This little jewel of a place in La Villita has stolen my heart and my palate! The long, narrow dining room adored with large art and Chihuly chandeliers warmly welcomes; the open kitchen and full bar right inside the front door speak pure hospitality. But the food is the star here. I still dream about the seafood curry--a velvety pond of perfectly cooked, tender, fresh shrimp, bay scallops, clams, mussels, and fish, laced with fresh vegetables and edged with a beach of pineapple rice. I'm not sure I've ever had anything more delicious in my 67 years of dining my way through the US and a few other countries.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant on my first visit! The food was out of this world—so delicious that every bite was a delight. The service? Simply fantastic! And the music they played created the perfect atmosphere. To top it all off, my passionfruit Mojito was the ideal addition to the meal. The menu was brimming with enticing options, making it a challenge to pick just a few! We decided on the ceviche as an appetizer, and for our main courses, we went for the churrasco and the seafood curry Latino. I can't even express how amazing it was—definitely a whopping 10 stars out of 5! I can't wait to go back again soon!

Excellent Latino fare in a pleasant environment. The few minute walk off the river walk was worth it.

Awesome experience. Serves a variety of modern Latino cuisine in addition to some Spanish dishes. The decor inside was clearly inspired by Spanish arquitect. Located approximately 10 minutes south of downtown, it’s worth the walk to check this restaurant out.

Such a great place to eat for a night out. The complimentary corn bread was so yummy! We had people in our party who were trying to eat healthier and they had fantastic grilled veggies and meat cuts. My favorite dish was the seafood curry. Would definitely go here again; wish I could have experienced the salsa dancing too.

If you haven't been to Azuca you have been missing out. This place is amazing. It feels expensive but it's not. The food is so good you would think it expensive but it's not! You get amazing value. The owners are hands on working the crowd. Chef Rene and his Wonderful wife Norma are the best. It's a good vibe. At 10:30 on the weekend the kitchen shuts down and the lights turn off. It turns into a salsa night club. Beautiful couples dancing ! Real nice. I like this place a lot. Get the pitchers of mojito!!! We can sit there hours having glass after glass of their amazing mojitos. Fellas plan a date here. You won't regret. Get reservations around 9 to eat and stick around for the music when the kitchen closes.

This was a lovely little restaurant with friendly staff, spectacular fresh dishes, and delicious eats. We had a large party and there was a bit of a wait to get our food, but they kept checking on us regularly and kept us informed.

An absolute necessary place to go if you are in the San Antonio area. The food... outstanding. The staff... amazing...the atmosphere 10/10. Even the drinks were delicious. All my years of being here I can believe today was my first time. Definitely will not be the last.

Great place for dinner and drinks. The food was creative without going over the top. The cocktails we made perfectly. All four of us really enjoyed our dinner.
