This place isn’t it. They don’t put queso on the food at all. If you ask for it they just melt the shredded cheese. Definitely language barrier and food won’t come out right even with a small modifications. much better Mexican places then this

El Rio Grande offers an exceptional dining experience with its mouth watering Xangos dessert, a true delight!The Fajita sizzler for 2 is a generous feast capable of satisfying even a group of 4, boasting ample portions, freshly prepared sides, and flavorful sauces.The outstanding service complements the delectable cuisine, making it a must-visit destination for lovers of Mexican cuisine seeking quality and quantity in equal measure.Vegetarian options: Every dish can easily be made vegetarian by simply removing the meat and adding in some refried or black beans.Dietary restrictions: When you make a reservation at a restaurant, be sure to tell the staff about any dietary restrictions or preferences you have. If they can't accommodate you, they may be able to recommend other restaurants that can.Parking: On busy days spots directly in front of the restaurant fill up quickly, but there is plenty of parking in the parking areas adjacent to the exact location.Kid-friendliness: A warm and inviting atmosphere with plenty of room at the tables, colorful seating and wall decorations as well as enough ambient music to ensure even those children that are a bit loud won't disturb others.Wheelchair accessibility: This location has no barriers to entry and both front doors are wheelchair width and easily navigable. There is a slight curb directly in front of the restaurant but a ramp on the right hand side of the sidewalk.

A bit of a language barrier with the server, but other than that, it was a solid “strip mall” Mexican place. Margaritas were large and cheap- mine was noticeably stronger than my girlfriends. Both of our meals were large enough to split and bring home. Chips came out warm and were great!

The food is always amazing! The service really varies from server to server. And the atmosphere can vary a bit as well. Over all a nice restaurant for family dinner or lunch.

I have been coming here for years and they never fail to produce good food, great service and a comfortable atmosphere. This is not high gourmet Mexican food but it is very good.
