Mission

The name 'Mission' refers to several distinct locations across the United States, most notably in Texas and California. For frequent travelers, it is critical to distinguish between these cities before booking accommodation. Mission, Texas, located in the Rio Grande Valley near the Mexican border, offers a warm climate and serves as a gateway to South Texas attractions. Conversely, Mission, California, situated in San Diego County, provides a coastal vibe with access to beaches and local wineries. Other smaller communities named Mission exist in states like Oregon and Kansas. Because the name is not unique, travelers must verify the specific state or zip code to ensure they are staying in the intended location. Hotel bases vary significantly by region; Texas missions often cater to business travelers in logistics and agriculture, while California missions appeal to leisure tourists. Always double-check the destination details to avoid confusion.

la Barbecue

Restaurant Michelin$$52.7 km

la Barbecue was founded by the late LeAnn Mueller and is now run by her wife, Ali Clem. The large, custom-built pit in the backyard anchors the operation, while the interior is a simple space brightened by bold colors and a country-leaning soundtrack. Lines can build during peak hours, as guests wait to order a range of smoked meats at the counter. Brisket remains a central offering, alongside house-made sausages and pork or beef ribs. Sides and accompaniments, including slaws and pickled items, add some spiciness and contrast to the richness of the meats.

Hestia

Restaurant Michelin$$$$56.0 km

Push past the glass door of this restaurant in the heart of downtown and you'll immediately get the drift—quite literally, as wood smoke perfumes the air. This hot spot is all about live fire cooking, as evidenced by the 20-foot hearth in the open kitchen. Contemporary cooking is on display in both the à la carte and chef's tasting menu, and Texas produce and proteins take center stage. From savory to sweet, nearly everything is kissed by the flames or scented with smoke. "Embered" cantaloupe with green tomato and shiso blossoms is an elegant opener; and hearth-dried and blistered tomatoes ove

Craft Omakase

Restaurant Michelin$$$$56.4 km

Discreetly tucked away in Rosedale, Craft Omakase has a lounge up front with a dining room and counter in back. It is here where guests wisely place their faith in the hands of Chefs Charlie Wang and Nguyen Nguyen who dole out an impressive procession of nigiri and other bites. Their creative omakase doesn't shy away from embellishment, yet it's done with restraint and allows the fish to shine. An abundance of product hails from Japan, and the fish is skillfully handled. Preparations like an aguachile of pink shrimp with sweet potato or crudo of hamachi with a creamy grapefruit sauce with red

Barley Swine

Restaurant Michelin$$$$57.5 km

The room is decidedly casual, and diners are welcome to come as they are, but there's no mistaking the passion of this kitchen. They make deft use of local ingredients with a distinctly Southwestern palette of flavors that draws from Mexican and Southern traditions, while maintaining a contemporary, global sophistication. The tasting menu is carefully attuned to the seasons, and refinement is balanced with a sense of whimsy. Hiramasa with caramelized apple is a clever first bite that teases what's to come, from a wood-fired grouper with a creamy curry to wagyu tartare, ribeye and rib cap with

LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue

Restaurant Michelin$$58.5 km

LeRoy and Lewis BBQ began as a food truck in 2017 and has since moved into a spacious Garrison Park location. Run by a duo of married couples, the restaurant has a casual, midcentury-inspired feel, with its glazed brick exterior and open, peaked dining area. The menu expands on traditional barbecue, offering a wide range of smoked meats alongside tacos, sandwiches and daily specials, particularly after 5 p.m. While the kitchen explores a variety of cuts and preparations, the approach remains rooted in barbecue, with an emphasis on bold flavors and generous portions. Sides show a more creative

InterStellar BBQ

Restaurant Michelin$$70.0 km

The mark of a good place is when a line starts forming before they've even opened, and at InterStellar BBQ, it's long before they've swung open the door. Everyone is here for a taste of pitmaster John Bates's barbecue, done low and slow over post oak. Brisket with a simple salt, pepper and garlic rub is outstanding but it doesn't end there. Peach tea-glazed pork belly is meltingly tender; the beer-brined tipsy turkey is moist and delicious; and there are three sausages on offer, including kielbasa. You can't go wrong with any of the enticing side dishes like the Frito pie, though the smoked sc

Micklethwait Craft Meats

RestaurantBib Gourmand$$50.7 km

Is East Austin's Micklethwait Craft Meats good? Take one look at the crowd, with everyone from police officers and parents with kids to well-dressed locals, and it's a sure sign that this place is on point. Owner Tom Micklethwait is a master at central Texas-style barbecue, doling out luscious meat from ribs and brisket to sausage, pulled pork, and lamb. Juicy, smoky, spicy, and sweet, it's all good, no matter your selection. While it would be a sacrilege to skip the meat, the sides, including jalapeño cheese grits, and a standout potato salad dressed with cider vinegar, are good enough on the
