Nice view and friendly service. We sat outside and had chips & guacamole. Celiac husband did fine. They do validate for the marina parking. They do not have a happy hour. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - Menu - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

Loved the update here! Super yummy new menu items! I came with some family and odered the Chips and salsa, Carne asada bowl, and steak tacos. The chips were fantastic! Salsas and guacamole were equally delicious, just a bit of a smaller portion for four people. The Carne asada bowl was huge!!! I shared it and still had some left after I was finished eating! The flowers combined very well and I loved the freshness of the produce! I didn't personally try the steak tacos but I heard that the meat was very juicy, and the flavors really danced! We were also greeted with a free dessert! Flan! Super thoughtful and unexpected! Unfortunately I have to say that it certainly wasn't the best flan I've ever had. But it was free so it was good! :D Our service was top notch! Super personal and friendly approach! Very attentive and kind from all staff! I'd also like to mention that the bathrooms are incredible! I loved the mirrors! (Wish I knew where I could buy one) Altogether we had a delightful experience on all ends! The only thing I would look forward to would be if a few more menu items were added. Perhaps a few more chicken and vegetarian options? I will definitely be returning the next time I'm over in The beaver state! read more

At lunch time, it's not busy at all and only ~5 tables were full including ours. There is a view of the river from most indoor tables. The birria empanadas came with two empanadas, beans, and rice. I was a little disappointed that the food was lukewarm to warm at best and not at all hot, making me question if it had been sitting, waiting to be sent out for a long time. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - Birria Empanada - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

I would never recommend this place for any reason. The people were nice and the view's beautiful, but the prices are atrocious and the quality is subpar at best. $32 for 3 tacos is absurd, and the meat was burnt. The nachos were $35 and also generic/blah. The carne asada was again, burnt. I don't leave many reviews but I had to leave one here because it was so bad. I hope they change ownership again soon. read more

Welcome to Sunriver, Rio Sol! I had a wonderful meal here last weekend with three girlfriends. We didn't have a reservation, so we sat at the high top table near the bar. Everyone who served us or helped us was very friendly, and we all loved our food. We shared fried avocados as an appetizer, and I really enjoyed my fish tacos. we also enjoyed taking pictures with the goofy Chihuahua painting behind us. We were told that they were not seating people at all of the tables because they were understaffed. That seemed odd to us, as there were so many people working there, and many of them were standing around not looking like they were doing a lot. I hope that they figure out a way to use their staff efficiently and make this a profitable venture. It's a great restaurant, and I can't wait to return. read more

Lack of service and common sense! Came in with a party of four. Was told there were no available seats, however, right behind the hostess was a couple who she had seated at a 10-top group table! When I asked about sitting at four of the remaining eight seats, she told me "no" because she "wasn't sure if the couple wanted to sit next to anyone". Mind you, while having this conversation, there were at least two other 2-tops completely empty. I utilized all of my strength and restrained myself from attempting to suggest any logical or rational solutions to assist the hostess in solving this basic, completely avoidable problem and decided to eat elsewhere. read more

Surprisingly good food for the 'location trap' I thought it would be. And they do not price gouge either. Food is really good, though the kids hated the 'trying too hard' rice and beans. Location is great, with window view of the river too! Adults: Birria Tacos was really really good, everyone loved it. We are going back just to have it again this trip. 9 stars! Shrimp tacos - okay (comparing with the Birria Tacos didn't help :) ) 7 stars Drink: Mojito - good balanced flavor (just wanted a little more though) 7 stars Kids: (rated by kids) Custom rice and beans burrito - really poor (but it's custom and not worth reviewing.) they were very gracious in trying to accommodate- very kind. Rice and Beans - 5 stars (I had them, they had a unique flavor which I appreciated - 7 stars) Cheese Quesadilla - 8 stars Above average food that is worth driving / riding to. I'm curious to try their enchiladas too. Honestly, they are really trying to make food that people are will to drive to and they are achieving that goal. Best meal I've had at Sunriver so far. Location is out of the way, but eating good food by the river view is worth it! Price - average (for a Seattle-lite) Service - great. Very gracious! read more

