I started off our meal with The Classic Rio Marg made with a legendary mixture of tequila, salt and lime on the rocks. Nothing beats a Classic Rio Marg; each sip was fresh and crisp with the tequila balancing out the acidity of lime juice.

The Chile Con Queso was made with a cheese blend and pico-de-gallo. This is my favorite queso in town - silky smooth with perfect cheesy taste.

The Rio Classic Chile Rellenos was made with in-house roasted green chiles stuffed w/ cheese & sautéed veggies, and lightly fried. The roasted poblano pepper had a crisp, fried exterior that gave way to the soft vegetable stuffed with melty cheese.

The Grilled Steak & Chicken Fajitas for 2 were served with rice, black beans, grilled veggies, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and flour tortillas. The steak & chicken were covered in rich marinade prior to grilling making it flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy and paired beautifully with the bright medley of grilled veggies.

The Crab & Shrimp Enchiladas were made with Atlantic red crab, shrimp, jack, and tomatillo sauce. The corn tortillas were generously filled with sweet seafood and coated in savory sauce.

The Chicken Quesadilla was made with onion, serrano peppers, jack cheese, & Mexican spices. The crisp warm tortilla clung to plenty of melty jack cheese & grilled chicken.

For dessert we had the Crispy Sopapilla made with tortilla dough, cinnamon, and sugar. The homemade sopapillas were dusted in cinnamon sugar and topped with cold, vanilla ice cream making for sweet bites. The fried, puffed dough was flakey and soft and stood out with a drizzle of honey.
