Del Rio Bordertown Cafe

Waiters and waitresses need to be retrained and need to know the meaning of customer service. We waited 50 minutes to even get our order taken 5 tables had their orders taken and was served and ate and left before we were asked our drink order. So we decided to leave and went to a fast food

This was the 2nd time I had been there. The first time was during the weekday and the food was spot on, but our waitress seemed antsy to get us out. My friends and I were given our tickets before we were done ordering and she seemed put out that we stayed for a while. The second time we had a waitress and a trainee and they were great, however! I love the chips and salsa and had street tacos both times that were amazing as well. The drinks were also delicious. It's a cute, very well decorated place that I will enjoy making a regular stop of mine!

Their's good quality Mexican Food.The service is amazing.If you're Vegetarian there's options to eat as well.The Ambiance is very good and the lighting is cool and not bothersome to eyes and sensitivity to light.

awesome host and service was wonderful! Food is great! my mother has a gluten intolerance and they had several dishes she could eat and for the first time she could eat chips and salsa like the rest of us. this means a lot. we will definitely eat more here! Thank you Del Rio! Great job!

Like most sit down Mexican restaurants. A couple of small things make it excellent. The staff is great. The service is fast. Was able to eat and leave in less than 30 minutes both times that I have been there.The food is just a touch better than what I would consider typical. Not sure how except the chef pays attention to details. Can't describe it really. It is just better.

Just called to make a to go order but they do not take payment over the phone or curbside pick up during the pandemic. I would've Thought that they would have figure out what to do in these times.

There is nothing wrong with Del Rio, but there is something you need to know if you come here: It is not Mexican food. If you come here with the expectation that you will get authentic Mexican cuisine, you will leave disappointed. If you understand that Del Rio is actually a Tex Mex restaurant, your experience changes dramatically (and to the good).I've been to Del Rio countless times. Food has always been decent; I've never had a bad meal here. Salsa tastes fine, guacamole tastes fine. The queso, although more like a cheesy spinach dip, tastes fine. However, nothing really knocks your socks off. They have your typical Mexican restaurant fare (but remember, Tex Mex-style), but there is also a lot of cafe items like burgers, wraps, country fried steak.(The fact there is a country fried steak item on a "Mexican" restaurant menu should tell you something if you're still on the Mexican vs. Tex Mex fence.)My large party ate here last night, and the service was expedited rather well. I believe everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the chicken fajitas, and the chicken was cooked nicely. It wasn't an overabundance of food, which I appreciate because I do not like getting more than I would ever eat. My husband got the carnitas burrito, which he said was fine although he liked every other carnitas plate he's ever eaten better than Del Rio's version. They do put a nice scoop of spoon bread as a garnish on every plate, and that seems to be a favorite - at least at my table it was. Anyone who didn't want their spoon bread, someone else was more than willing to take it.Is it fair to compare Del Rio to other Mexican restaurants in town? Probably not. As a Mexican restaurant, it will never match up to the authentic food provided by Festival (our personal fave) or even Mi Torito in the teeny tiny neighboring town of Galena, Kansas. But as a Tex-Mex restaurant, Del Rio does just fine.We will be back, as we always come back, and we will enjoy what we eat, as we always do.

Never disappointed when we go here. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. I always get shrimp fajitas and my husband loves the seafood enchiladas.

Politely asked the hostess for a booth rather than a table, and her face clouded with anger. She muttered she'd have to clean the booths, stomped off to do so, cleaned them, them stomped back past us without letting us know we could sit. Then the waiter had some sort of act where he was the smart alec who didn't take no guff from any customer. "Jokingly" complained when our party asked him for stuff. Negative energy the whole meal from him. I am sure everybody was having a bad day, but i wouldn't go back here on a bet.

See update below! Normally, we love this restaurant and we have never had any issues. Tonight, my parents came into town to visit over the holidays and we decided to order take out. The server that helped us was fast and friendly, The two taco salads my parents ordered were good. The chimichanga that I ordered was not good. It was extremely small, It was like they gave me half a chimichanga and it was not as good as usually. This was really disappointing since it has been one of my favorites. I'm not sure if we'll be back. I don't like the idea of paying full price for half a meal. Update: The owner got in touch with me and was very apologetic and asked for our business again. He offered to send a gift certificate to make it right. We will gladly give them another try. This is how a business should treat their customers. If you like Tex-Mex give them a try!
