I've eaten at Rio Border Cafe many times, and every time is a fantastic experience! The food is so delicious - my personal favorite is the enchiladas mole poblano, with a fruit smoothie. The nacho appetizer is an excellent way to start your meal, whether you're a group of 2 or 20. And if you're a fan of margaritas, they have a great selection of tasty options for you to try! This is also an awesome place to have a party, as they have plenty of space for bigger groups. I love the colorful and warm decor, which matches the warm and inviting attitude of the staff every time I visit. Highly recommend! If you haven't been to Rio Border Cafe yet, make sure to stop by next time you want a fun experience and some phenomenal Mexican food to make your day!

Willy W.Delicious food, Relaxing Atmosphere and Variety of food menus, Great service. Thanks RIO BORDER CAFE teams for amazing gift.
Andrew B.This is my first time eating here. This is the genuine Mexican Food Store. At first, I was unsure. I wish I had ordered rice and peas, as well as the extra gravy. The cuisine is absolutely delicious. We'll have to come to a halt the next time we're in this neighborhood
Diani F.My family and friends are obsessed with Rio. We’ve been coming here for years. The food is amazing, the staff is so friendly, and you will most likely leave with a good cry. Raul makes the best 1800 Margarita pitcher. Mario will sing you too sleep and Javier will make sure you’re well fed. We love RIO

Lilly P.My family and I frequent RIO often and Jasmin and the RIO team are always very welcoming and very detail oriented. This place has had longevity in the community and I believe it has everything to do with the combination of quality food and service.
