This has been one of my go to spots for great margaritas and food for quite sometime now.
They have the best salsa hands down! I do miss the old location of this restaurant, however it is less crammed now.
The food here has always been consistently good and I can count on it being a great meal.
Their margaritas are to die for, and I enjoy the option of getting a mini margarita as well if I’m not feeling too ambitious for a regular one.
The ambiance is inviting and the atmosphere is nice.
The service has always been great and everyone is pretty friendly and attentive.
Food and drinks were both out to our table in a timely manner.
I always recommend this place to friends and family, definitely one of my favorites in Denver!

Hi Laura, Thanks for the review and kind words! While to old spot was great, we are happy you continue to join us at the Rio and enjoy the new space.
Thanks again for the 5 stars! Hope to see you again soon!

I enjoy their margaritas on the rocks, and I appreciate that you can order a "mini margarita" if you don't want a big one.
Salsa is always good.
I ordered spinach enchiladas, and the plate was so hot when it arrived that the black beans were bubbling and steaming.
(I like hot food).
Atmosphere is pleasant.
Solid choice for "Tex-Mex" food.

Thanks for the review Lisa! Hope to see you again soon!

While the atmosphere and service were good—my food was a major letdown.
I tried three out of their six taco flavors: carnitas, mahi, and steak.
And more so in the steak and carnitas, the meat was dried out, tasted old, and the salsa was baked on (too much time under a heat lamp?).
Everyone else in our group seemed to enjoy their food, and the chips & salsa were a favorite so I'll give them that.
But my $6 tacos were a miss and not worth it.
