Love the San Antonio Riverwalk on a rainy and beautiful Friday afternoon…read more Came up for a short vacay and decided to visit this area for a few hours. Parking was challenging but found a lot that was a short area that led you to the Riverwalk. Started raining and it was so nice to sit on the benches under a bridge and listen to the rain.Not something typically get a chance to do. Tons of restaurants were open and not crowded . We went to Durty Nelly's an iconic Irish pub to listen to their pianist Definitely a more low key vibe on Riverwalk during the day since it gets crowded at night with tourists .Personally found it to be a perfect place for an afternoon getaway.

Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery in operation since 1941 is a signature restaurant in San Antonio, TX…read more Historic Market Square. Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

I didn't have to wait long for the items and the shrimp was tasty with the different sauces. I also shared a table side guacamole but it was a little too chunky for me. Other than that, the flavor was there. For my main, I ordered the blackened gulf fish with sides of roasted potatoes and veggies. The fish was delicious and veggies enjoyable; however, I did have to send the potatoes back due to them being cold. I did receive another order and it was warmer. My coworkers did enjoy their food as well. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the service was great!

Party of 1 on a Saturday at 2030…read more OVERALL Really good service/food/ambiance. SERVICE Seated immediately along the Riverwalk. Iced water provided as my server, Allen, greeted me. Allen also offered an ice water to go. He checked on me about 5 minutes after my food arrived. Check out was quick and easy. I needed replacement silverware since the first set had residue and the person helping me made sure to see the replacement set was clean before leaving. CHILI CON CARNE Meat was tender, chili sauce was well spiced and seasoned, not spicy, "cooled" me down during a 85 degree night. Pairs well with fresh cut onions, grated cheese, and saltine crackers included. GUACAMOLE SALAD Great size for a single serving. Taco shell is fresh. A single green leaf lettuce, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes. The guacamole was generous, fresh, and well seasoned. AMBIANCE Beautiful to sit next to the river at night and ducks swimming by. Many people who walk along the Riverwalk past you is spaced far enough from your table. The river boats past every 5-10 minutes but each boat operator has their own personality so it comes as entertainment. A mariachi band passed by asking if people would like them to play for them while dining, so additional entertainment.

The chorizo and ranchero sauce really made it stand out. The Mexican street corn on the side might have been even better. That stuff is seriously addicting like crack.

Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
