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.
Four 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:
One San Antonio restaurant made history — give a huge round of applause for Mixtli. This innovative Mexican eatery now has one Michelin Star and was given the Michelin Service Award.
Mixtli has earned one MICHELIN Star and Chefs Hailey Pruitt and Lauren Beckman received the Michelin Outstanding Service Award.
