Never count on free parking in downtown San Antonio. Just accept that paying for parking is part of the price of whatever you're doing.

I think the Liberty Bar is great, but it's toward the pricey end by the standards of my wife and me. Maybe that says more about us than the place.

I have not been to Rosarios in a long time. I remember the food as good, but it was noisy and service was horrifically slow.

Acenar would be one of the better Riverwalk choices.

Regrettably so, though the last time I was at Casa Rio (quite some time ago), it was better than most. As mentioned, Los Barrios and La Jacala are good, as is La Fogata on Vance Jackson. Truthfully, in San Antonio, most hole-in-the-wall taquerias are pretty good.

If you want something a little nicer, consider Ernestos, which is just outside Loop 410 on Jackson Keller, where Jackson Keller intersects Vance Jackson. You won't be sorry.

I second the mention of Shilos. If the weather's not too hot, consider their split pea soup with a bratwurst. They're also known for their root beer.
