VERY RUDE!! As soon as I walked in the restaurant the older lady did not greet me first thing she…read moresaid was "Do you have an order?" I said no for dine in please, she walked away. There was only one person there so it wasn't full. I saw and waited she then comes up and asked me what I want. I tell her and she starts being sort of passive aggressive so I think to myself am I saying anything wrong? Or am I sounding mean or rude, but I wasn't. I just canceled my order because she was going to be prepping my food. So disappointed I really wanted my pupusas.

Great staff and management…read more Best chips and salsa in town. I love the Mexican tacos with steak

I wasn't able to go to the place I planned to, so I decided to stop by the Villas food truck since…read moreit was in the way. The food was made fairly quickly and the man who took my order was very kind when I decided to add an order of chips and queso to my order of three al pastor tacos. The meat was very flavorful and the tacos were the perfect portion. I loved the green salsa they had on the side. Also included were the fixings of radishes, cucumbers and limes. The chips and queso were also a good portion. This was perfect for a meal to go!

First time here and it was so worth it. I had an Arepa (like a Mexican corn masa gorditas but…read morelighter). They really stuff them. 1 will fill you up with loads of flavors. I had the Pabellon, slow roasted beef roast with latin spices (but not spicy hot), shredded white cheese, black beans, and a fried plantain. Everything tasted great together. Instead of tacos, try this place out, but be patient. All food is made to order, so fresh food IS NOT FAST FOOD, but so worth the wait. You won't regret trying this place out.

It took about 15-20 minutes just to get our drinks and around 40 minutes to get our food. The place was packed on a Friday night, so that may have contributed to the delays. The service seemed a little unorganized, but our server was very polite and friendly. Overall, I would give them another try. Hopefully, the service is a little smoother next time!

Gym girl approved. Bulk season certified. Cardio optional…read more Listen. If you're counting macros... maybe don't open MyFitnessPal before reading this. Because Rio Burritos said: Protein? Yes. Cheese? Also yes. Portion control? Absolutely not. And honestly? Respect. The Birria Tacos (aka post-workout happiness) These tacos are CRISPY. Like audible crunch. Golden, juicy, stuffed with slow-cooked beef that tastes like it's been marinating in flavor since 1997. And the consommé??? You dip it and suddenly you understand why people fall in love too fast. Served with: Mexican rice (carb loading but make it elite) Refried beans with melted cheese (fiber... we're calling it balance) A lime wedge for aesthetic health Would I eat this after leg day? Yes. Would I eat this before leg day? Also yes. The Smothered Burrito (aka the villain arc meal) It comes out sizzling like it's announcing its presence. Completely drowned in melted cheese. Sauce everywhere. Zero shame. You cut into it and it's just layers of juicy meat, sauce, and chaos. This is not a "cute little lunch." This is a "cancel your plans and commit" situation. Foodie Influencer Notes: Portions are HUGE (shareable but do you really want to?) Flavor is bold, rich, and comforting Not watered down, not bland, not pretending to be healthy This is real, messy, satisfying food Gym Girl Verdict: Is it high protein? Yes. Is it high calorie? Also yes. Is life about balance? Absolutely. You can meal prep chicken and rice all week... but sometimes you need birria dipped in consommé while telling yourself "this is for muscle growth." Final Rating: 9/10 - would absolutely earn this on the StairMaster again.
