Fred is the best waiter and so passionate about answering our questions about the drinks we ordered 😂. Mama Mia- We loved our frozen prickly pear frozen margarita, yummy. And both of our meals. We will be back. Thank you

Great service! Mark and Kevin handled our group of over 20 people and got everything out to us in a friendly, and accurate way. The food was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect, we all agreed, this place is fantastic. I just really appreciate how friendly and fun the staff was too. Great place for our conference!

Man, we came back to see jazzy. And jazzy made our life so amazing. Jeevan, gave us our phone and we took it. We pawned it in for money. Just kidding she was a ton of fun and we really appreciate everything she did for us on the Riverwalk. We had a great time and she was a lot of fun and helped us have a great experience on the Riverwalk.

Alex, Jessica, Anahi were absolutely outstanding. They were professional, courteous, and explained the numerous questions my party and I had. Highly recommend as the food, drinks, and especially the service were top notch. If you want an experience on the riverwalk, this is the place to go!

Loved it here! We were seated quickly and the food was incredible. Their margaritas were great, tables idea quac was worth it, and fajitas were great! I didn't feel rushed to leave. Would definitely make it a stop next time I come to San Antonio!

Very pleased with our meals. The Rita’s original enchiladas were delicious and served with rice and beans. We got the appetizer of salsa and chips and the salsa was very good. Obed who was our waiter was great has got refills when needed and was friendly. In fact all employees were friendly, the manager stopped at the table to check on things and I observed the bus boys interacting with people and were very pleasant. Very good spot and has 10% discount for military.

Very nice casual dinning by the Riverwalk - portions are pretty generous and drinks are so good!

Richard K was our waiter. He was amazing very personable steers in the right direction with the right food to eat. Everything was amazing.

Tasty and generously sized breakfast tacos. We've been sampling breakfast tacos at San Antonio restaurants for over 30 years and these are in the top 5.

Excellent location good taste good price. However, they need to pay attention to the details like bathroom, fan, and general cleaning

My party of 5 was blown away yesterday. Absolute best Tex Mex of our trip. As a group, we enjoyed the table-side fresh guac, two types of enchiladas, chalupas, quesadilla and fish tacos. The tort…

The enchiladas and fajitas were delicious our waiter "sorry I didn't remember his name" was great very attentive to us and All of his tables. Will definitely be dining with them again.

I loved all the food and especially the quesadillas. The server was amazing, her name is Codi. You should really give her a raise! Her guacamole was incredible, it’s the best I’ve had:)

Had a couple cocktails, appetizers and early dinner on the Riverwalk with some colleagues. We walked from the hotel along the Riverwalk and enjoyed the sites, but parking seems tight. Our timing was good so indoor or outdoor seating was available, but it can get busy and a reservation may be needed. Food and drinks were good. Nothing amazing, but all items tasty to everyone's liking. Sitting on the Riverwalk was enjoyable. Overall a good option if seeking Mexican food on the Riverwalk.

My daughter and I had dinner here. The service was good they promptly seated us. they stay very busy and the night before there was a 45 minute wait so we caught a good time the next day.. the food was good, came fast and all server was very efficient and kind. Especially I noted that he was really working on the very stressful situation with the amount of crowds that was there. so I would advise if you could come to this restaurant check it out.

We picked Rita’s because of the outdoor seating right on the river, and it didn’t disappoint—the view and atmosphere were perfect. The hostess was very kind and got us seated right away. It did take awhile before our server came over (we had to flag someone down), but once we placed our order, the food came out surprisingly fast. Everything we tried was tasty, and we enjoyed the meal. That said, we’re spoiled by an excellent Mexican restaurant back home in Mt. Vernon, so in comparison, we’d give the food here 4 stars. Still, a beautiful spot to dine along the river!

The service is great. But the food was awful. I guess they figure they have tourists who are gonna stop by and not know any better. I got the Texas plate and it looked like two blobs of vomit on the …

To begin the server was really good. I find the food was mediocre and overpriced. There isn't that much of a selection as compared to other places.

The food was very enjoyable drinks were also good Our server was not! 2 hrs in a Mexican restaurant is not acceptable. But..management did the right thing and made things right. (That's why they go…

Stopped by for drinks and an appetizer. The queso with beef was decent and chips were meh. Menu seemed a bit pricy for the options but probably due to location on River Walk.

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability. I understand there is a lot of money to be made by selling alcoholic beverages to tourists and locals alike who wished to enjoy it upon the river walk. But it feels quite sacrilege to see it all served in single used plastics that pollute the very ecosystem people come here to enjoy. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastics we produce and consume to not actually get recycled, but rather end up piled in landfills, burned in incinerators, or floating off in our waterways. These plastics never really disappear, but rather breakdown into micro plastics that leech chemicals into our bodies. I wonder if there are alternatives you could consider for your patrons. Is there a Riverwalk association you could work with, to reduce the sheer amount of plastic trash you create on a daily basis? Could you look into compostable cups, and work with an organization that could help provide the infrastructure through which to retrieve these compostable cups, and indeed make sure they are processed? Because surely, this can’t be accepted as normal. Single use plastics did not enter the mainstream until the 1970s, and now they feel nearly inescapable. I know there are ways you could mitigate this problem, and help Texans—and those visiting Texas—be better TO Texas. Thank you for your consideration. Could you incentivize that folks bring their own cups, to reuse?

Our meal was delicious but ruined by the worst service we have ever experienced. We had a party of 13 so expected slower service. But rarely even saw our server with even a small request for chips or drinks came with several reminders. We were there for THREE HOURS with the last 40 minutes of that waiting on ONE drink. Once the server finally returned, he left to go check on the drink and we didnt see him again for 22 minutes. Even with all of that we left him a $120. tip (30%) only to get home, in reviewing the bill, and seeing that they charged us $12.50 for "one order sopapillas for 'OLD LADY' birthday!?!! Im sorry WHAT?? Cant believe they printed that on the bill!! That used to be our favorite place on the riverwalk. Never again. Thank you "Mark N" I hope you enjoy your tip and please do better in the future.

Thanksgiving 2025. Rita’s on the river Visiting for holiday. First night in town was your restaurant. Food was amazing a server did a great job. So decided to return for lunch on FRIDAY. WOW It was a totally different experience .Food was still amazing. However, staff wasn’t no where the same. Server( Dasia P ) never came back not even to be paid. Had to get someone, at that point it was a manager, she laughed at me.So head manger came over couldn’t believe how staff treated us. Go for the food not the Staff

I ordered the beef Fajitas. On a scale of 1 to 10 they were 0. There is no marinade no seasoning just terrible. Beans were dried out
