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.

    I love that the restaurant has exclusive parking. Secondly, the hostesses were very friendly and accommodating. We requested to be seated outside; it was the most beautiful and comfortable location we could have had. Our waitress, Meg M, was super friendly and attentive. Our strawberry margarita and the carriqui margaritas were superb! We had tuna tostadas and ceviche, which was enough for two people. We had to pass on desserts but not on the margaritas. 🍹🎉It was the best time to reconnect with a long-time friend. We both enjoyed having lunch at Carriqui and will come back. Overall, the food, the ambience, and the service made our meeting special. Thank you!

    Every visit to Carriqui is great but Tuesday is the absolute best! Taco/Tequila Tuesdays are my most favorite times to visit, and I think you would agree!

    A Masterclass in Hospitality at Carriqui Dined on March 2, 2025 Carriqui never fails to impress, but last night’s experience at the bar was something special. Dining alone can sometimes be an afterthought at restaurants, but here, it was an immersive journey into the heart of Texas hospitality. Jordan, the restaurant director, took the time to share his deep knowledge and passion for the building’s history, walking me through photos and details that brought the space’s rich past to life. It was clear from the way he spoke that Carriqui is more than just a restaurant—it’s a labor of love. The bartenders upheld that same dedication, providing an unbelievable level of service. Every drink was crafted with precision, and their attentiveness made the experience feel personal and elevated. From start to finish, it was clear that every member of the team is committed to making Carriqui not just a meal, but an experience to remember.

    Service was great, atmosphere was low energy and relaxing especially in a beautiful on the patio. Drinks were great food was ok. For the area and pricing prob rate 6 out of 10, nothing magnificent but would def recommend for relaxing conversations and cocktails.

    The problem with this restaurant is the service. We got seated upstairs and only one other table was occupied. I had to go downstairs to request the server so we could order. We have previously been seated upstairs and we previously got forgotten. So not to have that happen again I was proactive. The food is delicious but they really have a problem with service in my opinion. I’m not so sure I will ever go again. Especially because this has been a recurring problem.

    Can never go wrong visiting Carriqui! Service is impeccable and the food pushes all the right buttons. Jose is an amazing server who remembers your name and your drink preferences. Unbelievable! I enjoy chatting with the bar staff as they are as friendly as they are knowledgeable…best Carajillo in San Antonio, by the way. Great ambience inside or on the patio.

    The food was excellent, cocktails were perfect! But I have to assume the wait staff was having an off day. Not friendly, rather slow to deliver our meal, failed to replace utensils for dessert. Not horrible, just not as good as in previous visits.

    It was our first time visiting. The ambiance and decor is amazing. Our waitress, Isabella was on point. She was enthusiastic and knew the menu well. We started with chips and queso and guacamole. The guacamole was especially fresh and tasty. Our meals were plated beautifully and full of flavor. However, all three of us commented that the salt level was just a tad high on our three distinct dishes. We each grabbed a desert and we're highly impressed by the homemade flavors.
