Rio Grande in Lincoln, IL, offers a fantastic atmosphere complemented by delicious Mexican cuisine. The ambiance creates a welcoming and vibrant experience, while the menu boasts a variety of flavorful dishes that truly capture the essence of Mexican cuisine. We had the sizzling fajitas, and feliz enchiladas, the flavors were very good and well thought out. The combination of great food and a wonderful atmosphere makes Rio Grande a must-visit spot in Lincoln for a memorable dining experience. Not to mention the pitcher sized sodas. Great idea.

The food is pretty good at a fair price, but many of the servers do not speak English very well. So if you ask for something not specifically listed on the menu, such as a small bowl to put salsa in, or ice for your drink, there is no telling what you might actually get.

I am from out of town but have been able to eat here twice now. Staff has always been friendly. Food is served promptly. I will keep this place on the list for the next time I am in town. Also the volume of beverage and the vessel it is served in entertains me to no end.

We had always made the Rio Grande a stop for lunch when traveling to visit family in St. Louis. When they were no longer at the location just off the highway, we were disappointed. Now that they are in a new location in the old business district in Lincoln, we will definitely drive into town for lunch.The food is always delicious & plentiful. My husband loves the chili rellanos & the chimichanga I had was huge & delicious. Our son even loves our leftovers.Staff was friendly, helpful & attentive enough.We are so glad that the Rio Grande is still open.

I was visiting friends in Lincoln & we decided to go to supper before I left town. Apparently, they frequently patronize Rio Grande. I know why: we were seated immediately, the waiter got us drinks & then took our order. The chips were hot & the salsa cold. We barely got started when our entrees were served. Each of us had something different and everyone gave the food two thumbs up.Muy Bueno ? Gracious Amigos?Vegetarian options: Lots of choices✅Parking: There were plenty of parking spots on the street. However, we were there on a Saturday evening and the other businesses on the block were not open.
