I came across a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Susanas in Southtown today. It had 5 stars with 40+ reviews so I gave it a shot. I had the enchiladas verdes and they were legit. The family

I'm in San Antonio a lot for work, but not R&R.  I'm thinking about taking my wife to San Antonio for a weekend in January to celebrate her birthday.  Where's the best place to camp out for a couple days, with restaurants and bars in walking distance?  The Pearl?  Downtown?  La Cantera?  

Sorry if this topic is covered earlier in the thread, but too lazy to scroll through the last 50 pages.

I figured, but thought I'd ask, since I didn't want to assume anything about The Pearl on the chance it was Domain-ish.  Will book at Hotel Emma.  What's good to eat around there?

 

Southerleigh serves good food. 

the pearl is very centrally located, short uber to many good places and plenty within the pearl compound 

hit a bill millers for some fine iced tea

Prickly Pear Marg from Southerleigh with some snapper throats will change your life.

In the actual Pearl: Mon Chou Chou is probably my favorite, Southerleigh and Cured are also good. Not as big of a fan of Supper in the Hotel Emma, but it's fine. I don't think the food is great at La Gloria, but it's a nice patio for a margarita by the river if the weather is good. Curry Boys BBQ on St. Mary's Street is walkable (~15 minutes). It's not upscale but the food is fantastic and original.

Supper fucking sucked when we went. Mon Chou Chou is great.

Our preference is South Town so we stay at The Inn on the Riverwalk. It’s a bed and breakfast establishment. Rosario’s, Mixtli, and The Maverick are an easy walk. If you are comfortable walking in that area, there is Bliss, Hands Down, and Casa Hernan. Lots of other new bars in King William.

Some pretty big projects starting to move.
 

 New airport terminal project broke ground this week. 

Old SAISD building redevelopment on Alamo in Southtown got approval from the zoning and historical commission.

The city is moving forward with “plans” and feasibility studies for new downtown sports complex by the Hemisphere.

Mon Chou Chou was very good, went for Sunday brunch like a month ago.

I echo Mon Chou Chou. I would also recommend Ladino (mediterranean) and Best Quality Daughter (asian), on the level with Cured and well ahead of places like Southerleigh, Supper, and La Gloria. The pizza spot in the food hall is good, and the new burger place in there looks solid, although I haven't been. Bakery Lorraine for breakfast is great.

If you want to range beyond the Pearl proper, I would avoid Carriqui or Down on Grayson. Josephine St. is fine if you aren't looking for anything fancy. But my recommendation would be to walk south on the river to Tres Trattoria for a decent Italian spot. It's a shame Allora shut down because that place was fantastic.

Gotta go to Greeks now for the best steak in town. Fortunately someone bought the sign and it has been saved.  

I might try it the next time I am in Victoria but I've been meaning to try out The Pump House for my next visit.
