The Spanish influence on architecture is everywhere you look in San Antonio from the missions to cathedrals to the parks. Tex-Mex food is served in every other restaurant on the River Walk. The people are so friendly and welcoming.
We had breakfast at Charlie Wants a Burger Sports Bar. I had 2 tacos with fresh made tortilla shells, one sausage and egg and the other chorizo and egg. Both were amazing.
We used a hop on - hop off open air double decker bus to see the city. First stop was Market Square El Mercado, a Mexican dining, music and shopping area of downtown.
We had fun walking through the dozens and dozens of shops. Streets were filled with food vendors, face painting, entertainers and shoppers. We tried a shredded chicken gordita and warm churros.
San Antonio is full of color. We noticed so many walls painted with fun colorful murals.
For an afternoon snack and a chance to rest our feet, we stopped at Texas Land and Cattle on the River Walk. The brisket nachos were super delicious. The margaritas were pretty good too!!
We finished off the night with a 35 minute open boat tour of the River Walk. This was only $10 per person and a perfect way to see the abundance of shops and restaurants. I can't express enough how incredibly clean this part of the city is.
16561 steps and now it is time to plan tomorrow. Good night San Antonio.
Wow! Sounds like fun and the food looks delicious.
