    First time here. There were 5 in our party. Nice decor. It took almost an hour to get our food. Our server was good about refilling our chips but overlooked refilling our water carafes. Food was good. I had the Grilled Chicken Quesadillas and we all shared the Rio Trio Sampler (guacamole, chile con queso, classic green salsa) which were all tasty. Someone at our table had the Grilled Skirt Steak Burrito. I sampled the steak and it was flavorful and the green chili was spicy. I was surprised that they didn’t offer any ground beef options for tacos or burritos. Overall I would have given 5 stars if the wait for our food didn’t take so long.

    My family visited the Rio yesterday and were so happy with our visit. Our drinks were delicious, and each of us enjoyed our meals. My youngest loved the tacos off the kids menu while my oldest loved the fajitas. I really like the Rio salad and the green chili soup. We enjoyed it all so much that we ordered the churros which were yummy! The atmosphere was fun and our server was friendly and attentive. Thanks! We'll definitely be back.

    We went with two other families after our kids’ games, and the service was extremely slow. It took an hour just to place our order and another 40 minutes to get our food. The chips and salsa were served in very small portions, barely enough for one person, and we constantly had to wait or hope our waiter would come by for refills. The water glasses were tiny, and even with pitchers, they weren’t refilled for nearly an hour. We live two hours away and were really disappointed with the overall experience.
