Chicago-Style Pizzeria Bringing Pan Pizzas to Lake Travis - Eater Austin

"San Antonio’s historic Pearl district is opening a new restaurant, Carriqui, in September, replacing Liberty Bar which moved in 2016. The restaurant is named after the carriqui, or green jay, a bird native to South Texas, and the restaurant’s food follows the flightpath from the Rio Grande Valley to the Texas coast to San Antonio. That means dishes like botana platters, Gulf seafood, and barbacoa as well as cocktails." - Erin Russell

First of all, what a great looking restaurant. You can tell they really poured a lot of effort in design and layout. We were fortunate enough to be served by Jerrel and I hope you do too, he’s an excellent server. The menu is great, I was so torn on what to get but the special of the day sounded so good. It was stuffed Rainbow Trout (crab meat) topped with chimichurri sauce which was in a sauce possibly made by Jesus. It was outstanding! I also got a side of Brisket and chimichurri…if you haven’t tried brisket and chimichurri thank Al Frugoni when you do. It was perfect, passed the pull test and bend test, great smoke ring, and fat cap was perfectly rendered. My wife and her best friend got the fajitas and they were really good. We hoped they would be more tender but still very solid. The flavor made up for it. I tried two different whiskey cocktails. The first is what they call Texas Sun. They use Still Austin and a blend of liquors and fresh juice…this is a must try. The second was a Southern Ember. I liked them both a ton but I had to get another Texas Sun. I highly recommend this place! I’d be surprised if you aren’t happy.

Enjoyed a lunch date at this beautiful restaurant near the Pearl. The Carriqui margarita was delicious. Husband liked the old fashion. The bbq nachos were a bit dry for my taste, as was the tortillas on the enchiladas. Husband liked his brisket meal - thought it was flavorful. Atmospheres and decor was beautiful. Service was very prompt. We paid for street side parking.

High end Mexican food with their own take on classic dishes. The food itself is high quality ingredients such as the wagyu fajitas (pictured) with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. We also had the fried fish tacos which were delicious. One nice surprise was the corn cakes. It was similar to a very moist cornbread cupcake with herb butter. Already looking forward to having these again. We were seating in the second building which is decorated very nice, but as it filled up it has terrible acoustics, so you have to shout at each other to speak. There is also a nice patio and bar outside that wasn’t being used during our weekday lunch visit. The staff was professional and attentive and made a positive experience. Highly recommend and will definitely go back when we want a unique twist on traditional Mexican food.

The experience overall was incredible. The food was delicious, the puffy tacos were exceptional! Service was excellent. However, our waiter was a little less personable than expected. Fortunately it was not a downfall to the restaurant and staff whatsoever! 10/10, recommend!

This was our second time here. The first time was to celebrate my daughter- in-law’s graduation. The service we received from Stephanie was EXCEPTIONAL!! The food was AMAZING! My husband was so impressed we went back for his birthday this weekend. 5/31. Our server Jerrell took very good care of us. To add to our already great experience the manager Mr. Allexis brought a variety of exquisite desserts to celebrate my husband. Every dessert was Exceptionally Delicious!! We felt so very special. Thank you Carriqui for making my husband’s birthday EXTRA SPECIAL! Carriqui is our new favorite place to dine. 10 out of 10!

The service was great very friendly and attentive. It’s a very pretty and pleasant restaurant. The food was also pretty good. I had the chicken enchiladas and my husband had the smoked chicken plate. Loved the chips and salsa.

I went for my birthday and it was such a wonderful choice! The service was attentive and welcoming, the atmosphere was nice without being stuffy. I highly recommend the patio with its impeccable landscaping and fountain. As for the food, it's a true embracing of "South Texas cuisine" by blurring the lines of BBQ and Mexican food into something amazing. Try the nachos with burnt ends, you won't regret it. The cocktails were cold, strong, and delicious. My hubby had the brisket and I had the Barbacoa. Both our meals were perfectly cooked and so flavorful and tender. The flan at the end was beautifully plated, thick and creamy. We can't wait to go back and try their Tequila and Taco Tuesday!

Came here for my Dad's 76 birthday, it was our second time here. The menu has been changed up but it was just as good this time as the first. The food was very well prepared and full of flavor. The service and atmosphere were both excellent and this was a great area for us to have a little dinner celebration. Will come back when in the area again.

Beautiful restaurant. Service is very good. Had ceviche, tuna al pastor, and the corn cakes. The scallop ceviche was a bit bland but I like the crunchiness of the green apple. I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.

