" Visited RIO ON MAIN for a family dinner, and it was a hit with everyone! The waitress was very accommodating, and the restaurant even offers a kids' menu, which is a big plus. Everyone enjoyed their meals, especially the burritos and nachos. I loved how the environment is family-friendly yet vibrant enough for an adult night out too. I think we'll be making this a regular spot for our family dinners. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried RIO ON MAIN and while the food was good, it wasn't quite the authentic Mexican experience I was hoping for. My friends enjoyed their meals tremendously, especially the fajitas and nachos. I had the enchiladas, which were tasty, but the sauce wasn't what I remember from my travels in Mexico. The service was solid and the atmosphere was lively, with great music playing in the background. It's a fun spot, just not my go-to for Mexican food. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled when I walked into RIO ON MAIN! The atmosphere was incredible, buzzing with energy and delight. We tried a variety of items from the menu; I particularly loved the spicy shrimp tacos. Each bite was filled with flavor. The staff was fantastic, ensuring we had everything we needed. I did think the prices were a little high for some entrees, but the overall experience made it worth it. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" RIO ON MAIN has become my local favorite spot! With its vibrant atmosphere and generous portions, I've never left disappointed. I usually go for their enchiladas; they always come to the table hot and full of flavor. The service has been great, which really adds to the experience. Plus, the margaritas are among the best I've had. I highly recommend checking out their happy hour specials too! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were very excited to try RIO ON MAIN after hearing good things, and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. We tried the combo platter; it had a little bit of everything, which was great for sharing. The hot and spicy salsa was out of this world! The only downside was that I thought the prices were a bit high for some items. Overall, I'd say it was a great experience, and we left satisfied. " (*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*)
