My wife wanted to take the kids out for taco Tuesday! Almost decided to stay in, but I'm glad we didn't. Drinks were great, the food was great, and the ambiance was great. Was a very good choice and we will be back!

A favorite place to revisit every time I go to Mystic.
Rio Rapids under the new management is an absolute gem! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and refreshingly honest. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the table-side guacamole is a must-try—fresh, flavorful, and made to perfection right before your eyes.
The lobster dish? Simply out of this world! Every bite was a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity.
I’m already looking forward to sharing this culinary experience with my YouTube audience—it’s that memorable.

I had been to Rio Salado, but never noticed Rio Rapido on the other side of the restaurant towards the bottom. This is way better than the restaurant in my opinion. They have burritos, tacos, and tortas, which are made fresh and ready to go. I recommend the carnitas torta and a lime jarrito. Will definitely be back!

Me and my partner came here (Rio Rapido) for a quick bite to eat and were absolutely blown away! Not only were the flavors absolutely amazing on the adobo chicken torta and the vegan chorizo, we were also stoked to find out the $2 side of house tortilla chips were not a hand full of chips, but a whole bag! They were delicious and went perfectly with their amazing guac. We will absolutely be returning and recommending this to everyone as a 1,000x better alternative to Chipotle and any other fast Mexican food restaurant.

What happened?!?! I will now be the second person to mention this. The portion sizes have gone down DRAMATICALLY. You used to be able to get a huge burrito/ bowl and giant bag of chips for essentially the same price as chipotle but now I’m leaving hungry! Cutting portion sizes is no way to operate a business. If you need to charge slightly more to adjust to the economy, then do that instead. I used to come here regularly and drive 40 mins to do so but unfortunately this will be my last.

What happened? The portions have gotten downsized dramatically for both burritos and the bowl.

So fresh and so good. Ate at the to go spot while Tesla was charging and it is a 10x better version of chipotle. Will be back!
