Tex-Mex Border Party!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern San Antonio your guests are transported to enjoy an evening presenting the best of "Both Sides of the Border" at Rio Plaza, nestled in the heart of the riverwalk.

Guests are greeted as they enter by senoritas and Wild West cowboys, hooting and hollering... but beware there is always a gun fight ready to blast into action! They are overwhelmed with festive sights, sounds and aromas known only to Old Mexico & the Wild, Wild West! Guests are invited to enjoy a cool one at one of the many saloons & cantinas, and savor the many culinary delights found throughout the venue. Guests may choose to have their portrait sketched by friendly costumed bandito artists or learn the latest two-step by real dance instructors and two-step your way in to the night listening to the legendary tunes of the Jody Jenkins Country Western Band. Only in the Wild, Wild West will you find Armadillo Races that will surely entertain all guests... the secret is "blowing on their tails"! Guests will be pity patting in time with strumming guitars of Mariachis, while the aroma of food being grilled over an open pit, and a gentle evening breeze greet them in the serene courtyard. Before guests travel on, they will enjoy the stomping and yells of Ballet Folklorico, while they stop by "Margaritaville" for a cool taste of Mexico.


Bar Service

Hosted cantinas and saloons will be set and offering an array of Frozen & Hand-shaken Margarita's, Wine, Domestic & Imported beer, sodas and bottled water.
