The holidays are in full swing, along with a revolving door of relatives, friends, and folks you barely knew in college. Unless you plan to spend all your time cooped up at home, you\u2019ll need our guide to the best San Antonio restaurants to take out-of-town guests.<\/p>\n

Whether you are looking for Alamo City standards like Tex-Mex and barbecue or want to treat your company to a puro photo opp, these spots show off all 210 has to offer and will keep your kitchen sparkling clean.<\/p>\n

For barbecue lovers: <\/strong>Reese Bros Barbecue<\/strong>
<\/a>Barbecue joints are rarely known for ambience, but you\u2019re here for the meat \u2014 succulent turkey breast, craggily barked brisket, and tender sausage link stuffed with queso fundido. Savvy hosts will order a second order of poblano mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese even if their guests say they don\u2019t have a big appetite.<\/p>\n

\"La No San Antonio holiday is complete without tamales.La Fonda on Main\/ Facebook<\/p>\n

For endless chips: <\/strong>La Fonda on Main<\/strong>
<\/a>Yes, this Monte Vista classic charges for chips and salsa in a town that considers the dish a public right. But that $3 comes with elegant digs, punchy chispa margaritas, and spectacular fajitas. Besides, the salsa cover charge comes with endless refills; you\u2019ll want to scoop the kicky sauce on everything.<\/p>\n

For the all-important breakfast taco: <\/strong>Con Huevos Tacos<\/strong>
<\/a>Choosing the right place for breakfast tacos is rife with stress, especially if your guests come from another taco-loving town. This Dignowity Hill haunt is a no-brainer, boasting pillowy flour tortillas stuffed with crowd-pleasing fillings like carne guisada, picadillo, and various combos of egg, meat, and cheese \u2014 all paired with a near-miraculous orange salsa.<\/p>\n

For stylish selfies: <\/strong>Liberty Bar
<\/strong><\/a>This former convent, now painted in a Caribbean pink, was practically made for glamor shots. Did you have that piloncillo goat cheese in Cuba or sip that Bloody Mary at a Puerto Rican resort? We\u2019ll never tell.<\/p>\n

\"The There’s plenty of room to frolic at The Cove The Cove\/ Facebook<\/p>\n

For the wee ones: <\/strong>The Cove
<\/strong><\/a>Kids can run wild at this perennial Five Points favorite, which includes plenty of room for romping and a backyard playscape. For the adults, there are healthier versions of pub grub like burgers and nachos. And the vast beer selection should muffle some of the playful squeals.<\/p>\n

For the \u201canywhere\u2019s fine\u201d crowd: <\/strong>Pullman Market<\/strong>
<\/a>Whether out of politeness or indecisiveness, the \u201canywhere\u2019s fine\u201d crowd can be a picky bunch. Why not let them choose their own poison? This expansive culinary market has something for everyone \u2014 juicy burgers, tacos, housemade pasta, mezcal cocktails, sandwiches, and ice cream to take on a Pearl stroll.<\/p>\n

For breathtaking views: <\/strong>Fairmount Oyster Bar<\/strong>
<\/a>In recent years, San Antonio has been on the rise with sky-high concepts like The Moon\u2019s Daughters, One Watson, and Tenfold Rooftop. Comparably, this oyster bar may be a short king, but views go better with a mignonette.<\/p>\n

\"Bohanan's Here’s your one chance, fancy, don’t let us down.Bohanan’s\/ Facebook<\/p>\n

For showing off: <\/strong>Bohanan\u2019s Prime Steaks & Seafood<\/strong>
<\/a>Want to prove your largesse is as big as Texas? This classic downtown steakhouse is all old-school luxury, from pitch-perfect dirty martinis to brie-topped escargot to tableside chateaubriand crowned with lobster tail.<\/p>\n

For a little holiday razzle-dazzle: <\/strong>Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia<\/strong>
<\/a>Stop being a sourpuss. Yes, this Market Square Tex-Mex staple is packed with tourists, but it\u2019s also dripping in metallic pi\u00f1atas and twinkle lights. If guests remain grumpy while eating a gooey slab of cheese enchiladas, that\u2019s on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The holidays are in full swing, along with a revolving door of relatives, friends, and folks you barely…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":457317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,26874,3990,17925,55487,7236,9734,167545,55712,73466,24546,7202,7203,17924,57137,9064,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,12211],"class_list":{"0":"post-457316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-barbecue","10":"tag-bars","11":"tag-burgers","12":"tag-dignowity-hill","13":"tag-downtown","14":"tag-east-side","15":"tag-five-points","16":"tag-margaritas","17":"tag-market-square","18":"tag-pearl","19":"tag-san-antonio","20":"tag-sanantonio","21":"tag-southtown","22":"tag-steaks","23":"tag-tex-mex","24":"tag-texas","25":"tag-tx","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-united-states-of-america","28":"tag-unitedstates","29":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","30":"tag-us","31":"tag-usa","32":"tag-where-to-eat"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115745151121511703","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
