Very cute restaurant! Nice design and great for photo ops. The menu is very unique, even for San Antonio- there's a fusion kinda of vibe to it, Cuban/Pan Latin. The drinks were delicious, refreshing, and stiff! We came for dinner and our waiter was very attentive.

Elevator=creepy. And the actual basement bar is ridiculously dark! Like seedy strip club dark. Upstairs actual ocho lounge and kitchen was closed before eleven; this was a Wednesday evening. So back we went into the creepy bar, where the bartender was actually quite friendly and offered to make me a bell pepper margarita. Actually.......pretty good! Will be back despite the creepiness of this bar lol

Good place. We have been here a few times, especially before show the Tobin center. We had a salad that was outstanding and some chicken that was just OK. All in all it was a good place. A little bit pricey for the Porsche sizes that she had but we would still recommend it. Try the Tostones!

Ocho is an absolute gem located in a conservatory with stunning views of the San Antonio Riverwalk. The ambiance is beautiful, with blue chairs and hardware that perfectly complement the Cuban vibes. The fresh flowers on each table add a delightful touch, making the dining experience even more special. The service was top-notch, with multiple staff members checking in to ensure I was well taken care of throughout my visit. The cocktails are a unique highlight, especially the Cancer cocktail, which is made with tequila, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño. It's a must-try for fans of spicy drinks. The initial sip is refreshing, with the heat hitting you just as you swallow, all balanced by a salted rim. I started my meal with the PESCADO ZAREANDADO, which features grilled snapper, Romesco con pistachio, herb salad, and charred lemon. It was absolutely divine--flaky, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. Next up were the MADUROS: sweet buttered plantains with lime queso crema and cilantro oil. As a fan of plantains, I couldn't resist, and they did not disappoint. The lime queso crema added a unique dimension to the dish, and everything complemented each other wonderfully. For dessert, I took the churros to go. Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of churros, but these were exceptional. Filled with vanilla cream and accompanied by syrup and chocolate, they were a delightful treat. Overall, Ocho is a fantastic place to dine, and I can't wait to return. The beautiful setting, attentive service, and delicious food make it a must-visit in San Antonio.

The ambiance was nice overlooking the River but the view is best because of the trees and foliage surrounding it. The service was a little slow but the food arrived hot. I did not like the sopas. They tasted like they were cooked in old oil and they were hard to eat. I ordered spinach salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was a little dry but the salad was fine.

On business and looking for some nice Cuban food and boy did we enjoy it! Nice patio sitting, very quiet and cozy. Great service and the food was out of this world! Flavors were on point, and every single dish was a mouth watering experience! On the Riverwalk (kinda), if you enjoy good food, you will absolutely LOVE this place!
