Our Story
Tucked away on Old Highway 90 West, Carrique Mexican Restaurant has quietly become a favorite for anyone searching for real, homemade Mexican cooking in San Antonio. Guests consistently describe it as a "hidden gem" — a place where the pastor alambre, gorditas, and tortas taste like they came straight from a family kitchen, not a chain restaurant.
Every dish is prepared fresh and seasoned with care. Diners rave about the tacos al pastor and asada with no unpleasant surprises, flautas dressed in cabbage and seasoned pulled pork that taste just like they remember from Mexico, and rice and beans cooked with deep, comforting flavor. Even the little touches — like a complimentary arroz con leche that reminds guests of their own mother's cooking — reflect the heart behind this kitchen.
With attentive, kind service and prices that keep guests coming back, Carrique has built its reputation the old-fashioned way: one satisfied customer at a time. Whether you're stopping in for a quick torta or settling in for a full plate with family, you'll find a clean, welcoming space and food made the way it should be.
