Food Scene

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant is run by a Thai couple. My very STRONG recommendation is the Spicy Mango Deluxe with Chicken. My friends always get the Pad Thai.

The BEST barbecue restaurant in San Antonio. I recommend the ribs (get about a one lb per person), sausage links (ask for them to cut it up for you), and the creamed corn. Add BBW sauce!

Best Tex Mex restaurant in San Antonio. If you are able to go on Friday -- get the Friday special. OTW -- get the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom. If you skip the drinks -- you'll be amazed at your low bill.

This is now called Taste of India. Run by an Indian couple. I think they have the best Indian food in SA. Great lunch specials (lots of food for $6+) and amazing dinner menu. Great value for the price

This is just a nice Italian restaurant. Although you have to stand in line to order your food (Italian and/or pizza by the slice), the quality for the price is outstanding. Owners came from Italy.
