• Small but Tasty Portions

San Antonio's Riverwalk is sadly short on vegetarian options. Several of its Mexican restaurants offer vegetarian options, but Acenar seemed like the most interesting. Instead of just leaving the meat off of a burrito, Acenar had mushroom and calabacita tacos (easily veganized by omitting the queso fresco) and roasted vegetable enchiladas (no cheese inside, but the tomato sauce tasted creamy and could be subbed for some kind of salsa). My enchiladas were indeed yummy, though I wish they'd included another on the plate, and they gave me special vegetarian beans that weren't cooked away from the animal products. They also have some vegan appetizers, including the customizable guacamole and the free chips and smoky jalapeno salsa, as well as 2 dairy-free sorbet options--I got the mango and lime combination, which was topped with fresh melon pieces. Acenar might not have many options for veg*ns, but what they do have is a step above the other Riverwalk options. Despite the small portion size, I'd definitely go back.
