Animatronic Davy Crockett Plays Fiddle on The Alamo at Mamacita’s Tex-Mex in San Antonio

While on a quest for dinner tonight in San Antonio, Yelp pointed me in the direction of Mamacita’s, a cavernous Tex-Mex restaurant setup as a faux Mexican town where people have dinner in the zocalo under a starry sky. That in itself was pretty bizzare, but what I didn’t expect was an impromptu performance by an animatronic Davy Crockett playing fiddle on the top of a replica of The Alamo.

It’s like a Tex-Mex Chuck E. Cheese.

Oh and the food was great, especially the tortillas that were made a few feet away.

Here are a few photos I shot at Mamacita’s:
