Great atmosphere with modern-club interior design, located along the Riverwalk. Delicious Mexican food with chips and salsa served on tall vases and popular prickly pear margaritas. Happy Hour anyone?

Place is amazing! Sit outside on a nice day if you can. We got the "poquito de todo" with lime and goat cheese. Yum! Hubby got the tuna margarita (prickly pear) with chili powder.

This is a somewhat upscale Tex-Mex restaurant located along the Riverwalk. My food was excellent, and service was attentive without being annoying. There is outdoor seating overlooking the Riverwalk.

A sister restaurant to Rosario's that maintains the food quality though I prefer Rosario's. The chicken mole was lovely and rich though!!

The ceviche is good, and the outdoor patio is a great setting. A little removed from the busiest part of the river walk, which I found nice.
Lauren ArthurJune 10, 2014
So so good! I ordered something that involved rolled up fried tortillas, chicken, sweet potatoes and queso. And I crushed that plate!!! Delish and totally affordable!

The balcony was great on a September evening. Try the amazing duck crepes, jumbo prawn in garlic sauce and orange sponge cake with whipped cream!

We went with a party of 10. Great service, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Tortilla soup was excellent, and the Tres Leches cake for dessert was the best I've ever had.
Ryan TaubeJanuary 10, 2015
Awesome location. Cool place. Decent enough food. Fancy mexican. Definitely not the street tacos. All in all good spot on the river walk.
Todd StillwellMarch 28, 2017
Started out with the ceviche then for the main course I had the spicy shrimp (house special) it was fantastic.
Shannon LloydAugust 12, 2013

Lauren PriceAugust 29, 2014
Delicious margaritas! Sit at the bar - the bartenders are awesome!!!

Been here 10+ times
Great Riverwalk option for vegetarians. It's not on the menu, but they have some of the best veggie fajitas in SA + good veggie tacos. Mango-coconut-habanero sorbet is a must-have vegan dessert.
Jim UlleApril 22, 2013
Awesome bar with great good. The prickly pear margarita is fantastic. The decor is fun and modern and the staff is very attentive too.
Rob HSeptember 13, 2012
Our waiter Miguel might be the nicest guy I've met in a long time! Cold beer, good service, and the empatadita was fantastic.
Toni BlakeMarch 10, 2012
We had a private party there and they have a beautiful balcony and room! Nice choice for you if you need to get a group together.
Steven HartFebruary 10, 2013
For about $6 you can order three off menu salsas. A habanero, a jalapeño, and a chipotle. I love the first two.
Jim KinterJuly 4, 2015
Food was very good. Service was excellent. Valet parking is required and they only take cash.
Jon StrikerJuly 31, 2012
You have to try the duck crepes. Seriously good. Order along with it the blood orange mojito. You will not be disappointed.
Tony JacksonJune 16, 2013
Nice for date or chill at the bar upstairs. Away from the touristy part of the Riverwalk also, so quiet at night.
Robert NakamaJune 27, 2013
Try the Oysters as an appetizer. I had the Camarones a la Diabla / Spicy Shrimp that was delicious.
Jonathan HosterSeptember 30, 2018
Try the Copitas (lettuce cups) for an appetizer!
EricaSeptember 19, 2012
Definitely try the beef alambres during their happy hour. $5 and they are DELICIOUS! can't beat the price
Curtis GillentineJuly 13, 2017
The food & service were great, but I came to propose to my girlfriend. There was a large group eating inside & it was too loud to even think of doing anything like that. Had to wait till afterwards
Maria BirchallNovember 8, 2013
Contemporary TexMex. Great atmosphere and excellent food. The caramel crepe is amazing!
Xochitl ScottNovember 27, 2014

Laura PaulusMarch 24, 2012
Chips and salsa are delicious! Fish tacos are okay- nothing special. Get the pork cooked in banana leaves. Mmmm!!!!!!!
Megan RDecember 24, 2017
House Rita and the sirloin with shrimp and risotto. Yum!
Leona HenrySeptember 25, 2010
They have some awesome vegetarian food. The tres leches is amazing. Great outdoors eating when the Riverwalk is lit up around Christmas time!
Alfred BaggianiOctober 17, 2018
Great service from our server Marcus. Food was delicious.
Megan RJune 17, 2018
Anything on the menu is good. Great Tex-Mex!

Acenar is the sister restaurant to Rosario's - you can get many of the same delicious (and award-winning) items without the long waits if you make reservations on opentable
Ellie RahmanDecember 28, 2013
Gulf crab tacos, so good. Like the blood orange mojito too.
Chef Scott AndersonJune 13, 2013
Awesome food, try the Jicima shrimp taco! Out of this world good!
Sergey PrilepskikhOctober 21, 2014
Amazing food and charming Mexican live music
Wes GambleDecember 22, 2012
This place is great. Delicious food, just off the beaten path.
Melania SpagnoliAugust 24, 2015
Great guacamole made at the moment by your table!
Megan KaiserDecember 28, 2015
I've lived in San Antonio most of my life so I love Mexican food. Acenar has lovely waitstaff and atmosphere but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing is bad just really ordinary and plain. :/
Ryan FrazierJanuary 7, 2011
If you're looking for an appetizer, try the queso flameado! It's a flavorful, smoky spin on a classic favorite.
Priya TungrusMarch 29, 2016
Wasn't a fan of the mojito... Food was nice and on a quiet part of the river walk
Matthew TaubApril 15, 2015
Salsa is great. They have a really nice patio. Staff is friendly but service is kind of slow.
Farouq AldilaijanMay 19, 2017
New resturant to try. Nice place
Centro San AntonioMarch 15, 2010
Looking for delicious healthy tex-mex? (yes, it does exist!) Try Acenar's grilled fish tacos served with white rice and black beans.
Tanya P.August 12, 2016
Not overly impressive. Margarita was good, but fish tacos were very fishy. Enchiladas verde were tasty, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
Liz LeSeptember 9, 2011
Loved the ceviche, big patio and lack of tourists! Def a fave riverwalk restaurant.
Josh CareyApril 27, 2012
Best margaritas I had on the Riverwalk.
Maggie G.March 22, 2014
Shrimp tacos + sangria = riverwalk lunch
ElizabethJanuary 14, 2011
