    🍽️ Our first stop is Rita's, an authentic Tex-Mex gem that promises to take our taste buds on a wild ride.

But that's not all - she also tackles what can only be described as the Godzilla of margaritas. Everything truly is bigger in Texas, and this margarita is no exception!
    Baby H is joining the Tex-Mex party too! Watch as she takes her first-ever bite of Tex-Mex deliciousness - a Cheese Quesadilla that's sure to melt hearts and taste buds alike.
    Join us as we navigate the flavors of San Antonio's River Walk, trying Tex-Mex for the first time! Will our British taste buds survive the heat? There's only one way to find out - hit that play button and come along for the ride!

      Dead's second comment is exactly mine: "always complimentary AND IF IT'S NOT, LEAVE." Actually, TexMex joint's biggest expenditure is CHEESE. Meats are second. And I find most TexMex joints have roughly similar meals. The distinguishing feature is always chips & hot-sauce. Maybe 2 or 3!

    I am a 75 year old native of San Antonio and I still get just as excited as you are when I get a good plate of Tex-Mex. Tex-Mex is its own food group. My first restaurant dinner was at La Fonda on Main when I was one year old. I had refried beans wrapped in corn tortillas, still one of my favorites.

    My mother met a couple from England, befriended them, and invited them to Beaumont Texas for a week long visit. I took them out to eat Tex Mex, and had them get mixed fajitas (steak chicken shrimp). They had never had Tex Mex before, which made fajitas perfect. I said "Take a tortilla, and build it however you like it!" You like steak, with grilled onions, refried beans and cheese? Build it like that! Want to do chicken with sour cream, chip salsa and some guacamole? Go for it! Because they could put what they liked on it, and essentially built their own fajitas, it took all the pressure off me ordering something they wouldn't like! That, BBQ and Cajun food were their favorite foods in Texas! So glad y'all loved the Tex Mex!!

    Texan here. The green in the enchilada sauce comes from a base of tomatillos, which are tangy but not spicy. Red sauces are usually tomato based. The heat in green (verde) sauce come from the addition of peppers which are typically green and can be mild or spicy depending on the species, so green doesn't always mean hot.. The most common peppers used in restaurants are usually either jalapeños or Serranos. Restaurants usually shy away from the super hot peppers as only a few brave souls enjoy the intense heat. I'm glad you have enjoyed ourTexas cuisine!

      My dad was a native Texan and I've lived here since '86. Grew up with red sauce enchiladas and picante and always associated green salsa with New Mex-Mex rather than Tex-Mex.
      I'm a huge fan of green enchiladas and salsa mostly due to the long gone Tia's Tex-Mex chain, specifically the store in Richardson.

I currently live in Colorado, and just salivated the entire time during this video--I so miss San Antonio, Tex-Mex, HEB, Taco Cabana, Bill Miller, turnarounds, frontage roads. I've literally been around the world, and Texas is something unto it's own--there's no place like Texas. I'll be planning a trip back to San Antonio tomorrow.

    (Last comment, I promise)
    Some advice for counteracting the heat of hot chilis: If the given establishment offers milk in its soft drink list, ask for it -- the casein in milk does wonders for dialing-down that temperature. Water (or any watery drink with no milk-content) will not help. Alternatively, if they have any kind of ice cream or yogurt dish in their dessert menu, order it and ask for it to be served with your main course
    Also, I'm a Marylander. If you've yet to visit this small Mid-Atlantic state, please do come here on some future trip to the U.S. and sample our proudest culinary concoction: the crabcake sandwich. If you haven't been to Maine yet, I'd highly suggest adding that state for another future stateside culinary foray to try their signature sandwich: the lobster roll -- a very minimalistic submarine-style sandwich featuring lobster tail meat served either slathered in hot butter sauce or with a dipping bowl with that sauce in it. There are places in the "Down East" part of this state that serve this dish fresh-off-the-boat!

    The blessing of living in San Antonio is that there is so many great Tex-Mex restaurants. Also besides refried beans we have two types of beans with liquid. Charro and Borracho made with Shiner Bock. The green enchilada sauce could be salsa verde or a tomatillo sauce

    While fajitas have been served in Mexico for a long time, the were "brought" to the US, by a lady named Ninfa Lorenzo in Houston about 50 years ago. So glad you enjoyed the River Walk in S.A. I'll bet Mrs. H was a happy gal if she finished that margarita!

    When you come back to San Antonio, plan on going to Rosario's for Mexican, and make sure to make a reservation. It's about a mile southeast of the Riverwalk and is AMAZING! All of the best San Antonio foods are away from the Riverwalk in IMO as the Riverwalk is very touristy and chain food oriented. There is a long list of incredible restaurants that San Antonio has to offer that are not on the Riverwalk. BTW, that margarita look soooo good! It look like it has orange or orange liquor added.

    Hi to my favorite family across the pond. I lived in San Antonio for most of my life. Ritas is good I noticed you got a shiner. Shiner is a Texas brand the family migrated here from Germany then they started the brewery. Shiner is beloved by many of us down here and I love that it comes to German roots. With that little history lesson the surrounding areas of San Antonio as well as San Antonio itself has some amazing German roots. I wouldn't shy away from local breweries while you visit this area in Texas, most of them have restaurants inside of them. There in San Antonio should be Alamo brewing company and Freetail brewing. I know there's others but that's off the top of my head. Enjoy your stay as always God bless y'all!

    Chips and salsa are frequently complimentary. They are often salty or spicy. This usually keeps the drinks flowing. Kinda the same purpose as free peanuts, chips, or popcorn at a bar.

    You said you want to come back. Remember there are 50 states and wonderful places all over the United States. Don't forget about New England and the Upper Midwest, also Pennsylvania and Virginia are nice, the South and the southwest and the northwest. South Florida and the keys and Key West are really great, And Nashville Tennessee and New Orleans Louisiana. And all of our national parks are a must-see. There is also a Alaska and Hawaii and many Tropical Islands! Don't forget about the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and Sequoia National Park with the giant redwoods. So much to see. You should also take Elana to Disney World in Florida! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻

    Mrs. H, let me tell you, THIS is what I wanted you to experience. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I mean, you can't really go wrong with beef fajitas, but green chili chicken enchiladas are my personal favorite.
    The sauce that came with the tortilla chips was the house made salsa, probably tomatoes, onions, ancho chili, fresh coriander (cilantro) salt, pepper, maybe garlic, maybe jalapeno ... blended.

She took us to San Antonio and it was awesome. We ate so much great food, toured the city all day and ended our day at The Magic Time Machine. Food was great but the environment was so much fun. If you do go back, check it out. We had a blast.

    If y'all go back to San Antonio Riverwalk you should stay in the Druiry Inn, it's where I stayed when I traveled for work there regularly. I brought my family often. You can get a suite with a separate bedroom. They have complimentary full breakfast and they have a social every night where they serve something like tacos or spaghetti, which is also complimentary. Bring a babysitter so y'all can go enjoy some adult entertainment too. There's a comedy shop that's great, and several hockey tonks.

    Texas is the transitional gateway (of food) between the Southwestern US and the Southern US. The food is very flavorful, but isn't as heavy, like found in the South, and you start getting flavors like you would find in the 6 southwestern states (NM, AZ, NV, CA, CO, UT).
