Love this place! The staff treat you like family and the food is amazing! We come at least 3 times a week. The owners are very hands on. If you don't love Mexican food they also have a good selection of American food to choose from. They also have the best bartenders! read more

When Alberto worked here this place was amazing. The staff would greet us and we would be taken care of. I've tried to be civil but the last 4 times I've been here the staff all act like they don't care at all. The bartender Cristina cusses non stop and acts like she hates life. Every time you order she is very hateful. I stopped going to the bar. I attempted sitting away from the bar and the food has not once came out correctly. It is unbelievable how any place can consistently get things wrong. Each and every time I had to ask for a correction on our bill because somehow the mistakes the wait staff makes happens to add $20-$40 to our tab and the manager LINA is so rude and unprofessional. She's more concerned about spreading gossip about the owners and how he makes them charge for everything and they get in trouble if the tabs aren't high. What's worse is the "manager" slams plates and then loudly makes fun of you afterwards. I thought Alberto owned the place but when we asked Lina she laughed and said he was fired. There's so many other choices to eat and to be honest whoever owns this place needs to Evaluate who they have working for them. They obviously do not care at all. Especially the "manager" Lina. read more

We decided to try this place instead of going to our regular mexican restaurant. What a mistake that was. When you first enter you immediately get the smell of fire (due to a fire that burned down 2 business) several weeks ago. They sat us at a booth that only had the springs left in the cushions. We asked to move to another booth and the same thing. Very uncomfortable. The waitress came over and took our order. She repeated everything back to us which was a good thing because she got it all wrong. We only order tacos and a burrito. My son ordered 3 tacos with no lettuce in them. Guess what, they came with lettuce. He just picked it out. My husband's tacos shells were mushy. Very stale. My burrito came. No taste to it at all. The rice we were served had to be at least 2 days old. Then we got our bill. My husband ordered tacos and so did my son. Same thing, chicken. We were charged 2 different prices for them. One was $5 more expensive than the other. When we questioned it our waitress was either playing dumb or really didn't understand what we were trying to show her. Finally got the manager to take care of it for us. NEVER AGAIN. This place is horrible. One more thing, my husband used the restroom and he said there were 2 roaches in the sink, alive ones. Can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. The need an inspector to come in. read more

Best Mexican and great service!!! They never disappoint and Sundays they have a buffet with brunch, home cooking, and Mexican food. Love this place! read more

Always a great meal! The seating is always prompt, the staff is always attentive and the food. Forget about it. There is no place better. I've strayed and tried others, thinking that maybe Del Rio is just too busy for me but nope, there's no replacement! I always come crawling back lol. Try it, you'll see... a great local spot in Dacula!!! read more

I've been going to Del Rio's since it opened and every trip there is always consistently good. For starters, the margaritas are always made well. I get the house, on the rocks and it always has a great balance of flavors (plus alcohol!). Food is good (except once when my usual fish taco's were fishier than normal) and the atmosphere is inviting. Aside from the margaritas, my favorite thing here is their cafe (brown) salsa. read more

Del Rio is absolutely a fantastic Mexican food place to go. We love the Fajitas Steak, which is juicy and tasty. With one order, it can stuff both me and my wife. And don't forget the combination, all are so good. read more

My husband and I eat at this restaurant at least once a week. Their food is incredible, their prices are great and their staff is just wonderful. Friday nights there is a father/son duo that play guitar and sing. They are one of the best little bands I've heard in a LONG time. Seriously the son needs to audition for American Idol! Definitely give this little place a thumbs up! Oh and they have a beautiful covered patio outside that you can enjoy your meal at! read more

WoW... I got the Pollo a la Chipotle. Stacking it up is a MILD statement! Lunch sent me to the couch so I could digest the 1/2 plate I managed to devour. They offer black beans and I would suggest that that is what you should do. The "standard rice n beans" are just that. The wait staff was very friendly. I am so full, I shouldnt be typing, LITERALLY. bye! read more

