Villa Rica San Antonio

Truly authentic Mexican seafood with great ambiance and service. The dishes were delicious and delicately prepared, nothing like you have ever tasted elsewhere in town. We especially enjoyed the crispy crab accompanied with fried sweet plantains and beans with fresh cheese. The ceviche (fresh fish marinated in lime juice, cilantro, green onions, and herbs) was outstanding! The fish was so FRESH that it seemed to melt in our mouth!!! We have been there three times already. The restaurant is behind the Blue Star Complex, with a nice view of the River Walk. You would never know it is there unless you are looking for it.

Villa Rica is one of the best and unique seafood experiences in San Antonio. The menu is perfect for ordering a two course meal or a sharing several appetizers and small plates. The crevice options are range from tradional to innovative but are all absolutely delicious! Highly recommend you try their craft cocktails if that's you're thing.

Villa Rica is perfect for a romantic, riverside date. Location couldn't be better at the Flats of Big Tex right on the water lending itself perfectly to a stroll along the water after a satisfying meal . VR proves to be my favorite out of the other Hernandez restaurants ( La Gloria and Burgerteca ) with traditional seafood dishes served with a slight spin to make it interesting but keep the best of what make it classic . The "classic ceviche" was good enough to keep me coming back again, but the salmon taco was light but filling . Customer service was superior and the whole experience was awesome .

Delicious! This is a unique style to seafood I've never experienced anywhere else. Not to mention the decor is fabulous! From fish empanadas to their delicious cocktail selection you won't be disappointed! The staff is so friendly and checked on us frequently and did a great job explaining the menu items!
