I'm going to Austin and San Antonio Texas next week and would like to know of any good places to eat. As long as it's good food that's all that matters. Thanks :-)

I wish I could help, but it's been 50 years since I lived near San Antonio. They have all the chains and lots of Mexican restaurants, oriental restaurants, you name it. One of the best Mexican places my husband and I ever ate in was Viva Max!, but I think it went bankrupt. I heard it just moved, but Gene and I could not find it. My DH has been gone 4 1/2 years now, but a seafood fast food place we liked was Barnacle Bill's on U.S.281 and Loop 1604 on the north side of S.A. I think there are other locations, too. Just south of the airport, they have renovated an industrial area and there is lots of shopping and restaurants there.
Have fun on your trip.

Whenever I go to an unfamiliar city I google the city I am going to. Try googling San Antonio restaurants. You should get a good list, and often you can read reviews from the locals as to the quality, price, cleanliness, etc.

A lot of people like a place called Hoover's in Austin. Lots of foood and it tastes good.

I lived in San Antonio ...and between Culebra and Ingram (it's on the west side of the 410 loop) is a place called Bennigans ... the best food there ever! It's a small bar and it sits behind Texas Roadhouse.

We ate there every payday ... the food is great and the service was good ... I always went in and would get the food to go ...

I so so miss San Antonio!

Absolute BEST Mexican food restaurant is in San Antonio at the Mexican Market called - Mi Tierra. Great food, great atmosphere, live entertainment, and the prices are reasonable - at least comparedto other places in San Antonio.
Have a GREAT time.
