Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant

This place is fantastic. The atmosphere is so relaxed it melts away the outside world’s noise. Our server Meshal was great, super friendly, attentive, and had a chill energy that made the night. He even asked the manager Julio to stop by our table, a nice touch you don’t see often. Julio was awesome too, genuine, and clearly sets a great tone for the team. The food was delicious and hit the spot. It’s a little escape with great service. Can’t wait to come back, big thanks to Meshal and Julio.

I have been going to the Rio for over 35 years. Remember when Lone Tree opened, I was so excited. Have always tried to support the Rio in numerous locations.
Tonight at Lone Tree, again I was dissatisfied with the service. Was completely ignored by the bartenders for like 15 minutes after I finished my first Margarita at the bar, not the first time this has happened. Was not busy to have that kind of service. It is becoming more and more difficult to support this establishment. If the service is good, then the steak is not marinated or tough with grissel. No consistency! Tired of leaving disappointed. My wife gave up on Lone Tree a couple of years ago, but I continued to try and support it. Kinda sad day to have to say good bye to the Rio after all these years. Every restaurant has its life expectancy, think the Rio in Lone Tree has reached the end, soon it will be just a memory.

Was at the Rio in Fort Collins recently and service was outstanding and food great. Walked out completely happy and satisfied. Maybe Lone Tree needs some training from Fort Collins.

Awesome food and drinks at good prices.

We had a celebration dinner at Rio Grande. The food was great, and the staff was friendly, I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed a nice lunch here today. It was our first visit, and we really enjoyed the house made chips, salsa, guacamole, and tortillas. The steak/chicken fajita combo was almost one of the best we’ve had in the area. If they were served hot they would be outstanding. The plating is nice, but it doesn’t retain the heat like most fajita skillets do.

Went in there a few times and got take out. First time was great second was pretty good and third was absolutely horrible. I asked for the smother sauce on the side this last time and this is what I got. No sauce on the side. The burrito isn't even full, it doesn't look good at all and I said no tomato's and they gave me extra tomato's....

Fine location, nice staff and spacious for any size reservation. Upstairs seating offers a little more privacy for work or personal events. Close to several night life spots if out for night on the town. Great food and drinks as always, definitely a spot to check out for your next dinner or occasion!

We had a great weekday lunch this Thursday at Rio Grande in Lone Tree. From the hostess’ greeting at the door to the friendly attention from our server Juan, it was clear that diners are valued guests there.
We had the chicken quesadilla and salad lunch special and the three taco lunch special. The servings were generous, priced right and perfectly portioned for a mid-day meal. No need to bring a takeout container home as we happily finished our meals.
One treat worth mentioning: the $14.50 taco lunch special allows diners to choose their mix between a tasty shishito relleno taco with green salsa, a cilantro lime grilled chicken, a baja fish with Mexican crema or a grilled skirt steak version for an additional $1.
Overall Rio Grande gets lunch right, and judging by the steady traffic of happy shoppers, families and business diners we are among many who enjoy this Park Meadows local gem.
