The atmosphere was nice on the patio. Drinks were good. The chicken was a little dry though.
We had outside dining, very clean great waitress and chef. Food was excellent, nice hot dishes!
Virtually every restaurant could learn from Rio Bravo. Food is always outstanding and the staff, from the hostess, waitresses, waiters and support staff are the most welcoming and friendly ANYWHERE. Management, you should be commended for all aspects of your restaurant and for the blessed staff you have put together. Our new favorite restaurant.
Ate in the bar and our server forgot to put our order in and we had a movie date.
Everything was excellent the waiter was excellent and the service was excellent and the meal was excellent we always enjoy coming there

As always, food is excellent, plentiful plates, and reasonable. Love the free chips on the table, and free assorted sauce bar. Now they've jalapenos - my favorite!
Our meal came out hot. We both enjoyed our dinners.

The food was excellent! The atmosphere was a bit noisier than I like though. It was Father's Day, so a less busy time would be my next choice. Service was lovely.
The waiter meant well but was clearly not trained. No idea how to ebb and flow with the customer.
Fantastic chicken tacos and guac. Always an absolute pleasure to eat this delicious food.
The shrimp emperano was the absolute best Mexican meal I have had anywhere. The salsa and chips are the best of any place I have been and the portions are great. Fried Ice cream was very generous and delicious. I would rave about this place. The atmosphere is also beautifully Mexican and the staff were so great.

Food was ok American-Mexican. Nothing special. Service was a bit chaotic and over stressed.
The food, drinks and service was great. I really enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere.
our waiter was amazing. We love the atmosphere and the food is delicious every time
The waitstaff were friendly, courteous and did a great job.
Service was good as well as the meal though I have had more tender steak in the past
Clean, big portions, great fresh food, & fast service.
the food was delicious, the service was excellent!
Past experiences have been very positive; this one was not. The food was not as good as usual and the waitress was slow and cold.
Service is always great,We visit my husband likes the carne assada and me the Margaritas.
Atmosphere is pleasant and clean; waitstaff friendly. Had fajitas which portions were plentiful. Wished waitress would stop calling us "amigos", otherwise she was very efficient and friendly. Even surprised us with a birthday dessert and sing-a-long without being asked and at no charge; unexpected and a very nice touch.
Service was friendly and attentive, food came VERY quickly, drinks were delicious.
The salsa use to be made fresh it now tastes like it comes from a jar. If their going to use jarred please use Goya. Disappointing. The food is still just as good. It’s a go to place for my whole family
Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Every thing about it is excellent
The staff was great and very accommodating to my questions and requests, and the food was great, as always.
Our server was awesome really friendly and efficient
Wait staff pleasant, food was delicious, margaritas were wonderful!
The waitress ignored us a couple of times when trying to get here attention
Pablo our waiter was great. Juan who made the Guac was terrific! The food was delicious, served very quickly, hot, yummy, plentiful!
I have dined at Rio Bravo many times, and this was by far the worst meal and service I've ever had at this establishment. While the restaurant wasn't very busy yet well staffed, I waited 15 minutes for a glass of water. The fajitas were tasteless. The salsa bar was almost empty and in the 2 hours that we were there it was never refilled.
Great -- and generous -- servings, as well as pleasant wait staff.
There was some confusion on the order or we would have rated it excellent. Very attentive service and portions are very good.
Delicious food every time as well as excellent service
Excellent service and delicious food. Will definitely return.
Great authentic Mexican food at a great price. The staff is friendly and attentive
Food was very good. Waitress wasn’t exactly sure about specials, sangria, and charged us the wrong amount at the end. She was very friendly but didn’t check on us for drink refills when we were eating. Mariachi band was fun and it’s a nice atmosphere.
Had lunch there today - the staff was very friendly and the drinks and food where EXCELLENT.
Delicious food, friendly and attentive wait staff. Comfortable seating.
The parking options are very limited...Parking lot small. We drove around three times before we found a spot, and it was after going to look for a different restaurant in the area. My friend really wanted to go here, so we doubled back to see if parking lot opened up.
salsa was not as good as usual - was watery more like tomato sauce than salsa
Shrimp enchiladas was very good. Great service and very friendly staff
We went after a movie on a week night. You can order as late as 10:00 P.M. On a week night. Service and food very good. Margaritas are $8 on Wednesdays. Plan to go back again.
Great food good service
Friendly and professional staff serving excellent food.
Consistently good.
Food, service, atmosphere, value
Attentive service but not over the top. Food was great. As always.
Good food, good service
We came a a year or two ago but forgot how great the food was, will be back soon
The servers were really nice but the food was a little disappointing.
nice environment, friendly staff
Everything was great.
The food is so good and the service is fast and professional. One of our favorite places! We appreciate that they have non-Mexican food options for the kids!
Very high quality food.
Our server was very pleasant and solicitous, and the food was terrific.
It was Mother's Day understandable. However, we had to keep asking different workers "where is our waitress/waiter"? We sat for 1/2 hour with no drinks or utensils. Not one person came by to ask us if we needed a drink of water. Finally, with much frustration, I said something. Another 10 mins went by I finally went to the bar area and found our waitress working that area, cleaning the bar. I said where are our drinks? She came back with a corona, granted we had order sangria and waters for the table. Our side table guacamole never arrived. We questions our side table guacamole 3x before we gave up! Horrible service!!!
Good service
The server was great, very attentive.
Great service great food fast

Good service, friendly and responsive wait staff. Food was very good.
The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Food is fresh and delicious! Fresh guacamole made at the table is always a must!
The only thing my food and the rest of my family found our dinner to be extremely salty. We never had this problem before but caused a few of us I got headaches afterwards.
It was superb.
Food is great. Service is less than average.
It's a fun atmosphere, and the staff is so nice! The food is tasty.
Service is very good. Margaritas and food are very good.
I wasn't wild about the rap music but thankfully there were other styles of Mexican music playing. Decor is really cute and the booths are roomy and comfortable. And all the waitstaff were smiling and friendly.
always good food, good service.
Waitress was not customer friendly
This restaurant has a very comfortable setting. Music playing, however, not overwhelming. We were in a rush that lunch time, and expressed it to our server. He was wonderful. We had appetizer, a drink and a really good lunch. As we had never dined at this restaurant, We were QUITE SURPRISED! The service was prompt and the food VERY GOOD! WE will RETURN!
The food is always delicious!!! We love this place, and love the salsa bar!
The food was great, but our server was exceptional!
Delicious, fresh food, the best Patron margaritas, fabulous service. Every time.
Great service. Delicious, fresh food. The best margaritas in the universe!
The atmosphere was bright pleasant and welcoming. The staff was attentive personal and professional.
