Restaurant suggestions near the Majestic Theater in San Antonio

We're going to an 8 pm show there on a Thursday night in April.. are there any suggestions for a VERY near-by restaurant? (My husband can only walk a block or two, so either we have to drive/cab to two locations or find something very close.) We would want something where we can be in and out in 60-90 minutes (not a multi-course chef's tasting menu) and maybe something local, like Tex-Mex or chicken-fried steak. Thoughts?

    I know many have mixed feeling about Acenar but I love their duck tinga chalupas.

      Nothing else that caught my eye. Houston Street Bistro would be a good option for someone who can't walk far, Luke is a few blocks away. Bohanan's better food, but big bucks.

        Thanks, Saeyedoc! I think I'm going with Bohanan's, as it was on my short list anyway, and they'll have Jim Cullum's Jazz Band that night, so I get a three-for-one! Now I just have to make sure we don't eat so much we go into a food coma during the play afterwards!

        Houston Street Bistro is underrated and I think very good and is probably the closest, you don't have to cross the street! Make a reservation as it gets very busy on show nights.

          Luke is .1 miles away. One of John Besh's restaurants (New Orleans chef). One of the better restaurants in that area.
          Bohanan's is even closer (<100 feet), but very expensive and may take too long, unless you eat at the bar.
          We're going to a show there tonight, will keep my eyes open for other suggestions.

            Thanks! Luke sounds good, but I'd appreciate anything else you spy.
