About Casa Rio

Casa Rio is a historic restaurant located by the river, offering a lively and scenic atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, with many guests praising the staff for their care and recommendations. The outside seating provides beautiful views of the river, though visitors should watch out for the bold pigeons that sometimes join the dining experience. The food at Casa Rio is generally well-prepared and flavorful, with some dishes like the horchata, queso, and guacamole receiving special praise for their taste. The chili con carne is hearty and full of thick chunks of meat, and the taquitos are a big hit with families. The restaurant offers good value, especially given its prime location at the Riverwalk. While some reviews mention minor issues like slow service or charging for chips and salsa, many guests feel that the overall experience is memorable and worth returning for. The lively ambiance is enhanced by occasional appearances from a mariachi, adding to the fun and festive atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy unique offerings like a flight of margaritas, presented on a lit-up airplane, which adds to the experience. Many guests leave with positive memories, and some even buy souvenirs like shirts to remember their visit. Despite a few hiccups, Casa Rio remains a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

we love Casa Rio! Every time we visit San Antonio, it is one of our stops for lunch or dinner or both! We also love Ricky, our waiter we request every visit! Ricky is friendly and stays on top of our orders making sure we have a great experience every time! The food is always good and very plentiful! And we love the history of Casa Rio!

I was so disappointed in this restaurant. I wanted to go because everytime we came to san antonio people rave about it. we finally got in to eat, and the food was equivalent to taco bell. all the meals were only warm not hot. the beans looked like they came straight out of a can, not to mention the chips were like eating tostitos. I was so disappointed. dinner was $100 for 5 people and we walked out not full at all because we could not finish it. Definitely do NOT recommend.

I wanted to eat here because of its reputation and historical significance, not to mention family owned. Extremely disappointed with the service. Took forever to get an extra plate when already said we were sharing. She never came back to check on us until the bill.
