Everyone here was observing a great covid safety. Place was not at all crowded and we could easily maintain more than a 6 ft distance from other parties. Masks were worn and hand sanitizer was readily available. one of the safest experiences I felt being out and about. The village was already decorated for Christmas and was a nice peaceful retreat and walk around. I loved looking in the stores, window shopping and even found some great masks to purchase.

Went exploring on a Monday morning in San Antonio. First place I found was La Villita. It was unfortunately closed but I ran in to the Owner of the Cafe Barry and his sidekick Yolanda. They were extremely helpful and kind. After telling him I was on an anniversary trip he made me a delish Mamosa && gifted me Scentchip wax chips that smell AMAZING. In the past (2 years ago) I had shopped here and ate brisket and scrabble egg tacos. Although Im bummed I didnt get to shop/ eat here it was nice to have 2 friendly faces point me in the direction of food. Thank you both for the help. Yall are the bomb.com

My daughter selected your restaurant to celebrate an early birthday. So my two granddaughters, myself and my baby grandson went down there for breakfast. We all ordered our breakfast however one of my granddaughters never got her order. We had to reorder hers and of course she was a little bit disappointed that we had to start to eat without her. Because by time you had a long line ordering. The waitress said she was sorry but that they would get it out quickly. We however did check the receipt and it was never put on there so, I did have to pay extra. All the food was very good. Only that one disappointment for my granddaughter. If and when we return at a later date, I may have them double-check before we pay our bill. The wait staff was courteous and attentive. I just felt very bad for my granddaughter.

Angelita store is amazingly beautiful, so nice stuff there & the owner is so attentive & helpful, Ill definitely go again! 100% recommend it!

Beautiful, historic area in San Antonio. A must visit for anyone who is looking to buy a nice gift or souvenir. The shops are at street level and easily accessible. Parking is a little difficult because there aren’t many meters available. La Villita is also accessible from the river walk area. The stairs lead to the many little shops and restaurants.

In the summer in non pandemic times this place would get full with lots to see and do. And during fiesta it would get crazy. I always loved coming here on quiet slow days. With easy access to the river walk.

Love this place! The shops are so cute, they sell beautiful art at reasonable prices. There wasnt a lot of people probably due to covid but that actually made it even more enjoyable.

Loved visiting with my family! A great atmosphere with several shops and dining options!

Could have been a great place to visit but not much was open. We planned to eat here one day as it was posted things would be open later in the week, but then they werent. The one restaurant that was open wasnt serving food, only drinks. Only a few shops were open.

An oasis in downtown San Antonio, La Villita is a treasure grove of boutiques full of handcrafted goods, including some made locally there. You can easily spend a day there exploring each store. The cafe is also very reasonably priced and serves great coffee and food. This is a must see if youre in downtown San Antonio.

A really great shooping area with many shoos and historical buildings with plaques giving the history. We had a nice lunch at the cafe as well.

This village is beautiful and the shop and galleries there are wouah. Only 5 min far from the Riverwalk

La Villita was quaint, charming. Its right across from the OBrien Hotel. Good shopping, breakfast and sweets, and we learned a little more about Mexican heritage.

This pace is so cute! Its like a little village with many art galleries and shops. If you are in San Antonio and walk the Riverwalk, make sure you stop by La Villita. Its worth it! I am sure it would be even better to walk around when the sun is set because I saw some bistro lights hanging. It is also very interesting just to walk around, without having to visit the store. Definitely recommended!

Beautiful plaza with little shops and restaurants to enjoy. Always my go to place for special occasions.

Very quite the day we visited. Nice are to walk through and see the shops

Very nice area to come for a nice relaxing walk! Most of the mini attractions were being taken down when we arrived,but still,it was a nice little place to come and relax. There were several little gift shops and the statues set up everywhere were so pretty!

LOVED this️ ALL local San Antonio arts and goods, the atmosphere is super laid back... perfect for strolls and shopping

Great fun shops! Very unique merchandise.

Forgot hours differ in Sundays but still a great place to walk through. Many of the buildings hold historical significance and you get a view of the Riverwalk

Quiet due to Corona, but still had fun. Angelita, was open and she is a darling!

A group of shops that offer beautiful art pieces of all styles plus a awesome cafe to quench your thirst.

