El Rio Mexican Restaurant

We should have known that we were in trouble when there was only one other table seated in the entire restaurant, but it had been a long day and we really wanted some Mexican food. Everyone knows that the true test of a Mexican restaurant is how good or bad the salsa is. Well, the chips were great but the salsa tasted like a can of tomato sauce. For my entree, I ordered a "chargrilled" skirt steak but instead got a tough thick sirloin with no flavor. The rice didn't have much flavor and they didn't serve homemade tortillas. There was a puddle of grease (I'm guessing) in the middle of the plate.... Nothing about the meal was appealing, and I don't think I would ever go back. Not good at all!!!

Average tex-mex for the area. Short wait times to be seated and service is relatively quick which is nice. None of the food we got was so good that it would be something we had to come back and have again but it was good enough to fill out bellies for the night and not leave completely disappointed.

This is a place my friend (Bill) and I frequent often. The greeting is always by the owners and they are very friendly and positive. The waitstaff is super and if we can get Maria (on the left side as you enter) you will be pleased. Right side dining is also good but a little cooler over there. Just temp ... not staff Great selection and good prices. The food is excellent also and we always prefer the lunch menu "special" dinner as it is all you need to satisfy your Mexican food craving.

I have been looking for a really good Mexican restaurant since moving here a year and a half ago. Today it happened. Looks like a small joint from the outside...but large and clean on the inside.Service was great. My carne guisada was incredibly tender and flavorful. Chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. My wife loved her beef enchiladas. Price and quantity of food was spot on. Best Mexican food since moving back to Texas.

This place is great had the hard tacos and my guy had the cheese enchilada. And it comes with chips and to drink we both had Pepsi. The service was great. But the only mis understanding was the free refills. We thought the only drinks they had were the drinks In the bottles. Then we asked again and they do give free refills for Pepsi stuff. I would come back.

Food is consistently hot and fresh. Very friendly people and they do their best to give quick service.

This restaurant is amazing, the owners and staff are so welcoming and really put a lot of love in what they do!!! Every time I come here the food is amazing and the service is above and beyond!!! I recommend this to everyone I talk to, I know there are other great places to eat in the area but this one hands down is my favorite!!!!

The service is incredible. The minute you walk in the door you are seated by the Manager. The second visit my waiter remembered exactly how I liked my food prepared. Prices are great. Service is excellent. Food is delicious.

Owners are always so kind to my family, the food is literally always amazing, I've not had a bad meal from here ever, and the atmosphere is beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Warm greeting Excellent waitstaff very accommodating Will return soon- Love the enchiladas and great bar
