Police said the men were caught on tape trying to pay for sex from an undercover police officer.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the sting was a medium-sized operation aimed at sending a message that prostitution won't be tolerated.
"It does victimize the prostitute themselves, there is a lot of collateral crime related to prostitution," McManus said. "So if there's anyone who says this is a victimless crime, they're misinformed."
McManus said more arrests are expected.
The men who were arrested were charged with soliciting prostitution, but the charges could be upgraded.