Love going for walks lots of shade trees small gift shops and restaurants to enjoy throughout your walk.

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere also.

I loved the theater located in the district, its outdoors and the stage is across the river from the seating. Never seen anything like it before and it felt like I stepped out of America when I was there. The shops are very artsy and great if youre looking for one of a kind pieces rather than more touristy stuff located on the Riverwalk. Theres a convenient cafe and the buildings are cute and have the original owners and history on plaques. Definitely a must visit if you like to shop.

Beautiful place to walk and enjoy an evening. We had the fortune to watch a show and we loved it. My only complaint would be that they should make the bleachers all cement.The little.stores around are very cute and you can find interesting stuff. Very romantic at night.

It was ok... Shops and restaurants... No chains. The buildings are all more or less historic and each had a little tag giving you a brief history of the building.Usual nice landscaping and its right next to the river walk... Not a bad way to spend a little time.

It is a very nice and fun place to come and meet here in San Antonio has many crafts a bit of historical things from Mexico they sell quite a lot of food, they have music live band, the truth if they come to San Antonio, come to know La Villita is very nice very nice people The merchants very attentive the truth is a very nice and very historical place they have a small church and they make weddings in private .very beautiful and very historical I recommend this place is a wonderful place to meet here in San Antonio Texas

Its open Mon-Sat from 10am-6pm and Sunday from 11am-4pm. Walked through the village and there was not much going on on a Sunday but it seems like there is a lot that will be happening soon with Halloween and all of the holidays coming soon. Youll find art galleries, shops, restaurants and cafes here. STROLLER FRIENDLY, except in some of the smaller shops. GOOD PLACE TO EXPOLORE WITH FAMILY. GOOD PLACE TO SHOP FOR GIFTS.

The history of this place is soooo incredible! Lots of boutiques with tons of local art, jewelry, and fun stuff to explore ... great eating spots too ... all of this just right off the River Walk, EXCELLENT spot for a stay-cation adventure!

Cute shops and hidden gems are found at this lil market place in San Antonio

Attended the Coffee Festival 2020 and had a blast! The art pieces were fascinating & I was amazed to see that there were many vendors/roasters. Bought the signature glass coffee mug which are extremely adorable and durable!

We really enjoyed the tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Tour lasts 30 minutes with plenty of time for questions. Check out their films and gift shop. A great nugget!!

Historic and lovely place a must visit and go back in history.

Charming area, lots of arts and crafts. Bought a beautiful art piece from a artist from there. Great place to go and shop

I was visiting during the Day of the Dead weekend, so I probably visited during this villages prime time. Ofrendas were set up to remember lost loved ones, vendors sold cervezas, children and adults wandered about with painted faces and costumes, and giant artistic skulls and sculptures were scattered about. Just a gorgeous space to visit full of local culture and spirit.

This is one of the best locations for festivals right in the heart of downtown San Antonio. Great ambiance and always fun and exciting venue. I was there for the Dia De Los Muertos Festival .

Historic district with markers and shops. Cute and fun.

Great place to walk around with friends and family in the middle of the city. Wasn’t able to go to the shops because many of them close pretty early, but it was a nice view and place to take pictures and explore if you never been. Can be hot in the summer, the area is pretty easy to get familiar with.

Very picturesque. Kind of small and its crowded. Lot of mexican cuisine and shops with crafts, food, chocolates, jewelry, etc. Then you can walk outside and visit all the historic museums and houses. You can spend a whole afternoon in there. Next to a trolley and bus station

Great photoshoot spot. Lots of beautiful backgrounds.

Beautiful scenery and lovely architecture. It is full of culture and there are stores and restaurants all around.

Nice place to visit

What can I say, the whole River Walk is special. Great atmosphere, great restaurants, great people watching!

To me it was mostly junk stores that were over priced. One store was completely copper collectables

It is such a breath of fresh air to come here. I love the shops, the products, the creativity and the entire atmosphere.

Love walking around this place. Quaint shops and buildings right off the gorgeous Riverwalk. This place is perfect for photography, even at night as its lit in just the right way (not bright like elsewhere but still enough to be safe). Food place has good breakfast and its not far from the Tower. Its a nice round walk.

This an awesome place to visit. Some very nice shops to visit. They also have great festivals through out the year. New years is the best and the food during the festivals is amazing.

