  • 1. Hot Joy

    $$ | King William Historic District

    Nationally acclaimed Hot Joy has an eclectic menu that occasionally calls for an adventuresome spirit. You can try a Mexican twist on Asian fare like migas fried rice or pozole verde ramen, or go for the consistent standouts like the twice-fried crab wings—chicken wings fried in crab fat. The authentic Spam fried rice is a surprise hit (although not to anyone from Hawaii). Wait times can be long, but you'll have the surroundings to entertain you. There's a wonderful cocktail menu and a good selection of beer. Ramen Monday is very popular, a good way to try various dishes at an affordable price.

  • 2. The Guenther House

    $ | King William Historic District

    This popular restaurant is housed in a stately 1860 home built by the founder of Pioneer Flour Mills. Breakfast is served all day, and options like fluffy Pioneer Brand biscuits, breakfast tacos, Southern sweet cream waffles, and delectable pastries are half the reason to eat here. The other half is the 1920s art nouveau decor of stained, beveled, and etched glass along with plant motifs that create the illusion of a fine home's conservatory.

  • 3. Azúca Nuevo Latino Restaurant

    $$ | King William Historic District

    If you want something different from San Antonio's usual Mexican or Tex-Mex offerings, venture south to find festive fare here hailing from the Caribbean, Spain, and South and Central America. Executive chef Rene Fernandez mixes up flavors and styles con pasion. Start with an appetizer sampler (five different apps) and move on to seed-crusted ahi tuna or meats basted with chimichurri, a tangy basil sauce. Tempting desserts include coconut flan, chocolate truffles made to order, and a dessert sampler with five of their house creations and homemade ice cream. Dance it all off with live salsa music and dancing Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended for weekend nights.

  • 4. Bliss

    $$$$ | King William Historic District

    Chef-owner Mark Bliss and his wife Lisa opened this spot in a former filling station in 2012, and since then it has just gotten better. The cuisine is contemporary American, and that can mean custom charcuterie as well as delectable entrées of seafood (maybe scallops, monkfish, or halibut), game (quail or rabbit), and beef. The menu changes fairly constantly. A loyal following dines here regularly to see what new offerings are on the table, just one reason that reservations are highly recommended. The clean, modern interior is warm and comfortable. The outdoor dining has the same uncluttered feel, surrounded by greenery.

  • 5. El Mirador

    $$ | King William Historic District

    Nuevo Mexican and traditional Tex-Mex flavors collide at this family-owned restaurant, a much-loved King William–district mainstay since 1967. Owner Dona Marie's mole enchiladas shine here, with the extra-sweet but smoky sauce designed to be sopped up by homemade corn tortillas. Shrimp and fish play a major role, bringing new life to tacos, nachos, and chiles rellenos. And if you've never had a breakfast taco, this is the place to try one in any of almost a dozen ways. A full bar during dinner and an outdoor dining patio seal the deal on a quintessential San Antonio eating experience.

  • 7. Pharm Table

    $$ | King William Historic District

    On a mission to reinvent health food into something more flavorful and inspiring, Pharm Table's plant-forward cuisine uses locally sourced produce with no dairy, wheat, refined sugar, or processed foods anywhere on the menu. To that end, Pharm Table incorporates smaller portions of clean animal proteins with an emphasis on nutrient-dense foods. Their approach must be working—they've been featured everywhere from the New York Times to USA Today.
