San Antonio made a mark at the Michelin Guide’s first-ever Texas awards, with Mixtli earning a Michelin Star. The event, held in Houston, also honored local restaurants with the ‘Bib Gourmand’ distinction for offering great food at good value. This recognition is a major moment for Texas, which has long been overlooked by the prestigious guide. Including San Antonio in the Michelin Guide is a long-awaited and exciting milestone for the city’s culinary scene.

, Hailey Pruitt and Lauren Beckham from Mixtli, proudly accepted the 2024 Service Award for their exceptional work in hospitality. Mixtli stood out not only for the star but as an establishment, with both the sommelier and bar director achieving outstanding service recognition. A myriad of other San Antonio-based establishments—such as Cullum’s Attaboy, The Jerk Shack, and Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery—also cut the Bib Gourmand distinction.
The Michelin Guide’s selection for San Antonio spans a wide array of cuisines and dining experiences. According to

, additional restaurants in the Bib Gourmand category include Burnt Bean Co. and Ladino. Furthermore, seven local restaurants have been selected for inclusion in the Michelin Guide, such as Nicosi and Signature, both applauded for their culinary excellence.
Across Texas, the Michelin stars seemed to have a special shine on barbecue joints, with Corkscrew BBQ and Leroy and Lewis Barbecue, both based in Austin, receiving the star treatment. San Antonio’s Mixtli adds to the Lone Star state’s new constellation of Michelin-recognized eateries. Mixtli, located at 812 S Alamo St STE 103, continues to impress with its progressive Mexican cuisine and now has the Michelin seal of approval to show for it.
The Michelin announcements are an endorsement of San Antonio’s growing food scene and its array of talented chefs and service professionals. The variety of honored restaurants reflects the city’s diverse gastronomic landscape, and with Michelin now turning its eyes towards Texas, San Antonio’s gastronomy is likely to become an even more prominent fixture on the national culinary map.
