, and they have a huge tequila selection. They’re fairly pricey as well. Friday breakfast was at Blanco Cafe again. I really liked the migas. Friday afternoon we walked over to El Mercado and I had fish tacos in one of the...

The nice thing about San Antonio is the little trolley, you take the Blue one from downtown to southtown and have Rosario’s, Mirador, Azuca, China Latina, Cascabel, Tito’s – all next to each other. The Red...

For great food, I’d recomment the Berlin Bar. I was blown away by the quality. The chef told us they started the restaurant in desperation to find good food in San Miguel.

I have to go to San Antonio for a conference in early April and am looking for hot tips. I’m from San Francisco so have had my fill of trendy. Looking for good steak/barbeque/ethinic foods/regional specialities. I’ll...

standing around trying to decide what do do, I remembered seeing an article in Texas Monthly that featured the best tortillas in Texas, so I checked Eckerd’s magazine rack and found the issue. In the section on San Antonio...

On our last full day of Buenos Aires, we headed up to San Telmo to wander around, soak up some atmosphere (i.e. get catcalled by a pack of middle school boys during their recess time), etc. After wandering up from Plaza de Mayo,...

Any mercados sell it in bulk, not in packaged bricks? For that matter, as long as we’re asking, where’s the best mejicana produce in town? Nopales? Huitlacoche? Tomatillos? Any suggestions appreciated...

Any ideas for a relaxed and moderately-priced place for a family reunion dinner? Needs to be centrally located, (suggestions on that welcome too — maybe Riverwalk or Mercado area?) Either Tex-Mex or BarBQ, nothin' fancy but...

Good stuff KR... what they completely ignored is that these supermarkets are overpriced compared to the traditional mercados etc.,... but I guess most San Diegans wouldn’t feel comfortable shopping in non-plastic...

I don’t know where you are from, but most towns in CA have a “latin” quater. Walk into any real "Mercado" or Panaderia, you may need to speak spanish, and you’ll find real, handmade tortillas or, at least,...

I’ll be in San Diego for a few days in February. I’d like to find some great Mexican food that’s vegetarian, i.e., no lard in the tortillas, beans, etc. I love burritos, but other Mexican food is fine too. Any...

You’re in for a fabulous foodie time, and of the best sort, from high end (Arzak) to the simplest pintxos (tapas) it’s almost hard to find bad food in the Basque country. For San Sebastien, La cuchara de San Telmo is a...

of town and you can find the address in the local phone book. Mercado Del Mar — This tiny restaurant is a pain in the ass to find. It is right on the main highway (just outside San Jose) but their lack of a sign makes it a...

Thanks for all the SMA recs. As one poster noted, the restaurants are mediocre. In general, the smaller places that cater to the locals are better than the tourist places. Our favorite steak place was Ole Ole on Lareto near the...
