    Lunch combination plate, 2 fish filets & 2 shrimp. Substituted rice for veggies.
    Lou C.

    I've been a fan of La Playa for years & have dined at all three San Antonio locations. You can expect very good seafood at a great value, plus consistency! Whether it's fried, grilled, baked or pan seared, there's plenty of seafood options available on the menu. La Playa's fried food is never greasy & tastes amazing! The fried shrimp in my opinion, is one of the best I've ever tasted. Even though the menu does offer some exotic selections, I tend to stick to the basics. My favorite menu entrees include the Shrimp Quesadilla Plate & the Fish & Shrimp Plate. The shrimp cocktail sauce & tarter sauce is made in house & always fresh. Complimentary chips & salsa is served, as well a condiment basket upon ordering. Restaurant staff are always courteous & provide good customer service.

    Seafood soup

    Very good seafood, their soups are delicious, the breading on the fish and shrimp is very light. Chips and salsa as you sit. They also have tex mex dishes that I would like to try! Friendly staff and clean restaurant. I would definitely recommend you try the food you will not be disappointed.

    Ok 4 stars!! A little big deal, if they weren't doing construction while ppl were eating and the jamaica (hibiscus tea) was all artificial and sugary. Hint*The flowers are not that expensive invest in good drinks it will pay off. They could have gotten five stars. The shrimp and fish ceviche was good just add some fresh lime. The garlic butter grill fish was flaky and flavorful. The waiter was so sweet to suggest and bring things I needed. Will be back when I pass through San Antonio again.

    Copa Gigante cocktail and Caldo Jaiva. Delicious!

    Simply great food! Loved the variety of seafood cocktails they have. The octopus in our COPA GIGANTE was done perfectly, so tender. The large was enough for four of us as an appetizer or could have been a whole meal for me. We also loved there papusas.

    Killer shrimp cocktail

    Shrimp cocktail simply amazing, only way to improve is add some vodka for a shrimp bloody mary, the three stuffed crab was good, a little on the bland side after their salsa which had a little zest, they said they were homemade but they are breaded and deep fried I would rather get one less or even two less and have them overstuffed and baked. The staff was lovely very helpful. I Would definitely recommend this restaurant

    I went for dinner yesterday and was pleasantly surprised, being from Louisiana I'm partial to fresh seafood prepared correctly. Service was friendly and quick, menu selection was above average, value was great. I had the oyster and shrimp cocktail that I really enjoyed. I also had the fried fish, shrimp, oysters, and frog leg with French fries. It was all good, could have had a little more seasoning but I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will go back for lunch today

I ordered the fried…read morecatfish & fried wing plate with cabbage, yams, cornbread a tropical punch beverage and peach cobbler. The cabbage was somewhat spicy, the cornbread muffin was a half muffin, the muffin did not fill up the cupcake muffin wrapper. But the fried catfish, fried chicken wings and yams were on point, I would order the catfish and chicken wing plate to go anyday! The peach cobbler was very sweet. My daughter ordered meatloaf, a pork chop plate, Mac & cheese, collard greens, cornbread muffin, a tropical punch beverage and banana pudding which I felt the pudding was watered down vs. being thick. She asked for medium cooked pork chops and one pork chop was medium and one pork chop was over cooked. She notified the cashier and he stated they both were cooked at temp the same time. The collard greens were spicy and the Mac & cheese were watered down. I had to go to the restroom. This was the worst restroom in any restaurant I have ever used. First, there was no light on, I had to ask for light and one of the employees turned on the light. Secondly, there was an awful hole in the top right corner ceiling, I was afraid to use the restroom for fear of some bug crawling in through the ceiling hole. Third, there was also a hole in the wall visible behind the toilet tank top, again I was afraid to set down on the toilet and the whole bathroom decor was unappealing. When other patrons described this establishment as as "HOLE IN THE WALL" they were absolutely correct. Don't forget about the hole in the ceiling! Entering into the building, the walls and ceiling were black, making the atmosphere sad. There was also a small bar to the left of the dining area. But the kicker for me was, our two meals, two beverages, and two desserts cost $61!!! As many Soul Food Restaurant I have eaten in with my daughter for two people, I have never been charged so much for two soulfood meals with two beverages and two desserts. RECOMMEDATION: Of course my palate is different from other customers, but I would never return to the establishment due to being over charged for two meals, two beverages, two desserts and the lady's restroom was the pits.

The menu is exciting and the concept is definitely there--but unfortunately, my dining experience didn't quite live up to it. I ordered the pecan-crusted trout, which had a nice texture but lacked flavor and seasoning. The dirty rice was also underwhelming, with very little depth or seasoning, and the calamari was a bit rubbery. Overall, the food just didn't hit the mark for me. Service was also a bit inconsistent. During dinner, I found myself having to get up to grab my own salt and pepper, as well as my own place setting, which took away from the experience. That said, I did have a much better interaction the day before when my wife and I stopped by for a glass of champagne at the bar--the bartender was lovely and welcoming. On a positive note, the location is beautiful--right along the River Walk, which makes for a great ambiance and setting. I'd consider giving it another try, but hoping for more consistency in both food and service next time.

R&R is part of a hotel and since the weather was really nice, we decide to sit on the outdoor patio facing the river walk. They have a happy hour menu that runs from 3-6 pm and includes beer, wine and liquor specials and 8 small plate food options. I start off with a margarita on the rocks. When it comes out, the drink is good but could've used a bit more lime in the mix but not bad. For food, I go with the fried shrimp and catfish nuggets. When they come out, the plates are larger than expected and both come with fries. This could easily be shared with two or three people. Everything was friend to perfection, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and seasoned well. The plates were wiped clean. I ordered a house pinot noir and it was a good. I didn't catch the brand name but would order it again. Overall, this was a great first experience at Roam & Range and will look forward to coming back to try more of the menu. Due to it's location, parking can be tricky so prep ahead.
