Nice looking restaurant in a cool location but …
Service and atmosphere:
Atmosphere was good. Nice music, great views of the river walk, however, this is where it ends.
Service was not the best. The staff gave impression that they couldn’t be bothered and were not attentive at all. We had to ask for small plates for starters, silverware, and napkins.
Food and drinks:
Sangria was good but, again, arrived way after the stater was served and we had to ask the waitress to check on the drinks.
Tacos were okay. Carnitas taco was dry but salsa helped to moisten it a bit.
We had to cancel the order of chips and guacamole and slaw as we waited more than 40 minutes for it.
There is no excuse for waiting this long for chips and guacamole!
Pricing:
Average.
Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this place.

The greeting walking up to the area was so inviting. We were seated with Monica who is a fantastic waitress. Her personality and vibe really set the tone for me and my partner. The atmosphere was beautiful music and over all feel was beautiful. This place is great for a family outing or a date night. Food was delicious the Salsa options are great! Definitely coming back!!! Not to mention the decore was really cute!

We had dinner and cocktails here. I had the pozole and my husband had the chicken enchiladas. The pozole was the best I’ve ever had, bursting with flavor and comfort! The chicken enchiladas too were quite flavorful! It’s a little “hole in the wall” place between 2 larger restaurants. Well worth looking for and finding this little treasure. The service was outstanding as well.

We dined here on New Year’s Eve with a reservation made well in advance (over 24 hours). Upon arrival, there was still about a 15-minute wait, which was understandable given the holiday. I had specifically requested a table with a River Walk view, but we were seated on the balcony instead. The balcony offered a nice elevated perspective and was enjoyable, though it wasn’t the direct river-view seating we’d hoped for.
The tacos al pastor tasted more like carnitas with a subtle al pastor marinade—essentially carnitas with a hint of that classic pineapple-chili flavor, rather than traditional al pastor. The carne asada tacos were solid: flavorful meat that wasn’t overly greasy. That said, the prices feel premium due to the prime River Walk location—you could find similar quality at a local taqueria or food truck for less.
The margaritas were a highlight! The frozen/slushy versions were sweetly refreshing, while the on-the-rocks ones were perfectly balanced and outstanding. We finished with the tres leches cake, which was delicious—clearly made in-house with fresh, real fruit toppings.
Service from our waiter was friendly and efficient, exactly what you’d expect, and food arrived quickly despite the busy New Year’s Eve crowd. Overall, a pleasant experience with great drinks and dessert, though the food was good but not exceptional for the price point.

This restaurant needs to improve their service and their food can definitely do little better , we have ordered guacamole which was tangy to our surprise , then rest of the food was missing its taste . The cheesy queso was really good , will definitely recommend to try it . It is the most authentic Mexican restaurant in this area but needs to improve .We ordered veggie quesadillas which tasted good and fajitas there was lack of taste in them , then we reordered it was okay but should improve . For the vibe and the cute decor , their location , right on the river walk overall are so perfect , lil bit better on improving it will be the best of river walk restaurants ,considering all this will give a 2.5/5 .

While here at River Walk decided to try this place out. Service was not good had to wait for a server we almost walked out. Someone asked if we had been waited on and let them know we hadn’t been, she said let me get someone. Someone came by mentioned I’ll bring some water. Waited finally a server we ordered fajitas they were good and drink Ojos de dragon was ok. If you choose this place make sure they acknowledge you are there and have a server ready. Hope some of the service gets better and you have a great experience here.

We had 5:30 PM reservations on New Year’s Eve. After waiting 30 minutes, our food arrived completely cold: beans, rice, and both fajita skillets. Cold meat is unacceptable.
My spouse can tolerate cold food and hates to complain, but also felt it was unacceptable. I personally will not eat cold meat, especially when I’m paying $21 for a fajita plate. I even offered for the waitress to touch the meat herself to confirm how cold it was.
Our waitress, Monica P, was excellent: apologetic, attentive, and proactive. She immediately informed the kitchen and manager advocating for us
The issue was management.
Despite being told our food was cold, the manager (Ruby) avoided our table, made eye contact, turned away, and passed by multiple times without addressing us.
There was no attempt to de-escalate, take ownership, or properly recover the experience.
The fajitas were remade and came out hot, but the beans and rice were still cold, even the second time. Does Casa Catrina serve cold beans and rice as a normal practice?
Only after my family had finished eating did the manager finally stop by with a generic, “Is everything okay?” As she turned to walk away, I had to call her back and ask if she’d been informed that all of our food originally came out cold. She said, “Yes, we are very apologetic,” and mentioned they’d be taking something off my chicken fajita plate.
$2.10 was taken off the bill essentially my military discount which felt dismissive given the situation.
Monica P deserves recognition. She was the only reason this didn’t completely blow up. She handled the situation professionally and with empathy. I truly hope servers don’t have to tip out managers like this.
Dressing cute and walking around the floor isn’t management. She needs training.
Good management shows accountability, guest engagement, and service recovery. None of that happened here. Monica P did her job well; management did not.
I won’t be returning.

What a great Mexican restaurant on the River Walk in San Antonio! From the beautiful decor to the stunning outdoor seating area, this restaurant had it all! The drinks are delicious and the food is mouthwatering! I had the enchiladas verdes and the esquites and my husband had the carne asada and esquites also! The taste was exquisite! Will definitely be returning to this culinary delight!

Casa Catrina is the kind of restaurant that instantly pulls you into a vibrant atmosphere the moment you walk through the door. The colorful décor, lively music, and warm lighting create a space that feels festive without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner that still feels a little special.
The food is where Casa Catrina really shines. The flavors are bold and authentic, with fresh ingredients that make every dish stand out. The tacos were packed with flavor, the salsa had just the right kick, and the house margaritas paired perfectly with the meal. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared.
One of the best parts of the night was sharing the experience with LeeLee and Ava. LeeLee couldn’t stop talking about how good the enchiladas were, and Ava was completely sold on the guacamole—it was creamy, fresh, and easily one of the best starters on the menu. The three of us ended up passing plates around the table just so everyone could try a bit of everything.
The service was also friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. The staff checked in often enough to make sure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of time to enjoy the meal and conversation.
Overall, Casa Catrina delivered a great mix of delicious food, welcoming service, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you’re going with friends, family, or just looking for a lively place to grab great Mexican food, it’s definitely a spot worth visiting.
