There was only one waiter for the entire restaurant but he did a heck of a job. The food was authentic Mexican and we really enjoyed it. They also have great drinks and were quick to refill our iced tea. I recommend this hotel and this restaurant especially if you’re traveling cross country with dogs. They were very accommodating.

Found this place while driving around. Was craving bloody marys and although it wasn’t in the menu it was available the restaurant was clean and it wasn’t busy. Staff was friendly and prompt with service. The drinks were excellent and the food was delicious. My 8 year old loved the Spanish rice and she rarely finishes her meal, this one was gone. She even asked to return again. I ordered the combination plate while my husband got the burrito. The potatoes inside tasted like fresh homemade instead of frozen. Everything was great and I’m excited to try more from their menu

Not bad for a hotel restaurant. I especially liked the veggie sandwich. Had grilled asparagus as a side, also nice. Menu seemed a bit limited. Server was friendly and attentive.

Comfortable and relaxing, welcoming and friendly employees. Had great service at lunch time. The food is fresh and the menu has more to offer than you might expect at a hotel. Local flavors and inventive menu items.

One of our favorite parts of the Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn was the fact that breakfast was included – but it’s the nicest free breakfast we’ve ever had! It’s a restaurant that’s connected to the hotel, and it was fabulous! We got 4 vouchers for our breakfasts, and it was so nice to be able to roll out of bed and into this lovely little restaurant!

For the convenience, and with the food voucher, I decided to give this place a try. Service was average (Jayden was very kind), but the food was sub-par. I ordered the Big, Bad Burrito with carne adovada and a side of refried beans. My burrito was just beans and rice – no meat. I hate complaining about food, but felt that for $15 I should get at least something. After bringing it to Jayden’s attention and he went back to the kitchen I heard, “busted!” So, that mistake seemed very intentional… the 3 tables around me also had either inedible food or an unsatisfactory meal. Not worth it – try something else around the area!!

Chicken, rosemary and rice soup was tasty & flavorful, but a bit spicy for me. I think I forgot where I was– New Mexico! Chiles! Side salad was gross. Actually served me rotton lettuce in the salad. Grilled Chicken sandwich was tasty.
