★★★★★ 5.0 Cari-Ann · Feb 2026

Amazing food every time we come in. Servers are always friendly and fast. They seem like they enjoy their jobs vs being a chore to take an order like many places these days. The portions are HUGE. We never leave without a couple boxes. The birra tacos are to die for... the margaritas are appropriately strong (and only $2 on Wednesday). This is def our go to spot for amazing food, amazing service, and just a great meal. The ONLY negative I would say is that the chips aren't fresh :(.

We ate at Rio Burritos for lunch with some friends. They suggested I try the Pambazo sandwich. It was delicious! The bread on these is nothing like I've ever had before. You can get it with various kinds of meat. Huge portions. I tried the steak and it was amazing. The chips were baked and flavorful. Wife got the steak quesadillas which were extra large and meaty. Good drink selection. Service was cordial and prompt. I highly recommend!

RioBurritos might be best known for their quesa birria tacos: slow-cooked, perfectly seasoned beef tucked into cheesy tortillas and served with rich dipping consomé (pictured here). But tonight I went with the veggie burrito, and wow… fresh, delicious flavors all around. Really enjoyed it! The space is welcoming and festive, with an extensive menu, full bar, and super friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommend Rio Burritos!

We recently visited Rio Burriots to celebrate our granmdmother’s birthday. There was a table large enough to accommodate our group without calling ahead, and it looked like they were also able to accommodate another large group coming in later that evening. The food was fresh and well prepared. We tried the elote preparado and it was excellent, I would definitely recommend trying do you like elote. Chips and salsa were served with the meal. For the birthday girl they also brought out a complementary fried ice cream, although they offered a few options.

Went there for lunch and had a good experience. The food was good and the service was good. Good portions and the vegetables seemed to be very fresh. Salsa was good but not very spicy which most people will like. I’ll be back for more.
