Very good food, drinks, service and atmosphere!! I recommend trying this restaurant. We go pretty often. Margaritas are awesome!!! I usually get chicken chipotle tacos. Ask for the green sauce! read more

I can't say enough good things about how great our experience was last week at this Rio Mambo. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent, and the manager, Juan ensured everything was perfect. We will definitely be going back!! read more

Too loud but the food is just delicious! Large portions, conservative prices. Hadn't been in years and will for sure be going back the next Mexican food night. read more

We had a wonderful event at Rio Mambo tonight! The food was great, the service was fantastic, and they were extremely helpful with everything that we needed! Thank you for a great evening! read more

I can not speak more highly if this Mexican food place. It may not be "authentic " but it was the best I have had ever! I had the shrimp zana cocktail for an appetizer and it was great. The Rosa platter with a seasoned shrimp was the bomb! The server, Tyler, was extremely helpful with my wife's celiac disease menu. This was a 100% thumbs up experience! read more

Amazing service and great customer service. Food comes quick and always correctly. Managers always comes by and checks if everything is okay. Greatly appreciate everyone here and by far the best restaurant to eat that! read more

I decided to try this place tonight. I ordered the half and half (chicken and beef) fajitas. The food was pretty good. My only complaint is that the flour tortillas are not homemade. They tasted like something bought from the grocery store. This may be a deal breaker for some. Overall, I'd eat here again but try a different dish. read more

FTW margarita and fajita chicken nachos with fresh jalapeños . SPOT ON!!! Good service. They meet my high-maintenance needs and the ambience great! read more

Rio Mambo - You can't go wrong with Thirsty Thurs! Add a floater of Grand Marnier got 100% deliciousness. Goes great with the free chips & dip! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Overall, this location was just fine. I'm not positive Which items are made in house versus prepackaged. The regular chips and salsa were flavorful, however I was personally not a fan of the chips that accompanied the queso. If you like spicy, I highly recommend the spicy queso. Tuesday's promote all day happy hour for certain cocktails. The house margarita on the rocks is a delicious deal for Tuesday night! My date and I both got the Megan plate, which had your choice of three enchiladas, tacos, tamales, Chalupa's (or any combination). My favorite were the pork tamales, followed by the brisket tacos. Absolutely recommend the mixed veggies as a side dish! Great variety and cooked just al dente. Our table of two enjoyed for margaritas, a bowl of case so, and two dinner plates for a total of $54. Service was great, prompt, and friendly. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food. I went on cinco de mayo and the waiting area seemed really packed but I was seated 20 min later, which is fast for a holiday. The service was extremely fast, ordered the nachos with beef and beef tacos arrived no later than 15min. I also had their mango margarita that was so delicious. The ambiance is great for a family dinner or to grab drinks with friends. read more

I ordered food online at 7:04 pm with an expected turn around time for my order at 7:24 pm. I arrived at the restaurant right on time. I park and call the number listed on the sign for the parking number and I get an automated message saying if you have reached this message we are assisting other customers please send us a text. I send a text with my order number and the parking spot number. After 15 minutes of waiting I get out to see if the other cars that are waiting have been helped and they were. Another 15 minutes goes by and I don't see anyone. So I walk inside and tell the hostess that I have been waiting for 30 minutes. She walks me around to where curbside orders are and asks if they have an order for me and lo and behold the food is just sitting there while the 2 girls are just on their phones and talking. I have been here before and have received faster service sitting at the bar! I was taken aback by how the employees just didn't seem to care about my order and the fact that I was waiting 30 minutes with my son. Something seems off with their online ordering system because there isn't any way that I had to wait 30 minutes when I can see other curbside customers getting their food! read more

Went with a party of 16. Ordered the Tilapia Veracruz. It's described with fresh sautéed vegetables. Instead of that it came with black beans and coleslaw. In addition the tilapia was on a bed of rice, which was not part of the description. If they are not going to serve it as described they should let you know. I used to like Rio Mambo, but not so sure now. read more

Food was great I would comeback again first time coming back service and atmosphere was great james was the best server we ever had over all 10/10 read more

muy buena experiencia una comida con mi familia el servicio muy especial buena recomendación por parte de Javier el mesero regresamos pronto nuestro lugar favorito y preferido read more

Loved the food drinks and service. After long days at work it was just the place to sit and enjoy food and beverages with friends And family. read more

This is my place. My Cheers. Everyone knows you. Luis is the best manager. He cares for his employees and he loves his customers. He makes it a point to visit with everyone. Linda, Alejandra and Brandom are the best servers. The Iguana is the best swirl in town. only takes one. But take one to go! Its just the best place... read more

Had a great experience with great food and service. Management was hands on and made us feel welcome- will be back!

