21 of San Antonio’s best under-the-radar restaurants

San Antonio has a wealth of highly praised restaurants, which is only bound to increase with the eyes of Michelin upon us. But the beautiful thing about being an increasingly recognized food mecca, is that plenty of our lesser-known restaurants are absolutely bangin’ too.

San Antonio’s food scene is an embarrassment of gluttonous riches, which perhaps is why our waistbands continue to expand like a CPS Energy bill.

Tuck in a bib and dig in.
