Was visiting San Antonio, Texas and happened upon Acenar. Everything was about to close for the night and we wanted Mexican food. They were getting ready to close but seated our party anyway. They could tell how hungry we were!?! As I scanned the menu, all the traditional dishes were there but I wanted something different. I settled in the seafood tacos and was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were unbelievable but they made the beans taste delicious as well. The beans!!!! If you like this review, like and share this review. Thanks and have a great day!

Great food. The short rib tacos and fried oyster tacos were amazing. Even the chips and salsa was phenomenal. Ask for a mezcal old fashion you won't be disappointed.

Food was incredible! That salsa is addicting. Service was great too! Overall it's a really nice place to get food in a less crowded area of the River Walk. … More
