Azuca Nuevo Latino

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant on my first visit! The food was out of this world--so delicious that every bite was a delight. The service? Simply fantastic! And the music they played created the perfect atmosphere. To top it all off, my passionfruit Mojito was the ideal addition to the meal. The menu was brimming with enticing options, making it a challenge to pick just a few! We decided on the ceviche as an appetizer, and for our main courses, we went for the churrasco and the seafood curry Latino. I can't even express how amazing it was--definitely a whopping 10 stars out of 5! I can't wait to go back again soon!

Azuca has made some major improvements compared to the last few times I've dined here. It's in a new building now. The service has gotten better compared to the spotty and unpredictable kinds that I've gotten at the old location. Portions have gotten larger to the point where I've had to ask for a to go container. Prices have gotten higher to keep up with inflation. Their menu has changed and they don't have as many items like they used to. I recommend the tostones and the feijoada, which is like a Brazilian version of jambalaya or black beans and rice with pork and sausage. And yes they still serve the same awesome cornbread for a free appetizer like always.

I was here for a work conference and all I had been having was heavy steak, burgers, and meat tacos for days, so I was craving something lighter and leafier. Azuca Nuevo Latino seemed like it had a good selection of seafood fare, so I dropped by on an unassuming Friday night. It was surprisingly not bustling, but every table was filled. I liked that it had an open-kitchen concept so that you could see the food being prepared right in front of you -- seeing hanging paella pans is always comforting.Because I wanted lighter, I went with two smaller plates instead of a heavier main with fish -- I opted for the spinach, strawberry, goat cheese salad and the ceviche appetizers. Both combined were definitely more than enough for one person. The salad was exactly what I needed -- everything was fresh and light, and the fiber was really doing its job pushing away all of that meat in my body. The ceviche was nice and light, and that citrus really did help cut away the heavyness that I had been feeling for the past few days. As for drinks, their specialty seemed to be mojitos, so I went with the passion fruit variety which was perfectly made.All in all, a positive experience. I would like to come back and try one of their main fish plates, as they all sounded good, but for now, the lighter fare was perfect for what I needed.

The Seafood Curry Latino was delicious. The curry was creamy and flavorful. Seafood was squid, mussels, shrimp , fish, it was all delicious. It has rice too. Service was good. My waiter was very nice. I loved the art on the wall. The music was good. I really enjoyed my dinner.

Great food and service. Very authentic and elevated versions of Latin cuisine at a very good price! Atmosphere is very pleasant. I had the Salmon and have had the churrasco, never disappointed!

Food was great, place is beautiful and cozy and service was really good!We'll be back!

It was extremely cold the week we were in San Antonio, so due to the freezing and ice the owner called to make sure we were still coming in for our reservation. We assured him we would be there. We arrived on time and he greeted us at the door and laughingly said our reservation was the only one and reason they stayed open. The service was excellent and the food was unbelievably good and not very expensive for the serving sizes. Some of the best Latin cuisine I have ever had. My Honduran fiancé was very impressed. They have food from many different Latin cultures and a great mix of everything. Will definitely be back.

Such great food All fresh and tasty Very friendly service Highly recommend Vanilla mojito was so good

The food is always amazing no matter what I have chosen. The hospitality that you get is instant as soon as you walk in the door. Mojitos are probably the best I've ever tasted This is probably one of the best places to take your date or just to get something to eat no matter the occasion

Another split review. Great ceveche, nice acid without overpowering the fish and a slight bite from red onions. I'd go back for it.But not for the paella. Never. It looks splendid with a pair of large mussels rising from the pan, but the rice was undercooked and soupy, nary a hint of crust on the bottom or browning of the top. All of the seafood, mussels, clams, calamari, white fish, was overcooked and rubbery, as was the chicken. One of the mussels had not opened during cooking and should have been removed from the pan as a potential health hazard and several of the thin-shelled clams had shattered, leaving sharp shell shards throughout. Zero stars if I had the option.