Food was mid, at best, for the price. Kids menu is extremely limited, so if you've got little ones, this isn't the place for you. There's like 3 options, two of which are nachos, and are basically similar to if you took tortilla chips, dropped cheese on them, and melted them in the microwave. read more

After spending the afternoon doing a waterfall crawl from Bend to Sunriver we decided to stop for some Latin food at Rio Sol, it was not a mistake the food and tequila was fantastic. Highly recommend the Cochinita Pibil it's so authentic and delicious. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

Loved the location and view! We felt like were eating right on the river. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. The bartenders were super helpful at helping us pair a tasty beverage with our meal. I only wish I lived in the area so I could visit more often! read more

Wow! This is an incredible place, especially considering it is well inside the Sunriver property (not somewhere the public will stumble upon). Fantastic view, the patio is incredible. Food was fantastic and the staff is very genuine, friendly and helpful. If we lived closer, this would a regular spot! We'll be back next year for sure. read more

Personally my meal (Rio Sol Chipotle Chicken) was very flavorful aside from the Arroz Verde which I found to be extremely bland. This itself was $30, which I wouldn't mind but the portions were tiny. The rest of my party were also not satisfied at all, as their Birria tacos were child sized, and Enchiladas were as well. And once again their sides (Cuban black beans, Arroz Verde) were bland. The service itself was ok, seemed like she couldn't really understand what we were trying to say. And took us way too long to get the check even though the place was nearly empty. We've never tried this restaurant before but we're intrigued when we saw it was right on the river. When we first got seated we noticed a strange rumbling sound and assumed that it was the airport nearby. But quickly realized it was their AC system, which sounded like a car with only one window rolled down. Will not be going back read more

food is too expensive!! the owners have no clue how to run a restaurant go to a food truck for half the price!

We went here for dinner after reading other reviews and we were so glad we did. Service was excellent, authentic food, delicious salsas with the tortilla chip appetizer. Ordered drinks- had one with Fuego in the title-peppered vodka with mango puree, lime and a tajin rim. Spicy, slightly sweet, smooth. Carne asada wrap a was delicious. Should have ordered more of the salsa verde on the side. Ordered churros to go and they are a good portion and came with ice cream. Definitely recommend. Table with view of the water was a nice touch. read more

The Chicken Mole was the best I've had in a long time. Grilled chicken was done perfectly fork tender. Service was excellent. No complaints. It was busy and the kitchen was backed up a bit, but the server , Alberto, told us that and was very gracious about it. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - View from our table. - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

We have eaten there about 5 times and have wanted to return. However we were disappointed with the food on July 29. My husband ordered the salmon dish, which he has previously enjoyed. This time it was over cooked and crisp on the outside. The purple potatoes were good. I ordered the spicy beef enchiladas. The shredded beef was tough and the tortillas were dry and tasted old. We ordered the Malbec, which we enjoyed. read more

Delicious and inviting. The food was very flavorful. The atmosphere and view was incredible.

We were regulars at Holas and were sad that it closed but we decided to try Rio Sol tonight. The setting can't be beat, right on the Deschutes River. The interior has been upgraded and remains warm and comfortable. Although the menu is small the food is excellent. Definitely upscale Latin. We had the Mole Chicken enchilada and it was delicious. I had the Mojito Cubano and enjoyed it. The service and the price are excellent for the setting and quality of the food. read more

Decent food, but go for the margaritas, chips and salsa. Friendly staff, sometimes rare in resort towns. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I just ate there last night and both of us give it our top rating. The food was out of this world. Their house made mole is incredible over an enchilada and they even smoke wild mushrooms which my wife had in her dish. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is gorgeous being on the Deschutes River. read more

