Dinner Buffet Fajita Bar

When I think of wonderful San Antonio all I can think of are the best fajitas I have ever eaten. The food throughout Texas is memorable but San Antonio holds a top rank in my book. It is also a beautiful city with delightfully friendly people. Another favorite Texas spot for me is Austin – it gives new meaning to a thriving and picturesque college town.