Fun time hanging around La Villita. Local stores were good and lovely cafe. This river theatre had my heart.

Love going here anytime. Recently went for a Haunted River Parade. Some people were dressed in Halloween costumes and there was a contest. Music played on the stage and theres a seating area across from the stage. La Villita is right above the seating area with some nice little shops.

Just a wonderful place to be. We have come here for several different events and everytime is amazing!

Lot of it open for covid. Near king Williams historical district.

Very neat lil shops!

La Villita is a good size village area just off the River Walk and in downtown San Antonio. It is a grate area for shopping and souvenirs of San Antonio and Texas. The shops in this area are very cool cause they look like small houses turned into shops and galleries. The area also has a lot of history to it. Many of the shops carry local products such as paintings,photos jewelry, pottery and more. La Villita also has great restaurant with good food. I have been here many times with my family growing up and have bought many pieces of art here and ate at nanny of the restaurants. Every time I get a chance to come to San Antonio I always want to come check out La Villita and the River Walk.

This is a very quant art district that is one of the oldest areas in San Antonio. There are lots of small shops and bodegas, a very good cafe, a public bathroom, an amphitheater, and open plazas for festivals and events. Its a nice change of pace from all of the touristy locations along the Riverwalk.

So much to see, to share, to learn about. I walked with my son and my grandson through La Villita and there were so many comments from my grandson about things hed learned in school, some hed gotten confused, so either my son corrected, or I did, and others I knew and both learned about. Some I learned because they knew and I didnt. It was a marvelous experience for this brand new San Antonian.

Beautiful surroundings, weather was perfect when I visited.

We visit every time we are in SA. love the shops and village. I think it’s worth a visit.

Nice artworks and little coffee shops

Very nice, clean, lots to buy, restrooms lots to see

Good place to shop and relax.

A quaint little shopping center nestled in down town. Its full of shops and a little cafe that serves delicious food. A great place to stop for lunch while visiting the convention center for a con.

Been to the Riverwalk several time never notice the place behind walls. Alots of these shops close early. The weather outside wad really high temperature.Stop at an eatting area with daughter. I got watermelon cup and daughter order a sandwich it was delicious. Place to cool down and staff was friendly. Will come again when weather a little cooler.

Really laid back atmosphere and close to rivers edge amphitheater so you get a fresh breeze and music. Then the people dressed as old time soldiers and other figures of history. We enjoyed the chorizo and egg breakfast tacos, dirty chai, and banana caramel French toast (mmmm!!) at the cafe with very nice bathrooms!!

Really nice Agua Fresca and very beautiful structures and artworks.

We went to the San Antonio Coffee Festival. Great music, good food. The only coffee vendor that had decaf on tap was Community Coffee. Because of health problems, my wife and I only drink decaffeinated coffee but we went VIP for the experience and lesser crowds. Community coffee was the only vendor that brewed up a pot of decaf just for us (and GAVE us some bags of decaf go take home). The coffee was smooth, not bitter, and had a great aroma and robust flavor. I highly recommend Community Coffee.

What a great day we had. Love this kind of events.

Neat little village off the Riverwalk. Nice change of pace. Nice little boutique shops. Not my taste for most of the shops, but I enjoyed wandering through them with the wife. We didnt get to try the restaurants. Might have been better if it wasnt near closing and not a Sunday.

We have a wonderful time at La Villita where we enjoy the Dia de Los muertos or Day of the Death celebration which is full of color, the smells of Mexican food and this joyous Mexican tradition that is getting bigger and bigger every year, awesome procession we witnessed.

La Villita Historic Arts Village.This is an old village on the riverside of San Antonio River Walk.I see some old buildings, renovated but made as original as possible. For sure theres some new building as well without losing the original ambient.There are souvenir shops, art shops, and some are handicraft traditional products, well it feels like going to the museum.I bought some nice souvenirs and then looking for food.Finally I saw a restaurant inside a big old building with some old pictures and ornaments hanging on the walls and luckily found my favorite Mexican food there.Well, this place is like an oasis in the center of hustle and bustle San Antonio. You can enjoy your coffee or tea while sitting on the cozy chair.

