Amazing food, incredibly breathtaking views.
Best salsa I ever had! And the tortilla soup, unparalleled!! Highly recommend this restaurant

Sophie the manager went above and beyond!! A family owned restaurant in the heart of Boulder.
It is a must!! And Tessa was great too.

Wow! Would leave 6 stars if I could - this place is fantastic. The skinny margarita is delicious, the free chips and salsa taste homemade and fresh, and the steak is delectable. Our server Ari was very nice and gave great recommendations.
The manager, Lucas, also checked in and made sure we had a great experience.

First time ever going to Rio. Stopped in for a quick margarita and had such a great experience we ended up eating dinner as well as having a few drinks. Our server, Ansel, was amazing with menu knowledge and being super attentive. We will definitely be back to see him!
