Carriqui San Antonio

Thought the salsa was outstanding. Among the best I've enjoyed. Barbados was nice. Wife had chicken enchiladas which were good. I'd go back. Waiter was a little over the top. Very nice place easy walk from Hotel Emma.

Food what great, I had the.. Smoked Texas Brisket.. brisket was 10/10 fall apart and lean, sauce had the right amount of spice. Topped with sweet pickles and pickled onions. So good. Beans were a puréed texture, rice wasn't heavily seasoned so over all the plate was very well balanced. I did have the spicy margarita which I LOVE a good spicy drink but I did feel it was overpowering. It took me a while to finish due to the spice so sadly I didn't get a second. My husband had the enchiladas calabasita which is the plate on the opposite side, can't speak for him but his plate was fully cleared off. There were mariachis playing absolutely loved that! Possibly add a couple extra umbrellas on the patio I did get a bit sunburnt. The patio was aesthetically pleasing for location of the Pearl. We got lucky with mariachis! Not sure if that's an every weekend thing. Overall great Sunday funday. + They do have brunch items we'll definitely be going back for the French toast. Bar top inside is enticing!

Nice place. Great atmosphere and well appointed. We were able to use the dedicated parking lot and we were seated upstairs. This was our first time eating here as we had only been here before for a happy hour event. The food was good, but I feel like I ordered the wrong thing. Lol! I had the fish which was quite good and I enjoyed the salad. The rice on the side was kind of plain, but about what I expected. The service was very good and so were the drinks in the appetizers. We will be back where I will take advantage of different food made on the woodfired grill.

We go here every time we're in the area. Highly recommend it as an apps / cocktail place. I've only had a few main dishes and weren't that impressed, but honestly it's fine because the apps keep bringing us back! It's the cutest place, kind of reminds me of a house in South Carolina or Hampton's, but then with a Mexican vibe. Service is ALWAYS great, everyone is absolutely the sweetest and so accommodating and helpful. We ALWAYS get the tuna tostada. CANNOT go wrong. The fish is so fresh and the sauce is spot on. It comes in a set of 2, but you can add another for an additional charge (if you have a group of 3, like we did). The corn cakes are an app, but basically a dessert. They're kind of sweet but the butter is savory! We also always get the chicken tortilla soup, found out last time you can get a cup or bowl even tho they don't (really) offer that. Ask anyway:)) Cocktails - get the Carraquillo if you like an espresso martini (it's not a martini but has coffee and orange and so yummy and fresh). Love the old fashioneds also, but the first one I had was toooooo pecan heavy. I asked the waiter and they completely remade it. The bar manager even thanked us for bringing it to their attention. Love that they didn't make me feel bad for raising a complaint. All in all, definitely recommend!

Dining at Carriqui was an experience that hit all the right notes. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm, vibrant atmosphere that's as welcoming as it is stylish. The space itself was gorgeous, and it's a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The service was impeccable - attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, but never intrusive. Carriqui is the kind of place you can visit for a casual yet elevated meal or to celebrate a special occasion. The combination of incredible food, creative drinks, and a laid-back yet refined vibe makes it one of San Antonio's standout restaurants. Can't wait to go back!
