When I lived in San Antonio, we loved to get a Mexican food fix at Las Palapas - there's a big one on the west loop not too far from Lackland. It's family owned and NOT on the River Walk and several locations. Or (if it's still there) near downtown, there's a place called Rolando's Super Tacos. They had HUGE soft tacos. My late DH always used to get 3 carne guisada ones at Las Palapas. Only tried that ONCE at Rolando's - one was enough LOL.
For BBQ, we used to live on Bill Miller's. They have peach cobbler to die for, as well. It's fast-food BBQ but good, fast, and relatively inexpensive - they're all over town, usually within a couple blocks of a fire-house, if that tells you anything
