If you know nothing else about San Antonio’s history, know this: San Antonio is Tex-Mex. It literally is a blend of both cultures! It’s been a city in Mexico and it’s been a city in Texas and nowadays it’s a colorful blend of both Texan and Mexican culture. That’s why the best Tex Mex food in…
There’s an awful lot to love about the new watering hole, Otto’s Ice House, which recently opened adjacent to the Pearl Brewery.

It’s no shocker that the best Tex Mex in San Antonio is definitely not on the Riverwalk. Ask any San Antonio local foodie where to get amazing Tex-Mex, and 10/10 they will definitely not direct you to any of the busy restaurants on the Riverwalk!
