Rio Salado Reviews
I've only been here a few times, but I can confidently say that the staff is always extremely welcoming, friendly, warm, and pleasant. I've never had a bad time or inconvenience there. There are decent options for food and drinks... I have yet to try something I don't like. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and comfortable. I definitely recommend giving this place a chance if you haven't yet! The Staff and Owner make sure that everyone present is happy, safe, and satisfied. 🙌
Oh my goodness, was here the past weekend! Everything was perfect! The Quesadilla was so good! Probably my favorite there now! The Enchiladas were amazing and the chips and salsa too! The portions can be big so you may have to bring some home!
Strawberry Margarita was yummy! The food was so filling and I ate very well!
Staff was wonderful and very friendly! I can’t wait to come back again! Everything was excellent! 🩷🩷🩷❤️❤️❤️

Rio Salado is an upscale yet friendly restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and delicious Mexican food. They offer both vegetarian options and a kid-friendly menu. The restaurant serves dishes with portobello mushrooms as a "meat" option and all-vegetable options. For dessert, there are churros filled with a delicious caramel, a tres leches cake, and a unique Nutella flan, with the churros being a standout favorite. Customers praise the outstanding food, super-friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its flavorful and well-seasoned house salsa, Baja Style Lobster, and delicious churros. Diners also enjoy the restaurant's white sangria and say the churrizo burrito is the best they've ever had, even down in Texas. While some find the rice & beans a bit bland and wish for more seasoning, many still plan to return because of the excellent food and attentive service. The cocktail menu is praised, with favorites including the tequila selection and tableside guacamole. The ambiance is inviting, with ample parking and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The restaurant is considered a top spot for both romantic dates and happy hour with friends.
