Mixtli
Mexican · ★ Michelin
$$$$
This trailblazing restaurant is from the visionary minds of Chefs Diego Galicia and Rico Torres. The acclaimed duo has fine dining chops but it's a shared reverence for Mexican cuisine that is the real driving force behind this endeavor. Tasting menus shift often, focusing on a different part of Mexico and may offer up cutting-edge interpretations of Oaxacan specialties or a meal focused on the cuisine of "Tierra Caliente." Not content to restrain their explorations to the regional diversity of Mexican cuisine, the menus also draw from the culinary past or even pre-Columbian times. Expect cook

Isidore
American, Steakhouse · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Located in San Antonio's historic Pearl District, Isidore is a stylish spot with a midcentury modern feel complete with an open kitchen and live-fire hearth. Named for the patron saint of farmers and laborers, there is a clear focus on Texas ingredients and local traditions, even incorporating Native American elements into the bread service. The menu is large, with items intended for sharing and a section dedicated to steak. Narrowing down your snack selection isn't easy, but the popcorn chicken, crispy fried with popcorn aioli and velouté, is a good bet. Cherokee tomato in a house-made kombuc

Nicōsi
Creative · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Saving room for dessert isn't necessary at Nicōsi because this daring tasting menu celebrates the final course exclusively from start to finish. Nestled inside a dark, moody space hung with velvet curtains off Pullman Market, this theatrical experience is a true surprise, as there is a strict no photo or phones policy for all guests at the L-shaped counter. The multicourse meal tends to follow four themes—acidic, umami, bitter and sweet—and the team rarely repeats dishes from one season to the next. The creations are edgy and imaginative. Think mille-feuille of Fat Tailed Tomme cheese crackers

Mezquite
Mexican, Regional Cuisine · Bib
$$$
In a city brimming with Mexican restaurants, Mezquite zigs while others zag. Don't expect the typical Tex-Mex here. Instead, this restaurant in Pullman Market with a sun-bleached, desert-inspired decor spotlights hyper-regional Sonoran cooking. The menu begins with seafood and ceviche along with a section devoted to tortilla y más. Offering an array of spreads like cebolla asada with grilled onion, chili toreado and black garlic accompanied by paper-thin flour tortillas. Pick a protein, perhaps the free-range chicken with pipian rojo, which comes with a flurry of sides sized for sharing. Rich

Ladino
mediterranean · Bib
$$
This welcoming San Antonio restaurant is a gem in the Pearl District. With an expansive terrace seating overlooking a verdant courtyard, the kitchen delivers creative, boldly seasoned dishes from across the Mediterranean. A wood-burning oven cranks out hot rounds of sourdough pita to pair with the likes of fire-roasted corn with labneh and sivri pepper or summer squash with grape-leaf chermoula. Seasonal fare figures prominently, and even Romano beans with fermented tomatoes pack far more flavor than you’d expect. Another must-order: Beef and lamb dumplings coated in a sauce of yogurt and smok

Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery
American, Southern · Bib
$$$
Set within the historic Pearl brewhouse at the base of the Emma Hotel, Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery blends its industrial past with a lively, modern dining room. The expansive space draws a steady mix of locals and visitors, with the bar offering views into the working brewery. The menu reflects a Texas-focused approach, with Gulf seafood, Southern influences and comfort-driven dishes such as snapper throats with remoulade and the East Texas crawfish roll, served with spiced fries. House-brewed beers anchor the beverage program, rounding out a setting that is both relaxed and distinctly ro

Little Em’s Oyster Bar
Seafood, American
$$
Cute as a button, this breezy seafood hangout is dressed head to toe in cupcake-pink and white frosting. A spacious patio deck doubles the size of the dining room and is shaded by surrounding trees. The menu matches the décor, starting with a revolving selection of oysters and moving into light and bright preparations of seafood and salads. It is hard to imagine stopping by and not ordering fish tacos or, even better, a lobster roll served with herbed fries. A glass of rosé completes this summery daydream.

Cullum's Attaboy
French, American · Bib
$$
Set in a little bungalow that’s as cute as a cupcake, this brunch-only, walk-in, counter-style bistro off the St. Mary's strip can do no wrong. Snag a seat at the counter and watch as the open kitchen dabbles in affordable French luxury with the likes of proper omelets and a whole lot of butter, hollandaise, truffles, and caviar offered at every turn. The menu is the right size. Think doughnuts dusted in powdered sugar that rival the best beignets or sandwiches stacked with smoked brisket, egg, and cheese served on beautifully bronzed rolls made in house. One unexpected sleeper hit is the brea
