Date night on a CU move-in weekend - we expected to need earplugs but surprisingly were seated at a quiet corner booth! Perfect for conversation so quite the treat. Food was good - I ordered the steak fajitas - meat was in very large thick slices - would have preferred thinner slices but overall a good date night!

Table and view were excellent, service was good, not great, food was not worth the price nor were the drinks (margaritas were smaller servings than we are accustomed to), and the bowl of chips was a mini-bowl, so with four at the table, you each got two chips before the bowl was empty. Don't take my word for it, we are from Houston originally and it is hard for us to find Mexican food we like outside of there. It did not help that we sat next to two obnoxiously loud parties that were doing shots, cussing at the top of their lungs and just making a ton of racket. I am glad it was the rooftop! I would go back there again just to sit on the roof, it is a beautiful setting. I was warned that the food was not the best part of the experience

My girlfriend and her daughter were treated very poorly at the fron door. They told the hostess that they were meeting me and that I was already inside at my table. As they proceeded to walk inside the hostess rudely told them to go back outside and wait unti someone escorts them inside. Not only was it 97 degrees outside and in the direct sun, but they already told her I was at my table in the corner and could go there directly. We sat in the corner table and were inundated with flies the entire time. Flies, really ? in a restaurant ? It was pretty sad.

It was our sons 22nd birthday and The Rio is a perfect spot for that age group! We had a party of 6 so very affordable as well. Caylin totally deserves a big fat raise if you ask us! She was the bartender for the entire restaurant because several people did not show, plus she waited on us! Never did she falter nor remove her smile and kind upbeat attitude!!! We cannot give her enough praise!

It’s a good spot. Mostly upset that I reserved a table, showed up 15 mins early, and they still sat us at the bar. Not sure if that’s on Rio Grande or Opentable.
