Menu

A lot of options on the menu, food pretty good. Took 20 minutes in the drive thru so don't go here if you're in a hurry. Had #5 Mexican plate. The taco was sitting in the enchilada sauce so it fell apart as soon as I picked it up. Should have had foil under it.

Outside sign

Wayover priced. They tried to charge me $2.99 for one bean and cheese taco. Very disappointed. I will not be back.

A disclaimer for travelers. This is one of many local places to eat Mexican food. This IS NOT a fancy chain with a fancy building or a generic menu. If you want Americanized Mexican food then you'll need to stick with the big chains that pump out Sysco. This is local style food and atmosphere. A three star rating means this place is worthy of your time and money. It's cheap and delicious. Stopped here for a late breakfast. Place wasn't terribly busy and was promptly allowed to pick a seat anywhere. My waitress was excellent and very attentive. I have a criteria for food establishments in San Antonio due to the saturation of places to get Mexican food. Price and taste which includes the quality of what you get. I'll say it again if you've not read my numerous reviews. If your charging more than $8 for a combo plate of Mexican food, you better make it good and plentiful. It better impress. Too many places here to be priced above that. Agave Grill does it right. The plates are reasonable priced and the food is good. Not great but good. I had a carne guisada breakfast plate with fresh homemade corn tortillas and ranchera sauce for $6. I also like to add a taco from the breakfast menu for see if they are worth the $1.60 The breakfast taco with chorizo and egg was big and filled completely. I was impressed. One of the better breakfast tacos I've tried anywhere. This is just one of many solid Mexican restaurant eateries here in San Antonio. Enjoy

I tried this little place on Broadway one day and got some menudo. I found the soup very delicious and it was packed with the good tripe, the honeycomb. The tortillas were homemade and very good. I will try the taco soon to check the quality of the beef and the pork.

a water bottle and a shot glass

The smallest 16 ounce margarita ive ever been servex. More like 8 and in flimsy plastic glass Nachos were coverec with something resembling melted orange plastic sweet older lady hostess and good view of water

Hair on my taco
Paul Justin L.

I just came from this place and my first taco I had I ate it and then half way thru I ate a hair and then I just threw it away... thinking the other taco was going to have no hair this time the first bite I took this long hair came out of it in my mouth.... don't go here unless you like eating hair...

The atmosphere is really closed off, rice very dry, beans really bland, the chicken enchiladas were good though. We probably won't go back.

I uploaded the pictures of these restaurant last year but somehow didn't write a review. Wow …read more. 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.

Great restaurant located near the Pearl and I love the fact that they have their own private…read moreparking 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.
