Review by Antwan Rolfson

September 16, 2024

Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant is a true gem in Fort Collins! 🌟 The atmosphere feels like a lively cantina, perfect for gathering with friends or family. The Classic Rio Marg is an absolute must - refreshingly crisp with just the right balance of tequila and lime.

The Chile Con Queso stole the show for me, silky with a delightful cheesy flavor! The Sauteed Chicken Enchiladas were tender and flavorful, while the Ahi Lettuce Wraps offered a light, fresh option.

Service was stellar, and the vibe is always upbeat. Can’t wait to return for more delicious eats! 🍹
