Acenar is one of San Antonio's top-rated restaurants on the River Walk. Come taste for yourself and see what the hype is all about!

“The nod for most-cutting-edge restaurant design on the River Walk goes to trendy Acenar, with its soaring space, multiple levels, eye-popping colors, and cool, umbrella-shaded terrace.” – Texas Monthly

“Acenar serves up the best margarita we have tasted on the Riverwalk.” – Margarita Texas

Acenar is nestled along the banks of the San Antonio River Walk at the E. Featuring a modern take on classic TexMex dishes, Acenar offers a tantalizing menu with Zagat-rated “killer margaritas," famous tableside guacamole, fresh ceviche & seafood, duck chalupas, sizzling parrilladas, and an outstanding mixed grill – all made fresh with a contemporary flair.

Some people leave this world, but never leave our hearts. 🕯️🌼

In honor of Día de los Mu***os, Ácenar will be creating an ofrenda to remember and celebrate the loved ones who are no longer with us.

We invite you to bring a photo of someone special who has passed and place it on our ofrenda.

Add their face, their memory, and a little piece of their story to this beautiful tradition.

Come spend some time with us, take in the ofrenda, honor those you love, and celebrate the culture behind Día de los Mu***os.

And while you're here, enjoy some good food, a margarita, and time together on the River Walk.
