I’ve visited Acenar a few times. They have some items that are a little more creative than the typical Mexican restaurant. The service is excellent, and the food is decent. The prices for the types of dishes offered is a little high, but overall it’s not too bad.
I’ve ordered various items on their menu, but the Green Pozole seems to be what I like the most. It’s in the appetizer’s section of their menu and is under $6. The portion is fairly big and the first time I ordered it I didn’t realize it would be. I had ordered the mole plate but had to take it home ’cause I was full on the pozole bowl.
The last time I went, I ordered some empanadas. I was hoping for a more flaky pastry and for the filling to have more flavor. The sauce they poured over them overpowered anything the empanada was filled with. The presentation was very nice and neat, but seemed to lack in the flavor department.
Their service has always been on-par with some of the best restaurants. I’ve chosen times where they’re not busy to visit, so I’m not sure what it would be like during peak dining periods.