We came with a very large party of 18 and they were the only restaurant in the Pearl district to accommodate us but with split tables on a Friday evening. The service was really slow, I felt because we were on the second floor that we were forgotten about. The food was mid. The ribeye tacos were flavorful but the warm flour tortillas turned into a firm texture within a few minutes. The ceviche had an overpowering soy sauce/ponzu taste to it which didn't sit well with my taste buds. Because it is located in the Pearl district the prices were slightly above average.

Restaurants are more than a way to satiate hunger with good food, they are a place to experience hospitality and remove the burden of service when you go with guests to enjoy a meal. Carriqui was recommended by a friend as a favorite in the San Antonio area. The website looked interesting and the venue looks beautiful. I thought I would bring a party of 10 to a place that we could enjoy some food with local Latin flair. We arrived puzzled about where the entry and host stand was. I thought there might be signage, but we wandered in the space looking for the right door. There is a smokehouse area and a dining room separated by a breezeway. A sign pointing the way would have been very helpful. We did eventually find the hostess and checked in. The bar welcomes you and is beautiful. The selection is broad and the craft cocktails were excellent. We ordered drinks and waited on the rest of the party. We were seated for dinner and placed orders for a round of drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Let me first tell you that the drinks, appetizers, and entrees were amazing. The smoked rabbit quesadilla was amazing, the chicken was incredible, the brisket was great, and the chopped pork was just right, not too greasy and not too dry. Notice the bbq focus here. They had some latin fusion in the entrees, but do not be fooled as I was, this is a smokehouse that has enchiladas if you want them. The disappointing thing in my Carriqui experience was the service. This was a 4 hour bbq dinner. The food was good, but not that good. Every order of something took ages to come out. When it arrived, it both looked and tasted great, but the kitchen artists or the wait staff definitely took their time. Drinks felt slow for basic cocktails. They were brought in spurts and auctioned off as we had people being tagged in to help with the service work. Maybe my expectations are too high, but this place checked so many boxes, but missed on service. This is too important to hospitality for me to ignore. Try it, but make sure you have plenty of time or... maybe just sit at the bar!

I uploaded the pictures of these restaurant last year but somehow didn't write a review. Wow .. So where do I begin. I still remember how tasteful everything was. It was probably our most favorite place that we ate while in San Antonio. The ambiance was great, beautifully decorated restaurant with great service. The cocktails were delicious so we had a few. The food was flavorful and unique. We had a wonderful dinner with my family at Carriqui.

I heard and read great reviews about Carriqui and we finally visited for some brunch. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful! The main dining room has 2 stories and has stunning wooden design throughout, and beautiful (natural) greenery all around. They have a brunch and dinner menu with different items. To drink my husband and I ordered Micheladas, mine was virgin (with mineral water). As an appetizer we ordered nachos which I loved because each chip had its own chees, chicken, and jalapeno so the portions were individual. Genius lol. We also ordered the papas bravas which are absolutely delicious! Definitely order these! You're welcome! For my main meal I ordered the barbacoa sandwich which was like a sloppy Joe to me... the flavor was too overpowering for me and too much meat. The chips it came with were over seasoned but tasty. Everything was good and service was excellent! I definitely recommend and I'm interested in trying the dinner menu.

Carriqui has been on my radar for quite sometime ever since they finished renovating this old once leaning house! The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, it has the classic Old King William's feel to it and it's a beautiful place to be. The patio is also really nice and I'm sure during the spring time it's a lovely place to eat or have drinks. The server we had was also very sweet and attentive. We sat inside and my husband ordered the brisket and I ordered the gulf shrimp for our entrees. My husband has a very high bar when it comes to BBQ as his family owns several restaurants so he said his Brisket was "ok" but not special, considering the price of his plate. For me I loved my shrimp, the protein was seasoned really nicely and I really enjoyed it! I will say the portions of the sides and the plating was a little clunky but that's just nit picking. For dessert we ordered the Flan and I am a huge Flan fanatic and this did not disappoint! It was so delicious! I'd recommend this place to anyone coming into town for the first time, it's a really great summary of Tex/Mex cooking. I don't know if I'd personally be back (unless I'm showing someone new to town around) but I am glad I stopped in and tried it out!

