I love Rio! And I love the location! The food is fantastic! The service is usually very good, just slow. But I imagine that is because they are so busy. The me u options are great and my favorite meal is the Taco Loco! I also love that I can order from Rio inside the ballpark!

Very good Ameri-Mex. Know what your getting not “traditional” Mexican but will suit most American pallets including kids. Try the cantina fajitas and the chorizo cheese dip. Our food was great. Margaritas are also pretty standard but good. Average strength.

The waitress which I later found out was a manager was rude and gave dirty looks to our table. Party of 3 of women and I asked for more chips and she said only 3 people you only get 1 basket of chips. I ordered beef burrito and it came out bean. The waiter brought it out and he corrected it with no problem. She came out and said why it that beef, I said I ordered beef. I don’t eat bean. She wanted to argue with me. I went to complain and they said she’s the manager there’s nothing that can be done. She kept trying to rush us out even though we were spending money. Poor management. I have never been treated in such matter at a restaurant. . I asked for her name and she refused to give it to me.

I wasn’t too impressed with Rio Cantina. I love the location being so close to the Greenway and the Green Jackets stadium, but the food was lack luster. Not a lot of flavor other than the chips and salsa.

I went to the rooftop bar across the street but the service was bad, so my friends and I went across the street to Rio Cantina. They stop serving food at 10:30 and we got there around 10:20-10:25, and they still served us. The staff was very nice and it smelt clean. The food was very flavorful and an all around nice environment. I will most definitely be returning

Stale tortilla chips, watery guacamole, stale tea, and flavorless food. I am not really sure how this place has an average 4/5, it’s worse than school cafeteria taco day.

Unfortunately the manager Yanira was so rude to us. She was not friendly. Did not want to serve us. Got our order wrong and was mad at us for saying something. She went to other customers before us. Didn’t check on us. When asking for her name, she refused to give us her name. This was the WORST experience. She was rude and unprofessional and nobody in the establishment cared.

Went there for lunch and ordered bowl salad with chicken that came with a side of soup. The menu wasn’t as descriptive, so I wasn’t sure I was going to get. The Salad was ok; it was lettuce, tomatoes, and the seasoned chicken. For some reason I expected more, maybe some beans or avocado on it. The soup was traditional, and I quite enjoyed it! I last ordered the flan, and that was ok. It wasn’t as smooth as flan is meant to be and it lacked tinge more sweetness but that’s due to the texture. It was served with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle. The flavor profile was all over the place here. This dish could be improved with a fresh caramel sauce, and some fresh fruit to stay cost effective. Given the location and the price of $15, I was satisfied with the food and experience. I will be coming back again to try other items on the menu.

Food is just less than average for the area, service is slow on a not busy day. I have been 3 times now, trying different food each time, all pretty boring. A little more expensive than other places in town.

Granted it was Cinco de Mayo, but this was the most unorganized place I have ever been in. 30 minutes to get in the door, another hour to even get a drink! After 2 hours they still had no taken our food order so we AND the table of 8 next to us all just left (I did pay for the drinks).
