Chef Sean and crew make some of the most authentic and freshly made street tacos on the planet. And you simply can’t beat the multi award winning, 100% agave frozen margaritas - only 3.50 during the 4-7 Happy Hour.

Seriously. The best cheese enchiladas on the planet are only four blocks away from the Maverick. If you’re looking for the real-deal, puro San Antonio breakfast or lunch experience - do yourself a favor - go to Blanco Cafe. And if Angela is working sit in her section and please tell her I said howdy!

My personal favorite spot to dine on the Riverwalk. Same owners as Zinc just a short walk away at street level. Both have superior food and service with a welcoming, upscale vibe.

The Oasis is like a Mexican Food time machine set to the 1970’s: A perfect, small, family owned San Antonio hole in the wall cafe.. One of my favorite spots for an authentic, old school enchilada lunch plate. They close at 3:00 and totally worth the short 10 minute walk from the Maverick.
