Today Eater returns to San Antonio, Texas to focus on ten newish bars and restaurants that have been garnering some serious buzz. It's been about seven months since the last San Antonio map, and this time around San Antonio Current food and nightlife editor Jessica Elizarraras has shared her picks for the hottest openings of the past year or so.
So what's hot in San Antonio? A chef duo is lighting up the San Antonio scene with wildly different projects: a ticketed, Mexican-inspired tasting menu 12-seater (Mixtli) and a relaxed gastropub (Big Hops Gastropub). Bars with great food are leading the pack, whether that food is of the Southeast Asian (Tuk Tuk Taproom) or offbeat pizza (Barbaro) persuasion. And some big local names are on the list, with a surprising concept switch (Umai Mi), a restaurateur's shipping container-turned-restaurant (The Luxury), and an acclaimed solo venture (Cured). Here now, and in alphabetical order, the Eater Heatmap to San Antonio:
