    This is the best Mexican food country. The chili Rojo is amazing. Mirna is fantastic. He will be very happy if you eat there. All of the food items are great and the service is very good.

    Burrito Supreme

    The best mexican food in town!! Authentic, clean, amazing staffs and the best burrito! We have been coming here since 1998.

    Al pastor burrito, chips/salsa

    Cute little neighborhood place in Reseda. Would definitely visit again, probably trying the tortas next time :) Pros: - lots of protein options as well as vegetarian, easy to read menu - for the most part easy parking, small lot but street plenty aplenty - flavorable meals - we got the al pastor and carnitas burrito, both were good, a little spicy/salty but it's based on personal preference - chips and salsa were DELICIOUS and fresh - not the cheapest as our burritos were around $12 but it is super filling, I saved a portion for lunch and was still full for dinner Cons: - cash only

    Bandaid in Torta Cubana
    Peaxchy M.

    I had submitted a great review from the first time I came here. The food and everything was good and I had a great view on this restaurant. I later on came here for my third time at night and sadly when I got home I found a bandaid wrapped in my torta. I decided to call in for manager and was told that they walk in whenever they want and have No specific time to service me. Very disappointed how this changed my view, it made me sick. I have decided to leave everything as is but please be aware of such situation. I hope your employees wear gloves... Thanks.

    The Asada in my Torta de carne asada looks like beef jerky. Disappointing.

    I don't recommend this place to anyone. Its a shame because I support small businesses but not when they try to rip you off. I've been here a handful of times and got something different to give it a chance. This time I got an asada torta. The piece of meat was the thinnest cut I've ever been served as "carne asada" it was thinner than a slice of bacon. Ridiculous. Didn't taste good at all either. I was curious as to how they have 4 stars... well by reading their 5 star reviews, it's obvious most of them are made up. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Asada and egg torta. Best breakfast sandwich!
    Vicky B.

    Love the number 1 with asada and love the cook, Pilar. Sweet lady and great food. 10/10!

    Huarache de carne asada.
    Lil L.

    Huarache was so delicious. Nice people and they went beyond service. Definitely recommend it.

    Nachos
    Kelly K.

    I am surprised that I've never reviewed Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. The food portions are pretty big for me, the meat has always been supper soft. I enjoy the tacos, sopes, nachos, and the agua frescas. They owner and the workers are attentive and friendly. They take a while to prepare your food but it's okay with me because it's cooked well and taste amazing

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window.

It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

One meal can easily be split between multiple people. My favorites are the green enchiladas and the spicy chipotle burrito, and the rice and beans are just as flavorful and delicious as the main entrees. Upon being seated, you are served a spicy and cheesy bean dip with fresh chips, and there is a salsa bar inside where you can fill up on your choice of salsas. I sat in the outside patio area in my most recent visit, and while the quality of the food didn't change, the service was not the greatest; my table and a couple of other tables had a difficult time flagging anyone down for refills, to go containers, or the bill. There's also a pretty big price difference between paying with card and paying with cash; multiple menu items were at least 3-4 dollars more if you plan to pay with card. Still, the food is good and if you're craving some hearty and comforting Mexican food, S&B is a good option.

The meat was fatty, no hominy, and about half of the bowl had meat. Served corn tortillas and with side of cilantro, onions, chile de arbol, lime, and oregano. Also ordered a combo of Chile Colorado with rice and beans. The beef was tender, tasty rice, but the beans tasted like from a can (not homemade), and 4 corn tortillas. 2 large drinks (size of cup were the almost the size of napkin holder - A+).
