Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant-Greeley

“Pleasant atmosphere both inside and out. Margaritas were very good and the food was outstanding. The steak nachos as appetizer or shared dinner are amazing and everyone loved what they had. 100% worth the drive and I will go back when next in the area.”

“The Rio was amazing. As soon as we got in, we were seated at the bar. The staff was attentive, personable, and made us feel at home. We started with a wonderful house salsa, and we got their queso which was to die for. For an entree we got a fajita for 2 with mushrooms. The mushrooms were the best mushrooms I have had, and the tomatoes were grilled to perfection. The Fajita platter for 2 was big enough that we filled up, and had enough to take home to make leftovers, and we aren't particularly light eaters. I paid surprisingly less than I was expecting for one of the best dining experiences I have had in Greeley. If you enjoy great food and a cozy beautiful atmosphere, definitely give The Rio a try.”

“First time here. There were 5 in our party. Nice decor. It took almost an hour to get our food. Our server was good about refilling our chips but overlooked refilling our water carafes. Food was good. I had the Grilled Chicken Quesadillas and we all shared the Rio Trio Sampler (guacamole, chile con queso, classic green salsa) which were all tasty. Someone at our table had the Grilled Skirt Steak Burrito. I sampled the steak and it was flavorful and the green chili was spicy. I was surprised that they didn’t offer any ground beef options for tacos or burritos. Overall I would have given 5 stars if the wait for our food didn’t take so long.”

“I love the decor and atmosphere around the restaurant, nice patio and clean restrooms, drinks are ok but food.. i don’t know how to explain how disappointed we were because this place could be better, you guys need to pay attention on the food, the food is not good, birria burrito completely dry, fajitas with a small amount of steak, super salty rice, the skillet wasn’t even hot.. etc etc Im feel sorry for this, the restaurant is so pretty and it has good service. At the end we ordered desserts and those were tasty, how ever we ended buying fast food somewhere else because basically we didn’t eat the dishes, they were pretty bad”

“Food and service is always great, which is why this experience was so disappointing. We had a larger group dining together, and our checks were split several different ways. Understandably, that can get complicated, and while several of the checks came out incorrectly, our group chose to sort it out ourselves rather than make an issue of it. After collecting payment and getting ready to leave, our server stopped us and explained that two items had not been included on any of the checks. No problem—mistakes happen, and we were happy to pay for the missing items. However, while I was standing there waiting for her to process the additional payment, I overheard her say to her coworker AS I AM STANDING BEHIND HER, "I almost had a table dine and dash on me." That comment was made while myself and other members of our group were actively standing there waiting to process a payment for the items that had accidentally been left off the checks *not our fault*. As someone who also works in the restaurant industry, I found this surprising and honestly a bit offensive. We were patient, understanding, and willing to help resolve a billing mistake that was not our fault, yet the comment made me feel as though we were being viewed as dishonest customers. I don't believe there was any malicious intent behind the remark, but it left a sour impression on what otherwise could have been a positive dining experience. I wanted to share this feedback because professionalism and communication matter, especially when addressing situations involving payment discrepancies.”
