    No so good Margarita
    Sloan M.

    The food is delicious, the service was good but slow yet understandable for the volume of people in the restaurant. The ambiance was lively as it was several people's birthday. I ordered a Margarita frozen and it tasted like frozen water so I ordered and extra shot of tequila and it helped. My girlfriend ordered a whisky sour and she said it was not good. If I go again I am going to only drink beer. Pam our waitress was so lovely and helpful when ordering, she made the experience worth while.

    Really enjoyed our meal here. The margaritas came with a cute little rubber duckie. Husband liked the salsa, said it had a nice kick. Service was quick and attentive

    Had such a great time at Rio 150 in Concord! The service was super fast, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was fun from start to finish. We couldn't resist trying the beer boot and the world's largest margarita both lived up to the hype! The food was packed with flavor and came out hot and fresh. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees was delicious. For two full meals and two big drinks, the price was more than fair great value for a great night out. I'll definitely be going back!

    Rio 150 is a very nice addition to the Concord Mills food scene. There have been other Mexican restaurants in this location but we enjoyed our food very much with the newest group. I think a few things like the hostesses could be improved on but to be fair, it was very busy when we got there and the small welcome lobby was packed and there was no hostess to be seen for a good 5 minutes. We also had a bit of a miscommunication at the bar which ended up costing us $40 for two drinks!!! However, the drinks were very good, but make sure you're very specific on what you want and what type of liquor you desire. Our waiter was awesome and it seemed like everyone was being taken care of efficiently. The venue itself is LARGE. Tables are packed in on one side and on the bar side, booths seem a bit more private. Once seated I did not feel like I didn't have enough room, so that was good. They also have a large outside patio. Rio is definitely worth trying out. We'll be back!!

    I highly recommend! I went for lunch and the service was friendly and attentive! I have visited the Mooresville location in which my experience here was very similar. The food was hot and fresh, I ordered the chicken fajita and elote, delicious! Ambiance nice and clean. Great experience!

    Amazing and super flavorful Mexican food! I ordered online for pickup and I'm glad I did. They place was packed with huge waits on a Saturday night. It looked like a fun place for parties though so I will definitely be back for dine in. I ordered the birria tacos, Al pastor taco and carnitas taco. They were all so flavorful and delicious. I loved that they were nice and full too. The order also came with chips and some salsas. One was a little too spicy and one was super bland, but mixed together they were great! Overall, the food was all amazing and I'm so glad to have this place so close to me!

    Went again for another birthday and we still enjoyed our meals! The chicken quesadillas are huge and very filling. I had the chicken nachos this time around and it was great! Service was fast and we were able to sit down immediately on a Friday night and inside was clean.

    I went here for my birthday on a Wednesday evening. It wasn't crowded however the service speed could have been a tad bit better . The drinks which is what they are known for were really tasty and strong lol . However, my food lacked seasoning. The environment is lively and definitely nice for a birthday celebration or night out .

    Last Friday I finally tried Rio 151. The restaurant was packed but the wait wasn't too long. The customer service is impeccable. Sadly, the food and drinks didn't live up to the hype. The food was mid- the presentation was good but the food lacked flavor and was not at all what I expected. My table ordered a dip and it was very runny and loose. Those big drinks are ful of juice. Out of three people neither of us felt a buzz after ordering purse size drinks individually. The environment was fun and lively but not a place that I would recommend.

    Rio is finally on concord! I've been going to their other location for years, but I'm happy. It's finally closer to Charlotte. The food and drinks are great. I have no complaints at all. Definitely should check it out if you haven't. The service was great !

    We came here for margaritas. I would strongly suggest splitting it! This place is good for families or a girls day. The food was ok, I got arroz con camerones. My ticket wasn't correct when the check came. Its located in the Concord Mills area right off the highway. Such a cool addition to the CLT area.

    Visited Rio 150 for lunch and really enjoyed the guacamole salad! It was very busy but the wait didn't take long at all. We sat right near the bar. Although, I didn't drink I watched countless big fancy drinks return the bar. It seemed like the focus was more on presentation than taste. It also looked like everyone was making drinks versus a couple designated bar tenders. I also tried the ACP which was decent. Experience didn't match the social media hype. Our server was very attentive and pleasant!

    I would say service was great and the ambiance was very nice in the restaurant. I have heard they have fun and tasteful house margaritas that can come in a purse container. The tacos I had were delicious and good quantity to fill me up!

    We walked in on a Sunday night around 6:00. We were the only ones in this hidden gem. Living so…read moreclose I'm so mad we haven't found this place before today. Quesabirria spring rolls - Holy smokes. Why is nobody else doing these?!? 10/10 Catrina Burrito - shrimp, steak, and chicken smothered in a mole/cheese sauce combo. The size of my fore arm. 10/10. Chicken chimichanga - loaded with chicken fried perfectly with a crispy crust. Smothered in cheese sauce. 10/10 They make everything fresh here so we missed out on the Quesabirria special but the owner heard us asking about it and brought out an order of the Quesabirria spring rolls and smoked BBQ egg rolls to try. Server was very warm and knowledgeable. I just hate that we were the only once's lucky enough to be enjoying this place tonight. This should be a destination spot for all of Charlotte-Salisbury. PS - inside decor was great and pays tribute to Kannapolis history. These guys rock and know exactly what they are doing.

    I really wanted to like this place. Very well drawn murals on the walls, decent service, cheap…read moretacos on Tuesdays, Good Mexican beers on draft and a not the run of the mill menu. Unfortunately, the food was bad. The chips and salsa were bland. The taco meat was dry and bland. The refried beans and rice were bland. The cheese enchiladas and tostadas were bland. Are you seeing a theme here? Maybe they think Gringos prefer bland food? I'm not sure but Mexican food can be a lot of things but it should never be bland. Oh well, at least I got to try practicing my Spanish!
