Love their mushroom quesadillas! The order is HUGE!! I could only eat 4 pieces, but it comes with 8!! They are super salty which is no issue for me, but I could definitely taste saltiness. I also enjoy their fresh salsa and margaritas. They have a good selection of margaritas to choose from. One of my favorites is their jalapeño. If you can't choose you can get a margarita flight! When in there mood for a chain food restaurant, come to rio mambo! read more

The food was good. The service was good. It just wasn't a place that stood out to me. It's almost the same sort of Tex-Mex options you can find at a majority of the restaurants around DFW. 3 of 5 become it was just average in my mind. read more

Thank god the service was ok, cause the food needs some help! Cold queso , thick like out of a jar with NO taste what so ever ....... Enchiladas were not good, tasteless, think frozen dinner! Won't be seeking it out again! Plus the A/C is out ..... overpriced for what it is, might as well go to Rosas or Taco Bueno! read more

So, for starters, the house margarita is garbage. Just saying. Spend the extra and get a good one. Actually spend the extra and get a horned frog! It won't disappoint!! Anyways, they messed up my food, but honestly the food I got was amazing, so it really didn't bother me. Get the queso Blanco read more

This was really good! We have been in Colleyville fir about 18 months but have checked out allot of places ... missed this because there is allot of Mexican places. That said this was really good. Great atmosphere with a great patio , the guac was fantastic! Get the Martinez Martini too awesome drink. Then the enchiladas were really good and my wife had the three choice Fajitas ... the pork shank was off the charts. read more

I'll start by saying I'm a very picky eater so when I do go out to eat my expectations are high. Came here for brunch I got the Chorizo con Huevos I love chorizo but this didn't have any flavor to me. I added salt and pepper but still couldn't get it to taste good very bland. The potatoes were ok nothing spectacular my Wife makes better breakfast potatoes at home. The ambiance and catching up with my friends was the only reason why I gave it a 4 star. read more

This place seems to have some good specials for almost every day of the week but I came on a Saturday and could not experience them. Typical Tex-Mex place with decent food and decent prices. I ordered the Beef/Chicken fajitas and they were nice. Nothing to write home about. This place does have some great hot salsa. read more

Rio Mambo - 44 Oz drink made for two. Some call it "Call me a cab" but the menu name is Iguana Margarita - Latin American Near Me - Colleyville, Texas

We had the best meal from here the other night. I ordered the cheese and onion enchilada dinner with rice and beans and it was honestly so delicious. The enchiladas are super flavorful with tons of cheese and sauce. The rice is seasoned perfectly and is super fluffy and just salty enough. The refried beans are rich and velvety and best served piping hot. I don't typically finish my meals at restaurants (I always take home leftovers), but this time I ate everything! The chips and salsa is always really good as well.. we like the spicy queso. That stuff is addictive, I can't stop eating it once I start. Decent prices. Nice bar to cozy up to. Consistently good, flavorful food. I don't know why I'm not here more often. read more

The food and prices were good. The ambiance was great loved the music!! Outdoor seating was great. The chicken flautas were perfect! Rice was ok, beans were gross. The beef in the tacos al carbon was too soggy, will not order their beef again. read more

First, the food is excellent, tasty, and less salty than most Tex Mex. THE BEST PART was the (biggest) party we have gotten together (with 15 vaccinated friends) in over a year. Laura was very nice, offered us a 3 choice menu, and gave us attention like we were arranging for 100 guests. She wasn't working on party day, but her replacement Nancy knew about our resv and she arranged it flawlessly while still maintaining social distance. We had a great time. So good to see some of those people and gorge on wonderful TexMex. Thanks Mambo! read more

This spot is the BEST hands down! From the drinks to the food, to the great sweet waiters, to the atmosphere EVERYTHING is GREAT!! This is me and my girls hangout Friday night spot and we LOVE it!!! Our favorite waiter is Alberto and we do miss the old manager Marcia she held the place up very well, but it is now under new management and he does a great job as well. My favorite is the Attitude Adjustment with 2 chicken enchiladas YUM YUM YUM!!! And if 1 attitude adjustment isn't enough you can order a flight of them (4) and get your attitude adjusted lol LOVE YOU RIO and if you haven't visited....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR..GO ON!! read more

2/12/24 We ate (food was excellent) and then got our check. I paid thru an app that I use (InKind) and they accept this. I had a credit and paid the bill. We got up and left and the (I assume) the manager ran up to my husband when he was getting in our truck. I had just shut the door on the passenger sign and I had no idea what was going on. My husband looked and said that the manager said we didn't pay. I told her I paid thru the InKind app but she insisted LOUDLY (right in front of the restaurant) that it didn't go thru and she needed it to be paid. My husband asked what was going on? Did I pay? I pulled up my app and pulled up the receipt and showed her. She continued to act like we were trying to "dine and dash". Anyway, we finally figured out that $9.04 wasn't paid. I have no idea why but if we owe it, that's fine. I asked her why she said the full amount didn't go thru and she grabbed my husband's card and went in. She sent the server back out with the card and receipt and he signed it. He asked why we didn't tip and I said I did. It was 22% and it was on my receipt. We were humiliated. We would never skip a check. I don't mind her coming out but she didn't have to act like we were criminals! You won't get our business ever again! This was on 1/29/24 Excellent food and service! No complaints. The restaurant does need some updating. It's just not attractive. That won't stop me from going back! read more

