    As someone who grew up in California eating my grandma's homemade Mexican food I was throughly…read moreimpressed by Rio Tomatlan. I had very low expectations coming in and was surprised by the flavor and quality of the food here. I orders a Paloma which was refreshing and made me miss summer. I also had a sope that was the perfect thickness and wasn't overwhelmed by toppings. The salsa tasted like a less spicy version of my grandma's recipe, still delicious and flavorful. The service was a bit slow just due to an event going on, and it is a bit pricy for Mexican food, but otherwise I highly recommend

    Río Tomatlán has a welcoming atmosphere, but unfortunately the overall experience didn't quite live…read moreup to my expectations. The highlight of the meal was definitely the queso fundido. It was rich, cheesy, and easily the best thing we ordered. My enchiladas were just okay. They had decent flavor, but they were simply piled on top of a bed of vegetables, which made the dish feel a bit thrown together rather than thoughtfully prepared. The biggest disappointment was the service. It took a long time for someone to check on us, and the meal felt much slower than it should have. The extended wait took away from the overall dining experience. I can see why people enjoy this restaurant, but based on my visit, I was expecting more. The queso fundido is definitely worth ordering, but I hope the service and food consistency improve because the restaurant has potential.

    My family came here when I was younger and to see Los Compadres so empty hurt my heart! The staff…read morehere are always so incredibly friendly and kind! We got 3 chicken tacos, 2 Jarritos, 2 beef tacos, and the California burrito! Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned/cooked. The decorations and overall vibe of the restaurant almost feels like you're eating in a market! It truly is a lovely restaurant to sit down with family and eat at. I would recommend them 10 times over!

    Their truck outside says they do "catering" on its side. But they actually only have a lunch truck…read more Not bad if that's what you're looking for. But catering, not to the letter. I was told they only do outdoors, with the truck. I need indoors for nursing home residents and staff (like trays of stuff for a buffet line or something). So unfortunately the truck doesn't really accommodate my needs. That's okay. Nobody can be everything to everybody, I get it. But I also ordered dinner, to go. I have a deep love for Mexican cuisine (more so authentic fast food and home cookin) that goes back as far as I can remember and I was eagerly anticipating THIS dinner. Now, I used to basically live on the California/Mexico border and ate in Mexico, in border towns and non-border towns. I've also cruised deep into Mexico. One of my mother's husbands was Mexican and so was one of mine. I've spent time in Mexican bush camps in southern Texas over a campfire cooking texmex with ranch hands, but I'm no foodie. I just have a little exposure and experience in this genre. So that really compels me to say that my dinner was less than impressive. Service was good for sure. The carnitas chimichanga I ordered was pure meat. On the side was some sour cream, guacamole (not enough of either) and plenty of shredded lettace underneath the condiments. The chips were good, but could've been warmer with more salt and salsa. I have to say that the food at this restaurant, while 'stylized' as Mexican, isn't really what you'd expect as Mexican (only marginally adjacent, I'm afraid). I truly didn't expect it to be authentic this far away from Mexico, but it really missed the mark. I saw tortillas, I saw stylized proteins and even salsa. I just didn't FEEEELLLL Mexico when I ate the food. The carnitas tasted like boiled shredded pork, I'm sorry to say. No spice, no heart, nothing Mexico about it.
