Top Notch Margs!!! – Outstanding Margs...without using expensive ingrediants. Anybody can get a great marg with top shelf stuff. The Rio uses Cuevo Gold (an average tequila) and produces the best house marg around...strong and balanced, not too sweet like most bar margs. The Rio has recently added top-shelf tequilas and other marg flavors to the list. The food is average, but the Salsa is great and the Queso del Mar is outstanding!!! Loud and friendly atmosphere with young attractive croud. Forget the dinner wait...hang at t... read more
Joe Crow Margaritas – The margaritas are certainly potent, but good? Any margarita made with Jose Cuervo tequila is substandard at best. Ever notice that Mexcians don't drink Jose Cuervo tequila? The food is very good, however. The Camerones ala Diabla are awesome if you like that dish. The place can be very busy, so if you are worried about good service make sure you tip extra well for the first round - and then continue to tip well. (Hint: this means above 15%). Servers remember good tippers.
check it out – what you can expect here are excellent chips and salsa (order the side of queso to go w/ it...it's good) and excellent steak tacos...they are marinated and very good. i order this every time I go there. yucatan shrimp is another good option. It's pretty hard to screw up beans and rice...there's nothing wrong w/ them. The service is always good and in the summer time head out to the patio...there's a water fountain and the atmosphere is excellent. I personally do like the margaritas....they are not the best in ... read more
Great Atmosphere average mexican food – This place has great atmosphere and great service. The mexican food is catered to Anglo Saxon taste and is not spicy or authentic. They could have done more by asking whether one wanted real Mexican or American Mexican. In any case this is a great place to spend an evening with friends. The only thing spicy was the salsa which was very very good.
DO NOT EAT HERE – Everything about this place besides the Margaritas is place is terrible. The service is rude, slow and inefficient, the food is poor quality and small portions and grossly overpriced.
They have very good margaritas, but also have very good food. It seems that they are packed most of the time with people looking to "see and be seen" but in the off hours it is a comfortable place to get good mexican food.
Good Food - Excellent Bar Scene – The Margaritias here are great! If other reviews say different they area competitor who is trying to throw you off - The food is good mexican - not too tex-mex, Not Denvers' best Mexican but far from the worst - actually quite good (and I am a niative of Solo Colo) - I highly reccommend the Rio!!!
This ain't tex-mex – Had this place simply refrained from their claims of TexMex authenticity, I might have forgiven them for serving such insipid fare, but this place is worse than the usual Col-Mex restaurant. If you're a misplaced Texan hoping to find a local version of Ninfa's, or El Fenix, or Mia's, or even El Chico, keep looking. This place was just awful. The highly regarded Margarita came in an old fashioned champagne glass, and appeared to be made from either Rose's lime juice, rather than fresh, or perhaps lime Koo... read more
shockingly bad margs – I have had a few great margs in my day ( mostly in Santa Fe & Toas) and quite a few decent ones throughout the Denver area. When I heard that the Rio ( Denver) had "great" ones I was excited to try one. I have never been more disapointed. For starters for anyone who enjoys good tequila, you won't find it here. the best tequila they had was Cuervo Gold. You have got to be kidding! Ceurvo is gold because they add coloring to it not because it is aged like most gold tequilas . I like a marg w/a kick but A... read more
