Ate here about five years ago. I was in the area today and decided to stop in. Wow how this place has gone to shit. Waited for ten minutes to be seated at a moderately slow time of the day. We were severed chips and salsa and the salsa tasted like straight chile powder. Disgusting. When I was looking over the menu I noticed no street tacos. No big deal I'll get the next best thing. It was a dish called tacos loco. What a disgrace to Mexican culture. The dish says it is served with salsa verde, peco de gallo onions cilantro rice and beans. Most of the items out of the description were missing. When I noticed this I waited 20 minutes on the server to come back around to get it. Too bad you can't leave a 0 star review because the food and service sucks. Don't eat here I bet the McDonald's is better than this. PS:to this day I'm still sitting in the booth waiting for my check.

Worst restaurant I have ever been to. Charged 10 bucks over menu price. When I asked about it the manager/Owner said there are better places to go. Probably the most arrogant person I have ever had a conversation with.

Would give this place a zero star but that is not an option. Absolute WORST owner/manager of a restaurant I have ever had a conversation with. The waitress was good but the owner/manager was absolutely awful. Do not eat here. Worst restaurant I have ever been to when it comes to customer service. I repeat go to another restaurant. They will charge you whatever they want.

The food is okay, but not great. I ordered the Papa Rio which has a picture of steak and shrimp next to it with with a price of $10.99. Check the picture, I took. When the check arrived there was something for $19.99 listed. When I checked menu there wasn’t one thing listed at 19.99. So I asked the waitress (who was very nice - braces and a big smile) what the charge was for she made a face of embarrassment and said, “the steak and shrimp, it’s a different price now.” I said well you never mentioned the change. She said do you want to speak to the manager and I said yes. I asked the male manager how he could charge me $19.99 when the Papa Rio is $10.99. He said what I got was the steak and shrimp on another page. When I told him I point at the picture next to the Papa Rio he said that the pictures are at random and are not always associated with what is next to them. I asked him to show me what I was given. He points to Steak and Shrimp on another page, with a price tag of $17.99. I said okay well you still charged me more that that. At no point did he say apologize or attempt to give me the $2 price difference. Instead he said “was the food good? Bc that is what matters,” when I asked again about the difference in price he said things are expensive. I would not recommend this place to a soul. If you check out my profile I have hundreds of reviews around the world. Over 25 million views on my food images. He was single handedly the worst manager I have ever experienced on my foodie journey around this world. What he did is illegal. I suggest you verify prices before ordering their salty food or better yet don’t bother visiting his establishment.

Great Mexican restaurant in Helena. The food and margaritas are awesome! It was a great surprise and so glad we found it! Salsa and chips are great and the guacamole was yumy. Service was very good as well. Highly recommend El Rio Lindo.

Very kind wait staff even though we arrived a half hour before closing. No rush and very attentive. Worth a visit.
