worst mexican food in Denver
best margaritas in Denver

That's all you need to know about the Rio.

Great for after work drinks...Cheap food and a grouchy staff makes this Mexican joint slightly better then a Little Tijuana.

Visited Colorado middle of August and Rio Grande was on our list of places to eat.....was not disappointed. Margaritas were great and food was very good - very fresh tasting tortillas - our server was excellent and very friendly. Would love to have a Rio Grande here in Indiana.

Been there twice now and was impressed. Almost as good as my favorite place back home, but not quite. The wait staff is friendly and fun which makes it a great atmosphere. The green chile is excellent! Can't say much for the red sauce and such since I don't really like it much in the first place and I only get smothered in green chile. However, what I've had is great and I look forward to going back and trying other things!

Hold the food...although it rocks too. Starting the party at the "Rio" is the way to go. The Margaritas are nummy or was that numbing....
you might not remember either after a couple of them. Check it out. Nice crew, good prices.

Great Margs! Always busy, great place to work! Exceptionally Tasty food! if you want to real Rio expirence come to the one in Ft. Collins, (The REAL birthplace of the restaurant). You won't be dissappointed!

We were looking for a good, Mexican Restaurant. Walking into the Rio Grande looked and smelled great. After recieving our orders and taking the first bite into my "red chile, smothered burrito" I was appalled. I am from N.M. and this was GROSS. I was eating ketchup, pretty much! I could have had that with pasta instead! The ...

There are a ton of really great independent Mexican restaurants downtown. Don't waste your time here.

We went last Thursday nite and the place was packed...(In a good way) !! Lots of fun people watching and yummy margaritas. They have a 3 marg limit . I got a bit tipsy...Did I mention I have the muy sexy designated driver!! Go for lots of fun and good noise...and a patio that is huge. Didn't have food...but it smelled delish!!
