I have always loved eating at this restaurant and often get take out on busy nights. Tonight had my first bad experience. Do not order the Hibachi chicken. I should know better than to order hibachi at a Mexican place. It was a soupy mess in a sweet sauce on a bed of beans. Even the chips are stale. Sorry, Rio. You struck out.

Ive been going here for 14 years, and the food and service has remained the best in Oak Ridge. They remember my birthday and give me dessert! Shouldve gotten a michelin star or two by now…

Been going here for over 20 years. Absolutely love every one there. Pepe the owner is like family, not only to my family but all those in Oak Ridge. Going to the bar? Must meet Ariel... Best bartender (and prettiest) out there. Daniel and Antonio great managers. Marko, Carmine.... All servers are just wonderful
