I had an absolutely amazing dinner at Casa Rio! This place deserves more than 5 stars. I ordered the Deluxe Dinner and it was spectacular—everything from the cheese enchilada to the tamale and the chili con carne was incredibly flavorful and authentic. The Watermelon Agua Fresca was the most refreshing drink I've ever had, and finishing the meal with the Sopapillas (hot, fluffy, and sweet with honey) was the perfect ending. If you are on the River Walk, you MUST eat here. The history of the place makes it even more special!
The location is just perfect! You can relax and have a nice view of the Riverwalk. The service is friendly and fast and I really liked the horchata. The only thing because I’m giving 4 starts is because the food was mid, it’s not the best but it’s not the worst either.
We went there for 2 main reasons: vegetarian options and riverfront views and were happy with both. The server was ok and so was the food - we expected more flavor. The rice was really good. Just FYI, chips and salsa aren't free but they are very reasonably priced. We ordered the following: Salsa - fresh Queso - good Guac - ok Veg fajita - decent Veg Enchiladas - ok Vegan chalupa - ok, got tostada Veg nachos - only bean and cheese, got charged extra for adding jalapenos for flavor
Best restaurant on the river walk, hands down. The wait was decent on a holiday (~15min). Our server was so kind & prompt - every item came out on a respectable interval, given how busy the restaurant was. And there was just so much food. The guac was so fresh. Salsa was so good. Everything was great. I will definitely come back on my next visit.
Casa Rio continues to deliver amazing food for decades. It was so amazing. Our server was such a sweet and kind person. The weather was a little chilly so we ate inside. The band would stop by to see if you would like to hear a song. Overall, I highly recommend this location if you are near the river in San Antonio.