Had dinner here on 3/16/12. I will not be coming back... Pros: Great service from our waitress, Nachos with ground beef and cheese were yummy, mango mahi mahi that my girlfriend had was very tasty. Cons: I ordered steak and shrimp with re-fried beans and Spanish rice. The steak had clearly been microwaved (maybe to defrost?) and was covered over with half-sauteed onions -too many! It tasted like beef liver and it was unevenly cooked. Try cooking steak in a microwave and you'll see what I mean. I couldn't eat it. The beans and rice were just ok. Meh, I've had better, I've had worse. I cannot recommend ANYWHERE that microwaves a steak. I just cannot. That goes against anyone who loves to eat a good steak. It just makes me wonder what else goes on in that kitchen if they were willing to do that. read more

Great food, staff and music on Friday and Sat night :). If you want a seat near bar, you should arrive by 7pm as the place gets really packed. The bartenders are awesome and know their customers read more

Great food! I always order the fajita quesadilla but I traveled outside of the norm and tried their super burrito which was SuPer delicious :). My boyfriend favors the tri-colored enchiladas. Great salsa and queso. read more

This was my first time here and I would have to say the experience was average for most Mexican restaurants. Food was decent, wait staff was a little slow. read more

Mediocre food for a restaurant that is popular and in a great location. Had a horrible waitress that took our order and from there vanished. Entrees came and we were finished before she stopped by to check to see if everything was ok. It's standard practice to check on a guest 2-3 minutes after the arrival of their food. Likely won't return here, but we will continue frequenting their sister store Fernando's. read more

Took 5 minutes to be noticed and finally seated. Served chips and salsa and then saw no one for 10 minutes. We decided to leave as we never saw a waiter. Not busy at all. Girl at the register was too into her phone to lift her head and notice we were leaving. 1 visit and done. Never again. I have one star because I could leave zero stars. read more

We love this place! We drive half an hr just to eat here anytime we want Mexican! We think it's okay that this place isn't dog friendly! not everyone wants to eat around dogs and that's okay! read more

First and last time I eat at this restaurant, the food is pretty mediocre, my plate-chipotle chicken- had no flavor, I had to put too much salt in it, rice and beans were reheated, seemed made a week ago, my husband ordered the seafood fajitas, again, no flavor. We also ordered the cheese dip with pico de gallo, nothing out of the ordinary, the typical dip being served in any tex-mex restaurant. The service is terrible! The host never even turned to see us, didn't say a word, she just took us to the table, same with the cashier, not even a greeting, nothing! They look at you as if they were doing you a favor ! The waitress was friendly but inattentive,she said she was new and asked us not to inquire about the menu because she knew nothing about it (??). In short, I will not return to this restaurant. Primera y ultima vez que como en este restaurante, la comida es bastante mediocre, mi plato -pollo con chipotle- no tenia sabor, tuve que ponerle muchisima sal, el arroz y frijoles estaban recalentados, parecian hechos hace una semana; mi esposo pidio las fajitas de mariscos, otra vez, nada de sabor. Tambien ordenamos el dip de queso con pico de gallo, nada fuera de lo comun, el tipico dip que te sirven en cualquier restaurante tex-mex. El servicio es terrible! La anfitriona ni siquiera nos saludo, lo mismo la cajera, ni siquiera un saludo, nada! te miran como si te estuviesen haciendo el favor de atenderte! La mesera amable pero bastante poco atenta, dijo que era nueva y que no le preguntaramos sobre el menu porque no sabia nada (???) , en fin, no regresaria aunque me pagaran. read more

