I ordered the Mexican Torta (meat served with cheese, tomatoes, onions, avocados, jalapeño peppers, and a side of French fries). This sandwich was better than I expected it to be. I did think it was pricey but after being able to legitimately eat on this sandwich on 3 times. I think it was well worth it. read more

The food was awful !!!! The meat was really fatty and really greasy. I would never eat there again. Maybe it was just what I ordered but I'm not going to try it again. There is lots of good Mexican restaurants in Alexandria that are good. read more

Stopped in for lunch with coworkers on a Thursday afternoon. We were seated right away and service was quick. Delicious food and best chips/queso I've had in years. read more

The food was great and the restaurant was very clean. The order always comes out right. The enchiladas & burritos are excellent!

The food was subpar and over priced for what they serve you.. it's not by any means hot nor fresh

Best Chicken Quesadilla in town. Quick and polite service. Good chips and salsa. Mexican decor.

Did not get dinner, was told that the cook staff was too busy and didn't have time to make the requested item!

The restaurant is a small setting indoors with a ton of booths for sitting. You are greeted upon enter and brought to a table. Warm Chips and salsa is placed on the table after sitting. The menu is rather large with many options to include vegetarian and pescatarian options. The overall service was okay. English is not the primary language of the staff but the food came out correct. read more

This is a smaller place but the food was really good! Price was comparable to any other Mexican restaurant. I would go back again.

A little corner restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but very good! Quiet, clean, and neat on the inside. The food was great! read more

This is our second time ordering take out, the food was delish. We will definitely be back!

My first impression was the place is clean, service was a little slow but waitress was very nice. Waited 30 mins for our food to come out and the kitchen messed up my husband's order so by the time I was done he finally got his plate. I HATE writing negative reviews but the food was the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The food looks nothing like the menu pictures. The cheese sauce was so watered down it made my tacos to sloppy to hold to eat and there was hardly anything on my tacos but watery cheese. My rice and beans were cold, bland, and stale (rice) read more

I asked for a enchilada and got a kick ball yet im still satisfied loved it the kick ball was super fun to play with and throw at employees

This little place has become a regular. The food is mostly consistent and the drinks are good. The mango marg is great! It does tend to get packed and there are always big groups, but they're quick and we have never had to wait longer than about five minutes. read more

Authentic Mexican! Food is always fresh. One of the best in Alexandria. Favorite: Homemade hot tamales.

Hands down the best Mexican food in Alexandria, La. Service is pretty good and the inside is basic but serves its purpose. The only thing that is a pro/con is sometimes the guacamole is different every time you good aka flavor. read more

This place is great! I'm from Miami and I'm here in Alexandria visiting family. The service was top notch and the food was warm and flavorful. The restaurant is very clean and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Parradilla Mexicana fajitas. Large portions and not very spicy. My dinner companion had the chicken quesadilla. She loved it. It appears to be family run. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves Mexican food. read more

The food was SO AWESOME! There were five of us at the table. Two ate all their food and three brought it home. It took us over two hours to get there. The only thing that lacked was the service. While they got the order correct for everyone, they only checked up on us when they brought the food out. We didn't see our server ever again. read more

Great menu and very delicious food. The salsa is not hot but very tasty. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. Overall, I will be back. read more

Today is our first time here and wont be our last. The restaurant is clean with friendly service. The salsa is thick with a little kick to it. The Mexican guacamole is really a treat. The cheese sauce has a good cheese flavor and thick because it isnt watered down like other eateries in the area. read more

My partner and I were just passing by from out of town. Decided to stop for some authentic Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was nice and clean, customer service was AMAZING, food was DELICIOUS. We got the Spicy Chicken Chimichanga and Chicken Fajita Nachos, the chicken was seasoned to perfection, juicy and tender! 1000/10 do recommend! Loved the whole experience and would return to Alexandria just for Rio Rojo! read more

This food is good and authentic. You can taste the manteca in the beans. Will be a new spot for my family!

I personally enjoy coming to Rio Rojo Authentic Mexican. I like their Rio Rojo tacos. I have enjoyed them with the pulled chicken, chorizo, carne asada. Loved all of those meats except for the carnitas it's a bit dry and I'm not a massive fan of pork anyways. Lastly, I always have great service. The waitress are always so kind and accommodating. read more

Decent Mexican cuisine at a good price. Located in a small strip mall so parking was good

Definitely the best Mexican in Alexandria. Hands down. Had the fajitas - incredible flavor and actually marinated and tender meat. The burritos are also great. Highly recommended to anyone in town. read more

I have pretty high standards for Mexican cuisine, but this place exceeded all my expectations. Super friendly staff, excellent food, and casual environment. This is a real win! read more

Service is great! But the food is so-so. Best thing they could do would be to imitate Caros recipes. (the restaurant on metro drive)

Friendly service. Drinks were good. Food was not very good. Salsa literally had no flavor very hard to explain but tasteless.

The Fajita Quesadilla was absolutely delicious! I got it delivered for lunch through Waitr and was full for the rest of the day! https://waitrapp.com/restaurants/21354 read more

Dropped in Rio today while visiting our daughter and some friends- they said- just cannot best this place for Mexican- this to an ole codger from Fort Worth Texas what're they make REAL MEXICAN GRUB The reception was very friendly- the place was so clean - you had to notice I followed my friends and ordered street tacos- one tamale and beans and rice- my wife got the taco salad Of course while you wait for the real food- the real deal of MEXICAN is the salsa and chips and guacamole!! Well- gotta say- salsa was exceptional- chips were made in house - very crunchy- actually awesome; the guacamole is as good as the salsa The main course - good as the salsa- nothing else needs to be said One of the owners came over to visit and asked what we thought-- I told him I was gonna rate him on the Yelp scale of 1-5- - - He said what grade do we get? A 7 I said- and well deserved Told him next time we are back this way - we look forward to seeing him again Great place- great food and service and where your business is appreciated!!
