The Original Mexican Restaurant

If you are looking for a classic Riverwalk experience, this spot delivers on the atmosphere. Sitting right by the water offers some of the best people-watching in San Antonio, and the festive, old-school decor makes for a nice backdrop. The food, however, was just okay. It covers all the Tex-Mex staples—enchiladas, tacos, and margaritas—but nothing particularly stood out as a "must-have." The flavors were standard, and while the portions were decent, the pricing definitely reflects the "tourist" location rather than a hidden culinary gem. Service was friendly enough, though it can get a bit slow which that's you expected when it's a tourist spot, when the patio fills up. It's a solid choice if you want to soak in the Riverwalk vibes without overthinking your meal, but there are definitely more flavorful spots if you’re willing to walk a few blocks away from the water.

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.

Yvette made our experience here perfect. She was extremely attentive (even during a busy time), got our order right, & had an amazing personality. Customer service like hers is hard to come by nowadays. She made our experience here a 10/10. She deserves any bonus, promotion, raise that can come her way!! Ask for Yvette!

Absolute trash!!! Cold, barely cooked chicken, Play-Doh for beans. The best thing in the restaurant was the chips and salsa. You should be ashamed of yourself. Staff were friendly.
