We walked in about 930p and they had no problem making whatever we wanted, and we were starving! Nice selection of Hispanic and Italian to make your belly happy. My Lomo saltado was great and my friend nearly finished his massive chicken burrito.

“Everything ❤️❤️excellent choice for celebrate birthday ,en lot time whit friends,coattails are delicious and food espectacular !!“

“It’s a nice alternative to Chipotle and Taco Bell. Definitely more flavor than Taco Bell, but not as varied in taste as Chipotle. I like it because QDOBA focuses on the savory more traditional tasting Tex-Mex Taco. And prices are reasonable. The staff here is very friendly and they seem to be more vested in the success of the restaurant and satisfaction of the customers more than the other chains. The one in Norwalk CT is actually very clean.“

“We love coming to Rio Border Mexican Restaurant. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing although I noticed that the portions have gotten alot smaller. I will say this...they do make an awesome Margherita!“

“So good. The ingredients are always fresh, and they have so many different options. The service is always super friendly, and they really value their customers. I've been going there everyday for the past two months, as it's the only thing I look forward to eating in my otherwise boring diet.“
