Fast a efficient service. We just got crunchy tacos, but we were very pleased! They remembered to leave the tomatoes off and to put the meat, cheese, and lettuce in, which is more than I can say for Taco Bell most of the time! I don't see any reason to go back to Taco Bell!

They don’t treat there employees good they treat them like slaves. They way they talk to there staff is unbelievable.

Much thanks and gratitude to Taco Rio. They quickly prepared a large Taco dinner for our Lake City family who was impacted by Tornados this week. We made a quick stop at the hospital for another Tornado warning and the food was still warm when they got there. We love supporting local and Christian’s businesses and we are grateful for their help keeping our family fed! Lots of happy hungry faces when we delivered the meal. Thank you Taco Rio!

My husband picked up a taco salad for me there on March 29. I've been patronizing this establishment since they opened. I was 18. I'm 65 now. The salad i received had no dressing on it, the meat looked and had the consistency as though it had been cooked yesterday and had no flavor whatsoever. I called and explained this to them. They did say they would give me another salad but why would I want one that's going to taste exactly like this one? Makes no sense. I told the manager I thought the honorable thing to do would be to reimburse my money. But apparently she didn't see it that way. I paid $13.00 for a salad that was worth .50¢. I told her I don't call and complain and I don't but this is so bad I had to call. I told her I called because I didn't want to put this on their reviews but since they refused to reimburse me for the salad that I was going to put a review on my experience. She asked me why? I told her because I felt I should have gotten my money back given I could have gotten one for the same price at El Acapulco but I chose Taco Rio. I did tell her my family will no longer patronize the establishment and she hung up on me so if I could give my experience a -0, I would. When you get take out, check your food before you leave. This has never happened before so I can only assume management has changed but the quality is horrible. So, I'm putting $13.00 in the trash. Very poor management.

Cashier was rude. Food had no flavor. Some of the beef in my taco salad and my old man's tacos was so hard you may as well have been chewing on rocks. However the dressing for the salad was delicious.

I have never complained online about a restaurant or service! I have always liked Taco Rio in Paragould. It is a shame after years of great service and wonderful food since 1972 it has fallen to terrible service, expensive food that is cold and such small amounts. After about 9 phone calls with a busy signal. My husband drove to taco Rio and ordered our food to go. Very few people were in the restaurant. So they weren’t busy. The phone must have been off the hook! He reminded when he ordered our meals that we wanted chip & dip. He came home with no chip & dip. Very expensive and the order not correct. We drove back to get our chip & dip! The person a woman that waited on me was not friendly at all about not getting our order right. I wish I knew who the management is. I would gladly tell them their business will fail unless they provide better food, service and a friendlier staff. Also I worked at this Taco Rio years ago when Bonnie & Kemper Kissee owned and operated it. What a disappointment. Thank you whoever may read my post. I’m normally very calm and never complain. This needed to be acknowledged.
Really has been a great place in Paragould since 1972. The issue is, it is quick serve Tex Mex that costs a fortune. The staff has zero interest in making sure you have a pleasant experience, especially considering how much you just paid. We miss the good ole days.

The food is awful. Taste like it came out of a can. I got the taco plate that came with refried beans, salad and cheese dip. Everything on the plate was cold, including the refried beans and the taco meat. The cheese dip was cold. I can’t confirm this, but I believe they’re making cheese dip from Campbell’s cheese soup. Apparently the people who loved this place have no idea what real Mexican food taste like. This is not even TexMex!