We really like the happy hour time! Good choices if quesadillas nachos drinks. Jose at the bar is great. Staff keeps you supplied with chips, salsa, and quest. We (2) can have two drinks each, nachos and quesadilla for less than 15 plus tip read more

I've been here twice and the food has been excellent. The chips and salsa is probably one of the best I've had as it taste fresh and has a nice spicy kick.

Reservation made for group of 16 - all paying separately for holiday brunch. Servings were good, though some felt potatoes were undercooked. Service was fine until we each got our checks. An $11.50 breakfast taco plate with water and tax was $21.48. Those who got a drink paid over $24. We were told that we were upcharged for bacon over sausage (though not differentiated on item on menu), and charged for cheese, onions, and peppers. We were asked if we wanted it when ordering, but all assumed it was included when the waiter asked. It was tacos after all! Lastly, the waiter made bank as we each tipped him and had not been told gratuity was already included. While we enjoyed our visit and good food, many comments were made how we felt taken advantage of once the checks were provided. read more

I love good Mexican food, tasty margaritas, and at least common sense in service. I found none of those at Rio Mambo in Colleyville. Food was terrible, drinks passable, and service ... so bad I thought we were being punked. Now add a swarm of flies all over our food, drinks, and us. I was swatting non stop and flies were camping on the rim of my glass and just relentless. Not just one hear and there, but a swarm so heavy I was waiting for 3 AM Feed the Children commercial to feature us for sponsorship. I told the manager, and she said, " Yeah. that's part of sitting on a patio." Seriously. No offer to move us, not even a paper fan or flyswatter thrown our way. I looked around and no other patio tables were being savaged by renegade flies. Yes, we showered beforehand. No, I don't wear perfume. The good news is that the flies made us forget how impressively rude the hostess was, and how useless our server was. Unfortunately the taste and smell of bad fish tacos was not erased for a good long time. We were sick for days after that dreadful meal. Even the Queso was bad. Anyone have the contact info for the health inspector? That place is due a visit. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!' read more

Haven't written any reviews in a long time but this restaurant deserves one. Visited them today for a late lunch. Great food and great service. Big shout out for Yasmine! She was our server and did an excellent job! Looking forward to going back and asking for her! read more

Great service. Great food. I particularly liked the frozen margaritas and the chicken smothered with onions and mushrooms. Delicious!!

Amazing service today! The server Jonathan made our experience the best, everything he suggested was delicious and can't wait to come back. He even catered to my young kids. My 8 year old was high giving him and having a soccer conversation. The best of the best read more

I feel like I'm missing something, I don't get what all the fuss is about. However, I ordered delivery through UberEats while at work, and I did read through some of the reviews, so I think this place really brings it on atmosphere and drinks and I just didn't get to see that. The menu was appealing. I liked the idea of their brunch, and both the brunch and lunch menus are fairly reasonable. The lunch menu is a range that goes a little high, but normal for the area. The all day menu includes quite a few options that are expensive though. For those of you who love your veggies, I noticed they allow you to substitute sautéed veggies instead of rice and beans for a $2 upcharge. I couldn't decide between the appetizer platter and one of the combos. Those are my go to's when I try a new Tex-Mex place, because I like to sample items and decide if I want to come back. I ended up going with the Uno Dos Tres which gives you a choice of three items from enchiladas, tacos, chalpua and tamale. I decided to go with the beef enchilada with queso sauce, a brisket taco and a beef chalpua. FYI on the chalupa, you never know what you are getting from different Tex Mex places, but their chalupa is a tostada. The food arrived with a bag of chips and salsa. The salsa was good- spicy, chunky and clearly made in house. The chips were unfortunately stale and not really enjoyable. They packaged the food well but when I unwrapped it, I was really unclear on why the food is so popular. The taco was limp, bland and the corn tortilla was greasy. I wouldn't go with a taco, or the brisket in general, on any future visits. The chalupa and beans were both okay, not especially tasty but fine. I prefer my tostadas crunchier and the lettuce tasted a little weird, but overall it fulfilled most expectations. The enchilada was a lot smaller than I expected and it somehow exploded open during delivery. No big deal since enchiladas are eaten with a fork anyway. This beef was better than what was on my chalupa, the queso sauce was nice and spicy, and the tortilla was decent. I would order this again, maybe try all three enchilada options on a meal. I thought the rice was really good as well, nice seasoning there. Overall, $9.34 isn't too bad for lunch, I was just disappointed with the small portion size and was really expecting more in terms of food quality from the other reviews. It's possible I just ordered the wrong thing or caught them on an off day. Maybe it's one of those instances when you've been meaning to try a popular place and your expectations are too high when you finally do. I'm certainly willing to try something else and maybe they'll wow me then. For now, it's pretty average with some lows, but a couple of nice high points. read more