Worst Mexican restaurant on the planet. Ordered fajitas for two and the meat (chicken and steak) was obviously cooked hours before. They tossed the old meat on top of fresh vegetables and called it food. The meat was so dry that swallowing it was all but impossible. I told them, they re-made the meal and in less than two minutes had a new plate of the same crap sitting on our table. I told the server and the manager and they cared not. The manager's lack of care and lack of action spoke volumes. As did the "screw you" look on his face. This place is kind of fun because it is busy and they have live music. We've been here quite a few times and I've never been particularly impressed with the food. Given that they under performed, even compared to my low expectations, I will not return. Oh and I'm not even going into how the server greeted us by complaining about a couple that was sitting at one of her other tables. She said some very rude things about complete strangers. Her endearing qualities only went down hill from there. Horrible restaurant, horrible people, horrible experience. read more

This is a place that my friends & I have frequented for years for late night drinks. The food is adequate & typically the service is above average. However, tonight was totally unacceptable. After ordering a drink - after waiting 20 for the bar tender to see us again - she not only did not deliver the drink to us, but refused to acknowledge us for the next 30 minutes. She would not even look at us to give us the bill after we had been there for two hours.... So I guess if you want to be ignored, this is your place... read more

This place is a pretty good mexican restaurant. It has of course very generic food, but the service is always good. My favorite waiter says "hey amigo", "what you drink amigo", "you doin good amigo". He says it like 1000 times and my and friends always make jokes about it, but he is awesome. Good guys there keep me coming back. read more

Went to Del Rio with friends for dinner tonight. For the most part everyones food was good and tasty except mine. I ordered the fajitas Del Rio. Everything on the griddle was overcooked and slightly burnt which caused the meat to be dry. My flour tortillas were also dry and stuck together. I started to send mine back but, didn't want to cause a problem for our friends and disrupt their meal. Our server was very good. Noise level was also very high which made it impossible to carry on a conversation. Most likely will not return. read more

Horrible service, especially by some waitress named Lina I think that she thinks she's playing frisbee with her customers bc she's over here throwing the plates and giving the worst attitude for me not catching them... read more

They might have really good food, but we'll never know - we never got to try the food. We never got to order the food. We were seated, then forgotten about. We waited over an hour, then left. So, we can't really tell you about the food. But we can tell you that this place is CROWDED. And, LOUD! Ridiculously loud. So, if you like loud, crowded and zero service, give it a try. read more

I live around the area, this place is maybe 8 minutes from me. I go there on occasion and sometimes i order for pickup. ordering for pickup: it's like a hit or miss. Whoever takes the order may or may not be familiar with the menu. Even when it's as easy as combo #1, make sure you tell them exactly what you want (chicken, cheese, beef). Be clear if you want any substitution or extras. Like I said, it's a hit or miss. Food: it's not expensive food, so you get what you pay for. I'm not saying it's awful, or else i wouldn't come back. Ambiance: it's always loud. They have live music sometimes and i know that some patrons go specifically for that reason. If you like that kind of thing, then this is the page for you. Parking: parking is sufficient although you might have to take a longer walk whenever the restaurant is full. Chips and salsa come free. read more

I've been here many times and I have to give a huge shoutout to the waitress mvp AJ! She's always performing above and beyond, handling many tables all with exceptional service! And she's hilarious !!! She makes this place worth coming too! Come in and ask for AJ read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in my area. The food is good and there is live music on the weekends and a buffet on Sunday. Love their food and enjoy the customer service. read more

We've been here multiple times throughout the years and it is been steadily going downhill for the past few years. Tonight, was the worst my family has never experienced there. The music was so loud we couldn't even talk to the person next to us for a 6 PM dinner. We asked the server to turn it down. She went to the manager and was immediately told no. The food was horrible and couldn't even finish our plates. We won't be going back. read more

