San Antonio-Help narrow choices and add a few recommendations

Augies is not bad, but I've had better barbeque. There's a hole-in-the-wall on Fredericksburg and Calaghan that's probably the best in the city. I ate there with some co-workers for lunch and the only problem we had after eating there was going back to work smelling like smoke, but the food is exceptional. If they're still open, you'll' have no problem finding it once you're on that intersection- just use your nose. As for Mexican food, oddly, there really aren't many Mexican restaurants in San Antonio- most are TexMex. Rosario's on St. Marys and Alamo is a safe bet. So is La Margarita and Mi Tierra- both are in the Market Square district. Having lived in Germany for four years, I find German restaurants a tough act to follow in the states. Still, there's Old World Delicatessen on Babcock, and some others out in the town of Fredericksburg, west of San Antonio. Seafood is also better in places like coastal cities, but in San Antonio, there's Wild Fish on 1604 and Huebner which is good, but pricey. There's also The Water Street Oyster Bar on Broadway and Nacogdoches. Hope you enjoy your stay.
