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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!!!
Excellent food, the best place to have Mexican!!! Went multiple times, quality of food is consistent.
Best food I've had in a long time. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fabulous meal and great atmosphere.
We went there today. Great atmosphere. Great food. Our server was great...bringing refills without even asking..very attentive
In town for a conference and had a wonderful lunch here today. The food is delicious. Highly recommend it and am planning to enjoy dinner here tomorrow!
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 🥲
