Best Margaritas in town!!! – Althought the Rio's in the college town are better ( suggest Boulder) it is always fun to go grab a margarita after work. They are amazing and very strong ( stronger in the college towns) I highly recommend the quesadillas and the sopapillas. Great place to start the night!
Rio = Worst Margs in Town – WORST MARGARITAS IN TOWN!!!!!! Their "top-shelf" tequila is Jose Cuervo Gold. They should start serving good tequila, but you just cant make a good margaritas with bottom-shelf tequila, and NO restaurant other than the Rio considers Jose Cuervo Gold to be anything but bottom-shelf tequila.
Rio Marg Review – This place has the best margaritas on the planet!!! they are addicting and I have never found any marg to compare with these. Its truly amazing, if you develop a taste for them, nothing else will satisfy!
Long Lines – Although getting a table at the Rio can take upwards of two hours on a weekend evening, the fun atmosphere and great drinks (plus incredible guac) make the wait just a bit more bearable. The seating policy is insane--you stand outside in line to put your name on the list (usually 30-45 minutes) and then you wait in the very smokey and crowded bar for a table. Even if you're planning on just drinks at the bar, you have to wait in line. If some of your party arrives first and is able to put their name on the list,... read more
Margs at the Rio – I used to go to the Rio in Boulder, and hands down they had the strongest margaritas ever! They tasted great and you were cut off at 3, thats how potent they are. Wish I could replicate the recipe, the rumor was that htey were mixed 24 hours prior to serving, allowing a little fermentation to happen.
BEST MARGs EVER!! – Rio Grande has the BEST Margaritas you'll EVER drink!! MUST try them.
Enchiladas! – The enchiladas were the best that i've ever had, the chips and salsa were also great. The cuban style black beans and the rice were so good as well, that i've decided to come back to Denver next summer to eat at Rio Grande again, well that's not the only reason, but its a plus! P.S. I live in Michigan, if that tells you anything about the lengths i'll go to get more of this great food.
Over crowded and Over rated – Yuck.. It took a long time for us to be seated because the place was packed.. The margarita arrived warm, with hardly any ice in it at all and had too much salt. its also very strong on the alcohol which is good if you plan to get drunk, but its not very flavorful and the strong taste dulled my taste buds.. which i guess I wasn't missing much because the green chile was awful and the red chile was totally bland. Both of them were watery. The only thing I liked were the tortillas which were nicel... read more
Fajita Bandita!! – In the quest for an acceptable fajita- beef, chicken or shrimp, I have found my spot. Rio has some of the best fajitas in town. The menu offers many of the standard fare, and trendy people like me go there to chat with the pretty people. I enjoy being great looking and I look even better guzzling a perfect marg, eating a shrimp fajita and smoking a clove cigarette. I love this place. See you there!!!