Great restaurant located near the Pearl and I love the fact that they have their own private parking lot. Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

We came with a group and it was a bit of a mixed bag with the food being 5 stars and everything else being in need of improvement. Huge difficulty getting reservations as the automated system doesn't work and no one answers the phone. Restaurant itself is cool and chic being situated in an old house. The bar setup was great, although the cocktails we ordered (Mezcal Negroni) were not made to the described specs as we watched everything that went into it. We were seated upstairs which was airy and comfortable. Our order was promptly taken and we enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa which were amazing. We shared the BBQ tasting plate which was huge and quite delicious. Mains came almost immediately after we finished which was too rushed. No issues with any of those as they were all perfectly prepared and plated. I enjoyed my cabrito and I also tried the smoked/fried quail which was outstanding. Server kept clearing each person's plate as they finished one at a time instead of at the end which was disconcerting and contributed to the rushed atmosphere. Dessert was enjoyed by those who ordered one but I was too full after eating too quickly to try something.

We came here for my birthday and sat outside at 11 AM--the weather was perfect, and the patio was beautiful. We ordered the brisket kolache, and the meat was incredibly flavorful and tender. We honestly could have eaten a few more! The grilled shrimp was also packed with flavor. A great spot to enjoy a delicious meal outdoors.

Nice place. Great atmosphere and well appointed. We were able to use the dedicated parking lot and we were seated upstairs. This was our first time eating here as we had only been here before for a happy hour event. The food was good, but I feel like I ordered the wrong thing. Lol! I had the fish which was quite good and I enjoyed the salad. The rice on the side was kind of plain, but about what I expected. The service was very good and so were the drinks in the appetizers. We will be back where I will take advantage of different food made on the woodfired grill.

The first time I visited there was an excellent burger with brisket that was probably one of the best in town, each visit has been progressively disappointing. The service has always been very good and the setting is wonderful . My rating reflects that service alone. The Tuesday taco special in terms of price, quantity or quality is something I will never order again. Today's meal the SMOKEHOUSE PLATE was just average, with the cabrito being acceptable but the brisket was dry and not tender.

We go here every time we're in the area. Highly recommend it as an apps / cocktail place. I've only had a few main dishes and weren't that impressed, but honestly it's fine because the apps keep bringing us back! It's the cutest place, kind of reminds me of a house in South Carolina or Hampton's, but then with a Mexican vibe. Service is ALWAYS great, everyone is absolutely the sweetest and so accommodating and helpful. We ALWAYS get the tuna tostada. CANNOT go wrong. The fish is so fresh and the sauce is spot on. It comes in a set of 2, but you can add another for an additional charge (if you have a group of 3, like we did). The corn cakes are an app, but basically a dessert. They're kind of sweet but the butter is savory! We also always get the chicken tortilla soup, found out last time you can get a cup or bowl even tho they don't (really) offer that. Ask anyway:)) Cocktails - get the Carraquillo if you like an espresso martini (it's not a martini but has coffee and orange and so yummy and fresh). Love the old fashioneds also, but the first one I had was toooooo pecan heavy. I asked the waiter and they completely remade it. The bar manager even thanked us for bringing it to their attention. Love that they didn't make me feel bad for raising a complaint. All in all, definitely recommend!

This restaurant is a true gem. The venue is historic, which adds so much character and charm to the experience--it really feels like stepping into something special. The smoker is a standout feature, and their brisket nachos and tacos are beyond amazing--smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. But what really takes it to the next level is the patio--it looks straight out of Central Park in NYC, offering a perfect setting to relax and enjoy a meal. Whether you're sitting outside or inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is always friendly and attentive. The drinks are always on point, and while the happy hour is a nice touch, it's the combination of incredible food, a historic venue, and that stunning patio that keeps me coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in town. Come see Issac and Ben at the bar!

Drinks and food are always good. , We ho there when I'm the area . Last night we waited for a long time , just to get our food with hairs in it. Person just took the and didn't even try to replace it after waiting almost an hr . Didn't even ask if we wanted something else .

What happened to the original menu and flavors? Carriqui used to be a favorite to dine at but the menu has become "common" and just like any other Tex Mex restaurant. Same rice and beans you can get anywhere. What happened to the cilantro rice?! Go back to the wonderful unique flavors you used to offer. Also, cocktails are not that great anymore - trying too hard with too many ingredients in the drinks.

