The Original Mexican Restaurant

The Original Mexican Restaurant on the River Walk is a classic San Antonio Tex-Mex spot that's been serving locals and tourists for decades. The River Walk patio location is a fun spot. Kids love watching the boats go by while digging into cheese enchiladas, crispy tacos, and queso. While it's touristy, the food is solid traditional Tex-Mex and the atmosphere is quintessentially San Antonio. A great intro to River Walk dining for families.
