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.

    From the second I walked in to my departure, I was impressed by the service, attention to detail, and camaraderie of the staff. The food was absolutely delicious, our server was knowledgeable about the food preparation, the drinks were made with care and quality... I can definitely say I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who identifies as a foodie! Looking forward to the next time I can visit San Antonio.

    We are Carriqui fans and have been since the beginning. The menu changes haven't all been easy (bring back the Green Jay!!!) but they continue to make tweaks and this time around the smokehouse platter was out of this world. We never start without queso and burnt ends. It's a vibe spot and worth trying out if you haven't already!
    CarriquiResponded on 3 December 2024
    Thanks for sticking with us, Lyndsay! We love hearing from long-time fans like you. The Green Jay definitely has a special place in our hearts too. Glad to hear the smokehouse platter hit the spot this time around! Starting with queso and burnt ends is always a winning move. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

    Food was excellent, we dined in the back seating area and because it is all stone/glass it made it pretty loud even with the room half full. The design of the restaurant is very photogenic and our experience with the management was that they were very professional. Unfortunately, our server seemed a bit lost and our order took 1h to get out (behind other tables seated after us). My drink took over a half hour to get to me. I think perhaps if we were seated in another area we may have had a better experience.
    CarriquiResponded on 27 November 2024
    Thank you, Nicholas, for sharing your experience. While we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and appreciated the design and professionalism of our team, we're sorry about the delays you encountered with service and the noise level in the back area. Your feedback helps us identify opportunities to improve, and we hope to provide you with a smoother, more enjoyable experience on your next visit.
