We love going to Rios. The people are always so nice and friendly. We love their chocolate martinis and all of the food is cooked just how we like it. The sides are a little expensive for the premium sides and I wish they would bring back their salad bar and hot dishes bar that they used to have. Also they got rid of blue cheese dressing so please bring that back.

Awesome restaurant! The vibe is great and the food was spectacular. Recommend the Pescado a la Talla and the Sueno de Camote - the latter is one of the best cocktails I’ve had in recent memory. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. Our bartender was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an expert at her craft. Highly recommend.

Friendly, attentive service. Food and drinks were delicious. Chocolate portion seemed less than other visits but they were generous with dippers when I asked for a few more.

The bar experience was excellent. Our server was perfect and the food was cooked to perfection. I find it odd that there are no red wines in the $50-80 range on their wine list.
