Angus, the lovely Ms. Angus, and KG Mungowitz met for two very nice meals in San Antonio. Dirty Davey had asked, and I wanted to echo Angus's recommendation in comments.
Two fine restaurants in San Antonio.
Biga on the Banks. Very fine. And accommodating. Ms. Angus had a request "Give me the duck, only substitute chicken, and then hold the chicken" (you'd have to know her, it made sense at the time, it really did), and the waiter didn't flinch. Angus, having a touch of a food allergy (if he touches this food, it makes him really sick), had some requests that were handled deftly. And the food was terrific. We talked for an hour after paying the bill, on a pretty busy night, and they didn't bother us at all. Quite an upscale place, with nice atmosphere, on the River Walk, but not really pricey for all that.
Acenar. Angus heaven. Perfectly good food, better than good, in fact. Very fresh, very Mexican, right on the River Walk, moderate prices. And the colors and furniture all look as if they were designed by Dr. Seuss. I really, really liked their grilled fish tacos. But it looked like everything was good.

The cabrito (baby goat) dish at Acenar was excellent.
But the best meal I had in San Antonio was the bbq brisket tacos at King Willies BBQ(about 3/4 mile from downtown on S. Alamo)! OMG!! I had 4 of 'em ($2.50 each) washed down with mucho Sol beers ($2.50 each).
I fly out tomorrow--sadly I'll be in the air while the Tar Heels are on the court.
