Rio Chico - Charleston

In all these years, Rio Chico is on the street, but we always drove the bridge to Maria's or wandered to Santis. You have great fresh food, fresh chips and kicky salsa. Daily specials are a nice option for savings. Really friendly service and affordable prices. Rio Chico is now our preferred place for fast Mexican cuisine.

Tasty, abundant portions. Our waitress, didn't catch her name but from Belarus, was very nice.

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Anastasia was the best server I ever asked. The food and the margaritas were incredible and for such a great price I would have just spent more when I returned home in MA for everything I got. Can't recommend this place enough. Ask Anastasia when you go, she's such a jewel. Talk about service with a smile! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

The menu offers great combinations if you're not in the mood for a full plate of three enchiladas or tacos. You can choose 1, 2, or 3 different items. I opted for a beef taco and an enchilada, both of which were very tasty. Our waitress, Anastasia, was outstanding. She was not only extremely efficient but also delightful to chat with. She's a bright, well-informed, and capable young woman and we would definitely want her to serve us again in the future. The total bill for two Margheritas and two sets of two combination selections was $44 before tips.

Rio Chico is the perfect spot for excellent personal service and fantastic margaritas every night. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to help. The tableware is consistently fresh, and hot dishes arrive steaming. The bar team serves up strong drinks every time. The atmosphere is calm and family-friendly, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed outing. While it’s not designed for celebrations, it’s still a great place to enjoy a meal with loved ones. I have nothing against a lively party, but Rio Chico offers a more subdued experience.
