Hubby and I wanted a drink so we randomly stopped at Cafe Ole’s outside bar. We met Gina G., the bartender and she is amazing! Her knowledge of drinks and recommendations are on point. When she mixes up your drinks they hit the mark and presentation is perfect.

Highly recommend the King George Margarita with tajin on the rim and the Maria’s Mango Fresca. The free tortilla chips and fresh salsa are the perfect compliment!

Sit at the outside bar with a fresh drink at Cafe Ole and people watch…BONUS if you get to have Gina as your bartender!

Can’t beat the experience of dining along the riverfront here. Fans blowing and shaded trees.
I asked for grilled chicken for my small salad, which is still good size, and the chicken was cold and dry.
The burritos are good size, however their frys are not crispy and just blah.
Mark was are waiter and was attentive.

My boyfriend and I came last minute on Valentine’s Day, they sat us right away! And not to mention right on the river walk with an amazing view! From there our experience was only elevated, our server was AMAZING, 10/10 service, very attentive and food was so delicious, definitely made my night. Was the perfect date night on the riverwalk and definitely will be back!

Cafe Ole seems to thrive purely on its prime location along the bustling San Antonio River Walk, where foot traffic is guaranteed on any nice day. Unfortunately, that’s about the only thing it has going for it—I’d recommend dozens of other Mexican restaurants in the area before suggesting this one to anyone.

We started with margaritas, which were just okay—nothing memorable or worth the hype. The complimentary chips arrived stale, setting a disappointing tone right away. For our entrees, I went with the smoked brisket tacos, and I have to say, it was the driest brisket I’ve ever encountered in my life. In Texas, of all places, that’s inexcusable; brisket should be a point of pride, not a letdown.

Service was equally underwhelming. Our server took forever to even take our initial orders, and when drinks finally started arriving, they came out one at a time—with the kids’ drinks served dead last. My wife ordered a beer, which showed up in a room-temperature can alongside a chilled glass; the server called it the “kitchen’s compromise.” We sent it right back. Then the food rollout was the same story: plates trickled out one by one, again with the kids’ meals landing last. Most family-friendly spots prioritize getting kids’ food out first to keep everyone settled, but not here.

Needless to say, I strongly advise skipping Cafe Ole and heading to a different spot on the River Walk or elsewhere in San Antonio. There are far better options for authentic Mexican fare and decent service.

The restaurant has a lively ambiance and is located in a great spot on the river walk. However, the food quality could still be improved. I ordered steak and fried shrimp, which was okay but could have been much better, especially the steak. Despite this, the overall vibe was lovely and pleasant.

The elote and drinks were amazing! The view couldn’t be better and the service was excellent. The battered fish taco didn’t taste that great cause I think the oil they fry in it was maybe a little dirty but I still had a wonderful time.

The food was microwaved and not fresh tasty or authentic. Might as well have had Taco Bell. If you wanted to run a franchise you should have bought a Taco Bell. Do better. I spent over $100 for dinner for a family of three and I’m fine doing that as long as it’s worth it.
