This has been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time! The salsa is so good, and the steak burrito is incredible. Be sure to ask for it baked so the cheese is all melted on top!

We have eaten here before and that is why we chose to eat here again. We were very disappointed this time with the exceptionally poor service, food was served only slightly warm, and made numerous mistakes with our food orders. A hard pass for us in the future!

The Rio was amazing. As soon as we got in, we were seated at the bar. The staff was attentive, personable, and made us feel at home. We started with a wonderful house salsa, and we got their queso which was to die for. For an entree we got a fajita for 2 with mushrooms. The mushrooms were the best mushrooms I have had, and the tomatoes were grilled to perfection. The Fajita platter for 2 was big enough that we filled up, and had enough to take home to make leftovers, and we aren't particularly light eaters.
I paid surprisingly less than I was expecting for one of the best dining experiences I have had in Greeley. If you enjoy great food and a cozy beautiful atmosphere, definitely give The Rio a try.