I would give it a zero if I could. Wow, never going back to Rio Sol. We were there for their soft opening. I really loved their chef, food and drinks at the soft opening. Tonight we had horrible service. I made a reservation and the hostess didn't say it was for the bar at the time. She literally sat us at the front entrance where people line up. She gave us attitude when I said you didn't say our table was in the bar. She didn't try to offer us another table outside which would have been better. I saw bigger groups of people come in without reservations and get tables in the restaurant or outside. The waiter wasn't really nice either. A bit intense. We ordered drinks (expensive) and decided to leave because people waiting for a table were literally standing right next to us. Tip on the drinks was zero. We were that mad. Also, they don't have the large Hola style margaritas, you have to pay for chips and salsa and the menu options were few. Glad we left and enjoyed our dinner at VBAG. Delicious! Thank you VBAG. You guys are awesome! read more

We love this restaurant when we come to Sunriver every fall. However, info on website about hours is not correct. Says open every day at noon. Our family of 8 biked over to have lunch at 2:00 pm and you were closed. Does not open until 3:00. Sad. read more

We were in the area sightseeing and looking for a place to eat. We don't usually go to (regular) restaurants since my wife is celiac and we try to eat healthy, quality food. This place had good reviews and seemed to have quality food options. We were very happy with our choice! The waitress was great. Very friendly and helpful. They were very aware of the gluten free options. The food and drinks were great. We would definitely go back again. read more

We've been here several times and have always had a wonderful experience. Great food, beautiful setting, and cheerful and attentive waitstaff. Nearly everything on the menu is gluten-free, which is perfect for me, because I have Celiac disease. Rarely do I have so many choices of menu items to eat that I am completely confident are safe. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - The beautiful Sunriver Marina the night we ate at Rio Sol. - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

Visited Rio Sol as a guest of friends on grand opening night. I remember the place as having been Hola but this was new. Very friendly kitchen staff lined up and serving food, the woman chef stopped at each table to greet guests, shake hands and talk about the food. We were enchanted, (hope that's the right word) that she took such an interest in our opinions. The food was spectacular and I'm still craving the carnitas. That was then and this is now. Every restaurant had to find its own audience and it takes a little time. That in mind, my wife and I were driving back from Klamath Falls and I remembered having eaten there and loving it. We made the decision to stop (it was the carnitas!). Environment still lovely, drinks are still good but the food has gone completely downhill. It wasn't just one dish, it was all of them. Neither of us finished our meals and both of us were very disappointed with the whole thing. This isn't "Latin cuisine", it's basically all Mexican but a lower grade than the previous Hola place (best tamales ever). Next time we're just gonna save the time and eat at Hola because bottom line - they're consistently excellent. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. We ordered birria and carne asada tacos for dinner. Both entre were delicious. We also ordered the chips and salsa/beans/guacamole from the appetizer menu. Those were great, too. Their chips are fresh made and absolutely divine. read more

Food was just ok. Service was great; the real breaker was the $5.00 charge for a "split plate". A split plate in my experience is a dish that was split back in the kitchen with extra side. Rio Sol " split plate" was an extra plate.. handed to us .... Just empty ... but it was a clean plate. Should I be happy about paying $5.00 for someone handing me an extra plate? I don't think so. read more

Holy cow--delicious tacos, enchiladas, chips/salsas, and margaritas! Lovely setting on the river and great service as well.

We came in with a group of 8 for an early dinner--excited to enjoy the patio, good food, and bring the kids along. While the food and drinks were excellent, our experience was overshadowed by unwelcoming treatment from management. Despite our reservation, we were subtly (and later, directly) encouraged to leave due to the presence of our kids simply being... kids. Shockingly, another guest even mentioned overhearing a negative remark from management about our group before we were seated. It's a real shame--this place is a gem to bike to, but the lack of hospitality left a bitter taste that no great meal can fix. read more

OMG, every bite was amazing. We had the Strawberry Mojito and Roasted Pineapple Mojito. We started with the Chips and Salsa. The chips were fantastic with great seasoning. They came with beans, guacamole, pico, & tomatillo salsa. All were perfectly prepared and very flavorful. I had the fish tacos, best I've ever had. Linda had the Mole Enchiladas. We will be adding this to our regular rotation of Sunriver eateries. Staff were all wonderful. Our only disappointment was that we wanted to take dessert home to enjoy later. Our favorite is Creme Brule. They have a Margarita Creme Brule, but they don't have a to go option. Another FYI, we had a 5pm dinner, it wasn't crowded or noisy. By the time we left, just before 6, it was filling up a very noisy. read more

