The food was good. I would give it a better review but their salsa that they brought out with the chips was the worst I’ve ever had. Basically seasoned tomato juice with maybe a 5% (by volume) inclusion of vegetables. The main courses we had were both good but very small portions compared to the last few Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. The prices were not small. Service and atmosphere were very nice. I would eat here again but maybe bring my own salsa lmao!

Food was good, Service was terrible. Waitress acted like she just wanted us to get out, like we were a burden. She didn't understand what we were saying and then acted like she was in a hurry when getting our order and bringing it out. I came a year ago and the service and food were great, I don't know what happened. Used to be good

The queso was good and so was the rice. My chicken fajitas were bland and I didn't receive tortillas. I order take out and paid cash but there was an issue. The person didn't have access to the cash register to make change so he had to get cash from the other waitress. I had high hopes after reading the reviews but was disappointed.

Rio Bravo has been a consistent restaurant for Paonia. Pollo a la Mexicana and El Rancho soup are my favorites. Thank you and you are appreciated!

Employees were lame from the greeter to the waitress didn't even get water had to ask for it then the waitresses were sitting down instead of helping the customers with drinks and didn't even come back to see if we needed refills or anything poor customer service for sure and the food tasted like old oil on the chips and tortilla in chicken taco salad and the burrito was bland not happy with our experience and won't be back

Best Mexican food in the town of Paonia. Large portions and the food comes out fast. Delicious Quaso and chips with a super yummy salsa. definitely don't skip on the quaso. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Anything you order will most likely be absolutely Delicious.

Surprised that the food was as good as it was. We had heard that it wasn't great but wanted to try it ourselves. The food was tasty but my burrito didn't have much salad (or onions) on the side as what is stated on menu. Also I thought it was a bit pricey for what we got. My fellow eating friend's all enjoyed their food. The atmosphere is ok, old, nostalgic type Mexican/mountain town feel. We enjoyed the margaritas. The waitress was very sweet. I did hear from another table that they were out of a few things.

The service is kind of slow but the servers are super nice. The food is amazing and makes the wait worth it.
Absolutely disgusting. People are saying it’s authentic, but they use a frozen vegetable mix for Chinese food, I’m talking baby corn and snow peas in teriyaki sauce. And that translucent goo they “smother” the burrito in needs to checked again by the health inspector.

6 of us came in for my birthday dinner. First time for all of us. It was such a fun evening. Meals were delicious, margs were, too. Claudia was a great server. Two of us are gluten free/celiac and there were lots of choices. We had a table in the back room, it was nice back there. Everything was spot on. Thanks for a special birthday celebration. Turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.

Been coming here for years. HAD MY BEST EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT WITH TRAVIS… MAKES THE BEST MARGS! (Claudia is also awesome but I’m usually there at night when she’s not there). 5 Stars for the new homeboy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
