Feeling peckish? It is lunchtime. Stop at Acenar, a Mexican restaurant with a patio that spills out into the Riverwalk. Service is good and the food is better than expected—with housemade refried beans and rice that tastes like a Mexican grandmother made it.

The menu is extensive but try the shredded short ribs tacos or the cochinita pibil (pork roasted in banana leaves). Black beans and cilantro rice accompany them.
