Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant - Tex-Mex restaurant in Boulder - 1101 Walnut St, USA

Stopped here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. The place was nice with prompt service. We sat in the outdoor seating which was nice with a great view of the mountains. I tried the taco combo with 2 mahi and 1 Baja. I liked the Baja more and had taken the side of veggies. My wife got the steak fajita. I really loved it and recommend this for sure. The steak was perfectly medium rare and tasted well. One of my friends got the rio classic chile rellenos which was also very good. We also got the chicken enchiladas which was great as well. Overall a great place

Upon walking it was welcoming. Server was okay . Food is not mexican food ..it's Mexicant . No flavor .. My child said the queso tasted like melted sandwich cheese ☺️ and he was absolutely right about that . Sopapillas were the best thing we enjoyed and the water was delightful .

The cheese is definitely velvita cheese , not queso . The chicken didn’t have any seasoning, and certainly not authentic tacos, remember , no color no flavor . We were never offered any silverware , and when the queso came they didn’t bring any chips. They didn’t even fill the burrito or take the time to melt their frozen cheese on top of the burrito lol.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant and I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and a nice view on the mountain. I ordered a chicken tortilla soup and mini mahi mahi taco , as well as salad with greens, tomatoes and avocado . The soup wasn’t very good and the chicken was too rubbery and I left it on the bottom of the plate . I did like the fish taco and the salad . My Server was very good !

Stopped in for an appetizer before having dinner elsewhere. The Chili Con Casio was very good and reasonably priced. Our server was spot on and friendly. We also enjoyed the unique decor inside the restaurant. If back in town again we would certainly like to try some of the main entree's.

Got the lunch taco combo. Mahi-Mahi, carnitas, and lime chicken. Mahi-mahi was amazing. Highly recommend. Very flavorful. Other were okay. Carnitas seemed pretty bland to me. Good texture though Amazing service and good vibe. Definitely a Boulder kinda place

Rooftop is fun and the service is good. Unfortunately, that’s about all I’d say this place has going for it. The food is bland and portions measly for what you pay for. I ordered a burrito and got a soggy, flavorless blob that looked like it came out of the microwave. As with all spots on pearl, there is serious potential for an exceptional restaurant. This one, however, has not hit the marks for me yet.
