" I absolutely fell in love with the Caldo de Res at Rio Grande! It was a perfect warm dish for the chilly evening I went. Beyond that, the service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and they even provided some really good recommendations. This place struck a wonderful balance between casual dining and an authentic Mexican experience. I can't wait to go back for their Taco Tuesdays! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Rio Grande was refreshing, with bright decorations and friendly vibes! However, I found the fajitas to be disappointingly bland. The service was good, attentive, but I hoped to taste a stronger flavor in my food. I might consider coming back for other things, but I won't be ordering the fajitas again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an evening out at Rio Grande and was really impressed! The guacamole is some of the best I’ve ever had – fresh and well-seasoned. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for conversation. My tacos were solid but didn’t wow me. Overall, I’d say I had a really nice evening and would certainly come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Rio Grande was decent, but it didn't quite meet my expectations for authentic Mexican cuisine. The tacos were good, but they felt a bit Americanized. The service was friendly, though slightly slow, especially during peak hours. The atmosphere was lively which I appreciated, but I wish the food had more authentic flavors. I might come back and try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! Went during lunch, and I was surprised at how quickly our food arrived. I ordered the tres tacos and loved how fresh everything tasted. My friends enjoyed their enchiladas too. The atmosphere made for a fun lunchtime spot, with nice decor and friendly staff. Will definitely be back for dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rio Grande is the place to go if you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Greensboro! I've been several times, and each visit has been better than the last. The carne asada burrito is a must-try because it’s huge and filled with flavor. The margaritas are also fantastic! I always feel welcomed, and the staff's attentiveness adds to the experience. I'll keep recommending this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Rio Grande left me wanting more. The food was average and lacked the vibrant flavors I had anticipated. Service was adequate, but I think they can improve. I liked the decor and ambiance of the place; it felt cozy and welcoming. While I hope to give it another try, this trip unfortunately didn’t meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
