Thomas DuebnerJuly 22, 2017I always make a point to come here when I'm in SA. The food is always great. I will say the huge margarita was more gimmicky than anything; pretty light on taste for 25 dollars.Upvoted Feb 26
JaneMarch 18, 2013Clearly if it's busy (like it always is on the Riverwalk it can get cray cray, be nice to the waitstaff) food is good. Crispy tacos are really big and first round of chips is free .75 after for each 1
Kyle JoyceMarch 22, 2014Great food,atmosphere,& staff!Go when it's nice out and enjoy the experience. Beware of the pigeons and ducks that want your food.I highly recommend this place...especially if you're from out of town!Upvoted 4 weeks ago
DJ Ku RxOctober 3, 2020Enjoyed the Tacco Salad with chicken and shrimp. The view is great and you can see boats come by as part of the scene. The offer photos and live personal music at your table. Great experience 🖖🏽
Laura RamosJune 27, 2018Green enchiladas were full of flavor. Not spicy at all. They are huge, two is more than enough. Sit by the river to enjoy the view.
Linda GillilandAugust 11, 2016Loved our waitress, Virginia! I had Chicken Flauta Dinner. It was great! Atmosphere good, scenery on the River Walk was good, ducks greeted us for dinner. Loved it!
Yvonne Henderson WilliamsSeptember 1, 2014Absolutely the best traditional Mexican food I've had in a long time. Wish I was a local. Outstanding and inexpensive.
David WomackMarch 19, 2014The Casa Rio is a superb Mexican restaurant! It is always a treat. try the regular plate, which has samplings of lots of different good things.
Amee VoraMarch 19, 2012Amazing Mexican food and extremely pleasant ambience by the river walk . Will miss the tex-mex salsa and guacamole back home, it's so different from the Mexican food back there.
Miriam GoldmanJuly 28, 2017A very special old Tex-Mex restaurant. The combination plates are amazingly good!
Angela AlexanderDecember 15, 2013As a margarita fan, I enjoyed mine a lot and the chili on a cold night outside hit the spot. Good price too.
Kenzie StewartNovember 6, 2017The street tacos and rice were amazing! The mariachi bands make a really cool atmosphere as well!
Sergio RamirezMarch 25, 2019In the River walk, great view and very good service, delicious margaritas and very good quesadillas
Abbe BarbatoMarch 4, 2018Staff was welcoming, service was quick, food was good, sitting along the River Walk was nice.
Glenda GaughMarch 10, 2020The chips and salsa were really good! Margarita not bad. A lot of food for your buck!!
Tom SmithSeptember 26, 2013Great salsa and authentic TexMex for the Riverwalk. Go down to Mi Tierra or La Margarita for the real thing.
Esmeraldaa FaalconAugust 13, 2015The chicken enchilladas are the bomb !! And also the nacho speacialty !! Cheap , delicious & great service !!
Jeana @ SurfandSunshine.comMarch 5, 2013Fajita plate is not grilled strips of meat - but grilled meat cut into strips. chicken is horrible, but the steak is tasty. The salsa is pretty good - actually spicy. Overall not real Mexican food.
Dawn Dambrowski- SmithApril 29, 2013History and huge plates that taste above average ! I have been here numerous times and we usually take visitors to San Antonio here.
elyachanDecember 3, 2011I'd come back just for the amazingly good fresh salsa, but everything else is delicious too! Definitely on the do-again list! <3
- John KDecember 2, 2015Carnitas were great once again. Guacamole and pico de gallo rounded out a great meal!
Ashlie KosinskiJuly 9, 2014go for the peach margarita and even if the wait is long ask for an outside table.
Pam MeyerAugust 2, 2013Had a blast feeding the ducks n fish on the river. The cheese enchilada was tasty!
Traci TesterJune 19, 2018Eating inside the restaurant can get a little noisy. If the weather is good eating outside is much better.- Joe WrightAugust 9, 2014Charo beans and chili relleno were surprisingly good. Reasonably priced as well.
If you love mixed drinks, you'll enjoy here. Minus the drinks...the foods alright. Still worth a try imo.
Doug MApril 6, 2013When ordering the soft taco, make sure you ask for shredded cheese if you want cheese.
Mario GiacaloneAugust 25, 2014Oldest family run restaurant on the river ! Buy local !! The chains are taking over
Paul ChamberlainOctober 20, 2011Three words: ground beef tacos. Yeah, fantastic ambience and mariachis. The food is however, abysmal.
I've been coming here since I was 2 (over 35 yrs) and never disappointed
Tinashe HoveSeptember 19, 20121st Restaurant I ate at here in San Antonio. Great Food ! Loved their local Alamo Beer
Sarah GordonFebruary 1, 2016great food but horribly slow because they use fancy ipads instead of just writing your order like normal places
Brady StokesOctober 10, 2012Great atmosphere surrounding the restaurant! Chicken fajitas were delicious!
Steven ThomasFebruary 17, 2013Some don't like the food here. I liked it OK. hefty portions but they skimped on the alcohol! But remarkably cheap!!
JL Johnson @User47March 28, 2021Great views, mediocre food, slow and below par service. Still worth a visit… Or pick one of dozens of alternatives nearby.
