Suggestions for nice Mexican restaurant with Mariachi band in San Antonio? -

Have a Chinese friend joining me in San Antonio over the New Years holiday. I have been here many, many times. I was enthralled by the whole Mexican Restaurant Mariachi Band when I was a kid, but it sort-of grew old as I got older and I am out of touch with this whole scene.I know San Antonio is world renowned for its Mexican Mariachi bands... and I know that part of the S.A. experience is eating at a Mexican restaurant with a Mariachi band. My friend wants to do this... but I have no idea where to take him. Any suggestions?

Mi Tierra by El Mercado, or Casa Rio on the riverwalk. Mi Tierra has an unbelievable atmosphere. The food is not top notch, but it s decent and it s authentic. Casa Rio has much better food, and it s right on the river so it s really special. Both have mariachis.

Thanks for your recommendation!!! I am going to take him to Mi Tierra. It looks absolutely amazing... B-D Report Abuse

La Margarita (next door to Mi Tierra) has one too. I prefer them, and the prices are about a buck less per entree at La Margarita.

Mi Tierra in El Mercado, downtown San Antonio!Enjoy!
