I have been going to Azuca since it has opened and it still meets my expectations and more. The salmon jibaro is done perfectley, the shrimp diablo and my favorite the Tuna Negro are delicious always falvorful and keep your mouth watering wanting more. My family has ordered the parrillada mixta and the meet has been tender and well seasoned. The only thing I have to say they need to improve on are their Patacones or also known as tostones. They seem as they are frozen and friend they have no flavor and are not crispy as they should and their mojo has been lacking in garlic flavor. However there decor is amazing with vibrant colors and the ambience is great with amazing service and great taste in decor. i highly reccomend this place

Pros: food,ambience,service

Cons: parking

We were told about Azuca's by a local so we headed over in the 100+ heat and were delighted to discover such a cool, blue/ice cafe. We had a wonderful young woman who took care of us. The mojitos were awesome, and the shrimp ceviche was wonderfu - orange, jicama with shrimp! Great service, cool atmosphere, and great food - definitely made our trip to San Antonio memorable!

Pros: Happy hour, mojitos, service

Cons: Small happy hour edibles menu

We enjoyed the ambiance and had a delicious meal. The goat cheese salad was excellent. We split one and the portion was large. We enjoyed the sea bass and paella. Everything was well prepared and the presentation was pleasing. It was a special last night of vacation meal! We recommend it to anyone visiting San Antonio as a alternative to all the Mexican food.

Pros: delicious food, great atmosphere, large portions

Azuca is one of my favorite places. While their entrees are great, the appetizers and drinks are the best. Definitely stop by for happy hour - the mojitos are great and their house wine is awesome for the happy hour price. I went with a friend and had several appetizers and drinks during happy hour and spent less than 25 dollars. Everything is delicious.

Pros: Ambience, Service, Food, Drinks, Entertainment

Cons: Sometimes noisy if there are a lot of people

Azuca is in a great eclectic section of San Antonio. The restaurant has a wonderful vibe and the Azuca bar next door looked like it would have been a lot fun. My boyfriend and I ordered Gaucho soup. It was one of the tastiest soups I've ever had! My mojito, which I heard they are known for, was close to perfect. I wasn't ecstatic about the appetizer platter we ordered, but I will definately go back and order something else. Our waiter was fantastic our entire night! We left halfway through our meal and I had hardly touched my mojito because I didn't feel very well and he took the mojito off of our ticket without us having to ask. I'll definately come back here next time I'm in San Antonio and try to go to the bar as well.

Editor's Review

Moderately priced Caribbean and Latin American cuisine served in a beautiful setting with a side of salsa dancing.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Fresh, aromatic mint leaves make Azuca's version of the mojito a standout.
