Went this weekend 9/23 with my family to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Food was very good drinks on point the atmosphere and the server Bob was very very nice. I loved that my family could be there self and have fun and the whole restaurant joined in to sing Happy Birthday when they brought out my daughters cake. My husband was surprised cause every restaurant we go to I always say it wasn't all that I could of done better this time I did not say that. I'm ready to go back.

Worth a trip!! The food is delicious. So much flavor in every bite.
The parrillada for 4 could easily feed 8-10.
The corn tortillas are AMAZING.
The salsa you get with your chips is delicious.
Next time we are in town we will definitely be back.
(Second photo is how much was left after 6 ate until full!)

Great Tex Mex on the riverwalk. Probably the best Tex Mex option on the Riverwalk. I highly recommend this restaurant. They also had a special menu option that consisted of Red Snapper that was extremely delicious. The chips and dips are not free, but worth the $2.00 we spent to eat it. Also, no refills on the salsa or the chips. Things are usually a bit different in Houston where this is always free and get replaced at no charge.
The fajitas here are really good. It is often hard to find good beef fajitas but this place had really good beef.
Only drawback is that this restaurant is at the end of the riverwalk where it is really quiet. For a while, I wasn’t sure if I was lost or not but we kept on walking and finally found it. It was worth the hunt.

This is a real 5 star review. When your Daughter who is not especially a fan of it and orders 3 different people items off the menu the 4 times we ent,, there is a 5 star point. When my wife just wants to know how to make all of the dishes, that is a 5 star reason. When I am ordering a sweet potato and chicken dish and want more!! 5 stars.
From the Fresh Chips and Homemade Salsa, to the Entrees… it was all so delicious! We have 4 very different palates, but the servers were all excellent and gave great recommendations.
I would recommend this establishment to anyone! The Drinks!! Also yes… the Ole Fashion. Amazing..
Please know this is a wonderful atmosphere and amazing food..

Unfortunately our experience wasn't very good. The host Abby was not very friendly, on the contrary she was rude and although we requested a table next to the water, she did not want to please us having three empty tables on that side, twenty minutes later the tables were still empty. As Florida tourists in Texas, I expected another type of treatment.
The food saved the night because everything was delicious. Congratulations to the chef. The atmosphere was also great.

What a great place to eat on the Riverwalk! My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our drinks. Service was fast and attentive, and people watching on the Riverwalk was perfect from our point of view. Definitely would recommend taking out of town guests or going on a date night here.

This place has definitely gotten better with age. I remember having a good experience years ago and I returned recently to have an even better experience. Our waiter was so courteous and attentive, and the food is spectacular! So delicious!!! It's worth the drive and worth the parking situation, because the food is great!!

Dropped in after doing the river walk, overall an exceptional experience. Staff was extremely helpful, making sure everyone knew what they were ordering. Clearly they know how to handle tourists. Food was perfect, especially for the price point. My only complaint, the drinks seemed to have been on the weaker side but they weren't overpriced either and they treated great so no real complaints here. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed myself here, and would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful dinner at Acenar. It has been one of the best Mexican restaurants we have been in. Food was great. And drinks were good. Service was attentive as well.
We had the mini skewers to start followed by short rib tacos, crab tinga tacos, and the pork tenderloin. We loved the short rib tacos the most as it was very flavoursome. I actually forgot to take photos before they were devoured.
For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse and tres leches cake (see photos). I would recommend the tres leches between the two.

Who knew that an Oyster Taco would make me tingle 🤭😍 Thank you, Brandon (our lovely server) for the suggestion! It was Yummy Legit! The margaritas were divine, as well...damn, I love a good margarita 🥲
Lindsay Platzek
Not only was the food absolutely yummy, we had the best waiter! His name is Richard and he was so fun to talk with, all his recommendations were spot on, and when we asked for the best dessert he brought us these amazing crepes filled with ice cream, whipped cream caramelized pecans and fruit.

My wife got the crab tacos- very good, the sweet potato hay on the crab tacos didn’t overpower but complimented the flavor of the crab meat. I had the roast duck empanadas- outstanding, the flavor was warm and complex- very delightful. And, the chipotle salsa was mild and refreshing. Great place to eat!
Javier Martinez
Highly recommend this place, food tasted fantastic, the service was great. Got great seats. I recommend the Chocolate Mousse, you can tell they take pride in the food. Just great place overall.
Shannon Atkinson Barbe
Great coconut margaritas but the cheese enchiladas and beef fajita meat were not good at all. Was looking for something somewhat TexMex and this dish was definitely not it. Waiter said the restaurant is TexMex but I don’t agree based on the menu selections. Very disappointed in the flavor.
Jack Lynch
Food was good, service was mixed, I was very happy with Ray. He helped out more than once despite not being our waiter, he probably ought to be the manager because there were a lot of things going on and he made everything work out. It got to a point where I and my family were asking for his name and wanting to write him into our review.
The food was ok but the drink menu had a lot of holes in it, things on the menu not available. Nothing was specially bad or good other than Ray, who really made the experience worthwhile. Promote that guy!
Courtney Prenzler
Stopped in for a quick snack & drink. Enjoyed two happy hour margaritas on the rocks. Some of the best margaritas we’ve had in a while. We also had the beef quesadillas, also on the happy hour menu and those were delicious as well. We will be back for a full dinner soon!

We are visiting San Antonio for the first time. Our second night here we wanted a nice sit down Mexican restaurant and found this place listed in a treble guide. After a reasonable wait I was treated extremely rude by the hostess, making us consider leaving. Our waitress, Marisa, turned the negativity away by being kind, helpful and attentive. The margaritas were amazing, the food was good and the vibe of the restaurant was fun and had a buzz to it with the chatter of the surrounding people.
Corina Tamayo
It was excellent! Nellie was our waitress and was awesome!! Very good service. We went next day and sat at the bar and Christina was the best! A great place to eat and drink!
Chip Follis
Great food & even better service. My wife ordered a frozen margarita. After she got it the bartender sent our waitress over to check and see if it was good. He was afraid it was a little watery because he was adjusting the machine (my wife said it was fine). Or waitress insisted the next one was on her.
Another waitress dropped a plate of food next to me. Accidents happen. A couple of small pieces landed on me & the table. I simply wiped it off and went back to our meal.
You would have thought I'd been shot! Our waitress, another employee & two managers came to see if I was o.k. It was really NOTHING. The manager INSISTED we have a dessert on him.
Needless to say, we were well taken care of & enjoyed our meal. We'll be back!
Jessica Cain
Loved it! Charles was our waiter and he was so kind and super fast! Food was amazing and the drinks were even better. Came all the way from NY!
Robin Seamans
It was such good food! Our server, Mike was so very nice. I had the fish tacos with the honey jalapeno sauce... Amazing!
My husband had the beef fajitas and the homemade tortillas were perfect. I'm glad I Googled you Acenar!!!
Sachin Thomas
Excellent food, the best place to have Mexican!!! Went multiple times, quality of food is consistent.
