Dining in San Antonio

[Gadsden]

Awhile back there was a thread about restaurants on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. The wife and I are going to be heading down there in a few weeks and I am trying to remember the name of the Mexican restaurant most here were recommending. Sure would appreciate any help y'all could provide.

Not on the river walk. It’s across the highway west in the market.

Find the most run-down place not anywhere near the riverwalk with metal corrugated roofing that hasn't been painted in twenty years with white pickup trucks pulling white horse trailers in the parking lot, (Texas Rangers). The best Mex food in San Antonio.

I was in San Antonio about this time last year. We didn't eat anywhere on the river walk, but we had a helluva good time.

I got to catch up with an old friend that I used to work with years ago. He's now the chief of the Alamo Rangers. I'm the robust feller on the left.

Here's a pic of him with the musician Phil Collins. Turns out, he's quite the Alamo historian/enthusiast .

When you go, be sure and stay hydrated and wear plenty of sunscreen. Texas ain't but 10 miles from the sun, ya know.

I had to Google Alamo Rangers. It says they are a security guard for the Alamo Trust, a non profit and do not have police powers to detain or arrest people. So my obvious question is, why are they armed?

The same reason a lot of other security officers are. The Alamo brings in tons of people from all over the globe. Some people like to cause problems and then again, some men just want to watch the world burn.

We aren't going down there until September. I'm sure it'll still be plenty warm, but at least it's gonna have the chance to start cooling off a hair or two.
