Went here for dinner yesterday and it was lovely!! Staff were very friendly, indoor was a very cool vibe, colorful, dimly lit, riverwalk in the back, pretty bar. Food came out really quick and was great, they are very vegetarian friendly, we asked the chips to not be fried in tallow and they happily accommodated. Drinks were huge and also very good, got the 05 and frozen marg- also great happy Hour specials, would recommend!! read more

Food had great portions and service was great and attentive. We ordered the beef fajita nachos and the chicken Tinga tacos. The tacos were okay. The chicken and guac were great but the corn tortillas tasted like they just came out of a bag so maybe stick to flour. The rice and beans were good. The three tacos were packed full and large portions of rice and beans so definitely bang for your buck. The nachos were great and there were a lot of them. Great deal for the price! Sat at the bar on a Thursday night but there were plenty of open tables. Lots of seating inside and outside. read more

We were staying in the Travis building and found this restaurant in the back with a view of the river so we decided to try it on our last night and were glad we did! The margaritas were the best we have had in our San Antonio. As we had a big lunch, we decided to try a couple of appetizers. We chose the guacamole and ceviche. Both were excellent! Our server, Areli, made sure we were well taken care of. I can't speak highly enough of her. This is the quiet end of the river which was very welcoming after a day in the crowds. We plan on coming back to San Antonio and intend to make this one of our first stops so we can try other things on the menu. Must try if you are in town! read more

Came here with a group while on a work trip. All around great visit, the drinks were good. The service was great, our waiter was fantastic. The ambiance was nice, and all the food we tried was very good. I'm pretty sure the next time I'm back in San Antonio I'll stop by again. It's a good time. read more

We walked along the quiet end of the Riverwalk. Climb up the exit Taylor building and the restaurant is right and the stairway. It's has patio overlooking the nice view of the Riverwalk and inside decor is nice but over done. The staff are nice and attentive and introduce the menus well. We ordered ceviche, guacamole, and red fish taco. All of them taste fresh and ok. The guacamole is a like too salty and smooth to my taste, and the ceviche is a little overcooked. The red fish taco is good but the Cole slaw seems to be out of place. It is family meal. It's good but could be better. read more

Real Mexican ambiance with all the wait staff in period dress. Thought I was in Mexico. Dine inside or outside by the riverwalk. The chicken fajita was fantastic and the chicken with yellow rice was delicious. After so many bad experiences on the riverwalk, we were so happy to finally enjoy a really good meal read more

Our first visit to San Antonio & we are enjoying the Tex Mex! We sat outside on the patio, above the Riverwalk - great view & we appreciated that this is a quieter spot. Chips & salsa is different & very good - the salsa has a nice kick. I got the veggie relleños - delicious & the sauces were great. My husband got the red fish tacos. Also really good, the fish was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. read more

This place is a little further down the Riverwalk where it is quiet and less touristy. With outdoor seating along the river, it is beautiful and peaceful. They are relatively new and closing early so make sure to get there by 7:30 for dinner. We are from Los Angeles and were looking for a more authentic Mexican menu, with the LA flare as my husband is vegetarian. I looked at seven or eight menus, and none of them had great options that did not involve meat or fish. Luz Roja was the only one that had several dishes that went beyond just cheese, including vegetables in an enchilada and chili relleno- perfect! The vegetarian enchiladas with the garlic white rice that my husband had was piping hot and delicious. He was very happy. I got the Cochinita Pibil Tacos with Spanish rice. They plate was beautiful, but as far as spice they were lacking. I'm used to this dish being spicier. Probably more designed for this area. My food wasn't quite as hot as my husband's, but besides that it was also delicious. Johnathan was our waiter and he was an absolute delight! We came near the end of closing, so got more time to chat about San Antonio and he was kind and personable and wanted to ensure we had a great experience at the restaurant. If you were looking to get away from the crowds and enjoy a delicious meal, this is the place. read more

Delicious fresh TexMex food with a traditional spin. Friendly service and great job accommodating food intolerances. Lovely breezy, shady patio right on the Riverwalk. More signage on the back entrance (Ideally a menu marquee ) would be helpful to indicate the restaurant is upstairs. Fortunately, my intuition and the girl sitting on the bench at the top of the stairs led us right. read more