I used to order here all the time, but the quality has really gone downhill. Food is too salty and greasy now.

I am a regular customer and visit two or three times per week. The food is really good, and the service is excellent. I usually have Ramiro Rangel as my waiter, and I can't say enough about his service. Ramiro is always very attentive to my needs and makes sure my tea glass is always full. If you are looking for good Mexican food and service, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food her is amazing Chris the bartender makes the drinks and knows how to take care of his customers. Only issue is when he's working it's hard to get a seat at the bar. Great environment. read more

Will not go back. I have been going here for many, many years (ex-favorite) but will not spend my money here anymore. Poor customer service when addressing a coupon they have sent me for years and I have used every year with no problems. Buy one get one and they changed it to bogo 1/2 off (not what the coupon said and not in small print). Beef fajitas were always solid; however now they have a scorched/ metallic taste the majority of the time and not as tender/ chewy (used to be the most tender) and hoped that quality would return, but it has continued to deteriorate. We have learned how to easily do this at home, much better/tender meat at much less cost and I deal with better people at home. Hot sauce can be replicated. Now I have no need to go back. Food is not worth the increased inflation price, quality appears to have changed. Waitstaff is working and cordial. We tip in cash and we tipped well here ( 50% of total before coupon) she even offered it back after a floor manager refused to honor the coupon ( wait changed it in person to bogo 1/2 off) with the plates we order every visit. We order this plate multiple times a year and we pay the full, over priced, cost with the over priced teas, where refills are treated like gold. We are not cheap; drank a lot of mango rita's in my day also and we always brought (no more) everyone here for any, and all, occasions, or just for fun. I hope that $17.00 was worth it. In this day and age I would think a regular customer that supported you for years and through Covid would have been treated better. In summary, low quality food, supply chain issues, staffing issues over worked staff and disrespectful (argued with me and blamed it on a floor manager that was not manager to come talk to us). Emailed owners, no response. He does not care. Integrity is obviously not important, or keeping the food quality up. Much better Tex-mex in Fort Worth. Try somewhere else. read more

Great service, great margaritas and great fajitas! Especially love the ribeye fajitas

The pickup process was pretty easy, I appreciate the separate parking and the attendants to get everything ready. I got a takeout order of spinach enchiladas and they left so much to be desired. The portion was two small enchiladas; I always expect cheese in enchiladas and this recipe is just cooked spinach inside, and the spinach is minimally seasoned if at all. The enchilada sauce on top was okay, but there was almost no cheese on top. The rice was on the verge of being dry and not very flavorful. The refried beans and free chips were the best part. Would not order again. read more

Great Service and the food was excellent!! Staff is always smiling and willing to help even if they are not your server!! Great atmosphere, definitely going back!! read more

Beef fajitas very salty and course. Minimum amounts for toppings. Rice and beans were bland. It was loud inside. Families seemed to like it here but high price for food doesn't match the quality of food. read more

We used to come 2 dozen times a year. Started at the 121 location then moved to west Fort Worth. Always recommended for restaurant request. NO MORE! Their birthday coupons are fantastic, and we always got the Plato Campeon. Buy any entree, get another equal or lesser value. We spend big, and we always tip around 40%! Every time. The pin head manager didn't want to (refused to) honor the coupon. Said if I ordered the Plato I could have a smaller plate free. I says, I've been coMing to Mambo for 18 years. Never had a issue. I also had my wedding reception at the Mambo on 121. It was customer service at its POOREST. BY THE MANAGER!! Even worse. I would suggest that Rio Mambo correct your BOGO birthday coupons to reflect the Plato can't be used. Too late for me and my family and everyone I know. Customer service 101: customer is always right. The salsa is awesome but I easily replicated it. The beef fajitas COULD NOT BE BEAT, but they have clearly changed distributors. Chewy. Some pieces inedible. Sometimes they have shanks for the plato, sometimes they just put back ribs instead. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME. They also don't make you aware of it. FYI Rio Mambo, that manager is going to torch the long term clientele. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK read more

The margaritas were decent, and the food price effective. What truly sold me on Rio Mambo was our wait staff, particularly Elly. We never found ourselves thirsty or hungry, and me and my family were charmed throughout. Great experience at Rio tonight, and we will definitely be coming back! read more

I was not served the Meal that I ordered. When I brought it to my serve'a attention the manager told me I could wait and have the meal that I ordered which was chicken with spinach or just have a side dish of spinach. I ordered a different entree which took an additional 15 minutes by which time my friends had finished their meals. I was not compted my meal or given any compensation. Poor PR in my opinion. read more

