Mariscos El Riqui is bringing Tijuana to San Antonio with a debut at the La Picosa Town Center at Brooks City Place. Tacos Chulos, La Carniceria, Amores de Julia, and Mariscos el Riqui recently filed permits with project details on the same day, all with projected openings in mid-2026. Mariscos El Riqui La Picosa’s permit shows that the new eatery will open at 7514 S. New Braunfels, Suite C.
Construction on Mariscos El Riqui is slated to start at the top of the year and is expected to be completed by the beginning of May 2026.
What Now San Antonio recently reported on Amores de Julia, set to come to San Antonio around the same time, by owner Misael Guerrero. A recent Facebook post alluded that Guerrero is also the owner of Mariscos El Riqui. Guerrero owns a host of other eateries, including Culichitown and Mama Por Dios. What Now San Antonio reached out to Guerrero to discuss both openings, but did not hear back by the time of this publication.
According to Culture Map, three of the quartet of new restaurants to come to the La Piscoa Town Center have connections to popular California-based concepts, except for Mariscos El Riqui, which appears to be connected to a concept in Tijuana.
The menu on the website outlines a variety of traditional Mexican dishes and drinks, including Margaritas, Agua Frescas, Shrimp Cocktails, and many more.
Mariscos el Riqui is slated to open in the La Picosa Town Center at Brooks City Place at 7514 S. New Braunfels, Suite C, by May 2026.
