    Storefront on State Street
    Katie L.

    I still love this place but fair warning vegetarians: they will NOT sub for meatless. I asked for a King Wrap made vegetarian and it was an absolute no- no potato subbing, nothing even as simple as *not* adding the scoop of meat. Was happy to pay full price. In 18 years of meatless life this is one of the first times I've seen this- only McDonald's breakfast burritos come to mind because they're premade. Surely these can't be premade? I'll be thrilled if they change this in the future but yikes!

    The food and drinks are amazing. Come here it's delicious. Customer service Tevin and Tyler superb. You will not be disappointed. I give it 5 stars.

    Good drinks. Fresh food. Brisket was tender. Would recommend for families on a trip to the beach.

    Fantastic tacos and drink options in downtown St. Joseph. Not exactly cheap, as their cheapest single taco is $3.50, but they are high quality ingredients. Each taco is worth every penny and the sauce options are also phenomenal. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you live in the area, are traveling through the area, or are offered to have someone pick them up and bring them to you. I just tried them about an hour ago and I already want to go back to stuff my face with crisply delicious pulled pork tacos.

    Double nachos

    Really neat location and cool vibe/ambiance which gives you a beach feel throughout. They also offer a lot of beach type drinks and concoctions with was a pleasant surprise. Want drinking this trip out but definitely intriguing for another time. This would probably be a great spot for meeting with friends or a chill date. The service was fine: were greeted and food came out pretty quick. with how slow it was I guess I would have interacted more/followed up more with tables though as workers were focused on things on register/by the bar: maybe a training or update. The food was really good and flavorful too. The nachos were spot on and always love to see the queso and toppings layered on and not skimpy... didn't have alot of wasted chips but any that were lacking I added or dipped into the salsa which was phenomenal (I really loved the taste and texture) could fill up on it alone. The tacos were a hit with everyone in our group; priced around $4 each you can probably get 3 to fill up and have some fun with the different offerings. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Empanadas

    Place is alright. Nice spot Dt but food was just okay. By far the empanadas were my favorite.

    General tsao chicken taco

    The food just wasn't the best. The drinks were alright tho. The tacos just aren't good. The service is fine and the ambiance is nice. But the food just isn't the best... the tortilla was raw and needed to be grilled. But the server was very nice !

    Pickle Gimlet
    Lindsey K.

    I've been here a couple times now. The tacos are fantastic, a modern American twist of flavors. My favorite was the Nashville hot chicken taco. Their cocktails are also fantastic. You can go unique and get a pickle gimlet or stick with the classic margarita. Either way you won't be disappointed!

    Food was Mexican out of a box at best. Azulejo and El Rodeo are real Mexican places that serve drinks near St Joseph

    Rios Mexican Grill is one of those hidden gems you're so happy to stumble upon on a nice summer…read moreday. It's essentially a roadside taco stand, but don't let that fool you - the food is incredibly fresh and full of flavor. It feels very local and family-run, which adds to the charm. We visited last August during a family trip, and the fact that my mom, who usually avoids roadside food spots, was the one who recommended it says everything. We were honestly shocked (in the best way). Ordering is simple: you place your order, get a number, and wait for your food. There are benches available for seating, though no bathrooms, so it's good to plan accordingly. We ordered a variety of items - tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chips with salsa, and Jarritos, and were happy with everything. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything was well-prepared. I even enjoyed some leftovers the next day! If you're looking for delicious, no-frills Mexican food from a local spot, Rios Mexican Grill is definitely worth checking out.

    This review reflects the new location at 603 E Buffalo St. We were glad to see that they're new…read morelocation had seating. Well, we were not so impressed with the new location. You order at the counter or a kiosk, they hand you an in-house pager and when it flashes, you get your food....and for this they guilt you for a tip at the time of payment... On top of that, there is no fountain drinks, you fetch your own out of a cooler. I ordered a steak burrito and my wife ordered the taco bowl. Again, had to get your own utensils from the counter. After I took the foil off the burrito, it immediately began to un-wrap and fall apart into the foil...(for that I could have ordered the burrito bowl)....was very difficult to eat. The taco bowl was just ok. Bottom line, the food was far short of great....mediocre at best. Sorry, won't be coming back.
