In a testament to the diversity and quality of San Antonio's food scene, six local eateries have been distinguished as part of Favor's Best in Texas 2024 awards. The statewide recognition, drawn from a pool of orders and consumer feedback, was reported by FOX San Antonio, noting the variety of winning cuisines ranging from savory Tex-Mex to rich Asian influences.
These San Antonio gems encompass a range of flavors that reflect the city's culinary richness, as covered by KSAT. Notably, founded in 1937 and steeped in decades of tradition, Teka Molino still pleases with its Tex-Mex offerings at its established locations, including 7231 San Pedro Avenue and 1007 Rittiman Road. Established for serving up traditional Vietnamese pho, Pho Win secures its spot with a formula that has endured the test of taste at 12830 Silicon Drive.
Americana with a twist is celebrated at Orderup, where street food-inspired dishes keep the menu fresh and customers satisfied at 999 East Basse Road. Bringing over ten years of Italian service to the locals, Tiu Steppi's at 9910 West Loop 1604 continues to dish out comfort in Italian style. And then there's Smoke Shack BBQ, a mainstay for barbecue enthusiasts, which also has the distinction of being featured on KSAT 12's Texas Eats show, all while dishing out smoky flavors at 3714 Broadway. Sharing the limelight, Bird Bakery, which specializes in family recipe treats like cupcakes and cookies, brings the sweet end to the list and is located at 5912 Broadway Street.
36 restaurants statewide across various categories have been recognized by Favor Delivery's award list, reflecting the appetite Texas holds for culinary excellence. The San Antonio restaurants that garnered acclaim ensure that whether it's American, Mexican, Asian, Italian, BBQ, or dessert, good food is just an order away. With a palate for authenticity, Texas continues to support local establishments that not only feed but also enrich the community's culture and spirit.
