Rio Bravo - Mexican restaurant in Gulf Breeze - 3755 Gulf Breeze Pkwy I, USA

Don’t let the strip mall facade fool you. It is a large full size restaurant. The have a separate bar and dining area. There are some side walk seats for a quick lunch outside. They make the fresh guacamole if you ask for it as a separate $10+ on the starter portion of the menu. It is made fresh when you order. If however the order comes with guacamole it is the standard that you can get at any supermarket and it is very salty. The taco salad was good as was the enchiladas. The sides for the enchiladas were beans and rice. The beans were good but the rice was flavorless. The staff seemed friendly enough but our waiter was more interested in something on his phone than paying attention to his customers. We watched him and waited for ten minutes before he looked up from his phone in our direction. He never came to check on us. Never asked or checked for refills.

Been going to this place for the last 2 years.. however today ordered a 3 meat dish( 2 pork and 1 shrimp) Item came with 2 pork and beef.. let the bartender know about the order, she then brought the shrimp and proceeded to charge us for it..When bringing it to her attention she got very defensive and told me to get out of her face??? Was just trying to correct their mistake and no need to pay for there mistake.. manager took care of the problem but not very happy with the overall customer service!!!!!!

It’s fine. Meat. Beans. Cheese. Rice. My daiquiri came out covered in whipped cream. Some may like this. I do not enjoy dairy and alcohol. The bean dip was fantastic. Service is excellent and very attentive. I don’t think I’ll visit again, but I do think you should give it a try if you’re in the area. Parking lot is atrocious, but it is a high volume Walmart parking lot- it is what it is.

Our server was on her phone any time we tried to get her attention. The music was good, great musician, but it was way too loud for ambiance. More like a bar vibe. The food was disappointing, we had come back for familiar favorites and couldn't eat the bland and greasy options given. Told the waitress and she said, ok! Here's the check. Not sure if we'll be back any time soon. Lookout.

3.5 stars. Been here several times and always like it. As far as “Mexican food” places go I like this one better than most and they are very friendly and portions are generous. Located in front of Walmart at a busy place on hwy 98 it’s very centrally located. Worth a stop in for lunch. Better than any of the Mexican places within 30 minutes drive.

Good food. The service was fast although busy. The burrito al carbon is great. The flan was excellent. My daughter lover her piña colada smoothie. 2023, the Pollo Loco is very good. The fajita salad with steak is excellent as well.

I decided to have takeout here on my lunch break today. I ordered Vera Cruz Steak(well done)with no salad and extra rice.I got back to work and my steak was not well done I'm sure it was either medium or medium rare and not as I ordered. I couldn’t even enjoy my meal. The rice was okay and the food smelled good but my steak was not as ordered. I spent $22 on a meal I couldn’t even eat properly. I wouldnt recommend.

Have always loved this restaurant but noticed food portions getting smaller and smaller each time! Ordered Texas Fajitas for 2, they forgot to add the Tortilla’s (which they only usually give 3 small ones, between 2 people). We have a small portion of rice and beans and an even smaller pot of half full salad (well not even a salad). Will def be looking for a better Mexican Restaurant.
