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.

    We had the burnt end nachos and ribeye fajitas! The chips and salsa were amazing. Salsa is a spicy in all the right ways. Highly recommend the nachos. San Antonio does nachos right by making each nacho individual. But the service is what was stellar. Our waitress was incredible.

    I almost always dine at Carriqui when I am in San Antonio. The staff is friendly, food is outstanding, terrific atmosphere. However, it was clearly understaffed at my last visit: Long waits for cocktails, having to remind our waitress (who was clearly hustling to accommodate other guests) on more than one occasion of what we had requested.
    CarriquiResponded on November 14, 2024

    Wow!! Exceeded expectations! Had reservations but went in for cocktails before dinner - excellent drinks, not watered down but perfect! Dinner was excellent! We chose the shared Smokehouse plate which was awesome! We got to sample a bit of the menu for an awesome price! Not overfilling but scrumptious for 2 people! Loved it!
    CarriquiResponded on November 14, 2024

    My experience at Carriqui is always been great. Now has every meal been outstanding, for the most part the answer is yes. But there has been some items that just were not to my liking but the wait staff have always taken care of it without question. And they have brought me little samples to try. Now I would call myself a regular and if this is the first time you are trying the restaurant I’m sure you will enjoy. And might become a regular yourself. The staff, the building, the food and the smell of the pit are just the right combination for a fun and wonderful time.
    CarriquiResponded on November 10, 2024
    Thank you, Nick, for your continued visits and thoughtful feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that Carriqui feels like a special spot for you, from our attentive staff and flavorful samples to the distinctive pit aromas. We're honored to be your go-to and appreciate your perspective. Looking forward to making every visit memorable!
