True rating 4.5 My wife and I and another couple really enjoyed our first visit to Carriqui. It's a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere although being quite busy on a Friday night it was a bit noisy. Our server was enthusiastic and informative in describing various items on the menu and the specials. The appetizers we chose - queso ($5!), and fried green tomatoes were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, my wife especially enjoying the enchiladas with mole sauce and high marks were given to the barbacoa burger. Our only disappointment was a bit of a snafu when paying our bill that required getting the manager involved, who courteously resolved the issue. We will definitely go back and try some of the other enticing menu offerings. Also note - it's a short walk to the terrific Stable Hall music venue.

Loved our night here at Carriqui! We were seated in Marco's section, he's the BEST! We started our night with the Ceviche. Fresh and delish. My husband had the Cabrito... yum!! We ordered a side of papas bravas. WOW, these were my favorite. I had the Gulf shrimp. The flavor was amazing .

This place, whew! So cute, gives South Carolina vibes. Food Delicious, especially if you like smoked/charred. HIGHLY recommend the corn bread appetizer. The cornbread itself is a little sweet and "spongey" like tres leches, but it's served with herb butter that makes it savory. The tostadas were my favorite. The sauce is a little spicy so keep that in mind. Chicken tortilla soup had a lot of veggies, which is a little weird to me, but had a good flavor. The chicken dinner was delicious. The chicken itself was smokey with a perfectly crispy skin. The charred green beans were yummy, but a little salty. Drinks, not pictured...cold brew coffee vodka drink, out of this world. And I don't even like coffee. Our waiter was great, super helpful and recommended some great items. Even tried to steer us away from things we might not like. We ordered them anyway and he was right, we didn't like them

I made reservations for dinner tonight with my brother and sister in love visiting us. Today was Fiesta Monday so they were having drink specials. Lime Margarita frozen or on the rocks were $6. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby and Brother had Frozen Margarita, and I had it on the rocks. Brie brought us complimentary chips and salsa. We started off with the Ceviche and Carriqui Salad. Then we all shared the Barbacoa, Cabrito, and Quail. We had the Roasted Cauliflower too. Everything was delicious. We ended with Churros. What a treat! They even had a Fiesta medal for sale. Brie was a great server who was on point with the service. Highly recommend!

Loved this restaurant, truly loved it. It was refreshing in flavor diversity and menu items. The reviews were spot on! I got the goat and churros and I planned on taking dessert to go, but the dessert didn't make in the bag! It was that crispy but soft and the chocolate dipping sauce yummy. The shareable potatoes were yummy just yummy. Highly recommend the place. The service was friendly and attentive which is always appreciated! Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance! Beautiful! I sat outside and could have been there all evening long. The outdoor seating is one the best I've been too. Fire pits and bar just nice! Well done! I did have to find street parking.
