" Rio is an interesting place! It feels genuine in terms of decor and ambiance. The waitstaff was friendly, though our food took a while to come out. The burrito I ordered was decent but I’ve had more authentic dishes elsewhere. I would give them another shot for the friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great dining experience at Rio! The fish tacos were fresh and flavorful, with the tortilla being homemade. The ambiance was friendly, and I appreciated how the staff went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The guacamole was nothing short of spectacular, prepared right in front of me. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" For someone who's not a big fan of Mexican food, I was pleasantly surprised! I tried their vegetarian enchiladas, and everything was cooked perfectly – fresh and flavorful. The service was quick, and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere. This place is a commendable choice regardless of your usual preferences. " (*Curated Review*)

" Scrumptious! I enjoyed every bite of my meal here, from the carne asada burritos to the complimentary chips and salsa. Everything felt fresh and served with a personal touch. The owner was very welcoming, and it was great to see the guacamole made right before me. I would recommend this place to any Mexican food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give this place more than five stars! The food was as authentic as I could expect without being in Mexico. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor, especially the chilaquiles. The service was impeccable as well, and they were very attentive to our table. Definitely plan on coming again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb dining experience. The guacamole made table-side is a highlight! The staff was attentive and polite. The beef tacos I tried were juicy and well-seasoned. The only downer was how busy it was; definitely recommend making a reservation. Overall, I definitely plan to return soon and bring family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Rio was far from what I anticipated. The food was under-seasoned, and I found the carne asada to be quite chewy. I expected fresher ingredients given the rave reviews, but some aspects were disappointing. Service was fine, but I would not recommend the standard dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
