The breakfast was good but seemed a little overpriced. But there were not many places that were open for breakfast that were along the river with seating outside.

Better! Our family decided to have dinner at Casa Rio because my mom saw the Mariachi band playing so she wanted to take advantage and hear them sing. We sat inside which was fine by me. Our waiter was busy and we could tell he was flustered. We ordered our drinks and enjoyed some chips and salsa. Nothing special to... More

I was staying at a hotel near by and just happened upon this play and decided to eat dinner. I had the GREEN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS, and they were fabulous. The chips and salsa were also good. The food was also very affordable, so would be a good place for a family. Service was also great!!

The wait was a little long but the food was very good. We always sit on the Riverwalk but it was raining, so we sat inside. The service was great (thanks, Martin) and we got our food in a timely manner.

I took my wife here for Mother's Day. She wanted to be sat at the first table available because our 1 year old son was with. Wait time was short (we sat inside). We had decent service and got our drinks quickly. Chips and salsa came with the drinks. Salsa was pretty boring and the chips were on the verge... More

This is our 4th visit to Casa Rio from various SA vacations, and are never disappointed. The atmosphere is great, on the riverbank with plenty of tables with a view. My favorite is the crispy taco plate, but all that we've had is good. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, and there's 5-6 items on the kids menu (mexican or... More

Ask to eat outside next to the river if weather permits. The salsa (hot sauce to the locals) is fresh and spicy. Try the green enchiladas for something different.

Me & my husband had lunch after coming from The Alamo and the food was great. The service was good and we sat outside by the water so we really enjoyed watching the river boats. My husband enjoyed feeding the ducks more than anything.....great fun.

Mexican food that is ok...plentiful but not the best. People watching is why it always has a crowd. Know that you are going because you will be full and the view is great.

Great location, especially if you can sit close to the river and see all the walkers, bicyclists on the river walk and the guided boat tours on the river. Chips and salsa, especially the salsa, were tasty. I ordered chicken flautas which were tasty with the added guacamole and sour cream. Very basic beans and rice. My friend had chicken... More
