verwalk.” – 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.
