Riverwalk San Antonio

I just moved back to Tx from Arizona (native Texan :) and I was totally satisfied with Casa Rio! This was actually our 2nd choice b/c the first restaurant had an hour and a 1/2 wait. I'm glad our plans changed. We walked a few blocks and Casa Rio had an hr. wait. This place is mulit leveled and right off the Riverwalk (cool scenery). Upstairs, I had a frozen rita that was not too sweet and had a great frozen consistency. I asked my brother about his rita, and the bartender over heard and asked if he'd like to try a top shelf rita instead offering to give us the first. I was appreciative b/c I know most bartenders don't take the time and feel too busy to go the extra mile. We got a table, and were greeted promptly by the server. I noticed he was sat at least 3 tables all at once and handled it perfectly. We never noticed. The queso was great and the server stayed on top of everything. My mom and I coordinated and shared 2 plates, green chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, along with a combo plate with one cheese enchilada and a bean tostada. I was pretty stuffed, but the beans and rice are good too. This was a great welcome back for me and I highly recommend Casa Rio! We got a lot for what we spent. I will definately return. Pros: Cost Cons: not a lot places to sit if waiting more

I always bring families visiting me here in San Antonio and no matter where they came from, they always love the river scene. It has something to offer for both kids and kids at heart! The Wax and Believe it or Not Museum is just across the street from the Rivercenter Mall. The boat ride is a must if you have someone who's never toured the river and it only cost 5 bucks. I recommend going there on a weekday if you can because it's packed with Air Force visiting families during Saturday and Sunday. more

Great vacation spot, relaxing and friendly people. This was my second trip there and I am anxious to go back. Pros: beautiful, friendly people, relaxing Cons: none, none, none more

I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio, about two weeks ago, a week before Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful city. I was there on a bowling tour, along with some friends. We all visiting from St. Louis, Mo. where the weather is awful cold and inconsistent. We got a chance to go to the malls, the alamo, the riverwalk, the movies, a night club, etc. I particularly like the riverwalk. We took the river ride, and had excellent tour guide name Juan, it was worth taking. The riverwalk is a must see at night. We ate at the Crab Shack, Dick's, and a nice little Bar-B-Q place across the river from Dick's. The weather was sunny in the low 70's. If I had to relocate and move my family San Antonio is where we would move. Pros: Affordable, Good atmosphere, Romantic more

When family members and friends come to visit, the first place I take them is the Riverwalk. With all it's attractions and different restruants and entertainments, you can't go wrong.

The San Antonio Riverwalk is the best for people-watching. You don't have to spend a dime, unless you choose to, and then the restaurants/coffee shops/ice cream joints are great! Enjoy! Pros: Very inexpensive, multi-faceted, good parking Cons: can be crowded, need guard rails more

I have never seen anything like the Riverwalk in San Antonio. The saff was very friendly,polite and knowledgable. The view of the foliage during the boat ride was spectacular. The idea of riding through a beautiful city in a boat was certainly a new one that proved to be very pleasant. The choices of resturaunts along the River Walk seemed to be wonderful both in variety and quality. We ate at an outside table of a Mexican resturaunt next to the water. The food was better than any Mexican food I have ever tasted and the atomosphere was great! I would go back in a minute and reccomend it to anyone! Pros: friendly,courteous st, fairly inexpensive, beautiful scenery Cons: a little crowded more

The Riverwalk is a great place for a romantic getaway. There are many nice hotels within walking distance. The Marriott is located on the Riverwalk with balconies overlooking the river and the city of San Antonio. It's a nice, comfortable and luxurious place to stay. There are also many nice restaurants and bars to choose from ranging from casual to upscale and everthing in between. At night it is lit up so nicely. You and your loved-one can enjoy a romantic dinner, go dancing or tour the Riverwalk by boat. It's also lots of fun just walking around, perusing the shops and seeing people at their best - having fun! I recommend it for families as well. more

The San Antonio Riverwalk is the most incredible attraction for tourist as well as locals. No other town in the United States has a year-round attraction that you never tire of. The people in San Antonio are so friendly - unlike any other city I have ever lived in. No one EVER gets tired of going to the riverwalk - even when you live here. There is always something to do, see, eat, live entertainment and an abundence of every type of food you could possible want. Hands down, the San Antonio Riverwalk rates a 10+ with me. Pros: great atmosphere, friendly people, fabulous resturants more

The Riverwalk is a ""must do"" experience for any visitor to San Antonio! In the Spring and Fall one can spend most of a day with their loved one just strolling along the serene walk and stopping for a bite to eat or a drink at any of the many fine establishments that abut the walk. One can even take a relaxing ride in a boat or be served a meal during a boat ride. This is San Antonio's crown jewel... Pros: Lovely, Relaxing more

San Antonio's riverwalk was the most fun I have ever had with my friends in my life. We took the cruise, ate at Hooters - TWICE!!! (San Antonio's Hooter Girls were the best looking I've seen compared to any other hooters.) The mall was wonderful, i dunno, i cant explain how fun it was, and the history and trivia - -AWESOME!!!!! Watch out for that Texas Poison Ivy. Pros: Everything Cons: toofarawayfromiowa more
