Rio Grande III

Food is okay. Sometimes they bring you what you order and sometimes they bring you what they want you to have. The servers are okay generally. Some are good and some are bad.

By far my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Morgantown area!

A friend of mine contracted human papillomavirus from the bathroom of Rio Grande II in Beckley WV. Fortunately for us, this is Rio Grande III. The waiters are mostly hipsters but they treat you right and never let the chips bowl go empty. The salsa might be a little watery but it only adds to the experience. The bathrooms are probably cleaned once a week but I still wouldn’t risk it. If you catch a funk from the toilets at Rio Grande 3 don’t say I didn’t warn ya. They accept all the major credit cards (even American Express). They also accept travelers checks. For a good time order the chille relleno but remember to specify Mexican or American editions or they will bring you a plate of slop as a joke. I would recommend this place to most people as a joke.

The food is very good and fast. If my family is starving we go there after church. We have been there so much the waiters recognize us. Prices are better at lunch than dinner.

Salsa tasted weird like it was made with ketchup, bland food and menu has no pork or seafood

All I have to say about big river is that this is what fast food should be. You get free chips and salsa and food is at your table in five minutes. The margaritas are bomb! Grab a pitcher.

I don’t understand the negative reviews. my wife and I live just down the street and this is our most frequented restaurant. I brought my mom here from out of town and she said this was the best Mexican she ever had! That’s saying a lot because we eat a lot of Mexican.

Ok food, service was good but slow.

I have lived in several different states including the majority of my life in Texas. I personally think this place is pretty good although not as cheap as Texas. Staff is primarily Hispanic which I also appreciate even as as an Anglo Texan.
One reviewer said they were disappointed as they had grown up in Colorado. Perhaps that is true. But I spent 5 years in castle rock co as well. For that reviewer to believe dining here is a mistake, well I appreciate the opinion. But moving from Colorado to Morgantown? Well credibility is compromised by that decision!
I like this place!
We Are??? MARSHALL!!!

This place was «meh,» your typical «Mexican» food place, with lots of food smashed together on a plate. The server also hit on my best friend, which was weird.

Let me just add that I have been harassed by someone connected with the restaurant for my negative review. Well, that’s certainly easier than improving a lousy restaurant! Good for you, Rio Grande III.
If you are looking for Mexican in Morgantown, I would recommend Mariachi Loco, near the Wal-​Mart, as well as Chico’s Fat (more Cali-​style).

The page owners need to correct that address, it is not Elk Rd.
Just like Los Mariachis, this place has great chips and salsa. The rice and beans are OK, and I had the veggie fajitas, which come with flour tortillas (not sure if they have corn but I didn’t ask, but should have, I would have preferred corn tortillas). The veggie fajitas was a mix of grilled tomato, bell pepper and onion, not bad actually. The menu is also the same as Los Mariachis.

This used to be my favorite place in Mo-​Town to eat. I recently stopped by and I was dismayed to see how much this place has changed, and not for the better. In fact, both Tex-​Mex restaurants that I used to frequent and love in the area have both had detectable changes in food quality, taste and service.
The service was deplorable, the young lady we encountered as our waitress was brusk and was consistently annoyed (At what we don’t know. Maybe she had a bad day?). We asked for a cheese dip, and she rolled her eyes us! It took awhile to get refills and she made sure that we knew it was inconvenient for her to do so. I ordered my old favorite, the Shrimp Quesadilla, it was okay, it used to be fantastic. My mother ordered a combo platter, she didn’t finish it. I don’t know if it was ambience or the flavor of the food, but something was not the same about RG. I don’t live here anymore, so I don’t have to fret much over it. There are other places in Morgantown to get your quasi Tex-​Mex on.

Not really much to say. Unlimited chips, cheese, hot sauce, and super fast food =)

One star doesn’t even begin to describe how much I dislike Rio Grande. Maybe I’m spoiled, having grown up in Colorado and visiting often after having moved to Morgantown, but this doesn’t even pass for Mexican food. Really, the only thing that Rio has going for it is that it appears authentic, the food is cheap, and the margaritas come in big pitchers. I eat Mexican food because I like the taste, though, and for what it’s worth, I’d rather make it myself than ever eat here again.

I have had many good times here! Great food margaritas rock here. My fav is chicken burritos cheesy goodness. When I make it back to my home town there I always hit rio up. Alex is a great waiter my husband thinks he is like speedy gonzals. They are attentive and love their customers. Bathrooms always clean. Lots of tables. Great bar with smoking on this side till the law changes. You are guaranteed to share great times, drinks, and yummy food!

I try to make Rio a stop when I’m in Morgantown. The enchiladas and fajitas are the menu standouts. I’m a fan of the Vegetarian #5 as well. The service here is super fast and they pour a strong margarita.
If you’re expecting authentic Mexican food this might not be your place. A previous reviewer complained about their guacamole but it says on the menu «guacamole dip» which if I saw on a menu I’d expect there to be sour cream in it… especially for under $ 4.00. I’ve never seen ketchup in the salsa either. I’m headed there tomorrow and will update if ketchup appears.
This is greasy cheesy deliciousness in large portions. I’m a fan.
