Today on Texas Eats NOW: <\/b>Texas Eats 2026 (KSAT 2026)LA FRITE BELGIAN BISTRO<\/b><\/p>\n

728 S Alamo St, San Antonio, TX 78205<\/b><\/p>\n

La Frite Belgian Bistro is San Antonio\u2019s premier Belgian bistro, bringing European bistro culture to the heart of Southtown for 17 years. Built on a foundation of Belgian heritage and culture, the welcoming atmosphere is intentional \u2014 guests are encouraged to linger, chat with neighboring tables, and feel at home in what the owners describe as San Antonio\u2019s European dining room.<\/p>\n

The kitchen, led by executive chef Luis Nahara, is known for its mussels above all else, sourcing Prince Edward Island mussels fresh three times a week and going through over 200 pounds weekly. Beyond the mussels, the table rounds out with dishes like a Belgian endive lettuce salad, a steak au poivre, and a duck confit, one of the few San Antonio restaurants to carry it as a permanent menu item. Daily prix fixe specials rotate alongside the regular menu, giving returning guests a reason to come back throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Texas Eats 2026 (KSAT 2026)CANDY\u2019S OLD FASHION BURGERS<\/b><\/p>\n

115 Plaza De Armas, Ste 107, San Antonio, TX 78205<\/b><\/p>\n

Candy\u2019s, formally known as Candy\u2019s Old Fashion Burgers, is a downtown San Antonio institution built on a simple premise: old-fashioned burgers packed with flavor on every single bite. Founded in 2006 by Tony Vasquez, a lifelong restaurant worker who traced his inspiration back to the classic burger spots of Austin\u2019s East 1st Street where he grew up, the restaurant has since become a true family affair. Tony\u2019s daughter Melissa took over ownership two years ago, and her daughter \u2014 the third generation \u2014 now helps run daily operations, having grown up inside the restaurant since she was a baby.<\/p>\n

The burgers are made with 100% fresh, never-frozen local beef patties cooked old-fashioned style \u2014 thick and juicy, never smashed \u2014 and always served on toasted buns loaded with tomatoes, pickles, and mustard. The Royale is a standout, a single patty piled high with smoked bacon and extra cheddar cheese, while the jalapeno cheddar cheeseburger features grilled jalape\u00f1os for a measured kick. The crowd favorite, though, is the chili cheeseburger \u2014 topped with the restaurant\u2019s own blended chili and melted cheese that folds into the burger like a second sauce. The menu also extends to hand-breaded shrimp, tater tots, fish, french fries, onion rings, and a blackened chicken sandwich, rounding out a full menu of no-frills, deeply satisfying eats.<\/p>\n