Upon walking into the restaurant, you'll be greeted with a smokey aroma that's pleasant--clearly some good things are happening in the kitchen. It doesn't feel like a Mexican restaurant due to the architecture of the building but the music and aroma convinces you. The chips and salsa is absolutely delightful. If you are not a fan on spiciness, you will not like the salsa. I thought the salsa was perfectly sliced and very flavorful. The chips were thickets and have just the right amount of crunch. Everything on our plate was tasty! Their refried beans, was nicely seasoned and was the typical boring refried beans. Nothing but good things food wise. Certainly will return once in the area. Random! The bathroom was nice and it fit the aesthetics of the building. The paper towel was of quality and the fit and finish was nice! The hot water was instant... lol Anyways check it out food is definitely enjoyable!

So I've been here a few times. For Carriqui sponsored events like National Margarita Day or for Fiesta. And I've also been here just for happy hour. I am never disappointed!! The food is delicious! The service is awesome! I typically sit outside and the patio is amazing!! Taco Tuesday is totally a thing here and you can get a plate of 10 tacos for $40. The tacos are spot on!! The brisket queso is so velvety and the drinks are great!

Met some friends here for lunch. Arrived at 1130 am (had reservations) and got seated quickly. Waiter was very friendly and polite. Ordered guacamole. Was very good. We had the brisket tacos for lunch with rice and beans. The refried beans were delicious. Brisket tacos with jalapenos crema were also very good. A few in our party attempted to order fried fish tacos and a turkey BLT and were told they were out. (Weird at 1130am) but nonetheless the food we did order was very good.

A Love Letter to Carriqui: A South Texas Culinary Gem Carriqui isn't just my favorite restaurant in San Antonio--it's in a category of its own. Nestled in one of the city's most historic buildings, it brings the essence of regional South Texas cuisine to life with authenticity, care, and a level of execution that rivals Michelin-starred restaurants I've experienced across the U.S. and Europe. As someone who studies operations with rigor and regularly dines at the highest-rated establishments in Austin--including those curated by the likes of Morgan McGuire--I don't take praise lightly. But Carriqui earns every word of it. The menu is thoughtful and intentional--each dish feels like a conversation with South Texas itself, grounded in tradition yet refined in execution. The drinks are equally well-crafted, never an afterthought. It's rare for me to dine out alone, but after a long day of work in San Antonio, Carriqui has become my personal sanctuary. Even after the departure of Jordan, an exceptional manager, the leadership hasn't missed a beat. That speaks volumes. The consistency, professionalism, and warm hospitality remain unchanged thanks to a remarkable team--Bridget at the host stand, bartenders Isaac, Jessy A., and Ben--all of whom deliver genuine warmth and care that elevate every visit. Carriqui also offers what so many restaurants overlook: a safe, secure parking lot, and banquet facilities that are truly top-tier. From ambience to plate to service, this is a rare place where every detail is dialed in with excellence. Honestly, no review could do justice to how much I love this restaurant. Carriqui is more than a meal--it's an experience I look forward to again and again.

Ambiance 9/10 - very warm and inviting. Acoustics are not good. Hard to hear and have conversations when it's busy. Maybe sitting outside would be better. Restrooms were wow and super nice and clean! Service was ok - waiter mumbled and was hard to understand at times. Some training with the wait staff would go a ways. Food - we had the enchiladas, brisket, gulf shrimp, fajitas and churros for dessert. Enchiladas were unique and chock full of flavor. Would absolutely order again! Fajitas were good, but you have to ask for toppings as it doesn't come with guacamole, salsa, etc. Spanish rice was ok. Not the best we've had. The salad and chips they serve ahead of time wasn't good. That salsa is pretty bad. We didn't care for it. Not traditional like salsa. Do yourself a favor and order the churros. You get 5 small ones with chocolate to dip in. YUM! We would definitely go back if in the area.

Sooo we actually had breakfast at home but we had decided to leave a little room for French toast or pancakes since that's something we never order. The chips and salsa are really good very fresh. I meant to ask if they're made there or brought in. Service was all around great but our waitress was a little slow. We sat outside and was absolutely lovely. The French toast with mimosas was the perfect pairing. Was very well balanced not overly sweet.

One of the best overall experience. We celebrated a birthday here and our server James made the night unforgettable.

