Editorial Review for Casa Rio – by Retha Oliver
In Short
This venerable staple of downtown serves basic Tex-Mex fare to a capacity crowd. Prices are more reasonable than many newer Riverwalk offerings. With stucco interior, colorful tile and decor details, and waitresses with flouncy peasant dresses trimmed with bright ribbons, Casa Rio's style is one great south-of-the-border cliche. But isn't that one of the reasons why people come to the Riverwalk? Margaritas and Mexican beer help wash down the mounds of chips, cheese and beans.

This is a great place....I began eating here in the 50's while in high school....It was a great favorite!! I live out of state now, but each time I visit San Antonio....I head for this great Tex Mex food still being served on the river bank....just as good today as in the 50's.....
Pros: Lovely ...enjoy the beautiful San Antonio River and some of the best Tex Mex food in the world....

I thought this would be one of your typical tourist trap restaurants on the Riverwalk but I wanted to try it anyway because it is always the restaurant they show when the Spurs are playing on TV (dumb reason I know). I was expecting the prices to be really expensive for mediocre food, but I was wrong. The prices are actually pretty cheap and the food was pretty good. The queso and chips were excellent. Location is great right on the river. I would definitely recommend even to locals who think the Riverwalk is only for tourists.
Pros: prices, food, queso
