TEXAS MONTHLY
"This is not your papacito's taqueria. That quaint and picturesque place does not exist within these mod magenta and saffron walls. Acenar is hip and hyped up on hypnotic music. Come here for tacos reinvented for a modern sensibility, specifically for the oyster taco on a homemade corn tortilla. Fluffy, peppery, and salty, these perfectly fried oysters are rolled up with generous amounts of jalapeno-honey mayo, charred pineapple bits, and (don't roll your eyes) microgreens. Just order a cerveza, get a table by the window so you can watch the palm trees on the River Walk whip in the wind, and think about how the times, they are a-changin'."

CONEXION
A mixture of upper-class Biga and funky Rosario’s,
Acenar serves up Tex-Mex favorites such as enchiladas
verdes along with more ambitious items, like duck filled
corn Serrano crepes in a tamarind-cherry-onion sauce.
