El Rio Grande Mexican - Independence

Freaking fell in love with this place! They give you some much food and it is all so good! Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chimichanga

Food was mediocre at best. Presentation looked great but the taste, or lack of taste I should say, was disappointing. Best thing served was the French fires in the kids meal. The salsa tasted like they dumped cheap spaghetti sauce into a bowl. Food: 1 Service: 2

It really depends what day you go here, what service you’ll get. I’ve been 2x in the last week. The first experience was great! The second experience (yesterday) was great but warm inside, they may need a new AC unit. I always get the Pollo Bandido (no beans) and it’s soooo delicious. Chicken and rice covered in queso. It was $45 for three people during lunch hours. I have ordered takeout in the past and sometimes it’s so busy that the wait takes forever and the host disappears. Some of the hosts are not friendly, but most of them are. A few take out orders I’ve had have been messed up in the past (2x) where they’ve given us beans when we specifically asked for no beans. This is probably because of low staffing and busy times though. I still highly recommend El Rio Grande!!! It’s my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! I literally crave this stuff. Parking: Big parking lot! Kid-friendliness: Kids come here all the time.

Walked in at 9:15 and we were told they weren’t serving anymore people. They don’t close until 10 and the door was open, open sign flashing, with other customers inside eating. Not returning. Ridiculous. Service: 1

If I could give no stars or negative stars, I would. Called and placed a to go order, they gave a 25-30 minute estimate, which is reasonable. Arrive at 30 minutes in, food should be ready. Go in and pay, host disappears, 40 MINUTES LATER someone finally brings my food out. The place was half empty and fully staffed. There is no excuse for this. I'll never give my business to rio grande ever again Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
