“Imagine Hamburger Helper, but spicier, punchier and even more luxuriously creamy,” Priya Krishna wrote about the San Antonio restaurant’s offering.<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Mac and cheese fans listen up because a creamy and spicy San Antonio dish has been recognized in a “Best of 2025 Dishes” article by the New York Times.<\/p>\n

The NYT Food staff visited 33 states and tried more than 200 meals in their quest for the best this year.<\/p>\n

Of those hundreds of dishes they tried, NYT only has 23 of those on their list, and one of them you can only get in the Alamo City.<\/p>\n

Cheesy and delectable, 2M Smokehouse<\/a>‘s Picadillo Macaroni and Cheese cracked the illustrious list.<\/p>\n

“Imagine Hamburger Helper, but spicier, punchier and even more luxuriously creamy,” Priya Krishna from the New York Times said. “It\u2019s not easy to one-up the singular, thickly spiced brisket here, but the picadillo mac and cheese \u2014 which runs as an occasional special \u2014 holds its own and then some.”<\/p>\n

Mac and cheese sides are $6 for 8 oz., $9 for 16 oz. and $15 for 32 oz. at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

There was only one more Texas dish on the list which was the Bad Honey Bunny at Mercado Sin Nombre in Autin.<\/p>\n

2M Smokehouse<\/a> is located at 2731 WW White Rd.<\/p>\n
