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.

    If you’re looking for the heart of Texas on a plate, Carriqui is where you’ll find it. Nestled in a beautifully restored 1860s home, this South Texas gem effortlessly blends cowboy charm and caballero elegance to deliver an experience that feels like dining at the legendary King Ranch itself. It’s a celebration of Central and South Texas roots, steeped in tradition and brimming with authentic comfort food. The environment is nothing short of magical—rustic yet refined, with every detail of the restoration paying homage to Texas heritage. The service is warm and welcoming, embodying the hospitality this state is known for, and the cocktails are a work of art, each sip crafted to perfection. Now, let’s talk about the food. The nachos at Carriqui deserve their own Hall of Fame. Each one is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted and topped with love. Add one of their house-smoked proteins, and you’ve got yourself a plate of perfection that’s undeniably best-in-class in Texas. Every bite is a testament to the culinary prowess of this kitchen—rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Carriqui isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. It’s where tradition meets innovation, where the flavors of Texas are honored and elevated. For anyone visiting the Lone Star State, this is an absolute must. Carriqui captures the essence of Texas cuisine in an atmosphere that’s as authentic as it is unforgettable. Truly one of my favorite dining spots in Texas, and I can’t recommend it enough.

    Beautiful dinner atmosphere and the service was great. My only complaint is that the chips and salsa we received when we first were seated at our table was too hot. We request that a milder salsa be offered as an alternative to the too hot salsa. Nevertheless, we will return again, thanks.
    CarriquiResponded on January 12, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback, Richard! We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and service during your visit. We appreciate your suggestion about offering a milder salsa option and will share it with our culinary team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
