Beyer, sits on land first granted title in 1777 by the King of Spain. The Spanish Colonial period hacienda became the core of the new business. The cedar door and window lintels, the fireplace, and thick rock walls, are still evident inside the building. Casa Rio was the first San Antonio business to open its doors to the River and take advantage of the River's setting. Canoes, gondolas, and paddle boats, evolving into tour and dinner boats, began here and helped create the Riverwalk of today.

Some of the most recognizable views in San Antonio start right here 📍

When Casa Rio opened in 1946 as the first restaurant on the river, its colorful umbrellas brought shade, contrast, and a sense of celebration to the space. Today, they remain one of the most iconic sights in the city.

We traded margaritas for a little Irish luck yesterday 🍀🌮

The river was flowing, the music was loud, and somehow the Lime Traditional Margaritas kept finding their way next to our food! From festive floats to full plates, St. Patrick’s Day hit different at Casa Rio!

Same flavor, just a little extra shamrock today.

Until next year… we’ll keep the fiesta going !
