I used to live in S.A.**.
Unfortunately all of the "must eats" are on the other (north) side of town. Here's a link to a Google search for this often-asked question about S.A. restaurants: Tip: search "san antonio restaurants site:tigerdroppings.com"
The good news is that S.A. -- like most of Texas -- has an amazingly-good road system that will whisk you and hundreds of thousands of your closest personal friends to any where you want to go... at NASCAR speeds.
I see a Rudy's BBQ just up TX 151 from Lackland. It's a local chain, but is worth one visit if you've never been there. If you want to check the ancient gas station from which the slick new Rudy's stores have grown, it's a short drive (see above) up to Leon Springs.
** Oh, and never-ever call it "San Antone". It's worse than Yankees saying New OrLEENS, ugh. Gringos can't quite get it right, but the funniest local pronunciation I picked up was "SunANTuno", all slurred together.
Have fun and enjoy a margarita for me.

Not sure about now but when I was stationed at Security Hill in San Antonio they had really good and authentic ethnic food (Korean,Thai,Mexican etc) right outside the gate. I've found that to be the case at most AFB's that's where I would look if you like that kind of food.

Not so much near Lackland, but Mi Tierra is a must everytime we go to SA.
Rudy's BBQ is good
Also, the grocery market is utterly dominated by HEB, so if you are driving, go pick up some of their oversized muffins and some of their flour tortillas.
