10 SPE TODAY Dining Opportunities in San Antonio Overflow the Riverwalk Adam Wilson, SPE Today Editor San Antonio is known as the birthplace of Tex-Mex food, and the restaurant offerings in the city show why. But Tex-Mex isn’t the only cuisine that’s done well here. San Antonio is home to one of the campuses of the Culinary Institute of America, and diners benefit. Steakhouses, Italian bistros, and barbecue joints—many along the Riverwalk—all contribute to the wide offering of great food available. Here is just a sample of some of the delicious dining opportunities available. This list is by no means exhaustive, so look around; you’re bound to stumble upon a treasure. Biga on the Banks (American) www.biga.com 203 S. Saint Mary’s St. (210) 225-0722 The chef at Biga on the Banks works up a fresh menu every day in addition to the restaurant’s standard meals, such as grilled Ahi tuna and artichoke roasted pork tenderloin. The daily menu is a three-course meal complete with appetizer, entrée, and dessert and includes seasonal specials created from local growers. If you’re looking to try a bit of it all, the Chef’s Table is a five- to seven-course sampling menu offered to parties of eight or more. Bohanan’s (Steak, Seafood) www.bohanans.com 219 E. Houston St., Second Floor (210) 472-2600 Bohanan’s is consistently at the top of the list when it comes to steakhouses in San Antonio. Bohanan’s serves Akaushi beef. Akaushi cattle originated in Japan and are raised with an emphasis on a healthful diet and humane treatment, producing tender, juicy, and healthful beef. The elegant restaurant also offers live jazz to go with its cocktails and steaks from 1900 to 2230 Tuesday through Thursday. County Line (Barbecue) www.countyline.com 111 W. Crockett St. (210) 229-1941 Down the Riverwalk, next to the Hard Rock Café, sits The County Line, a funky roadhouse-style barbecue joint. Traditional Hill Country barbecue—ribs, brisket, chicken, and sausage—have been transplanted by this chain from Austin. In addition to the tasty Texas barbecue, The County Line may be the perfect place to stop for a refreshing afternoon margarita. Boudro’s (Texas, Southwestern) www.boudros.com 421 E. Commerce St. (210) 224-8484 Boudro’s is a staple restaurant in San Antonio, known far and wide for its intimate atmosphere and southwestern flavor, including smoked shrimp enchiladas, blackened prime rib, and seafood from the Gulf of Mexico. Boudro’s is set up to accommodate large parties or intimate meals, either inside or on one of its special river barges on the San Antonio River. Several restaurants offer meals on river boats so diners can enjoy more of the Riverwalk while they eat. Credit: SACVB photo/Berne Broudy. San Antonio is home to one of the campuses of the Culinary Institute of America. As such, it is also home to some of the best cuisine Texas has to offer. Credit: SACVB photo/David Swanson. Acenar (Tex-Mex) acenar.com 146 E. Houston St. (210) 222-2362 An innovative and contemporary Mexican restaurant and bar on the Riverwalk, Acenar presents meals “inspired by the history and heritage of Mexico and Texas.” The restaurant’s innovative design, both inside and on the patio, matches its cuisine. And its innovation continues up to its streetlevel bar, Átomar. Zuni Grill (Southwestern) www.zunigrill.com 223 Losoya St. (210) 227-0864 Zuni Grill, like many restaurants on the Riverwalk, sits at a picturesque bend in the river. Zuni’s spicy and colorful cuisine (the restaurant touts its fire-roasted salsa and Blue Corn Chicken Enchiladas) make for a bright dining experience. Zuni Grill is open for breakfast, too. Mi Tierra (Tex-Mex) www.mitierracafe.com 205 E. Guenther St. (210) 227-1061 Mi Tierra in Market Square is open 24 hours and keeps its Christmas lights up all year, too. The loud, colorful atmosphere is accented with strolling musicians and good classic Tex-Mex. Casa Rio (Tex-Mex) www.casa-rio.com 430 E. Commerce St. (210) 225-6718 Casa Rio opened in 1946 as the first restaurant on the Riverwalk. In addition to restaurant and patio dining, Casa Rio offers river boat dining. The boats can hold 20 people for dining or 30 people for a cocktail cruise. Reservations are required. La Gloria (Mexican) www.lagloriaicehouse.com 100 East Grayson St. (210) 267-9040 At the edge of the Pearl Brewery, La Gloria offers authentic Mexican street foods, the kind you normally only find from the street vendors and taquerias in Mexico. Here, you will find tacos al pastor like you would find in Mexico City and tlayudas like you would get in Oaxaca. Rosarios (Mexican) www.rosariossa.com 910 S. Alamo St. (210) 223-1806 Rosario’s Mexican Café y Cantina, where a colorful and loud environment and vibrant Latino art collection set the tone, is spicy all around. The door to the restaurant’s fresh Mexican food is opened by a sample of the restaurant’s award-winning salsa, and the heat continues throughout the meal. Bella On the River (Mediterranean) www.bellaontheriver.com 106 E. River Walk St. (210) 404-2355 Bella’s small and intimate wine bar and dining room reflect a small Spanish bistro or Italian grotto, with natural limestone walls and candle-lit tables. The menu includes delicacies and staples such as Eggplant Josephine, Calamari Fritto, grilled lamb chops, and Veal Scaloppini. This year, Bella on the River was named the San Antonio Express-News Critics’ Choice for Best Riverwalk Restaurant. Paesanos (Italian, Mediterranean) www.paesanosriverwalk.com 111 W. Crockett St. #101 (210) 227-2782 Paesanos sits nestled on one of the bends in the river. It has made a name for itself with its Shrimp Paesano and an extensive wine list to ensure that the right wine is paired with any meal on the menu. If the weather’s nice, take your dinner al fresco and watch the river and the world roll by.
