"San Antonio’s sole one-Michelin-starred restaurant is one of the pioneers of Texas’s modern Mexican revolution. Mixtli started humble, serving ultramodern riffs on pre-Hispanic dishes like mole and tamales in a boxcar with only 12 seats. Now, it’s settled in a larger Southtown space, where it still explores Mexico’s vast culinary heritage region by region. Though chefs Diego Galicia and Rico Torres consider themselves culinary archeologists, they make room for modern pairings like strawberries and foie gras. If lucky enough to secure one of the scarce reservations, begin the evening by sipping mezcal at the adjacent cocktail bar." - Brandon Watson
