FWIW One of the best meals I had in San Antonio was at Rosarios in the
university campus area?? The main dish was a Pipian, They only have some
fruit coffe but there is a small place 2-3 doors up the road that does
nice Expresso, I had a couple of good short blacks there while my mother
and Aunt sat in the car..I'll find the Address, A visit to ma Tiera is
also a must, its in the Mercado Area. Ask for the Menudo (Tripe Soup) I
don't generally eat tripe but I ate theirs, I also had a Cabrito dish
(young goat) mine was somewhat older than young.. so specify that you
want the 10 week old or younger kid..
