Casa Rio has been in business for more than 50 years on the San Antonio river walk, down the steps at the corner of Commerce street and Alamo Street next to the big red steel statue.

The place is popular at lunchtime when its not raining, there are plenty of tables on the riverwalk but you may have to wait a little while for a table to become vacant. We drank a couple of Alamo Ales while perusing the menu. Alamo Ale is made by Real Ale Brewing Co, I suspect it is Firemans #4 Blonde Ale with a label made just for sale in San Antonio. In any case the beer was refreshing in the autumn warmth and made a nice contrast with the spiciness from the salsa that came with the tortilla chips.
We ate a "regular plate" of Cheese Enchilada, Tamale, Chili Con Carne, Mexican Rice, and Refried Beans and a "soft taco plate" with two Chicken Soft Tacos topped with Sauce, Mexican Rice, and Refried Beans. The lunch was tasty and filling, the service was OK and the strolling Mexican musicians asked before they played. All together good value for $26 inc tip.
