Rio Rico Mexican Grill

The service was great to start with but after our order was taken it went down. The chips and salsa were good and the guacamole was fresh made when ordered. The carne asada burrito needed something for an extra kick. The pico inside it was barely noticeable and the green sauce on top was a tomatillo sauce with no chili flavor at all. The chicken fajitas were good but nothing special. The cheese burger was okay, my granddaughter got it because they were out of tamales. They used quality ingredients and the food was good but it just didn't have the kick we enjoy in our food.

Rio Rico is a newley opened location of a family styled Mexican restaurant with over 15 years of serving the nearby Gilbert area. The new facilities provide for a full bar, dining area, and two separately reserved party rooms for special events or dinners. This was my first visit to Rio Rico. The staff was very kind and sevice was fast, efficient and helpful. The prices were also reasonable. The seating area is spacious and some booths are more secluded than others. My entrée tonight was the Pollo Al Chipotle, which is a grilled chicken dish that is smoothered in a smooth, creamy aioli sauce filled with mushrooms, onions and spiced with a slow burn chipotle spice. It comes with rice and beans sides as well as a couple of flour or corn tortillas. It was a nice dish, but not flavors that I enjoyed. My son ordered the chile verde plate, which I tried some bites of. The green chile pork flavor was more of the light green flavor, nothing close to the hatch chile sharp flavor I enioy. The pork was perfectly cooked, but again more of an average green chile than I like. That said, the chips and salsa were excellent, and one of my important points of a Mexican restaurant is that the chips and salsa must be excellent if provided. I will return to Rio Rico because I didn't get a chance to try the red chili or sauce dishes. And the staff was genuinely excellent, so I am sure the I can find another entrée that I will be more to my liking.

$9 lunch special enchilada with red sauce, served with rice and beans. The enchilada sauce and the beans were delish! The rice was a little dry. Service was great. Salsa was fireyyyy and delicious - I couldn’t stop eating it.

Delicious food! I always get a chimmichanga with green sauce and it always tastes amazing. Chips come out warm and the salsa is so so tasty
