Essentials
This is probably the smallest H-E-B in existence but is gaining a lot of popularity especially for residents of downtown San Antonio. Aside from groceries and essentials, they sell some pretty good pizza and have a happy hour where your pizza comes with two beers on draft.

Highly recommend checking out the riverwalk. I wouldn't necessarily stop to eat or drink here considering there are better restaurants elsewhere but if you choose to do so you get a great view. Its worth checking out even if you're just walking through it.
