No, way Jose! – You'd think with something this busy and with the reviews I read before I went, at least the restaurant would rank up there in some category -- well, I'm trying to think, which one? It was a normal, crowded Friday night, and we had 8 people. Called ahead, no prob. Seated after everyone got there, no prob. That's where the fun ended. High prices for substandard food. Margaritas (whether or not it's true about the pure grain alcohol) were mediocre, and the wait staff acted as if they didn't care because the joi... read more
3 limit margaritas for a reason!! – Being a seasoned drinker, my friend and I decided to get dinner and drinks. We decided we would show them 3 drink minimum!!! After eating a huge dinner and drinking margaritas with dinner, we walked out of there hammered!!! It was so awesome. We ate drank and defineately got out fill for around 50 bucks. Totally lively restaurant and lots of fun. Not a quiet atmosphere if that is what you are looking for.
Food takes a backseat to the potent margaritas and the crowd that loves them. – In Short This wildly popular place usually has a line of people waiting for a table or patio spot. Luckily it's ok to order appetizers and margaritas at the bar and check out the social scene during the wait. The restaurant is all about margaritas: Big or small, frozen or on the rocks. They're deceptively potent; so there's a three-margarita limit. For dining, fajitas hit the table sizzling and queso dip is good to the last drop.
User review by jmmo – Rio Grande is a great place to go for margaritas and a lively atmosphere. Unfortunately, what comes along with the lively atmosphere are lines to get in and a very loud restaurant. If you're in the right mood, Rio Grande is a great place to go for delicious margaritas and chips with queso.
Great lunch place – Rio is one of my favorite lunch places! Good food and good margs. Great for group work lunches!
Been to better places for mexican food – We recently went here and overall would not recomend this restaurant. The service was great and the ambience was very "mexican" but the food was awful and way overpriced. They had excellent margaritas but the overall experience was something to be remembered and forgotten. We had six (6) people in our party and three (3) were children and we still walked paying $75.00 with tip and the kids meals were free. Two (2) of us drank one (1) margarita each. If you want to spend a lot of money... read more
I hate this place. – The margaritas and food are very over rated. They cater to a drunk college crowd, so I guess you need to be wasted in order to enjoy it. I know there is always a line to get into this place, but there are so many other good mexican restaurants with great margaritas so unless you are looking to meet someone, I don't recommend this place.
This place is great! – After a wonderful meal and marguaritas (WHEW!) at the one in Ft. Collins awhile back, we were pleased to hear there was one in Denver. We can't judge the lines and smoke, since we have only gone at lunch time. The food has always been excellent, and we've tried something different each time. The queso enchiladas are awesome and a bargain from the lunch menu. Service has been fast and friendly every time. The quacamole is spectacular and the chips and salsa are among the best in Denver. I'll take this f... read more
WORST MARGARITAS EVER at the RIO – The RIO serves white trash maragaritas. The only reason folks like the margs is because the use pure grain alcohol in them to get you so drunk you cannot remember how horrible the marg actually tasted. The RIO will not serve you a top shelf marg. They will not even make you a Patron marg. They have 1 type of marg which they mix in a big bucket with nasty Jose Cuervo tequila.