We went on opening night 4/11/24, right after their transformation from 'Hola'. The food has had a *major* upgrade and is fantastic. We had the filet mignon, which was superb. The Tortilla soup was also excellent, subtle and flavorful. The Paella was also very good. The food is also not very spicy, so it will suit most people. The service was great as well. read more

Rio Sol Latin Kitchen - Chicken Tortilla Bowl - Latin American Near Me - Sunriver, Oregon

I had the mole, it was excellent. The prices were a bit shocking. Small portions, resort prices. The choices are a little better than typical Mexican cuisine, but the portions and quality don't match the cost. $200 for 4 people. You're paying for ambiance, location, chef influenced dining. read more

So disappointing. We have come to Holas for many years and also visited Rio Sol when they first opened. What happened? The service was super slow- over an hour to get our meals and they forgot to serve the appetizer we ordered with our drinks. The famous flavors we came to enjoy were gone. The menu is nothing like it was before- even 3 months ago. Prices are very high for the very average tasting enchiladas. $90 for two enchilada plates, a drink and a beer. read more

This review isn't about the food, as we never ended up eating there, but it is about their service, or rather their policy as told to us by their hostess. My wife called the restaurant to book a table for 11, since apparently open table says that we have to call for parties larger than 8. She was told by the hostess that for a party that large, we'd have to provide a credit card and agree to a minimum spend amounting to something like $43/person. I looked at the menu and determined that $43/person was pretty ambitious on their part, particularly because a few of our group were children and wouldn't be drinking. I called back and spoke with the same person and said that while I was familiar with restaurants taking a credit card to hold the reservation (with a cancellation penalty), I had never heard of a "minimum spend" charge. I assured her that we would be eating dinner (and drinking), but that I wasn't comfortable with a minimum spend. She told me that it's a "common practice" and was the restaurant's "policy" for reservations of 8 or more people. Given that the restaurant had only been open for something like a month prior to this phone call, I found it somewhat humorous that the restaurant would have such fixed policies. Still wanting to find a place to eat for our party of 11, I suggested that we didn't even need to sit at the same table and that we could just make two separate reservations (one for 6 and one for 5). Surprisingly, the hostess said that "wouldn't be allowed", because we'd be trying to "get around" their "policy". Huh?! I thought I must have been misunderstanding her, so I tried again, but no. I heard her correctly the first time. Oh, well. We ended up having a nice meal somewhere else, and they lost out on a party of 11. Moreover, we have a vacation home in Sunriver and spend the summers here, so this new restaurant lost out on potential regulars. Hopefully (for them) the tourists will keep them in business, because I'm guessing I'm not the first person they so casually dismissed. read more

New name (used to be Hola)... now a beautiful upscale space. Food was delicious! Worth the drive from Sunriver Village if you're looking for a nice dine-in restaurant. read more

You have to pay for chips and salsa. That drops 2 stars for me right away. Therefore, there wasn't enough salsa to put on the tacos so we all thought they were dry. So disappointed!!! We were wanting Hola still. Ugh. read more

We ate here the other day during happy hour. The service and the staff were wonderful, however the food and pricing was below par. Our ceviche tasted fishy/old...not fresh...and cost $30. We had to ask for extra limes to doctor up both the ceviche and our margaritas, which were very sweet and syrupy. Beautiful location. I hope they can work on their food and drink quality to cost ratio. read more

Menu selections unique, lots of vegetarian choices, fantastic flavors and diversity. Healthier than most Hispanic/Latin restaurants yet very exciting creations with tons of flavor and variety. Love all that the Hola family have done and brought to Bend. Rio Sol is however --more in line with the bigger city LA, Seattle creativity so you won't have to travel as often to get your Latin fix! Service was wonderful and the restaurant is freshly updated yet casual rustic on the water in Sunriver fits perfectly with the Latin menu. (Same Hola owners --new concept/menu) Set your GPS and treat yourself to a great meal! I don't think we will make it a week b4 we are back to try other dishes! read more
