Taco Rio Mexican Kitchen

Tried to eat here while visiting through this area since I saw other good reviews and could not finish the food. Chips were stale, salsa and queso just looked "old" or like fake cheese. Tacos de asada were bland. The meat, ehh I just couldn't. Lo siento, no estuvo bueno. ???? I'm from Chicago originally and I know good Mexican food so I was hoping this hole in the wall spot would be one of those amazing places you find that don't look like much from outside, but blow you away. It fell very short. Unfortunately. It's so so. The plaza it is in is a bit run down, looks sketchy so be vigilant.

4/5 food. Had a few pieces of really, really chewy carne and a bone in the Barbacoa. Pastor was decent. Salsa Verde was good, rojo was not my cup of tea. Gave me lemons instead of limes with the tacos—that’s a first for me. I prefer the latter. One star off bc tacos took 40min to come out. Less than half of the tables were filled...Maybe just short staffed? I think the move is to call in your order—seemed to be what others were doing. Anyways, probably won’t return. Not bad though and worth a try.

With amazing, authentic Mexican food, this restaurant is a great place to eat! The food is homemade and delicious! The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The owners even took the time to visit and make sure everything was ok. You won't leave Taco Rio hungry or disappointed!
