Pamper your taste buds by digging into delectable modern Mexican fare at Acenar. The popular Mexican restaurant offers patrons fine dining in an expansive space. Tortilla Soup, Stewed Pork Tips and Buttermilk Fried Oysters are just some of the delicacies on offer. Enjoy the exquisitely prepared food in the main dining area, lay back with Latin American drinks in the bar or simply relax in the lounge. However, the highlight of the restaurant is the lovely outdoor patio and the stunning river views that it offers. If you decide to try out this place, know that the best to visit is during happy hours when you can enjoy Platitos and cocktails for USD 5 every evening.

Here's a place where you won't feel you've had enough once you start digging into the authentic Mexican cuisine. Check out the Fajita Nachos served with Iron Cactus cheese blend or the Roasted Poblano Caesar Salad dressed in the signature Poblano Caesar dressing and red chilly and garlic croûtons, to boost your appetite. If you've been watching your calories, the Guiltless Low Carb Fajitas, a beef/chicken preparation wrapped in lettuce is just for you. The Iron Cactus is a stylish option for special events or business luncheons.

This is the kind of barbecue you dream about. The County Line serves up a variety of tender meat, slow-cooked for 18 hours, that literally falls off of the bone and melts in your mouth. Located on the River Walk, this restaurant not only offers a spectacular view, but also affords downtown visitors an opportunity to enjoy the "state meal" without venturing far from their hotels. Not a beef eater? Don't despair; the barbecue chicken, turkey, pork and sausage are equally tasty. All entrees come served with generous portions of sides, including classic potato salad, beans and coleslaw. For dessert, be sure to try one of the fruit cobblers. A full bar is available, but real Texans drink ice cold beer with their barbecue.

Handicapped access is available through a street-level elevator.
