- APAmber PleasantDec 18, 20253.0The drinks and appetizers are good, but don’t ever get the tortilla soup. I went this weekend and the soup was awful. It’s canned tomato soup that doesn’t even have herbs or spices added (fresh or dried).
- DBDrew BowkerDec 18, 20255.0The 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.
- T3trustingHim 37Dec 8, 20254.0food was really good, and our server was mostly attentive, but the to-go box fell apart before i got home. waste of money when the food i specifically ordered to take home doesn't make it back to the house
- SHShay HenkelDec 8, 20251.0Well that was disappointing, I ordered the steak tostada it came with a full size deep fried tortilla which was ok. But not the huge handful of lettuce and maybe a table spoon of tomatoes and teaspoon of guacamole and and a teaspoon of cheese, and on the side was a burnt hockey puck size of steak that I had to cut up. wont be back
- MWMick WillitsDec 7, 20254.0One of the best restaurants downtown. It feels like a Greeley staple, "gotta come get a rio marg". Now the margs are ten bucks a shared fajita skillet is 45 bucks. Food prices everywhere are high right now I know but this makes it hard to enjoy. The food is good. The service is excellent. We had an issue with some of our food and the manager came over and made it right. The music feels disconnected sometimes like club EDM stuff or early 2000's pop. They really need more acoustic treatment in the dinning areas to help reduce the ambient noise. But overall it's a great option to go get some good food/margaritas.
