Esensia San Antonio I Chef Leo Davila Mexican Chinese Fusion at The St Anthony Hotel

I got the chance to sit down with Executive Chef Leo Davila at the brand new, highly anticipated Esensia, located inside the historic The St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Born and raised in San Antonio, Chef Leo blends his Mexican and Chinese heritage into every dish, creating bold sweet-and-savory flavors that tell the story of his roots, culture, and journey. In this video, he shares how he grew up, the inspiration behind the restaurant’s design and menu, and the feeling he hopes every guest leaves with after dining. Esensia is where cultures, history, and flavor collide. The St. Anthony Hotel has been part of San Antonio’s story since 1909, and even features a room dedicated to the legendary San Antonio Cavaliers, making this dining experience deeply connected to the city’s heritage. What we ordered: • Masa sourdough, brioche & cornbread with compound butters • Farmer Brown’s Beets with goat cheese & sesame ginger vinaigrette • Tacos De San Antonio (Big Red barbacoa & pork belly) • Stone Pot with kimchi, brisket & Texas Chinese BBQ flavors • Peppers & Cactus with miso aioli & chili crunch • Wagyu Carne Asada torched tableside • Duck & Flower with hibiscus pecan mole • ‘Nanas & Cream dessert 📍 300 E Travis St, San Antonio, TX (Inside The St. Anthony Hotel) If you love chef stories, San Antonio restaurants, Mexican fusion food, Chinese fusion cuisine, luxury hotel dining, and cultural food experiences, this one’s for you.
