The time has come for Eater’s first-ever guide to Texas, wherein we choose the 38 essential restaurants in a state so immense it stands plainly as a region unto itself.
Sure, this collection includes singular steakhouses, barbecue standard-bearers, Tex-Mex strongholds, and cafes serving outstanding burgers, breakfast tacos, and kolaches. But many of the state’s defining restaurants also serve Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish boils, duck breast over mole coloradito, Italian bread dumplings with braised mustard greens, and Indian thalis (trays) filled with dishes like vinegar-tinged Goa pork and turmeric soup. Check out the map here or head over to the guide to read more.
