We went for lunch and were seated quickly. I had a frozen strawberry margarita and we split chicken mole enchiladas and chicken taquitos. The mole was satisfying and peanut butter forward and the taquitos were crispy. This isn't necessarily gourmet food - but it is hearty and satisfying and there is a place for that! The booths were spacious - the only issue with ambience were other guests - a loud family that all seemed to have a cold. Not the restaurants fault! Next time we will sit in the bar.

Anyway, I came in around noon on Sunday, so basically brunch time, and ordered the French Toast with Macrina cinnamon swirl brioche, vanilla bean, and real maple syrup. I also added a side of two eggs, which I believe I got over medium. I walked around for a bit while waiting for my order, and when I went to pick it up, one of the guys working there repeatedly asked if everything was all right. I'm not entirely sure what prompted that, but the interaction felt a little awkward. I ate inside at my own table. The French toast itself was good, but definitely too sweet for me. I used maybe three-quarters of the maple syrup they provided, which admittedly didn't help my cause, but even apart from that, the cinnamon-swirl brioche was already quite sweet. If you're ordering it, I'd recommend going easy on the syrup at first and adding more as needed. Overall, decent post-race brunch and the French toast tasted good, but between the sweetness and the slightly awkward experience, I'd give it 3/5. 3/5 stars Last visited: August 30, 2026

I had Rio Bravo cater my office lunch meeting today and it was a huge hit! We had tacos for 8 people...and I could not believe how generous the servings were! They supplied us with 3 kinds of meat, beans, rice, tortillas, cilantro, limes, 2 types of sauteed onions, chips and 3 types of salsa! The food was hot, fresh and delicious...everyone had seconds! Super easy to set up, serve and clean up. Bravo!!!! read more

Ok YUM. I ordered the sopes and couldn't decide on the meat(chorizo, al pastor or carne asada). The service was super awesome and they gave me one of each. The al pastor and chorizo were my favorite, all were great. Nice portions and the horchata was amazing. The green salsa was the winner over the red, used 4 total because I am a salsa freak. Definitely would go back. read more

The tacos were bought individually ($4 each) we got Pollo, Carnitas, Adobado & Asada. The only negative was the pollo (chicken) as it had no flavor. Both dishes were served with cabbage instead of lettuce which was different but not negative. The gentlemen in the truck were willing to change out anything and very helpful.
