NOTE: After attending the 03/18/2005 game of the Spurs vs. Bobcats, this is the tackiest design for a professional sports arena I've ever seen. As far as I'm concerned, they should've stayed at the Alamodome.
This is the new home of the San Antonio Spurs (they use to play in the Alamodome) and the Silver Stars. Other events and shows are also held here including livestock and rodeo shows, and music concerts. As with any major entertainment event, bring money.
El Mercado is the largest Mexican market outside of Mexico. Aside from going there for the sightseeing and eating, there are also more than 125 shops selling Mexican and South American products, handmade jewellery and pottery as well as local crafts and souvenier items.
They also have many annual festivals and celebrations there.
The only real reason I can think of to choose Mi Tierra's over other local Mexican restaurants is if you get a hankering for Mexican food at 2 AM, or if there is some reason you absolutely positively cannot leave downtown. The food is okay, but San Antonio has so many cheap Mexican restaurants that if good Mexican (or Tex-Mex) food is what you're looking for, all you have to do is go out Commerce St. to far better restaurants for a far cheaper price.
If ambience is what you're looking for, well, okay, I guess, but I can still think of several others I'd go to first.
As we strolled along the river walk we read the menus posted in front of various restaurants. For fun we had appetizers in one, our meal in another, and desert in another. Can't recall names of them all.
We also ate at the shopping center where we saw the IMAX show. There was a Hooters there. Do look for the place that has chocolate pecan pie on menu near the riverwalk. It was the best desert.
Regularly, a volunteer of the visitors bureau tells the story of the Battle. He glorifies the role of each protagonist and finishes with a note of glory. Very moving.
I did not shoot indoor pictures in the Alamo because it was prohibited and even I am an unruly Frenchman I did not dare to take one.
Nearby, in the RiverCenter, the Imax proposes a re-enactment film (45 min) for 8$. at 9AM, 11AM, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 7PM.
I have recorded the 2 films about Alamo : the one of John Wayne which is far from the truth and the more recent one (2004) which fits better with history .
