Heading to San Antonio and I'm looking for the best restaurants to try while I'm visiting. Open to all types of food! What are your top places to eat?
For breakfast: The Guenther House Restaurant, Magnolia Pancake Haus, or Green Vegetarian Cuisine- they are all fantastic!
For lunch/dinner: Paloma Blanca Mexican Cuisine, The Big Bib, Mina & Dimi's Greek House, La Fonda On Main or Cappy's
Mentioned in this answer:
The Southtown area has some great breakfast at a older place called the Guenther House Restaurant. You can always go for a walk around there. There's also good pizza at Stella Public House and gelato at South Alamode Panini & Gelato Company or check out some chic mexican/tex-mex with live music Rosario's Mexican Cafe Y Cantina, or some taco trucks Alamo Street Eat Bar. Kimura has some great rice bowls. Cured has some good drinks and pricey charcuterie.

Bohanan's Prime Steaks and Seafood on the River Walk is the best Steak in San Antonio.

Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia on the Market Square
There are a lot of really great answers here.
For the best overall experience, then I would go with 926 S Presa St. The food is amazing, and the service is outstanding. If it is cool enough to sit on the patio, then don't miss that opportunity!
For a fun relaxed vibe, check out the food trucks at Alamo Street Eat Bar. There are always several great options, and if there is a big game going on, it will be on the big screen.
For an authentic Mexican restaurant, check out family run Taqueria Datapoint, which started out as a food truck, but has grown into a sit down restaurant.

The company I work for is based in San Antonio. After 13 years with them, I think I've stayed in and eaten at nearly every hotel and restaurant!
Breakfast: The Guenther House-personal favorite, love the sweet cream pancakes and the gift shop upstairs. It is the C.H. Guenther's founder's home, a national history building.
Latin on or near the Riverwalk: Creative, central American cuisine/Cuban at Azuca Nuevo Latino. Acenar-Awesome table-side guac and great atmosphere. Love the mole enchiladas.
Good food: Luke for oysters, especially at happy hour. Biga On The Banks for creative cuisine.
My all-time favorite: Bliss. Tell the executive chef/manager (Dorian) that I said hello!

If it's still there try Barn Door Restaurant, great steaks
There are tons of great places to eat in SA. Recently Alton Brown visited one of my favorites Hot Joy! And if you want an authentic Tex-Mex experience nothing beats Me Terria at El Mercado Snack Bar!
All these places are local, Try them out!
Koi Kawa Japanese Restaurant Is my go to and absolute favorite. Japanese food at its best, its a hidden gem in the Broadway Boardwalk.
Green Vegetarian Cuisine They serve vegan/vegetarian meals that you can't find anywhere else in the city. Try the Eggplant Parmesan, you wont be disappointed.
Bakery Lorraine Is great for breakfast, freshly made pastries, bread, and coffee.
Pasha Mediterranean Grill serves up delicious mediterranean dishes. Naan comes with every meal and meats are cooked over an open flame for everyone to see.
Tito's has what i'd like to think is the best Mexican food in town. Tortillas made daily, grilled fajitas, and a good variety of enchiladas.
Armadillos Texas Style Burgers for all your burger needs, Texas Style
