El Rio Mexican Restaurant

Update to my previous review. El Rio is now Toronto and under new ownership/management. Phenomenal place with delicious and authentic food! Whether you're passing thru and need something for lunch or if you're a resident and want something delicious for dinner or a date night, Torito's is the place to go!

Probably the best queso in the south. Love this place. The staff is amazing and super friendly. Topped off my delicious meal with one of the best margaritas I've had in a long while. I'll be back to this spot to try the steak too!

Getting the car fixed across the road and walked over to check this place out. It's still in the midst of COVID 19 but - that being said - they did the best they could do to create a welcoming atmosphere. I imagine on a normal afternoon this place would be pretty busy. Bottom line - I ate here two days in a row - both meals were very well prepared and presented. Would definitely come back for both! The Chicken Fajita salad was my favorite of the two! Well worth coming out. Wait staff was friendly, fast and professional. Check it out!

This place is just a little hole in the wall in a strip mall. But the food? Let me say that we have been looking for years for some good Mexico food and I can say we found some great Mexican food. I had a taco salad with shredded beef and my husband had beef enchiladas. They are very reasonably priced. The food was amazing and well worth the 25 minute drive from our house. Definitely will go back everytime we have a chance.

Let me start by saying this is a wonderful little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in a small town, I know it is hard for small businesses to make it but this restaurant exceeds expectations and two out of my three reviews. They receive a thumbs up from me for the quality of food and the authenticity of the dishes they deliver. I have ordered from this establishment around four times trying a multitude of different foods and have come to the conclusion that only one thing really stands out in my mind and area of improvement that would make the restaurant stand out over others in its cultural field. Alas I am talking about the quantity of food, ordering from this Mexican restaurant delivers outstanding taste and delivers authentic experience in flavor. It is just my opinion that the quantity of food is lacking and leaves me hungry after every visit, including the visit that I just had and all my other visits. Their entrées hit me as appetizers and not main courses, if you really want to be full and have a hearty tummy feeling you will half to order around 2 to 3 entrées. I assume I will be coming back to this establishment for their superb rice and beans which far surpass any other restaurant. Maybe one day we will see a quantity match the quality.

Unique and relaxed atmosphere. Our server was courteous, and able to answer our questions about the menu.The Margarita as were excelente! The menu had a lot of great options. We will definitely be going back

This place is a hole in the wall but the food was good and the server was very nice. We had tacos and tamales.We also had queso and some beer. Food was hot and beer was cold.

Love the food the place and the entertainment on Saturday nights. Live in the area and frequently go and it's always delish !!

Food was hot and delicious! Didn't take long at all! Everyone was nice! Definitely a place I would come back too!! And it's close to my house. Awesome

Queso is on point, quesadillas are great, and the sweet tea is actually sweet. We love coming here! The food is always good and the service is always friendly. Yes, it still has a lot of furniture and decor of what used to be "Ole Hickory Cafe" but don't let that confuse you--it's a great small town Mexican restaurant.
