" Tucked away beside the Riverwalk, Acenar is a hidden gem! I went there with friends recently, and we were blown away by how good the food was for the price. I tried the enchilada trio, which was incredible. Each enchilada had a unique flavor, and they were generously stuffed. The only downside was that it was slightly noisy because of the crowd, but the lively atmosphere is part of the charm. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend visiting during the week for a quieter experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Acenar with high expectations after hearing rave reviews. The ambiance was delightful, and I enjoyed the live music that played while I dined. However, I felt the food could have been spicier. I had the beef fajitas, which were tender, but a bit bland for my taste. I did appreciate the generous portions; it was enough for a satisfying meal. Overall, not a disappointment, but I expected more in terms of flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes when I visited Acenar after hearing so many great things, and I was not disappointed! The guacamole prepared at our table was fresh and perfect. I ordered the seafood enchiladas and they were delightful, loaded with shrimp and crab. The location is beautiful for an evening meal, and the staff was very attentive without being intrusive. I left feeling happy and satisfied. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The location of Acenar on the Riverwalk is stunning, especially at night. The food was very good, but some items were a bit overpriced for what they offered. The drinks were fabulous though. Just a tip: make a reservation if you plan to visit during the weekend as it gets crowded. Despite the minor issues, I’d still recommend the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" While in San Antonio, we tried Acenar and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My husband loved the beef fajitas, and I was pleased with the shrimp tacos. The service was friendly, albeit a bit unhurried. The ambiance was perfect for our family outing, especially by the river view. I’d recommend making a reservation if you plan to come on a weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Acenar has become one of my go-to restaurants when visiting San Antonio. Every time I dine here, I'm never disappointed. The crab tacos are always a hit and the margaritas are perfectly balanced. The only downside is how busy it can get, especially on weekends, which might require a longer wait for a table. However, the food is worth the wait every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long day of exploring San Antonio, we decided to grab dinner at Acenar. I was impressed by the vibrant decor and lively atmosphere of the restaurant. The fish tacos were the highlight of my meal—a perfect blend of flavors. My only complaint is that it was a bit noisy inside, but it contributed to the lively ambiance. I will be returning, that's for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
