Coming your way gents

Visiting San Antonio? Lucky you my friend! It’s a great town with a great atmosphere and plenty of nice cars to ogle.

If during the week, your best bet is probably a visit to the local dealer, Barrett Motor Cars aka Ferrari of San Antonio. They are factory authorized dealers for Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar and Saab with interesting cars always available new & used (not to mention back in the service bays). Located on IH-10 west just inside the 1604 loop. I'm sure either Jeff or Tony will be glad to show you around.

For a great place to eat with authentic Texas Hill Country atmosphere, get back on IH-10 heading west after you leave Barrett for 2-3 miles to the Boerne Stage Road exit and go to Rudy’s Barbeque. And do *not* skimp on the sauce ;-)

 

Valeria raves about a little Italian place she found on the Riverwalk, I will see if she can recall the name...

 

Austin isn't too far away.

I strongly recommend Casa Rio, on the Riverwalk. I ate there when I was down there in February. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten.

 

Odds are is was Paesanos. Get the Shrimp Paesano...

 

Also Boudros....great food. As for Casa Rio... It's just typical Tex Mex...they were a client of mine. I was never overly impressed.

 

Agree, it must be Paesano's, which is quite good. If you want good Mexican (Tex-Mex) forget about the river. The places I would recommend in town for Tex-Mex are either Henry's Puffy Tacos (stupid name, good food) or El Chaparral in Helotes directly adjacent to San Antonio proper. PM me and I can give directions or other restaurant suggestions.

 

Agreed...el chaparral is great

 

I was pretty impressed, but that's just because I'm a DFW guy and I'm never down there.

 

I love me some ChaCho's for hole in the wall texmex.

 

Dolores Del Rio, and they have belly dancing....LOL!

Hmmm....reading some of the reviews in TripAdvisor, I retract this recommendation.
It seems they have had some issues, with Health Department.

 

Yes, that place was fun, but no more for me.

Downtown sucks for Mexican food. Hit up Mi Tierra or Rosario's. Would be my best advice.

Paesano's is good for Italian, but Il Sognio is worh the walk or cab ride (Pearl Brewery)

Luke is good for Foo Foo country

Biga on the Banks is good for dinner, Sushi Zushi is in the same building and is the best Sushi in town.

PM me if you need more help.

 

Thanks Wes!!

She said it was "dark" (meaning the lighting) now we know why!!!

 

If you are in town Wednesday, the Ferrari/Maserati store is having a lil car party from Noon to 6pm for the Maserati MC
