This is my first go-to place for barbacoa. I've lived on several different sides of town, and I always look for Rios. The barbacoa always tastes great, and it's never drenched in grease.

The best barbacoa I’ve ever had!

I used to like going to this one because it's up the street from home, but lately the ĺadys have been forgetting parts of my order and I get to my car and see i don't have something I ordered and have to go back in. Like today it was tamales. I clearly said #2 with a half pd extra. So I ask for my tamales and have to pay for them as well because she said she didn't hear me say my order, and she apparently didn't charge me for what I ordered and the other lady clearly heard what I asked for. Because when I was going back in I told her I didn't get my tamales and she made a look at the other lady like how could you not have given him his tamales. But now ill be going somewhere else for my barbacoa.

We ordered Pozoles and tamales today , and while the pozole was full of flavor, and actually one of the best I have had in a while, the tamales were not anything to brag about. The tamales smelled like they had been over stramed(smoke). They had no flavor, salt, nothing. The filling was everywhere which may explain why the dozen was packaged in 2 different foil wraps and they were extremely greasy. I would not recommend this place for tamales .

This is my go-to spot for barbacoa and cold Big Red.A sweet little family runs it. They're really nice.The barbacoa and tamales always hit the spot.The avocados are always ripe and ready.The chicharones are a perfect snack.They've got some really yummy menudo also!But, make sure to get there early for the menudo'cause people buy it all up quick!
Great service and overall delicious barbacoa! Would def recommend!

Like all the other Rios barbacoa, they are great. All meat or regular, by the pound or the special packages. Chicharrón, avocado, tortillas and salsas. Enjoy.

Usually love this place but I took a bite of my tamale and there was plastic in there! My son is eating the same thing and he doesn't know to spit it out. I also didn't have a mask so they said they could give me one and the lady handed me a mask with a ball of tape on it that had crumbs and hair all over it.
Loved it we’ll be
