Food and Drink from South Texas
The inspiration for our South Texas restaurant is the green jay, colloquially called the Carriqui. It is a social and gregarious bird that is a colorful delight. Its flightpath is the inspiration for our menu.
Led by Executive Chef Jaime Gonzales, Carriqui showcases South Texas Foodways with fresh seafood from the Texas Coast, botana platters worthy of the Rio Grande Valley, brisket and barbacoa from pits forged in the Texas Hill Country, and regional standards like nachos, enchiladas, fajitas, and soon-to-be-famous margaritas. Carriqui seeks to provide exceptional hospitality grounded in sincerity and warmth.
