The 22 Restaurants That Turned Us Into Dedicated Regulars in 2018 | Bon Appétit
"Every year I find an excuse to visit San Antonio, and every year I am dazzled by the vibrancy of that city's dining scene. There are so many places to love but, this past visit, I fell for one of SA’s more old-school spots: a Mexican restaurant called Cascabel. I visited on a rainy Sunday, and was immediately charmed by 1) the colorful murals on the walls and 2) the amuse bouche of fideos (slinky noodles in the chicken-iest chicken soup) that every guest gets. I mean, I could have just eaten bowls and bowls of the fideos and been happy. But instead I feasted on chilaquiles soaked in salsa verde, and squash blossom quesadillas topped with crumbled cotija cheese, and black beans that tasted like they had been stewing for days. I have been thinking about this meal for months and months. I can't wait to go back next year. Hopefully sooner rather than later." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
