    I love this restaurant for so many reasons. The atmosphere is amazing both inside with a high ceiling in the dining room/bar area as well as on the rooftop. The misters on the rooftop are a life savers. However, my favorite part is the service. I ate there last night with some friends I haven't seen in a while. El was our server on the rooftop. Not only was she super efficient at getting our food and drinks, but she was kind, funny and took the time to talk to us. I really appreciate her and will be back to visit again soon. Thank you, El!

    Food not good, server was overwhelmed and it wasn’t her fault just no one helping, lack of team work. Our plates stayed on our table the whole time no one took anything away, so we sat with dirty dishes on our table. Terrible experience and would never go back.

    First time there and now I know why people rave about it! The service is fantastic, first of all. The food selection is limited and basic Mexican fare, however, the quality, preparation, and taste are incredible! I had the steak fajitas and I don't think I've ever had a better fajita steak...so tender and flavorful. The rice, black beans, and fajita fixings are ok, pretty basic. The tortilla soup was amazing! And the churros with the dulce whip...divine! Pricing is fair!

    Haven’t been to Rio Grande in years. Used to go all the time. Nice to see the fresh remodel since it used to be pretty run down. Strawberry margarita was my favorite. They limit you to three, but the recipe changed. Didn’t even want a second one this time. Barely any strawberry flavor like before. Queso tasted like 7-Eleven nacho cheese. Guacamole was still good, but hard to mess up avocados and spices. Had the shrimp and crab enchiladas. Fair, nothing special. Everyone at the table thought their food was just okay. Pretty disappointing. Service was good. That’s the only reason for 3 stars.
