The Lone Star State just earned a few more stars — 15 to be exact. Michelin and Travel Texas teamed up to launch the first Michelin Guide Texas, and the inaugural stars were awarded in Houston earlier this week.

Plenty of San Antonio eateries received a Bib Gourmand Award for offering a high-quality meal at a reasonable price. Here are our winners:

  • Cullum’s Attaboy
  • The Jerk Shack
  • Ladino
  • Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery

Seven Alamo City restaurants were given Michelin recommendations — not quite a star, but a nod to culinary excellence:

  • 2M Smokehouse
  • Barbecue Station
  • Garcia’s Mexican Food
  • Leche de Tigre
  • Little Em’s Oyster Bar
  • Nicosi
  • Signature Restaurant

Finally, the main course. One San Antonio restaurant made history by receiving the city’s first MICHELIN Star and special award. Give a huge round of applause for Mixtli. This innovative Mexican eatery now has one MICHELIN Star to its name and was given the Michelin Service Award.
