I live in San Antonio and I love a few places in the King William area which
is walking distance from the Hyatt or a short cab ride depending on how long
a walk you would like. The Alamo Street Theater Restaurant is on S Alamo
Street right in the heart of King William and it's open weekdays and only at
night weekends with dinner theater weekends. Weekdays buffet is $5.95 for
all you can eat of this wonderful home cooking. It's in an old church in the
basement. Also down the street at the old flour mill is the Guenther House
and it's right in the old house. You need to get there early weekdays or
have a reservation because people who work downtown go there. They have
huge cinnamon buns there for sale in their bakery. Lunches are the soup and
salad type with their own versions of things like tortilla lasagne. I also
enjoy Shilos downtown for a German type food but who comes here for German
food? On the Riverwalk I like Cafe Ole and there are a lot of good
restaurants there but more expensive and not as good as if you leave
downtown. More on the South side off Southcross (a much longer cab ride) is
Pesos. If you go near Lackland and Kelly AFB you can find some really good
authentic Mexican restaurants but you don't have the atmosphere of the
Riverwalk. The Market Square area has Mi Tierra and Margaritas which are
very touristy and the locals eat there too, as well as Pico de Guillo which
is across Hwy 35 from the Market Square.
