Red River Cantina - Richmond

First time trying it. Soon as we walked in, we noticed it was very nicely decorated and super cleanKyle was our server and he did an incredible job, in fact the best we have ever hadWife ordered a combo and she liked itI ordered steak chicken and shrimp fajitas and they were delicious, the portion was so good. I had to take half of it home.Definitely coming back soon

I'll start by saying this is my new favorite Tex Mex place. It is so delicious. The charro beans are so flavorful and so is the Mexican rice. I find a lot of places' rice to be bland but not here! The fajitas are tender and taste good, especially with the butter for dipping! The chips and salsas are good, I've had better queso but it's still good. I've had the beef fajitas, crispy beef taco, chicken flauta, and taco "salad". All good!The restaurant itself is so nice and decorated beautifully. The outside space is fun and a great way for people to hang out while waiting or maybe after to hang out with people.The service has been friendly and pretty standard every time, except this last time. I was there for a large get together, about twenty or so people. There were two waitresses for us all and I can understand that maybe catering so many is stressful but the girl was really rude and annoyed right off the bat while we were being kind and patient with her. So we didn't appreciate that. That was the rudest waitress I've ever experienced anywhere. But I still love this place and I'll just hope to never have her again. Still recommend!

Sandy has always taken care of us at the bar. She is the best of the best. She knows how the make a bad day turn into a joy with her outgoing personality. We have not had a bad experience and are proud regulars.

Stopped in for our first time since they opened. We sat at the bar and we were greeted quickly by Sandy. She is very knowledgeable about tequila and i ordered the create your margarita and my wife ordered the patron margarita. Both were delicious and chips and green and red salsa were delicious. We ordered beef fajita nachos which were delicious. The ambiance was a local neighborhood drinking cantina. The food and service were excellent and we will definitely be back. Great spot to watch sporting events at the bar too.

If I could put a zero I would. The food looked ok, I would dare say it looked pretty good. The food lacked flavor. Let me restate that, the food had no flavor or taste. The only thing that had flavor was the cheese. I would have been better going to Wendy's fast food restaurantacross the street. If you like your Tex-Mex to have flavor, don't go here.

I'd like to give this place a solid 4. But there's some minor end-to-end customer experiences that need to be addressed. Went for lunch same day as Super Bowl so bar area is packed. However, family seating was nice and quiet due to everyone want to pack in for the game. Experience 1) Short hostess when asked about outside seating said they weren't seating anyone outside today. Cool, I repeated what she said and then she murmured to hr counterpart right in front of my face: "What did he not hear what I just said?". I realize it's hard to comprehend that my kids would like to enjoy your recreational area but you would not like to over exert the wait staff (eye roll). But try your best to smile and maybe drop a few pounds. You are the first representation of the business. Great first impression (slow clap). A reason why would've been a good response vs RBF.Experience 2) We have a solid waitress. To the point, thought things ahead. She was probably busy and could've checked on us a little bit more but a a solid job. She made sure to check the detail of our order and caught the short order cook's mistake. Experience 3) Outcome of the food. Tacos Al Cabon , and Bacon Wrapped grilled shrimp. Nicely done. Pricey for a weekend for beef version but it is what it is. Kids cheese burgers though came back unfortunately burnt after they tried to add cheese to it from the first time. The better approach would've just been to nuke the slice on the bread instead of try to refire the whole bun onto the burger. The meat wasn't burnt. But I suspect it's a training thing. Experience 4) Exit 2nd co-hostess and waiter nice solid thank you and good byes definitely making up for the low energy semi negative impression from the first hostess. As others have given this place a fairly bad review; just keep in mind the collective experience vs a piece. A little more training and tuning could easily take this place to the next level. I think even on this place's worst day- it's still better than Pablo's. (Seriously, what is with people in this zip code over that place? Place is just as expensive with worse staff and the food sucks. Get your alcohol fix elsewhere)

The food was great and the service and atmosphere were exceptional! Mallory was very professional and courteous. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

My family and I had a great experience and enjoyed some delicious food. Marissa took really good care of us, was attentive, and made our time together even more enjoyable. Excellent service!!! Highly recommend!
