Came in mid-afternoon with one other adult son. Slow time, so I don't know how it is when it's busy. Happy Hour margaritas was the best I've ever had and I have them often. Both me and my son were very happy with the food. Service was attentive without being overpowering. All in all. I will be back next time I'm in town and would not hesitate to recommend to a friend.

Really like the rooftop seating, service was kind of slow (but it was busy). Ordered the steak tostadas, which had way too much lettuce and barely any meat. Good portion size though.Parking: Small parking deck across the street and a handful of street parking immediately adjacent. If busy, would recommend parking at neighboring blocks parking options and then walking. Area is walkable.

I’m assuming they’re not equipped to handle a large group because of the terrible service our group received. Our reservation was for 6:30 but we didn’t get our food until after 8:00. Had we not been such a large group we probably would’ve left. When we finally got our food, it was pretty good but not worth waiting 90mins for.

Went mid-afternoon and the place was quiet. Our server was initially efficient then seemed to get into a long conversation w a staff member over getting to the point where we had to get up to get her to take our order. Chile rellenos were excellent; however, a bit smaller than usual.Still an enjoyable mid-afternoon (?early dinner) place to go.

Worst service ever. Been going to the Rio for over 30 years and this was the worst service ever, until the night service came in and they were very accommodating.

Had family in town and they wanted to see the flatirons. It was too windy to hike se we decided to walk on Pearl street and have some lunch. The Rio seemed a good choice, very clean and friendly staff.We sat at the bar and Sienna (sp) was our bartender. Very friendly and gave great suggestions from the menu. Drinks and food were very good. We will for sure bring anyone that travels to see back to the Rio!

Every time I come to boulder I come here because the food is so good I once came here three times in four days I totally recommend this placeDietary restrictions: If you ask them about a dietary restriction they do a good job making sure that it isn't in your foodKid-friendliness: They have their own kids menu with a different picture to color every time

Ansel was our waiter. Gave the best suggestions and made the experience absolutely amazing. 10/10 for service and 10/10 for food. Will be back, and requesting his service area!