I went to the Colleyville location service was not great, The waitress couldn't tell me if the queso blanco was any good she just shrugged her shoulders. I asked her what came with the salmon she said idk and pulled up some pictures on her tablet, I said I want salmon with some veggies she brought out salmon rice that was mixed with mayo yuk! and coleslaw. That's not what I asked for. The staff needs to learn to upsale and definitely needs to know what is on the menu not just show a picture. Not impressed with the food my coke was flat. read more

Great dinner tonight at Rio Mambo!! Had dinner with my GF and the dog on the patio. They have a margarita flight!! Who knew?!? So the food was delicious... And more importantly they took care of my girl friends food allergy which is always top of mind. The manager was extremely attentive and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. Great service, drinks and food! We will definitely be back!!! read more

I can't say enough about the quick response from the Corporate Office. My last experience I posted a review of my experience and the Corp Office followed up with an email about my experience. They were quick to let me know that the issue had been addressed with the restaurant mgmt and invited me back. Ladt night I ordered the same dish and it was delivered without a problem. The server was very friendly and efficient. The mgr Laura was very helpful and friendly. Rio Mambos is one of my favorites in the area. I encourage you to try the restaurant if you have not done so. read more

We chose to go on Cinco del Mayo and was it packed. Usually, you end up with so so service when a restaurant is that busy, but not us. We got a waiter by the name of Eric; it was his first night there and he was on top of it. The poor guy had a table of 3, then 3 more of us joined the table then another and then 1 left but he stayed on top of us the entire time. I have to say for his first night there I give him 5 stars. Way to go Eric. Now the food, again a busy night but the food was awesome, no complaints from me and I will complain if I don't like the food. It was fresh and hot. I will be back. read more

Rio Mambo - Latin American Near Me - Colleyville, Texas

When the mood struck to try something new the other night, we thought of Rio Mambo since we are always driving past it. I was weary when I saw how empty their parking lot was at a prime dinner hour, especially seeing as their neighbor La Hacienda (a fellow Tex Mex restaurant) was packed. We found the inside layout confusing. The bar area was tucked away and advertised as 'Club W'. Does this turn into a salsa club at night perhaps? That could explain why the tables were weirdly positioned along the walls with plenty of main floor real estate left unoccupied which could have easily accommodated more seats. Chips and salsa came out quickly, but sadly were nothing to write home about. The normal salsa was watered down and lacking in flavor. The other was heavy on cilantro and had so much heat in it that all you could taste was fire. My husband ordered the beef fajitas as his meal, and said the beef was the most tender and flavorful he's had in a very long time. Their flour tortillas are pretty good too. I was craving a salad so I got the Ensalada Mazatlan which has both iceberg and romaine, grilled chicken, queso fresco, diced avocado, strawberries, blueberries, applewood smoked bacon, and a house made cilantro honey dressing. This salad had the potential to be great, but mine needed some improvements. I have a sensitivity to plastic and can taste if something has been sitting in it for 5 minutes or hours. Their lettuce certainly had because that's the only flavor I got when I took a bite. Some of the blueberries still had their stems in them, and there was only a tablespoon of queso fresco on the entire salad. The dressing was dry and almost unnoticeable as well. I think a balsamic instead would have been nice. I appreciate their lengthy menu, but overall felt the prices didn't match the quality of food we were given with the exception of my husband's fajitas. read more

Every single table was a set of girlfriends conversing! I found it odd, until I looked at the menu and discovered that Mon-Fri happy hour is from 2p-7p and the delicious house mard is 4.99. Lightbulb moment! I had one marg and felt loverly....so I can't imagine what kind of damage I could do in a 5 hour timespan! I ordered the Chicken Chimi and my gf had enchiladas and she was in heaven! Our server was a sweetie pie and I liked the atmosphere, besides the fact that I could smell the smoking from the bar and their dessert selection lacks anything chocolate (blasphemy) I will def go back. We decided to go across to chili's for a brownie sundae for dessert so it was ok...that little pocket has tons of things to chose from if you want a different kind of dessert so it's ok. read more

Stopped in for brunch today with my friends and we split two Mambo King platters (fresh fruit, breakfast item of your choice, beans, and a little potato hash). - Chips and salsa - Good. They bring both red and green salsas. The salsa verde was outstanding. - Chilaquiles - Very good. I would definitely order this again. Chilaquiles are uncommon in Indiana and I was super excited to get some in Texas. They didn't disappoint. - Beans - Meh. - Potatoes - Good, not great, but good. - Sopapillas - Also good. Consistency was on point. Overall I'd definitely come back. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. read more
