Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant

Margs kick butt, food is good, service is .... variable

by theflightline

Been a fan for a LONG time, finally made myself ok with the fact that the service is inconsistent. Management is SINCERE and goes above and beyond when a bonehead server "ruins" the night. They really CAN'T ruin it...the food works, the margs rock.

I have spent literally thousands of dollars in this place with friends, family, and business associates in the last few years.

Be assertive, you'll get what you pay for. Come often enough to "adopt" a server, and tip well. It's worth it!

• Pros: Margs kick butt, usually not a long wait
• Cons: Mostly college staff, not consistent

Treat it like a bar

by coffeehouseloser

Make no mistakes, this is a bar with a full dining room. Take your business meetings here or tie one on after a rough day at court (right across the street) but come with the intent of drinking. Margaritas are reportedly spiked with Everclear, which explains the 2 Marg limit.

I have gone here for years because their margaritas are the best in town. There food I find to be to pricy for what you get and it really doesn't taste all that great ether.I prefer the outside dinning area on summer nights.

• Pros: Margaritas
• Cons: Crowded, Expensive, Staff

Go for the margs!

The Rio has average food at an above average price. If you want great Mexican food go elsewhere. However, if you want fantastic margaritas, this is your place. Cozy up to the bar tables with 10 of your closest friends, order appetizers and margaritas all around and you have the start of a great evening.

• Pros: margarita1, margarita2, margarita3
• Cons: , price
