For a big of a party we had, I found they were quite accommodating and seemed to be able to get everyone's correct order seamlessly. I ordered a taco salad and thought for the size, the price was quite reasonable. I thought it was pretty good and filling. I don't think I would order it in the future since it's a simple dish that is not unique to the establishment. My husband ordered the pupusas and wasn't very impressed but stated it was edible. It seemed most people at the party enjoyed their food with a few misses on some appetizers like the crab dip. One of the regulars stated some of their dishes weren't their usual quality but said they believe it was an off day. The two servers we had were very nice and didn't miss a beat with such a large party. Overall, I would return if I was in the area and wasn't planning to eat some where else. It seems like a nice local go to place for lunch.

As you walked in, the restaurant is clean, vibrant, filled with colorful decorations and music video. I ordered 6 items: 1) Sopa de Pollo 2) Pork Pupusas 3) Chicken Tamales 4) Lengua Taco 5) Pescada Fish Taco 6) Fried Plantains. There were 3 different sauce bottles that were place on the tables. 1) Tomato vinegar base 2) Spicy 3) Green/mild. There were 8 varieties of pupusas but I chose pork. When it arrive to the table, it was piping hot served with a light vinegar slaw. The consistency was spot on and delicious. There are 9 selections for tacos but I only chose 2 which were lengua (tongue) and fish. The protein was generously portion, garnished with chopped cilantro and onions. I try the tongue by itself first and it so tender, melts in your mouth and so flavorful. I add some green sauce and boy it enhances the flavors even more. As for the pescado fish, I really want this to taste good but unfortunately it didn't because the fish was tilapia. The unique taste of the tilapia overpowered the entire dish for me. The fried plantains were delicious and firm. Sopa de pollo was absolutely amazing, that broth was so smooth and filled with umami but the quarter chicken was dried. The bowl of soup was served with fluffy rice mixed with corn and some hot tortillas wrapped in foil. I had excellent service from server Jossie L. She was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I would make a return visit to try other items on their menu.

Ordered a variety of plates as the family wanted a few options for an early dinner We ordered the baleadas with meat, queso birrias, chicken tamales, and pupusas. Overall, the pupusas were the best and the winner amongst the family. The baleadas were a little disappointing as it was a few little marinated meat, and the queso birrias were okay, nothing wrong with them. And the chicken tamales were good. Overall, definitely returning and likely trying other plates such as their soups or other traditional Central American plates.

Service: Always exceptional. I can't believe I haven't left a review before! We always come here for big occasions because there is so much choice and we love tapas style lunch/dinner: 10/10 Food: What isn't good here!? We always get the charcuterie board, the white pizza, the paella, and other small plates:10/10. Drinks: I've tried quite a few of their cocktails and have to admit the only thing I didn't love was the Bloody Mary but that is down to personal preference. Everyone makes theirs a little different and that's okay. Regardless: 10/10. Overall, a solid 5 stars for Tapa Rio. I'll keep coming back here for sure!

We started with the charcuterie board which was nice in presentation, portion and taste. Within less than a minute, she returned with our meals. We did not have time to enjoy the charcuterie board so it became take home. Our dinner orders were seafood paella and chicken parmigiana. While both meals were flavorful, the paella had 2 mussels, 2 medium shrimp, 2 medium scallops on top of saffron rice. The chicken parmigiana was a small portion of pasta with a few tiny bits of chicken. Overall the cost of the meals were overpriced for what you got. Since there are so many great restaurants in downtown Fredericksburg, we won't be returning here.
