led to the formation of Team Rio Grande Racing—

The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant is a sanctuary from the everyday — where good things come in three… seriously good mexican food, fun and margaritas Everyone needs a healthy escape ever y now and then. The Rio was built on the simple promise of providing that little bit of sanctuary – any time you need it. It all began in 1986, when the town of Fort Collins was hungry for some good Mexican food and really thirsty for a decent margarita. Three guys from the Texas Gulf Coast served up something special, and that tradition continues today with six great Colorado locations – each having a flavor all its own. Throughout, our people have always been our secret ingredient. Treating each other well is our way of life. Delivering wholesome food and a wholesome workplace is the best way to ensure enthusiastically satisfied customers. And sharing the flavors we’ve experienced along the way is always the start of a good thing. So cheers. Enjoy our many adventures in Mexico, the recipes we’ve discovered, and of course, the legendary Rio Marg. We hope you’ll agree that it’s the best dang margaritas and Mexican food this side of the Rio Grande – together with an atmosphere that makes you forget why you needed a getaway in the first place.

Rio Food

There’s Mexican food. And there’s seriously good Mexican food – the kind that combines natural ingredients, the freshest produce, and unique flavors for a taste all its own. That’s what you get at The Rio. We make all of our food from scratch right in our own kitchens daily. Because who can have fun without seriously good food? We truly believe that good, natural ingredients make everything better. It’s why we use 100-percent Angus-certified steak and wholesome chicken raised on family farms in our tacos, burritos, and fajitas. Why our fresh-made tortillas have just three natural ingredients. And it’s why we use only good, healthy black beans – the perfect alternative to refried pinto beans. And there’s so much more. In fact, we get practically all our ingredients locally, because farm-freshness tastes way better than canned and frozen. We’re not just any Mexican restaurant. We’re The Rio, where good things always start with seriously good food.

Rio Margaritas
Some only need one, others two, but the limit is tres… At The Rio, we feel the last ingredient for making everything better is the perfect margarita – served frozen or on the rocks. That’s our tradition, and the secret recipe for our marg has become the stuff of legend. Maybe because we’ve found just the right combination of tequila, salt, and lime – and coupled that with the perfect scene for a memorably fun experience? Perhaps because three is the magic number? Whatever the reason, please kick back, escape from it all, and enjoy a deliciously legendary Rio margarita.
