    My buddy and I stopped by the Rio this past Sunday for a little 'Sunday Funday' early happy hour drinking. The bartenders were so great and attentive. The skinny margs were the BUSINESS. I usually also get the steak quesadillas or the shrimp empanadas because they are always delicious! (Skipped the food this time because we had brunch before we came in). Just can't say enough of how great the atmosphere and service is at the Rio. Management came by and checked on us to ensure we were having a good experience even as the place started to get packed out. First class!

    Sunday early afternoon on the rooftop was a nice experience. Not too busy and two of us were seated right away and our waiter was quick and attentive. We started with a couple of tasty Big Tex Margaritas made with Cuervo tradicional silver, orange liqueur, fresh squeezed citrus. Lunch included fresh guacamole with crispy warm chips, baked Chile Rellenos, carnitas tacos with a side of rice and black beans. The Rellenos were topped with spicy green chili sauce and were delicious. The tacos were a bit dry but better with picante sauce. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we’ll be back.

    First of all, this place is incredible on all levels. From service to food, it was all top tier! Charisse is SO sweet and gets the vibe immediately. Duncan was prompt and so friendly too. If you skip out on this place, you’re missing out! As someone from the south, this place does not lack in flavor or good times.

    Have been coming to the Rio for at least 15 years. Would always have one margarita and they were strong enough that one was enough. Came back today and had three (three is their “limit”) and every drink was virtually water. Even my husband tried it and said there’s almost nothing in this. Margaritas are very expensive here and I will no longer be returning after this obvious deception, despite coming for years for the great drinks and salsa. At least be transparent if you are going to just feed us drink mix and ice cubes. Thanks!