Short version: POOR service, POORER management Long version: We arrived and we're seated after a short wait. We waited 30 min for the first half pitcher of margarita. When it showed up, I asked if it was full or half since we ordered a half and it seemed quite large. I was assured it was a half. Took 30 more minutes to order food and it to arrive. It's clear our server was not trained well at all as she didn't know the menu. She assured us we'd get a discount for our meal because of all the waiting. Then, upon receiving the bill, I was charged for a full pitcher and no discount anywhere. I asked for them to reduce it to half price since that's what we ordered and we didn't finish it. I was then told that the manager said since we drank over half we would have to pay for it. I asked for the manager who tried to re-explain. I then explained the scenario and finally got the right check. Complete hassle after I was clear what I wanted. Manager Alberto wouldn't explain face to face, simply sending messages through his wait staff. Won't be back. read more

Wife ordered 2 of the Surracha Shrimp tacos plates to go. Menu states very clearly that they come with rice. She gets home and it's only the 3 tacos in the plate. They were ok but when I asked where was the rice she said that's all they gave her. I am writing this review while they have me on hold waiting to speak to a manager. So far it's been 16 mins on hold and no manager or anyone for that matter asking why they have someone holding. Won't ever go back. Food isn't terrible but the service is lousy. $12 for 3 tacos. I don't care if they are shrimp. This place is so not worth it. Anybody that gives them over 3 stars probably works there. Avoid it at all costs. read more

Great Place, Great people, Great food and the bartenders rock. Live music I good too on Wednesday, Friday nights and Saturday nights.

Amazing food and great service! On most sundays, I love to come over with some family to sit by the bar and watch some football. The atmosphere is fun and the sunday buffet is delicious! I definitely recommend if you want some good mexican food with amazing service! read more

Wow...what a disappointment. First, was seated in a cramped spot although many other booths and tables available. Waited for 20 minutes before order was taken. Chips were thick and stale (salsa was good though). Watched five employees doing no work while we waited. Two employees at the receptionist desk dancing around (literally) while two others just sat and talked in the booth, fifth employee was in the hallway on his phone for a good 10 minutes texting. Never saw a manager on the floor checking on any customer's or employees. now..the food was lukewarm...and sub par - period. I used to come here four years ago, moved away and just came back to a disappointment. This used to be one of my favorite places to grab a bite - not anymore. read more

The food is great but the service and attitude of the staff absolutely sucks. In an effort to support local business we recently placed a large order through Uber. The order was supposed to come with 2 large bags of chips because I ordered 4 large dips. Instead they gave us 2 very small bags of chips. I called and they offered us one large bag and a cheese dip if we went there to pick it up. When we got up there the "free" dip was missing and the girl at the counter was extremely rude and acted as though the mistake was my fault. She said they are a different business from Uber. And she's right. Uber did their job and the driver was excellent. It was the restaurant that got cheap on the chips with us. read more

First time out since Feb. been staying home due to pandemic. The food was excellent, cooked perfectly to order. Our service was great as well. Wish I knew our servers name. A nice young lady who was on top of refills and patient with my son. There were barcodes on the table to get online menu if desired. Servers all had masks on and restaurant wasn't full so plenty of space. So nice to be back out. Will be back again! read more

My wife and I have been here a few times and at each visit, we've ordered food and adult beverages. Upon finishing our meal, we have made our way to the door as quick as possible. While the food is alright and staff fairly quick with service, the "live bands" performing have been out motivation to leave. A band of "old guys" practicing on stage seemed to be there every time we choose to eat at Del Rio. Maybe one time, we enjoyed the music. One time!!!! So overall, food- not bad, staff- ok, music- horrible, price- fair. read more

Ate here for the first time today ! Had the all you can eat buffet. EVERYTHING was great! Had ribs, wings, enchiladas , beans rice cheese dip . All desserts.. You guys need to come on Sundays !! You will not be disappointed! read more

We LOVE this restaurant! Every time I have eaten here, I have had great food that was hot and fresh. There is live music on Friday's and Saturday's, and it is a great place to go out with friends or for a quiet dinner for "date night." My husband and I have never been disappointed here. Great chimichanga's and I love the cheesy rice too! This place does get busy, so sometimes there is wait. Overall though, I Highly recommend! read more
