote for Los Barrios and Rosarios.http://www.rosariossa.com/ http://losbarrios1.com/default1.aspx

Cazadora on West Ave inside 410; best green chicken enchiladas

Try Fiesta Patio Cafe on Pat Booker rd. The recipes are full of hippy love. Short grain brown rice Mexican style. No one seems to eat there but airmen from nearby Randolph Air force Base and their families. The food is awesome, but don't let anyone know, it's a secret


Fiesta Patio Cafe
1421 Pat Booker Road · Universal City, TX 78148 · 210-658-5110. "A Healthier Tex -Mex."

I enjoy a Mexican place near me called "Taquira Mexicana"
Just one of those local ethnic places off SW Military Drive
and Somerset. Place is usually packed with locals, and even
quite a few not so local folks.

Taco Palenque 1002 ne loop410 Super good and 24hrs http://www.tacopalenque.com/locations.php

There is a little place off of SW Military and Quintanna (sp) called Mendes/z.
I LOVE their Swiss Enchiladas. Off y'alls beaten trail but that dish sticks out.
Just try any hole in the wall place and experiment.

Good stuff!

It all depends whether you're talking about interior Mexican, classic Tex-Mex, or more contemporary Tex-Mex.

Interior: Cascabel, on S. St. Mary's St., or Guajillo's on Loop 410 and Blanco, or Cielito Lindo on Stone Oak. La Gloria in the Pearl Brewery serves interior street foods, and it's also a great people watching place.

Classic Tex-Mex: Mexican Manhattan. Brown gravy enchiladas, margaritas and a river view.

Contemporary Tex-Mex: Rosario's or Acenar, Los Barrios (either location), Aldaco's (Stone Oak location is better). All of these places also serve some more Northern Mexican dishes, too.

Oh, and I love Taco Palenque, too.

Rosarios, La Fagota, La Margarita, Pico Del Gallo, Pappacitos, Alamo Cafe, Mi Tierra, Tomatillo's


Johnny's Mexican food- New Bruanfels St., Browns Mexican Rest- S. Hackberry, Mittmans Fine Food-Mittmans St. Lil Fish Factory- W.W. White Rd. El Tipico- Rigsby

La Fagota, Tomatillos, Alamo Cafe,MiTierra...speaking from an Outsiders Viewpoint ..Whenever i get to SA these are all excellent places..And i am from an area over run with Mexican food...Any of thses are great choices..
