Stale tortilla chips, watery guacamole, stale tea, and flavorless food. I am not really sure how this place has an average 4/5, it’s worse than school cafeteria taco day.We would have been better off going to a gas station, as it is we are paying for food we won’t eat and going to a restaurant that actually knows how to prepare food.

Very nice step above atmosphere, but not too much.Located at SRP Park.Food was very good.They offer a window view of the Augusta Green Jackets playing field.Be prepared for meter parking and pay parking buildings. Parking in front of restaurant is very limited; however there is ample parking nearby.It's definitely worth a revisit.

Not good. No flavor. Ordered shrimp quesadilla they gave me one shrimp taco. Guacamole was watery like pea soup. Attached photo. Margaritta was good.

Ordered Mexican rice, chicken cantina dip, steak salad and wanted a drink; never in my life have I been somewhere and the meat all of it chewy an dry. The taste was not great either, service was so poor only one server it seemed like. Steak salad was dry two pieces of tomato and steak was shelved up just totally disappointed me. Instead of asking me what they could do better the manager had the nerve to charge me half price for the food I didn’t even eat I agreed for one plate that was eatin however the other food was not. I will not be going back here awesome location awful food. Never again.

We just had the worst experience ever at this restaurant.went there to celebrate our granddaughter birthday everyone ordered and when we wanted to pay for our dinner the manager said we could not pay the bills separately so one person had to come up with over 600.00 dollars and we had to figure how much each person had to pay our selves.they didn’t even give each person a itemized bill so we don’t even know how much each person owed.This is very poor way to run a business,I will tell everyone not to come to your restaurant because you do not know how to run a business properly.I rate your business with a big fat 0.

I am a very fair and reasonable customer. I ordered a Margarita and it was entirely too strong. I literally took a sip and knew this was not the drink for me. Our waitress was also the bartender(smh) I kindly said take the drink back in exchange for a beer(corona). The waitress refused. I asked for the manager. She said she was the manager. Overall food was decent as always so no complaints there. 0 tip for her. 14 bucks wasted!

Food is good and margaritas are decent but the service is horrendous. Everyone looks miserable to be working there and take forever to get your order or bring your items. Normally sit outside but ended up in front of kitchen last visit and the cooks kept staring at us and laughing and making comments and we felt very uncomfortable. Place has potential but needs skilled employees with better attitudes.

If you are looking for a nice Mexican restaurant with a good bar, this is not it. We were hopeful when we saw pics of the bar, but there isn't a bartender. The service was so bad we didn't leave a tip. We had to chase someone down to get a top shelf margarita. The only reason this is a 2 star and not a one is because the food is decent. Would not recommend this place.

Looking to eat out this weekend? Or simply in the mood for delicious Mexican food? Check our Rio. It’s absolutely one of my favorite spots to dine with my husband. We call it “our spot” lol when he says that I know he’s referring to Rio Cantina lol

They got my order wrong. I ordered a chicken taco, they bought out a beef taco, no big deal right? Just bring out a chicken taco and were all good.but no, right in the middle of earing with friends from work, they took my whole plate away with uneaten food just to bring out a taco! The kicker? Same uneaten food was brought right back out to me to finish what was partially eaten. And to answer your question, hell no I didn't eat it. Who does that?!