My husband and I went to celebrate Valentine's Day. The ambiance and music were amazing a lot of latin pop which I LOVE! We chose a later reservation in order for us to be able to be inside since we knew the weather would be cold. They sat us at a table in an area somewhat separated from the main house which was beautiful but my main concern was that they sat us right by the door which was kept open in order for waiters to come in an out. So despite our efforts to stay warm inside we were still pretty cold. Drinks were great! My husband ordered the margarita and a paloma. I ordered the cucumber mocktail which was delicious. The main reason I am taking two stars off is because I was pretty disappointed with the food. My husband ordered the Brisket and I ordered the Enchiladas. Both came with a side of rise and beans which the beans were okay but nothing out of the ordinary and the rice was pretty mediocre. Enchiladas were supposed to be of chicken yet had so much cheese that I couldn't even tell if they had chicken or not. Salsa for the enchiladas was also nothing out of the ordinary. I would say pretty basic. The brisket was definitely good quality and super juicy. We also got a side of papas bravas and those were AMAZING! Definitely recommend. Lastly we finished with some churros which once again were okay but definitely expected more. Would love to see their dishes get a bit more elevated and have more of an authentic Mexican flavor because they were definitely lacking that.

I made reservations for dinner tonight with my brother and sister in love visiting us. Today was Fiesta Monday so they were having drink specials. Lime Margarita frozen or on the rocks were $6. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby and Brother had Frozen Margarita, and I had it on the rocks. Brie brought us complimentary chips and salsa. We started off with the Ceviche and Carriqui Salad. Then we all shared the Barbacoa, Cabrito, and Quail. We had the Roasted Cauliflower too. Everything was delicious. We ended with Churros. What a treat! They even had a Fiesta medal for sale. Brie was a great server who was on point with the service. Highly recommend!

My second visit to Carriqui. Both times I was invited. The first time for brunch was passable, not great, well over-priced. Service was great. The second visit was great service but horrid entre. I ordered the Mesquite Grill Chicken Breast, I was served a smoked quarter chicken with the wing, mushroom which I requested not be served, a roasted pepper, two slices of onion, cup of salsa verde and 3 flour tortillas. NO SIDES......$ 25.00 Bill Miller serves a better smoked chicken. I did not complain or sent back the entre, as the lunch was a celebration for a wedding. I would not recommend this place to any one.

First off, the service was outstanding! The staff was attentive and did a great job of helping. The place is very cool and unlike make restaurants, you have lots of space instead of being right next to another table, so it is great for privacy and conversation. On to the food. It was excellent! The burnt ends, the papas bravas, and achiote spiced chicken were all extremely well done and I highly recommend them to anyone going. Lastly, they do have a great drink selection to choose from!

Loved this restaurant, truly loved it. It was refreshing in flavor diversity and menu items. The reviews were spot on! I got the goat and churros and I planned on taking dessert to go, but the dessert didn't make in the bag! It was that crispy but soft and the chocolate dipping sauce yummy. The shareable potatoes were yummy just yummy. Highly recommend the place. The service was friendly and attentive which is always appreciated! Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance! Beautiful! I sat outside and could have been there all evening long. The outdoor seating is one the best I've been too. Fire pits and bar just nice! Well done! I did have to find street parking.

So disappointed with the recent bad experiences. Food used to be AMAZING! I've been dining at Carriqui since it opened and food, staff, service had been outstanding.. there was care and attention to detail in everything. It's not there anymore but most disappointing is the food. It's changed, and not in a good way. I've continued to order the dishes I used to enjoy and two in particular are just not good anymore. I've had to send back to kitchen on several occasions, unfortunately. Some other company clearly took over and turned everything to crap, changed food!! Im so disappointed.

Beautiful location, beautiful building, great service, all the food was delicious including the complementary chips and salsa, the ceviche, blackened fish, and the tuna tostadas. My favorite was the blackened fish.

We came in during Sunday brunch hours and the food was delicious and the service was good! Loved the outside seating area, which is where we sat but the inside was also super cute! I ordered the Texas French Toast which was good but there wasn't an even balanced taste of toast versus egg flavors. We received our checks tucked within a reading book, which we could then write a message in, that was neat and a cool. I'd love to come back and try their bbq because we could smell it smoking and it smelled amazing!

Came to Carriqui for a quiet late lunch. The place wasn't crowded. My dish looked beautiful and tasted even better. Everything felt balanced -- food, service, and the overall mood. Will surely come again.

Amazing food and drinks in a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. We had the as appetizer the queso and nachos with brisket and main dish blackened fish dish and the Texas Gulf shrimp dish. All the food was hot and so flavorful. I am upset that we didn't take pictures. Our girl night out for dinner and drinks was a night to remember.

Food and drinks were delicious! Service was good for being such a busy restaurant! Ambiance is beautiful, we sat in the "outdoor" room and it was very nice, it's covered/enclosed and the decor is beautiful.
