" I recently tried Rios Barbacoa for the first time and was blown away by the quality of their barbacoa. The flavors were spot on, reminiscent of the home-cooked meals I grew up with. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. This place will definitely be my go-to for barbacoa from now on. I also loved the homemade flour tortillas, which perfectly complemented the meat. I truly felt like I was getting an authentic taste of San Antonio traditions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Is it just me, or is the barbacoa at Rios too greasy? While I appreciate their speed and service during my last visit, I just couldn't enjoy the dish due to the overwhelming greasiness. The tortillas were decent, but they left a lot to be desired when compared to others. I would recommend trying it for the experience, but I personally won't come back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rios Barbacoa is a gem in Helotes! I always go there to grab barbacoa for our Sunday family brunch. The flavors are spot-on authentic, and the portions are generous. I love supporting local businesses, and the service has always been welcoming. Just be sure to get there early, or you might miss out on their menudo, which sells out quickly! Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experiences here. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden treasure! The barbacoa is succulent, full of flavor, and served with fresh toppings. My only complaint? I wish they offered more choices of salsa! Would love to see a spicier option on the menu for those of us who love a kick. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, though sometimes struggling with large crowds. Overall, I would recommend Rios to anyone looking for delicious barbacoa. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every Saturday my family makes it a point to grab breakfast tacos from Rios Barbacoa! Honestly, they probably have the best barbacoa I've ever tasted, with just the right balance of meat-to-fat. The homemade tortillas are a hit with the kids, especially with some freshly made salsa. I'm impressed by how consistently good their food is—it’s hard to beat! Service is fast, and the atmosphere is friendly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
