James Beard Recognition

James Beard Restaurants in San Antonio

Michelin hasn't landed in San Antonio the way Beard has. Sixteen spots here carry national recognition.

Two Michelin One Stars, Mixtli and Nicosi, also hold James Beard Finalist 2026 nods, and both top our list. Below them, three Bib Gourmands and a run of Finalists and Semifinalists going back to 2012. Recognition isn't our rating — Biga's 2012 Finalist nod sits On the Radar, while several Damn Good spots never cracked a Finalist list at all. Every badge and score is here to check against each other.
