What People Are Saying About El Rio Grande Restaurant

In Short
In the summer, hordes of after-work drinkers pack the patio of this Tex-Mex restaurant, which is housed on the second floor of an office building. In winter, tables are crammed into the two dining rooms, dubbed Texas and Mexico. Ceilings are high, and the floor is carpeted. The menu, aside from few surprises like swordfish, offers the usual taco, burrito and enchilada fare. A truly grande margarita selection includes offbeat flavors like wilderberry and pomegranate.

Had an awful experience here. You can find much better mexican for half the price. Beware: This is big time B & T.

The food here is soso but its a great place to go for drinks after work - For some reason, this place always has flies around the bar area which bothers me a bit but during the warmer months the outdoor space is bumping - Margaritas arent bad and creep up on you -- my girlfriend likes the chips and salsa

This is by far one of my favorite mexican food spots in Manhattan. I am from Texas (land of Tex-Mex), and I haven't found chile con queso this authentic anywhere else in the city. The frozen margaritas are really delicious and strong with many flavors to choose from, the tortillas are homeade, the steak is tender and julicy and the guac is to die for. The service is decent and the prices are reasonable.
