Warmly greeted when arrived and then staff helped us moved to a different table, which I we right along the riverwalk. Staff is very friendly and outgoing. Our server was great. Helpful with suggestions and ordering and very outgoing and professional. I had the chicken burrito which was huge and very reasonably priced. Itt tasted fresh and absolutely delicious. The chips are not too salty and the homemade salsa is spot on. We also got the chicken fajitas which again the portion was huge and everything was so fresh and delicious. This place is an absolute MUST if on the riverwalk.

Unfortunately, we had to sit inside because it was cold outside. Atmosphere was okay. Food was typical tex-mex, which was good. The blue Curaçao margaritas was very good. Survive was okay.

Got seated right away but after 30 mins we were about to leave and the server came so we ordered. Beer was not cold, and what kind of meat do they use for the fajitas. It came out right away, rice was dry on the plate and the beef fajita meat tastes so bad!! This is San Antonio how dare they. Just don’t. Texture, taste, awful sent back right away and left.

The service was slower and inattentive but I am giving grace as we had a large party. The food was messy, greasy, and over priced for the smaller portions. They charge for chips and salsa that I did not ask for. They brought the chips and salsa well before we ordered anything to drink. The nicest feature is being able to sit next to the riverwalk.
There are several other options I’d recommend over this one.

Bear with me here, My Husband and I came in from San Francisco to visit family, we love the aesthetic of the riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. While we were enjoying our margaritas together by the water this lady sitting with another woman started shouting “My name is Hannah Webber! And I demand you do what I say” Followed by a few inapplicable remarks that were very degrading towards the staff. Pointing her finger to the manager while he was trying to help her out and calm her down. If we had someone try to workout a situation like that our experience would’ve only been better. But just how disrespectful she was to the staff blatantly insulting her waiter then demanding for the staffs mailing address was completely inappropriate. My husband was very upset and almost told her something for Pestering the workers. We felt very bad. The rest of our night went well after that. The food was okay but our waiter was very friendly and the margaritas were delicious. We also got to hang around and didn’t feel like we were being rushed out or bothered while we enjoyed the scenery.

Went here as the wait time at a neighboring establishment was super long and this place had no wait (should’ve been a tell tale sign). Took forever for a server to arrive, but no worries, its a friday evening and they are busy, i get it. However, the part that blew my mind, is the food took over 75 minutes to come out. Just 2 of us. Basic entrees. No alcohol ordered. I ordered the beef fajitas and they only gave me 2 very small (albeit delicious tortillas). The beef was dried up and hard to pull apart. Rice was so so. Horchata was made from mix. The brand was rather depressing too. They all seemed like very nice gentleman, truly, but I don’t understand the businesses philosophy in having to pay $20 for 1 song. We were there all in all around 2 hours and we didn’t hear them play once. Wouldve been nice if they just played every now and again in a central area for the whole restaurant to hear. Probably would attract more customers. Unfortunately between the dead service, questionable beef, and lack of ambiance, I won’t be returning.

Would come back. Drinks are very good. 32oz margaritas are a must. Beef tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. Very spacious indoor and outdoor seating with great views of of river.

Honestly we were a little skeptical about stopping here due to other reviews, but the chips and salsa drew us in and I’m glad that it did!! We have a great waiter who was friendly and our food came out so fast. My husband and I were both very happy with our meals and I honestly had no complaints. Would recommend stopping!

This menu needs a refresher and potentially changing of the management. How can you serve Tostitos chips or similar instead of true restaurant style chips. The menu if lacking a lot of options. The chips and salsa are an upcharge of $1, which is fine but it’s not quality. The food items taste like the cheapest option they can purchase.
Hopefully the owners read theses reviews and not only the managers because I would completely recommend a change.
The servers are good people and deserve better. They could have a packed house with better quality foods and an improved menu.
The location has so much potential, they can seriously do better.

The food was not authentic Mexican food at all. The nachos plate was 8 pieces of chips with beans pasted on them with weird large chunks of meat that didn’t taste fresh with some sort of velveta cheese thing melted on them. There was no flavor to the food at all! Don’t waste your money, get real Mexican food elsewhere please! Try Maria Bonita if you’re outside the river walk.
