COOKING WITH FIRE, SOUTH TEXAS STYLE Carriqui celebrates the South Texas tradition of drawing flavor from fire. Inspired by the flight path of our namesake bird, our menus feature regional favorites from the Rio Grande Valley, Texas coast, and the Hill Country. Nearly every dish is touched by the glowing embers of our custom-forged pits, smoker, or grill, all fueled by native wood. Along with housemade tortillas, cold margaritas, and warm hospitality, each meal is an opportunity to experience the vibrant food and spirit of our South Texas culture.

While service was great, the time it took to get our food was excessively long. After waiting 30 minutes for the food to “be plated,” it took another 20-25 minutes for it to come out. While the food was good, it wasn’t great. I’ve had much better similar dishes from other places in San Antonio at much better price points. Cocktails were amazing. Would come back just for the drinks and maybe an app.
