Made a reservation for valentines dinner and enjoyed our experience. We had seating a little above the river level. The outdoor seating was spacious and had enough privacy. Will our server was great. We had the mango margaritas, queso, chipotle chicken and chicken mole. We enjoyed all of it. For dessert we had the flan and tres leches. Everything was delicious

Disappointing Experience at Acenar
We visited Acenar at the River Walk and were very disappointed. The service was horrible. Our waiter had an attitude and seemed uninterested in serving or answering questions. After taking our order, he never came back. We had no silverware or water for a long time. We had to ask for silverware after serving food. Same with water. We were seated near the bar area, which had a lousy atmosphere and was noisy. Bartender was helpful and trying to serve us whenever he got few seconds free time from bar. The food was okay, but the poor service ruined the experience. Not worth the price or the hype. Two stars only for the food.

Another great find. Kinda elevated Mexican cuisine I’d say. You won’t leave hungry, everything seemed to be made with quality ingredients. Our server John was very attentive without being overly attentive. We had the dinner fer 4, OMG (see pic). We’ll be back!

We came across this place while taking a stroll around the Riverwalk.
It looked very busy but, we were seated inside quickly. Our server took the time in pointing out the best things to try out and made sure that the kitchen knows about our allergies.
While the food took a while to come out (quite natural during rush hour over the weekend) it was absolutely fantastic, we are from Amarillo and we had high expectations about the cuisine down here in San Antonio and this restaurant, did not disappoint.

This was my second time at the restaurant but the first time my wife and I dined here together. Our waiter was Marcus. He was absolutely phenomenal. He answered every question we had and took excellent care of us. The food is the best tex-mex on the Riverwalk, maybe in all of San Antonio! Do not pass this place up! The enchiladas are some of the best I have ever had at any tex-mex restaurant hands down. The rice and beans are superb. My wife had the snapper and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The cilantro lime rice and the veggies that came with it were incredible! I had the cheese enchiladas and added a chicken enchilada. Absolutely the best! We will be back each time we visit San Antonio. I added a bonus photo of the first time I visited. I got the tres enchiladas that time. Just as perfect as this time around! And don’t forget to ask for fresh serrano peppers! I almost forgot to mention that the chips and salsa are great but if you ask for flour tortillas they are excellent! This place does not disappoint.

Love it; great Tex Mex food. The Crispy Carnitas were phenomianal. The menu has many great options. Food came out hot and quick. The Mixology behind the bar deserves calling out – best margaritas – very good time!

We had a great late diner at Acenar. The Ceviche was delicious and so was the parrillada. The Sangria was delicious. Our waiter Max was wonderful.

My first night in San Antonio and was referred to this restaurant. The atmosphere was so inviting and filled with so many guests having a great time together.
I ordered the house margarita which was a perfect accompaniment to the Chipotle Chicken served with house made black beans, roasted corn white rice and sauteed spinach smothered with cheese which was underneath the grilled chicken breast. The Chipotle Sauce topped the chicken and spinach. The Chipotle Sauce was creamy and left a nice hint of the Chipotle at the back of my mouth that was absolutely delicious. This is a must go to restaurant that you need to experienced. My waiter Johnny was friendly and made sure to ask how my meal was. Promptly serving my drink and entree. Excellent location on the Riverwalk with both indoor and outdoor seating.

In a city with many other phenomenal Mexican restaurants, I would strongly recommend avoiding this one. Service was abhorrent, and we waiting way too long for drinks—one of our guests waited upwards of 20-30 minutes for their first one.
The food felt reheated and really mediocre, and the tortillas tasted anything but fresh. Chips had no flavor and glistened with oil—I could see my reflection in them.
The house margarita tasted like it had some sort of sour mix or way too much sugar. It was really quite bad.

I seriously cannot wait to come back here. Everything my husband and I ate was absolutely delicious and the staff is sooo friendly. Also, we sat outside at night and the vibe was amazing. 10/10 recommend and would try again. I wish I remembered the name of the server, he was great.
