Rosario's

Frommer's Review

This longtime Southtown favorite, one of the first restaurants to establish a hip culinary presence in the area, has toned its menu down a bit; maybe owner Lisa Wong's adventurous urges have found an outlet in Acenar. But the airy room, with its Frida Kahlo and Botero knockoffs and abundant neon, is as fun as ever. And contemporary Tex-Mex fare, prepared with super-fresh ingredients, makes this a great choice for visitors to San Antonio. You might start with the chicken or chorizo quesadillas with guacamole or the fresh-tasting ceviche fina (white fish, onions, and jalapeños marinated in lime juice), and then go on to the delicious chile relleno, with raisins and potatoes added to the chopped beef stuffing. The large size of the room means that you generally don't have to wait for a table, but it also means that the noise level can make conversation difficult. I like to go to at mid-afternoon when the place is usually empty.
