Por Vida is a local program that certifies restaurants based on creating healthy environments in the following areas: healthy menu options, implementation of environmentally sustainable practices, and community development initiatives.
Expected outcomes: This free program promotes local restaurants and food services establishments by helping the community identify or build a healthy meal while dining out. It also promotes and encourages sustainable environmental practices throughout the culinary industry. By 2026, the goal will be to have 48 new restaurants participating in the Por Vida program.
Por Vida is a 3-tierd certification program: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Gold certified restaurants receive a San Antonio City of Gastronomy decal and certificate. In 2023, the gold certificated restaurants received a Community Impact Award by San Antonio's Mayor- Ron Nirenberg.