We were searching for great Tex Mex food and we found it! We were greeted at the door by a fabulous hostess with great energy! Our waiter Jonathan (sorry if I spelled it wrong) did a wonderful job. He attended to our needs and also gave us privacy. He kept our water topped off and asked if we needed anything. I ordered a Brisa and it was delicious! We ordered guacamole and it hit the spot. Each of us were extremely happy with meal our choices. The restaurant has secluded rooms and an open space, as well as outdoor seating. Definitely worth the walk with aching feet. read more

I went here with others whose friends had highly recommended this establishment. No question the setting is perfect, the decor outstanding. I loved the location. But I will not return. Restaurants whose servers brag about utilizing beef tallow are not going to impress me, sorry. If this is a nod to non-fact-based claims by "experts" with no medical background, it's lost on this biomedical science graduate. Appalling insertion of MAGA/MAHA ideology on restaurant cuisine. read more

I work close and decided to come over for lunch. I had the chips and salsa, bistec torta, and classic margarita (mind your business). All were very good! The inside was pretty and was very well redone (RIP blanco cafe). They have a nice chill patio overlooking the river. Chips you had to pay for, which I think is a bummer, but were super good and the salsa had a lot of flavor. Torta was super flavorful and was a good size. I very much enjoyed it. The marg wasn't huge, but was done well and had a good kick. Service was good and Connor was attentive. Food came out pretty quickly. It's a "nicer" type Mexican place, but I'll definitely come back. read more

Went for lunch the ambiance and service was superb. My friend and I tried the bistec torta and the cochinita pibil torta. Both very flavorful-- I would order the bistec, it appeared more loaded and filling. I will go back to try their ceviche and margaritas. read more

Luz Roja Tex Mex - Cochinita pibil torta with rice - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Delicious. We started with Guacamole, chips and salsa - the Guac was fresh, almost light, and the Margaritas were well crafted. For dinner, three of us shared the traditional beef fajitas with wonderfully cooked veggies, and the shrimp relleno, and both were delicious. And the flan - best I've had in Texas or anywhere. The ambiance, with several rooms, keeps the conversation to normal levels, which is commendable. Well worth the visit to downtown. The connected parking garage is convenient and the staff will validate your parking so it is free. read more

Wow. So good. Came from Albuquerque for some good ole Tex Mex and this hit the spot. Had the combo enchilada taco plate with a great spot on the river and a bit away from the busier part of the river walk but still a very short walk away read more

Had the Tex Mex cheese enchiladas with chili con carne sauce and LOTS of cheese. Spanish rice and refried beans. Pretty good for the price. The classic margarita was a little sour but okay. Overall good. Service was good. Forgot to add. No complementary chips or salsa were provided. Nor flour tortillas. Never had this happen before. Cheapskates. read more

Great food, drinks and service. Loved the shrimp chile relleno and fajitas. The margaritas were excellent as well.

Really excellent food. Got the beef fajitas. Some of the best fajitas I've ever eaten. Tall fried chips are delicious and nutritious. Service was good. Watch out for those half liter Mexican cokes. Excellent service from the manager, Edward and server Conner. Highly recommended I will definitely be back. read more

Quite good. Not on the main drag of the River Walk, which is a plus I think. Great service and very good food. Margaritas are yummy. Would return if in San Antonio again. read more

Got the opportunity to come to Luz Roja's soft opening event. They have a really nice restaurant area which included a nice little private dining space for 8 and an outdoor area as well. Everything we sampled from Chicken and Beef Fajitas to the Charro Beans to the Mole Chicken was phenomenal. We also, of course, loved our margaritas. Look forward to this space opening and coming back!! read more

Food was salty and mediocre. Drinks took FOREVER and the female bartender was rude, surprising that a new restaurant would risk its reputation by tolerating employees with attitude. Location and decor are good. read more

This place is incredible! Every single element of our dinner was amazing. I had veggie enchiladas with Spanish rice and charro beans. The beans had so much flavor! The rice was excellent and the enchiladas were full of fresh veggies. My husband had a grilled steak with rice and refried beans and loved it. The flour tortillas were among the best I've had. Service was also great. We picked it on a whim and were so happy we did! read more
