My exepeince was great! It was hot so we just did curbside service. The guy yesterday(Sunday) was really fast and nice. The tacos and papas with bisteak was excellent. Everything was very fresh and good. Lots of carne! I highly recommend!

My favorite taco place ever. They are not healthy at all but so delicious I could eat here every day until I get a heart attack. Highly recommend anyone that visits Rio Bravo to try these tacos at least once and not end up ordering some more to go before you leave.

This is one of those mexican taco places that got too famous. The tacos are quite good and the salsa is also really good but for mexicans it is just a little too expensive. You can get tacos just as good a few blocks away from main street. The service is hit or miss, sometimes they are really good and at least on one ocassion me and my girlfriend just left, because the staff just ignored us so cross your fingers and hope they are having a good day.
