Diego Galicia and Rico Torres
Chef partners/owners, Mixtli
Diego Galicia and his chef partner and co-owner, Rico Torres, have been regularly recognized and praised by critics as leaders in the culinary community in San Antonio. Mixtli is the natural evolution to serve their next higher purpose—to re-embrace their heritage and to create.
Named Food & Wine Best New Chefs in 2017, Torres and Galicia earned multiple James Beard nominations, including a 2023 Finalist nod for Outstanding Restaurant and a 2025 Semi-Finalist spot for Outstanding Hospitality.
Mixtli became San Antonio’s first Michelin-starred restaurant in 2024, also receiving the state’s sole Michelin Service Award. Mixtli has also been awarded the AAA 5-Diamond award, Eater’s 38 essential Texas Restaurants, the CultureMap Tastemaker Award for best restaurant for the past three consecutive years and was named the number one restaurant by the San Antonio Express-News two years running and the #1 Mexican Restaurant as well. The pair has also been featured in Texas Monthly, USA Today, Travel Channel, The Outdoor Channel Hulu and more.
Mixtli is located at 812 South Alamo Street in Southtown. Like clouds, the menu travels from place to place offering a tour in Mexican gastronomy and will rotate quarterly. If the state has a border with the ocean, the Mixtli team starts the trek on the coast and works inland, bringing dishes specifically from that region or state. After each season, the cloud travels to other lands, and the team begins again with a new menu.
Torres founded El Paso FAMILY MEAL, an annual charity dinner for migrant families, and serves on the UTSA Libraries Advisory Council, using historical Mexican cookbooks to inspire Mixtli’s evolving menus.
