Straight B. Ensures parallelism "San Antonio has ...than does any other city." Also, B is more crisp than other options, if you are a native speaker. Cheers, Der alte Fritz.

Re: Local residents claim that San Antonio, Texas, has more good [#permalink]

Although I am new to this forum, I agree with user SARAIGMAX .
The idea of the sentence is to compare the San Antonio to the other cities in the US. The use of the word "more" shows that the comparison to be followed, has to be done in the Superlative...
For me the Answer is (B).

When comparing an object to a group objects to which that object also belongs to, "other" is necessary to exclude itself from the group of things. Also, "any" is required as intended by the sentence to compare Texas to "any other cities"
Only B contains "any other city"
Also, we must preserve the verb.
Object A has more Thingies than Object B has/does.
Answer: B

Another question: is the "does" in answer b necessary ?
(B) does any other city
I thought that a "helping" verb such as does should be added only if this is necessary to clarify the meaning and otherwise it is "wordy". In this case, it does not seem that the meaning could be unclear without does :
Local residents claim that San Antonio, Texas, has more good Mexican American restaurants than any other city in the United States.
looks fine to me
