What has happened to this place? There was no one there on a Wednesday night, the one server looked completely disinterested in his work, and it was just not the same atmosphere as before. I don't think I'll be returning, Sorry.

Rio Balsas Taqueria is a great spot. The food was fresh and flavorful, the tacos were especially good, and the service was friendly and quick. It has a relaxed, comfortable vibe, and I'm glad sto pped in. Definitelya place I'd come back to.

Everything about this restaurant is excellent! The food is always perfect, staff is always incredibly friendly, and it’s never too busy. The live music on the patio is also great!
