Rita’s on the River is a premier Tex-Mex restaurant located along the historic San Antonio River Walk. For decades, we have welcomed locals and visitors alike to experience authentic flavors, vibrant hospitality, and one of the most iconic dining views in the city.

In addition to our restaurant, we host interactive culinary experiences in Rita’s Test Kitchen, our private cooking and event space overlooking the River Walk. Our hands-on cooking classes are designed to celebrate the rich traditions behind Tex-Mex and Latino cuisine while creating a fun, memorable experience for guests.

During our classes, guests learn the techniques and cultural stories behind classic dishes such as tamales, guacamole, and other regional favorites. Each event combines live instruction, participation, and great food in a relaxed and social environment.

Whether you're visiting San Antonio, looking for a unique date night, planning a team-building event, or simply want to learn something new in the kitchen, Rita’s Test Kitchen offers a one-of-a-kind culinary experience right on the River Walk.

Come hungry, learn something new, and enjoy the flavors that make Tex-Mex cuisine so special.
