“ I love this place. I would give it 6 stars if I could. You can’t go wrong with any of the meals. My boyfriend and I come here a lot We had his birthday party of 20 something people here once and it was a great time! Such a fun atmosphere and the service is great. So friendly, patient and nice! Came here tonight and got the grande burrito! Our waiter Baruc was really great and helped me pick the best option because I’ve been here a bunch and everything is so good. If you haven’t been give it a try. We drive from Stamford to come here. It’s worth it ”
“ I've eaten at Rio Border Cafe many times, and every time is a fantastic experience! The food is so delicious - my personal favorite is the enchiladas mole poblano, with a fruit smoothie. The nacho appetizer is an excellent way to start your meal, whether you're a group of 2 or 20. And if you're a fan of margaritas, they have a great selection of tasty options for you to try! This is also an awesome place to have a party, as they have plenty of space for bigger groups. I love the colorful and warm decor, which matches the warm and inviting attitude of the staff every time I visit. Highly recommend! If you haven't been to Rio Border Cafe yet, make sure to stop by next time you want a fun experience and some phenomenal Mexican food to make your day! ”
“ My family has been coming to Rio ever since I was born and the food has maintained the same great quality! If you are looking for great service, atmosphere (music, bar, and plenty of televisions), and flavorful Mexican food at a decent price - look no further! Tables for large parties and kid friendly. I crave their taco salad and margaritas ”
“ This was my first time visiting, and I absolutely fell in love with it, not just because of the food, but also the outstanding customer service. Jasmine and Lenny were amazing. They went above and beyond to help with everything we needed and were always ready to assist with a smile. I will definitely be coming back! ”

“ Absolutely amazing place to take your kid or go out for some fantastic margaritas! The food is incredible, the mariachi performances are wonderful, and the service is NEXT LEVEL. Yasmin is especially amazing — she didn’t miss a beat when my toddler started fussing before the food got here and immediately brought him a toy clapper that kept him super entertained! Thank you to the amazing people at Rio, we will definitely be back soon. ”
