The strip mall was a little sus, but El Río was amazing. The staff was attentive, the food was affordable and delicious, and they have great daily specials. Pro tip: if you like spice, ask for their spicy (picante) salsas. There are two and they are fire

Drove through town, stopped in and we were seated fast. Chips and salsa was immediately set on table as our drink order was taken. The chips were fresh and their homemade hot sauce is amazing and tangy! The food quality was good and even the beans in my taco salad were whole! Everything was good from A-Z

By far the best one of the five I've been to. I love the horchata. It's better than all the others I've ever had. Definitely try it. I only come when I visit my aunt but I love this place.

We love coming here! The food is great and portion sizes are generous. It's a relatively small place, so it can be noisy when it's full, but there's always the option to get food to go.

I wanted great Mexican food, and I found it here! Made me feel exactly how I wanted to while I was here. It felt like eating at a friend's house, the homemade salsas were excellent. The staff is great. Everyone checked on me and made sure I had everything I needed. I recommend it to anyone I know working in the area.