A must visit area if you are visiting the downtown area of San Antonio. Lots of shops, street level access around the convention center area and river access near the Arneson River Theater. There are signs all over, easy to find. A nice place for pictures, shopping and people watching.

Had a great time with family downtown for the New Year festivities. So much great food and tons of great San Antonians to bring in the new year with.

Love the Villita we went on a Dia de Los Muertos celebration lit!

One of the most unique and historical places in San Antonio.The area is so peaceful when theres no festivals or events and a total blast when there is!!The shops are one of a kind and worth strolling through if time is permissible.Heres a few pics from Muertos Fest!!

I love the food they give you

Love this place...OMG!! A lot to do saw a River Parade in honor of Day of the Dead!!! Saw the Selena statue!!! Always a lot of fun!!!

I loved this artsy historic area. San Antonio never disappoints!

What an amazing place to hang out, learn about this unique city’s folklore and spend a very soothing moment.

I really enjoyed the GO RIO narrated river boat cruise. We had a blast.The boat captain was knowledgeable and engaging and kept us entertained with local history, culture and architecture.Best money we spent in San Antonio so far.P.S. you can purchase a drink to take with you, but there is no restroom til you get back.

Must see in San antonio, support local cafes, boutiq,

A nice surprise in the heart of San Antonio! Visited the day after Christmas and it was clean, bright and very alive! Must visit if you want a quick taste of the city.

Taco festival was so great! We wanted to try more vendors, but we couldnt hang. Garcias food truck with the brisket tacos were my favorite. We saw Bidi Bidi Banda before we left. We had such a blast here today.

Beautifully abundantly rich in creative unique architectural, running right down at the of the river walk!! Very nice

This such a cute little village, have the vibes of native culture.

Some cool, upscale shops are located here. Additionally a good brunch restaurant. Also easy access to the river walk out the back. And dont forget to feed the cats.

We should have stopped by during a busier time. No little stands outside and not much going on. The shops in the buildings were neat to look at. Will have to check back during a busier time.

We visited this location while on a 1.5 hour segway tour, beautiful evening to gain knowledge about history.

Always something going on. Always something to see, eat, or someone to meet.

Fun place, good food better in the evenings if you want music and lots of people

Interesting place to walk through with some really nice crafts and touristy items available. There was some maintenance going on while we were there, but everyone was super polite and seeing the bright works of art around to buy and hang at your house is always fun.

This place has a lot to see in the area. You can eat, shop, watch the Riverwalk boats and even watch live music. People of all ages will find something to do and see. If looking to stay in area for a weekend there is the menger hotel just a short walk away next to Alamo. Lots to do just get out and explore.

Great working studio/art galleries. People were friendly and knowledgeable about the art.

It was beautiful walking down the riverwalk, there was a concert and really nice to sit and just relax

The art galleries have exceptional paintings by local artists inspired by Texas landscapes and beyond! Works in all shapes and sizes. If youre fortunate enough, you can meet the artists, since they work there as well.

Great art shops in little historic buildings!

La Villita was on our list of recommended stops while on our week-long vacation in beautiful San Antonio this month. Its a quaint historic cluster of shops and eateries including La Villita Cafe thats too inviting to walk by. Their menu is great with plenty of choices and the value is outstanding. Try the chicken salad plate, $7.25!, or the Roasted Turkey sandwich on a croissant for about the same. Kudos to Chris, Bri & Raelynn for their exemplary service! Dont miss it!

Very clean! Adorable shops! Unfortunately it was very cold when we went, so we didnt spend as much time as I would have liked. I can imagine its absolutely wonderful in nice weather. Shops were a bit pricey, but really cute.

I love all the different events they host here. The old buildings, right by the water and always run into friendly people!!!

Very pleasant place to walk around, and great for shopping for gifts/souvenirs as long as you know someone who would enjoy something you would expect to find in an Arts Village.Gifts I have picked up here in the past (namely jewelry and glasswork) were very well received.Whenever I visit its on a weekday during the day, so I have yet to deal with any crowds.

One of the most beautiful sights in town. So many restaurants to stop by and have a luxurious dinner overlooking the water. There are boat tours that make for a pleasant adventure. Icecream places along the way for sweet truth. Souvenir stores offer just what tourists are looking for. You can easily spend at least 3 hours here between tours, food and exploration of all the destinations along the way.
