Welcome to Acenar, the best Mexican dining destination on the River Walk! Restaurateurs Lisa Wong (of Rosario's fame) and her business partner Pete Selig (of Biga on The Banks' fame) joined forces in 2005 to launch Ácenar - one of the largest and most innovative contemporary Mexican restaurants and bars on the San Antonio River Walk and Downtown area. Guests will enjoy Texas regional Mexican dishes inspired by the history and heritage of these two cultures.
