rio grande mexican

terrible. first you will notice the service here is poor. we weren't even greeted, and our server literally threw our menus on the table and walked away not even indicating where to sit. it took an abnormally long amount of time to just get us water. the place was remarkably packed, so i was expecting the food to be good. our "bean dip" was 3/4 cheese, my wife's steak burrito was just that - dry unseasoned steak in a tortilla with nothing else in it. and to top that off an abnormal amount of sour cream over half the burrito and haphazardly tossed shredded cheese over everything. mychickenburrito was also dry and unseasonedchickenwith the same sour cream blob and shredded cheese all over everything as if that was supposed to compensate for the poorchickenpreparation. i couldn't help but think how i spent $9 on this when i could get a better burrito at chipotle where they take the effort to marinate their meat properly. i really hope the people who go here often, as it seems to have a decent following, try some of the other family owned mexican restaurants in the area, as there are much better options. you money would be much better spent at a standard chain like don pablos.

beef,chickenor mixed fajitas. very tasty and filling, a long time favorite

delicous. i have been wanting to go here for sometime. stopped in with my two sister. an hour wait, standing on inside and out. after we were seated, warm chips and perfect salsa were served. no utensils, no napkins which could have been due to the overwhelming crowd. despite the rush, within a few minutes we were given our drinks. we waited to order, the waiter checked back about 5 minutes.
i ordered thechickenrellana. shredded chicken, veggies and cheese. would have preferred more cheese but it was still delicious. we all agreed.
my sister pam had thechickenchimichunga, loved it. the crispy tortilla was perfect. my sister kelly ordered the same as me but she went with the faita chicken. it was very good, but no veggies. hers was overloaded with chicken, which we scooped up with or left over tortillas. very nice time

the menu (to my knowledge) has not changed much over the years, the food is decently priced, the portions are generous, and they have a pretty big variety of dishes! the kid’s meals (cheese quesadilla, rice, & beans) are a mere $2.99 (drink not included) – which is not bad compared to kids meals at other local restaurants. i love the tacos carne asada, which is $9.99 for three big tacos. and thechickenchimichanga that is my husband’s fave is $8.99. like i said, the portions are large, so these prices seem very reasonable to me! and included with every meal is the complimentary chips and salsa! yum! i could dine on those alone.

so not worth it. mexican food is pretty standard across the board wherever you go, but the food ordered was, for the most part, sub-par. the chips were good and the salsa had excellent flavor and heat. the queso dip was very water/runny...but it also had excellent flavor. my enchildas suizas had very littlechickeninside, and the tomatillo sauce on top had absolutely no flavor and no heat. no rice/beans on the side and still $9. my co-diner's taquitos looked like something that you would get off the roller at a convenient store and he said they tasted worse.

i go here quite frequently. it's delicious, cheap and convenient for me to get to from work. this is my favorite northern kentucky mexican restaurant. they serve a pretty delicious chips and salsa, complimentary of course. i also recommend their cheese dip that is really creamy and for lack of better words that don't sound stupid, cheesy. my server was really great and helped me pick out a combo meal because i wanted each a chimichanga, a beef taco and a chile relleno. i got all 3 and a side of guacamole. their chimichanga is really delicious. i get mine withchickenand it is always very tender and juicy, in spite of being deep fried. i don't think that they do - but their tortillas taste freshly made. thursdays and fridays are really difficult to get in for lunch but it's worth the wait. they have a fantastic menu and great service.

nice tex-mex. not a lot of traditional mexican dishes but plenty of meat andchickencovered in cheese and sauce.
if you want a place for salsa and chips and some tasty margaritas, this place is a nice neighborhood place.
