I recently spent 5 nights at The Hotel Contessa in San Antonio for a work related function. The Contessa's suites are spacious, which is key during a long stay. And it is conveniently located with quick access to all the activity along the Riverwalk.

Had a couple of decent meals along the Riverwalk with co-workers during my time in San Antonio.

I have to say I was underwhelmed by the Riverwalk itself and wouldn't target San Antonio for a personal vacation. But if you find yourself there, here are a couple of reviews on Yelp:

* Casa Rio

* County Line BBQ

Any place where you are first greeted by a man and his rooster is good with me.

We wound up at Mi Tierra by accident, only because Rosario's closes at 8pm on Sundays [wtf?]. What we stepped into was equal parts restaurant and carnival. Slightly more expanded review and some photos here.
