Very pleased with our meals. The Rita’s original enchiladas were delicious and served with rice and beans. We got the appetizer of salsa and chips and the salsa was very good. Obed who was our waiter was great has got refills when needed and was friendly. In fact all employees were friendly, the manager stopped at the table to check on things and I observed the bus boys interacting with people and were very pleasant. Very good spot and has 10% discount for military.

Rita’s on the Riverwalk was a wonderful experience overall. Steven, our server, was amazing and attentive. The doors were open and the fresh breeze from the Riverwalk was soothing and lent much to the ambience. People were laughing, eating and just having a great time. We were seated very quickly. My sister had a regular frozen margarita, which was so much better than the one she previously had at another Riverwalk restaurant, Margaritaville (horrible experience!!)
The prices at Rita’s on the Riverwalk are very reasonable for this area and the food!! Let me tell you about the food.. We started with Salsa and Chips. The chips are light and crunchy, not like some places that are too thick. The salsa was really good, definitely homemade. We ordered Queso which was creamy and oh so delish!! I had the Shrimp tacos, oh my goodness they were absolutely delicious and very filling. The shrimp were coated with a light breading and were cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the Street Tacos and she says they were some of the best she has tasted. My advice? Stay away from the commercialized places like Margaritaville and stick with places like Rita’s on the Riverwalk if you want a fun atmosphere, awesome food, kickass margaritas and superb service, all for a reasonable price.

Had a couple cocktails, appetizers and early dinner on the Riverwalk with some colleagues. We walked from the hotel along the Riverwalk and enjoyed the sites, but parking seems tight. Our timing was good so indoor or outdoor seating was available, but it can get busy and a reservation may be needed. Food and drinks were good. Nothing amazing, but all items tasty to everyone’s liking. Sitting on the Riverwalk was enjoyable. Overall a good option if seeking Mexican food on the Riverwalk.

We loved our first time here! ASK FOR MARK! He was the most incredible server! Kind, incredibly quick, attentive, out of the world service. The food was incredible, we had the tortilla soup, it was delicious. Best dish of the night. We also had the pork tacos and chicken enchiladas. Both were out of this world. We can’t wait to come back!

Dinner along the river…
Last Christmas holiday we went to San Antonio with our friends and had dinner at this place. Mojito, House Marg Rox, Strawberry Mojito mocktail and Mule mocktail we ordered as beverages were delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food serving time was not too long. We ordered Riverwalk Queso in appetizer and Chicken Enchiladas, Street Tacos, Pork stuffed Poblano for main meal. The food we tasted was good, although we probably need to improve our palates for the pork-stuffed poblano. Overall, we had a great time and loved the atmosphere.

Rita’s Mexican Restaurant was fantastic! The drinks were delicious and perfectly made, and the guacamole was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Its location right on the River Walk was perfect and made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

Anthony was our server. He was so kind and attentive. Excellent customer service. He even brought water for our dogs!

I’m thankful the restaurant was open late- but not thankful for me and my kids to breathe in cigarette smoke on the patio. Subtracted from an overall excellent experience. Food was yummy. Queso was delicious. The tomatillos sauce was so good!

My daughter and I had dinner here. The service was good they promptly seated us. they stay very busy and the night before there was a 45 minute wait so we caught a good time the next day.. the food was good, came fast and all server was very efficient and kind. Especially I noted that he was really working on the very stressful situation with the amount of crowds that was there. so I would advise if you could come to this restaurant check it out.

Came here for the first time on a very busy weekend. I googled “family friendly dinner and drinks riverwalk” since it was close to 10 pm and we had our teenage son with us. We got seated pretty quickly. Our server, Bash (unsure if that’s his real name but that’s what his name tag said ) was very kind and efficient. We ordered the pork poblano and Texas plate, 2 beers for $8 each and a Mexican Coke. All was very good! Also love the lively ambiance. Will definitely be back!

We picked Rita’s because of the outdoor seating right on the river, and it didn’t disappoint—the view and atmosphere were perfect. The hostess was very kind and got us seated right away. It did take awhile before our server came over (we had to flag someone down), but once we placed our order, the food came out surprisingly fast. Everything we tried was tasty, and we enjoyed the meal. That said, we’re spoiled by an excellent Mexican restaurant back home in Mt. Vernon, so in comparison, we’d give the food here 4 stars. Still, a beautiful spot to dine along the river!