We pick up Togo orders from here all the time and Lou has helped us almost EVERYTIME!! He is literally amazing, quick service, funny as heck, and super friendly! I highlyyyyy recommend eating here if you haven't! My husband always gets the chicken fajitas and I always get the spinach chicken enchiladas and it's alllwayssss amazing! read more

Rio Mambo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Food was just okay for the most part. Tacos a la Parilla was very good and the green sauce that came with it is incredible. Guacamole and salsa were good. Service was nice and attentive and they continuously checked on if you needed anything. Price is about average for what you get. I don't think I would go back but would say that most people would find it enjoyable and nicely priced for the portion size. read more

Okay near where I was staying and it was close to Cinco de Mayo -- wait staff was friendly , price was average to a little above average - I got the steak quesadilla for $14 - seemed to be a little high - anyway it was okay - it was a quesadilla so kinda hard to mess that up - I like red sauce I thought it was good Overall I thought the place was average which means if you are close to it go and partake - however I wouldn't travel any distance to go eat there - just my opinion. read more

I think it's about time to update some reviews from 3-4 years ago. Previous review stated how I loved this place. Today, not so much. It's rare that I come here now. When I do, it's a hit or miss. Sometimes consistent, sometimes isn't. I do like the interior update. I eat here when I don't want to go far from home. I am sick of this area, so I may not be the best critic of restaurants around here anymore. However, compared to this location, the Burleson location is much better. I've always liked the Ken's plate or Rosie's shrimp. Who wants to pay $19 for 6 shrimp though? The chili relleno used to be a fav of mine, but sour cream sauce hurts my stomach and the queso isn't too good anymore. Service is always good though. read more

I love Rio Mambo. They have a great menu and awesome happy hour appetizers. I love their brisket tacos, you won't be disappointed! I recommend this restaurant! read more

This was a fantastic Tex-Mex restaurant with a great atmosphere. We were passing through town and had fantastic chicken fajitas that we're out of this world. Our server Jose, recommended boleo that was also delicious. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

This place has gone so downhill the last few years. The staff walks around like they don't want to be there and the food isn't the quality it used to be. And once a busy, likable place is always a ghost town now. Bummed. read more

Very cool vibe In here!! The service was good and it was a little loud but what really stands out was how fast food and drinks came out to the table! Right after me and my boyfriend ordered the fajitas for 2 they came out hot probably 7 minutes later when the restaurant was fully packed. Drinks also came out fast too. Both the fajitas and the jalapeño marg were super good! I've never had a fajita with on it too potatoes but it was pretty good! read more

I was disgusted during my last visit to Rio Mambo, not by the food, but by the lack of sanitation for covid. Diners came in with no mask on, and the manager welcomed them and didn't say a word. None of the servers wear gloves. The main walkway is surrounded by tables of diners, so no social distancing. When asked if we could sit by the window where there were less people, we were told there was not a server for that area. There were large groups eating together, even though that is against the city mandate. There is a hand-held device at check-out to take your credit card, and 4 people at the table checked out before us, each touching the screen with their finger to sign, and then the waitress brought it right over to me. I asked her if she cleaned it, and she said, "its done periodically". Ick! Obviously not taking the pandemic or cleaning protocols seriously, so I won't be back. Owners are more concerned with making money than the safety of their diners, so I will not support or recommend. read more

I was here for dinner on Halloween night. The restaurant is very large and open, with a clear glass room divider in the main dining area. Dangley icicle christmas lights brightened up the room. Salsa here is GOOD, fresh and a bit chunky. Nice heat to it! The chips were thin, just the way I like them, and the queso matched them nicely. I ordered the Tacos a la Parilla (Grilled Tacos)- 1 of each kind of meat variety offered. The brisket option was probably my favorite, with the chicken option being my least. These reminded me of Desperado tacos (on Greenville south of Lovers lane in Dallas). A tasty dinner! I loved the fresh avocado that accompanied it. Since it was Halloween there were some odd patrons filing in the restaurant, costume on- including mask! A little creepy, but to no fault of the restaurant. They also had a basket of candy at the host stand, so I snagged a ring pop for dessert! Trick or treating complete! read more

Rio Mambo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This restaurant has the best food! I especially love their seafood quesadillas, they are to die for! Everyone is super friendly and Robert the manager is awesome. They do free appetizers (certain ones) during the week for happy hour so be sure to check that out. Who doesn't love free food?! They also do fun things for special events happening like Cinco De Mayo, or sport events. They just dress the place up a little more so it's pretty fun. We had my finance's graduation party from college here a few years back and had the whole back of the restaurant just for us. I was able to set up the table centerpieces how I wanted and decorate with different stuff. We brought in a dj and they even made us a special menu for our guests. It was a great time! We even plan to have them cater our wedding this October. You cannot go wrong with this place! read more
