About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    This wasn’t the first time I’ve been to Carriqui but, this is the first time I’m writing a review, and that’s all because of our outstanding waiter, Jose. Jose was friendly,attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. When we sat down at our table, he introduced himself, asked if we had any time restraints, and asked for our drink order. Throughout the service, he checked in on us, made sure we were well taken care of, and recommended the most phenomenal plates that allowed us to try an assortment of specialty foods. Between the phenomenal service from Jose, the delicious food, and the surprise mariachis (all-female sirens with amazing talent), today’s experience was well beyond my expectations. I’ll definitely be back and I’ll be sure to ask for Jose, the best waiter in all the land (well, at least the land around the Pearl).

    We have dined at this venue several times and have truly enjoyed our experiences, which keep us coming back. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was not quite up to par. The grilled shrimp was undercooked and lukewarm. No other guest complaints about the food quality were registered. The venue itself is charming, and the ambiance is top-notch. The service was good this time, but it did not match our previous excellent experiences. We plan to return to dine in the future, considering this recent visit an off-day in the kitchen.

    Carla Was amazing! We had the broccoli and cauliflower with white mole, the chicken enchiladas verde, and the complimentary salsa and chips. All were fantastic! One of the top 5 meals in my life. The margaritas may have been the best ever!
