Acenar: Hotmex & Cool Bar

Ácenar is where bold Mexican flavors meet the beauty of San Antonio’s River Walk. Perched on Houston Street in the heart of downtown, this modern favorite pairs vibrant plates and cocktails with an unbeatable view of the river below. Whether you’re here for a business dinner, date night, or conference unwind, Ácenar delivers the perfect mix of energy, style, and scenery.

Located on Houston Street with a beautiful Rivewalk Patio

Beautifully set off two amazing areas to visit; The Riverwalk and Houston Street. You can't go wrong either way. Ácenar’s professional team, led by Executive Chef Richard Sánchez, delivers a culinary explosion of bold Latin-infused flavors. Guests will enjoy a modern take on Texas regional Mexican dishes inspired by the history and heritage of these two cultures. Ácenar offers many fine selections of Gulf fish, crab and shrimp, or piping-hot San Antonio style enchiladas, savory chiles rellenos, sizzling parrilladas, asadas and cabrito — all made to perfection.
