"Swanky Ácenar is the brainchild of Lisa Wong (of Rosario’s fame) and Pete Selig, the investor behind ever-popular New American restaurant Biga on Banks. Like its siblings, Ácenar is beautiful on the inside, with atmospheric views of the river, but it also serves excellent variations on Texas regional Mexican dishes. Expect a lot of Gulf seafood influence, as well as San Antonio staples like chiles rellenos and entomatadas (fried stuffed tortillas). The crab tinga tacos, made with Gulf blue crab sauteed with spicy chipotle, are a quirky (and delicious, of course) reinvention of a classic. The creativity carries over into the drinks: Try the Mexican Martini, made with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and a dash of olive juice, natch. Request it with Cazadores Reposado for the best version." - Vox Creative
