The lot doesn't look free anymore. We paid 8 bucks to park last time down the road.

The prices reasonable?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm sure we will dine a couple of times.

Sounds like Caso Rio it is. Do they serve lunch?

Ive heard of Casa Rio. I wonder if we would be able to get in on Friday night.

If you need a quick lunch while driving in or out of town, I can't recommend Chester's enough (burger joint, very good and not expensive - also has like 400 types of beers).

I love a good burger. I'll be armed so no beer for me unfortunately.

Wife and I are headed down there for a much needed weekend getaway. We would like to eat somewhere on the river walk but open to suggestions anywhere in San Antonio, don't wanna break the bank either. We are staying close to Leon Valley just north of 410 in an air b&b.
