San Antonio is a changing city, a fact most echoed in its restaurant scene. While family-run diners and taquerias once dominated the scene, more design-forward and cheffy restaurants are now setting the pace.
The latest list of newcomers is expanding the city’s palate with small-mill pasta, Thai chicken, and creative desserts. Meanwhile, Mexican cuisine remains the region’s obsession with upscale versions or regional fare.
