Literally they have the best Mexican food in the Valley!! Always consistent and service is always great. We have at times went to another Mexican restaurant but always feel like Rio is without a doubt the best. Great food and great people! They can also accommodate large groups pretty easily.
Best Mexican food in Wv. The staff are all great and are very friendly. The prices are excellent. Great atmosphere.
I've loved this place for as long as I can remember, excellent service excellent food and a great place to get together with loved ones for a good dish and good time !
Today my husband and I struggled to decide what we wanted for dinner so we decided to order carry out. We scoped out a few restaurants and ultimately decided on Rio Grande. We easily accessed the Menu through google by tapping on the menu tab under the restaurants google description along with the appropriate number needed to place our order. We dialed the number and almost immediately got an answer. We ordered the appetizer wings(hot) as something new to try. When we opened the container the wings were browned and crispy! The hot sauce for the wings was in a separate container. I thought this was great because it allowed the wings to keep their crisp and allowed us to add the amount of sauce we desired! We also ordered the tamales. This was a new experience for both my husband and I. The tamales were great size and portion. They tasted amazing considering I was unsure what to expect. They had a brown like meat gravy on top of them. (Again I never had them and didn't know what to expect) Personally could have done without the extra meat added on top of the tamales. Per-usual we ordered the usual -- steak fajita and loaded nachos-- amazing portions and great quality! If you don't want soggy chips in your loaded nachos I suggest to ask for them to be served on the side because they will get soft, fast. Once the phone was answered and the order was placed they said it will be "ready in 10!" 10 minutes for all that food! Faster than most drive thru services! When walking in, my husband said it smelt absolutely delicious and that the atmosphere felt nostalgic and snug. The only thing I undoubtedly regret not snapping a photo of our food to share with you! We will return and hopefully try some more 'new to us' menu items!
Fast service, all the staff know what they are doing. You almost never have to wait for your food longer than 5 minutes. The food is great and is priced very cheap there's not many sit down restaurants anymore where you can have a large meal for 2 people for under 30 dollars, sometimes even less.
My family and I love this place. The staff is always kind and quick with service. It's always very clean. It is very popular and though the parking lot is usually packed, we have never had to wait to be seated. The chips and salsa are great and everything we have ever ordered was as good as any Mexican restaurants we have ever been in (and it's a lot in many different states). Their prices have remained very affordable and without cutting the portions. If you have small children or picky eaters, they are more than happy to accommodate everyone. The atmosphere is always very pleasant as well. If you're in Nitro, WV and want some great authentic Mexican food at a good price, I highly recommend it.
Good solid, authentic Mexican food! VERY friendly service in a busy place after church! Tasty chips and salsa and nice entrees with sides!
