El Rio Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Good food, complimentary chips ans salsa. Plain decor, but clean. Good option in the area.

Honestly blown away. Everything was so great! The salsa, the guacamole, watermelon margarita and carne asada burrito with queso and the red sauce! Don’t forget the red sauce because it’s amazing!! Everything was SO fresh!!! I have never left a review in my LIFE but I knew I had to leave one for this restaurant. I will definitely be back!!

Excellent food. We got the special - seafood chimichanga. However, 20 bucks per person for a small town mexican restaurant is a bit expensive.

Eggs were high but… not their fault!

Great food

Are lunch with the team from work on Thursday here. 4 of the 6 of us had the Chillaquillas ( I am certain that I spelled this wrong) with Steak and topped with three eggs over easy on top and it was amazing! 🤤
The queso and chips were very tasty too
Walked away stuffed.

Parking: Park on the street right in front of restaurant.

On Sunday weekend I went to buy tamales, they didn't have them but they very kindly offered me very good carnitas and I also asked for warm tortillas to which the very kind young man responded that if they could heat them there 10 out of 10 very good service...

We had a great server...Yetzi... I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling. But we really enjoyed her and she really took great care of us. The goat tacos were soooo good, I'm craving them! It's definitely a must try if you are in the area. The margaritas were the best I've had in a very long time. Everything was great.

Kid-friendliness: We have a 2 year old. Usually the high chairs are sticky and gross. They had theirs clean and ready to go. We really loved this place.
