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.
