 Multicultural cuisine with live music |
4001 Broadway San Antonio, TX 78209 United States +1 210 824 0100 |
This little restaurant is tucked away so well, you almost don't notice it. The multicultural cuisine makes decisions a challenge. Pasta, tapas, seafood, Mediterranean specialties and vegetarian dishes populate the menu. If you indulge, the award-winning wine list is extensive and offers several choices for even the most discriminating palate. Live entertainment, usually jazz music, is featured each Friday night. A more limited, less expensive menu is available for lunch. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Coffee, wine and sinful desserts |
3011 N St. Mary's St San Antonio, TX 78212 United States +1 210 738 0099 |
If you don't love sinful desserts, delicious coffee and fine wines, then perhaps you should choose another place. Otherwise, enjoy them all while curled up on a big comfy couch, poised at an antique table, or relaxing on a shaded patio. This coffeehouse and wine bar is one of the best kept secrets in the city. As is common in this part of town, Candlelight draws a mixed crowd. For a conservative city, this establishment is decidedly gay friendly. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 A San Antonio favorite |
1900 Blanco San Antonio, TX 78212 United States +1 210 735 3552 |
This burger joint on the city's near-Northside has been cranking out burgers for 23 years. Some people may think that a burger is a burger, but they probably haven't been to Chris Madrid's. A consistent winner of various critics' polls over the years, the restaurant won the 2006 local newspaper's Best Burger award.Like a lot of local burger places, this spot is decidedly low-tech and high-taste. The Cheddar CZ is its signature meal, but you might want to try the devastatingly good bean burger, too. Add an order of fries and a cold beer, and you are in hamburger heaven.

This restaurant offers casual family dining at reasonable prices and is a favorite among the locals. For that down-home cooking—the kind your mother used to make—you must try the fried chicken, pot roast or fried catfish dinners. For dessert, try a slice of the triple-layer German chocolate or coconut cake. If it's pie you want, the coconut cream pie is quite tempting. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Inexpensive Mexican cafe |
521 East Woodlawn San Antonio, TX 78212 United States +1 210 734 8964 |
This inexpensive, friendly, family-owned-and-operated Mexican food favorite is the perfect spot to recuperate after a hard night on the town. It is also a great spot to meet friends and hang out. The mariachis, which play every Saturday and Sunday, are sure to lift your spirits and can make even the grumpiest person show a grin. The wait staff is constantly busy, but they are friendly and speedy. The Menudo is reputed to cure the worst hangover, and the Huevos Rancheros are legendary. Try the Tacos Loco, which come filled with potato, eggs, beans and sausage, or the amazing enchiladas. No matter what you order, you will leave with a smile on your face and a full tummy.

 Most interesting atmosphere |
3624 Broadway St (near Witte Museum) San Antonio, TX 78209 United States +1 210 822 9211 |
Hung Fong is one of San Antonio's oldest Chinese restaurants, and it continues to serve up satisfying Szechuan, Cantonese, Hunan and Mandarin style cuisine year after year. You don't just eat in this restaurant, you experience its aura. American and Taiwanese neon flags exude a dominant presence, while pictures made with huge(and real) butterfly wings rest comfortably behind plexiglas frames. You have to see 'em to believe 'em. The restaurant offers both lunch and dinner specials. At night, order a la carte or from several combination plates starting at $7.79. Family dinners are popular choices and serve from two ($15.49) to six people ($46.19). Beer and wine are served, and child's plates are available for the wee ones. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Excellent Chinese food in the Brackenridge area |
3304 Broadway St San Antonio, TX 78209 United States +1 210 824 6878 |
King's Palace is located two blocks from the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, just north of downtown. It has great food and friendly service. The restaurant is simple and clean, with sections separated by large fish tanks containing beautiful exotic fish. The menu has all of the usual Chinese fare, as well as a few of the restaurant's own creations. The wonton soup is fresh and flavorful. Try the sesame chicken for something sweet, or the Mongolian beef for a tasty, traditional flavor. Lunch and dinner plates come with fried or steamed rice, an entree and an egg roll. Delivery to downtown hotels is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
