" I had lunch with colleagues at RIO ON MAIN today, and it was all-around good. The chips and salsa were very nice to start with, and my steak burrito was delicious! It was served fast, which made for a great lunch break. We also had a few appetizers, and everything was hot and fresh. The décor of the place is vibrant and really adds to the dining experience. I’d definitely suggest it, especially for anyone in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a night out at RIO ON MAIN and it lived up to all the hype! The atmosphere was buzzing, and the margaritas flowed easily. My mixed platter was fantastic; it was great for sharing. Our server was very cheerful and attentive, adding to our great experience. My only minor frustration was the wait for food—it seemed longer than necessary, but the taste made up for it. I would recommend RIO ON MAIN to anyone looking for a fun evening with great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! Every time I eat at RIO ON MAIN, I am impressed. Their enchiladas are to die for; the sauce is rich, and the chicken filling is always juicy and flavorful. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service consistently receives a thumbs up from me. I brought a group of friends last week, and they were just as delighted as I was. Each of us tried different dishes from the menu, ensuring there was a variety to sample. The atmosphere is always lively but can get a little loud during peak hours. However, it’s a testament to how popular this place is! I'm already planning my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner at RIO ON MAIN last weekend. Overall, it was a decent experience. The chips and salsa were tasty, and I really enjoyed my fajitas, which were packed with flavor. However, my friend who ordered the veggie burrito said hers was rather bland. Service came sporadically; it felt like we rarely saw our waitress, which was a little disappointing, especially after hearing great things about it. I might give them another shot though, as it seems like a favorite in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, RIO ON MAIN is a gem! The service was outstanding; our server was very attentive and had excellent recommendations. I opted for the burrito bowl, which was a good size and filled to the brim with fresh ingredients. The guacamole was a perfect addition! The vibrant colors in the restaurant and the energetic vibe made for a great evening with friends. There was a bustling bar scene that I noticed too—definitely seems like a hit for happy hour. I can't wait to go back and try the tacos next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my recent visit to RIO ON MAIN. While the food was decent, nothing truly stood out as exceptional. My tacos were satisfactory, but I've had much better in other Mexican restaurants. I felt that the service could have been improved as well, as we experienced delays in receiving our drinks and food. I wasn’t impressed with the atmosphere either; it felt cramped with tables close together. I wouldn’t rule it out yet, but I’ll probably explore other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came across RIO ON MAIN while looking for a new Mexican restaurant and what a treasure it was! Their tacos were packed full of flavor and the variety is impressive. The service was friendly and the ambient vibe was perfect for hanging out with friends. Our only complaint would be that the drink menu could be expanded—it felt a bit limited. Overall, it was a great outing, and I’ll surely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
