PICNIKINS

6901 Blanco Rd, San Antonio, TX 78216

Picnikins is a beloved San Antonio café that’s been around since 1988, serving up delicious, scratch-made sandwiches, soups, and salads. If you’re near Park North, this patio café is a must-visit! The current owner, Haley Sims, took over two years ago and has kept the heart of this neighborhood favorite alive.

One of the standout dishes is the roasted poblano soup. It features slow-roasted poblano peppers that are blended into a creamy concoction with just the right amount of heat. Don’t miss out on The Ultimate sandwich, which combines turkey, bacon, and avocado, all on a creamy base. The menu also includes a Southwest Burger topped with a unique tostada aioli and roasted poblanos.

BEST QUALITY DAUGHTER

Best Quality Daughter, located at the Historic Pearl, brings a unique blend of Asian-American cuisine that’s perfect for foodies. Chef Jennifer Dobbertin opened this restaurant in November 2020, inspired by her upbringing and her travels. The menu creatively mixes Chinese, Southeast Asian, and South Texas flavors.

Chef Alan Nelson leads the kitchen, crafting dishes that burst with flavor. A must-try is the Drunken Noodle Red Curry Mole, which combines wagyu beef, wide noodles, and fresh veggies in a flavorful sauce. For something savory, the Pork Belly served in bibb lettuce with pickled onions is a crowd favorite.
