The drinks and food keep us coming back, and we also appreciate that we can usually get in and out within about an hour without ever feeling rushed. That said, the last two times we've gone our table service has been disappointing. We had two different servers, and both experiences felt pretty cold and unfriendly. The interactions were brief and came across as rude, which was surprising because we've had such positive experiences here in the past. It's honestly a bummer because we really do love this place and will absolutely keep coming back. I'm hoping these last couple visits were just off nights, because Rio Bravo is usually one of our favorite spots around here.

I ordered the veggie quesadillas and they were amazing.

Husband got the steak burrito and he loved it. The portion sizes were massive. We both took home enough for another meal. Plantains were good. We especially loved the complimentary sopapilla-esque bites of cinnamon sugar tortillas with whipped cream and cherry sauce which were provided at the end of our meal.

We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, expecting it to be packed. It was actually pretty quiet and service was exceptional. There were a couple of drink specials that we had to try - a Mexican Espresso Martini with honey tequila and cinnamon simple syrup and a spicy pineapple margarita. Both were amazing. Chips were warm and salsa was good. After we ordered, the food came out quick - shockingly so. Both my chicken tamale and Chile relleno were smothered in this amazing red sauce with nice chile flavor. The relleno had a very satisfying cheese pull and reminded me of what I used to get in Southern California. The chicken in the tamale was a little dry, but I used the red sauce to solve that problem real quick. The dish that I was a little disappointed in was the birria taco - the consomme was very oily and didn't have that depth of flavor that you expect from this dish. There also wasn't nearly enough cheese. The braised beef inside was very very tender and tasty, though. The Pollo Sinaloense - a thinly pounded and breaded chicken breast topped with chorizo and cheese - was unique and delicious, and nicely balanced with a little salad and Spanish rice. The restaurant itself is bigger than it looks from the outside and the booths are nice and comfy. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. They seem to have a great happy hour and a huge menu, so we can't wait to return to try some more!

Located in the Maine Mall, you'll find this Mexican establishment in the food court area next to…read morethe restrooms. No, that was not an attempt to say you'll need to use it after. They literally are the first restaurant right after the restroom area and next to a French fry place. The food was fantastic. All the ingredients used seem fresh and not something that has been sitting there for hours. The quality of the meats was great and the sauces appear to be made in house.I had a burrito in salad form. It came with rice, beans, fresh avocado, chips, pico de Gallo, and a meat of your choice. I left off the cheese. My wife had the tacos and the kids each got a burrito. The only reason for the 4-stars is the pricing. They are a bit on the pricey side where for four people (3 tacos, 1 burrito and 2 burrito salads ran close to $75. Staff was very friendly. If you are willing to pay premium prices for a Mexican food joint in a mall food court, try them out. The food won't disappoint, but it will hit the wallet.

Ever since I regularly started to visit Portland a few years back, multiple friends who had also…read morevisited the city had recommended Taco Escobarr. I had never taken them up on their recommendation in the past, though, as I don't find Mexican food in the Northeast to be anything special - and I'm not really in the mood for it when in Maine. However, I was looking to try some new (to me) spots this past trip, and was in the mood for Mexican, so I decided to check it out for dinner. Escobarr is located on Congress Street - I had always been told this is a super popular spot however when I arrived on a Wednesday evening it was only half full so I easily snatched a seat at the bar. The interior is fun - the vibes are relaxed and the decor is just enough to let you know you're in a Mexican restaurant without being too over the top. The aesthetic highlights for me was the large string of pepper lights hanging from the ceiling, and the bangin' millennial playlist they were playing. I decided to start with a margarita, because Mexican restaurant. They have a variety of flavors but I went simple with their signature one. It was pretty good, nothing too noteworthy but a solid marg nonetheless. As suggested by the name, the star of the menu is tacos - they have a good variety of fillings, and can be purchased a la carte or in combination with sides. They also have a few non-taco offerings, though less than a standard Mexican restaurant - this is mainly a taco joint. I decided on three tacos - chicken, chorizo, and al pastor, and ordered a side of beans. Food came out super fast, and overall my meal was fine. These weren't the best tacos I've had, but they did hit the spot and the filling was generous. The side of beans was fine as well - they were beans. Note that chips and salsa are not obligatory here, kinda odd but maybe that's just their thing. After another round and some nice conversation with some other patrons and the staff, I made my way. Service was great - the staff were super fun and engaging with each other and the customers. That, along with the fun vibes are the reasons I feel one would come to Taco Escobarr. The food is just fine, but the overall experience was good. Would I return for the vibes alone? Perhaps, but I'm not running back.
