The Original Mexican Restaurant & Bar

bacon cooked hard like a brick but it's thick and delish! pretty sure they replaced my chorizo with jimmy dean and the coffee pot was in desperate need of cleaning . i could smell the mold in my cup

Margaritas are 2x as much here than Casa Rio down the way. The food is more Tex-Mex than real Mexican :( great riverside seating though!!

Nachos and margaritas . Enough said. Almost. Don’t forget the chimi as big as your head and a really good house salsa .

This place is open 24/7 serving food and drinks. The chimichanga was delish! Great place to wind down the night.

Family owned. Great food and seating outside ! The salsa is perfect and spicy .

Amazing taco selection, tasty salsa . This is a Riverwalk favorite for me!

The cheese enchiladas with chile con queso are amazing. Sit on the patio away from the riverwalk traffic.

Good food, great drinks. Even better prices. Atmosphere is awesome. Best of all... Open 24/7

Just know that when you order the Irish coffee , you're basically going to get Irish whiskey with a splash of coffee . Intense. Puts hair on your chest.

Everything you read about this restaurant is true. I am Asian and hardly had Mexican food like ever and I am sure this is not what Mexican food is like. Save yourself while you can, go next door!

As the waiter proudly proclaimed "better than Taco Bell!" Margaritas are premade so don't bother trying to upgrade. Overall satisfying based on reasonable (low) expectations.

The burrito is enormous!!! They have pretty good service too. (:

If your wearing 6 inch heals at a convention then go to to this restaurant don't ask for a drink! Because your feet r killing you the bar tender will assume your drunk quit embarrassing!

This place is open 24/7 so when you're craving something cheesy and greasy after you leave the bar , this is the place you want to come to.

Idk why everyone gave horrible reviews! This place isn't that damn bad! Lol! I had the fish tacos which were great! A wee bit salty but nothing a little water can't wash down. Great flavor too!

Side Rice is tastles, carne guisada the worst I've ever had, chile con queso eeww... and they served incomplete my order. It was written there...!! Where is my guacamole ? Never coming back!

Possibly the only place on the riverwalk open for breakfast ..

Great breakfast selection and open 24/7.

Get the table by the river ! The breakfast is DELICIOUS!

The Long Island iced teas are on point ???? but the guacamole is a let down

The chips and salsa are the best things on the menu. Had the enchiladas suiza . Beans were a little salty, sauce tasty like it was made from a "just add water" packet and the chicken was dry.

Great food and quick service ! Lunch is a good time to go!

Enchiladas Suesa (spelling?) are amazing! Service and the mariachi band were great!

The giant burrito was huge!

Order the Azul margarita on the rocks, so good.

Best traditional food from Mexico !

It's the only Mexican restaurant on the Riverwalk that's open 24 hours a day. Perfect for a snack on the stumble back to the hotel .

Good food and service! Lunch is a great time to eat here

Great place to sit in the river and drink a sangrita - sangria margarita mixed ! Yum-O

Real nice food!! Really does taste like mexican!! Try the enchiladas suizas .

I wish I would have read the reviews before we sat down! The service was great. The food was mediocre at best. Definitely not the more authentic (than I can get in Ohio) experience I was hoping for!

The complimentary salsa is great for nasal congestion.

Share the chimichangas - they're huge!

Excellent salsa and guacamole !

Food is bland and service is amateur hour. Keep on strolling to any other place along the river .

Get the queso !!!

Touristy . Over priced. I just came here to sit down. The service was horrible.

Great place to sit outside for breakfast before the rest of the Riverwalk wakes up!

Only place on riverwalk open 24/7!!

Good food sangria .

Cool breakfast spot until noon. They we drink and be Taco .

This place will make you never want a burrito from Chipotle again. No, not because they're better here, but because after eating here you'll never want a burrito again. It's expensive here

Try the salsa !! You won't be disappointed.

The Original 1899 is EXCELLENT!

If you're here and you're not drunk or it's not the only place open, you fucked up.

I didn't think it was possible to mess up nachos but this place definitely succeeded in doing so. HORRIBLE food, margaritas & service!!! Stay away, others were correct.. Taco Bell would've been better

Don't eat here if you like Mexican food . The Enchiladas Suisas sauce was just melted sour cream . Not recommended.

Great service. The food was average.

Pay attention to the tips below and do not waste your time or your money here! The service isn't bad, but the food is terrible and there are far too many other options on the River Walk.

Words can not describe how bad the food was.... Microwave everything
