Rio Grande Bar & Grille

Had the carne Asada nachos which had skinny strips of unseasoned steak and barely any cheese with chips which wasn’t worth the price at all. Tried guacamole which was more like pico with avocado added. Which I don’t consider guacamole. Had a sweet flavor which I like mine more salty.

The service was absolutely horrible! I went there for lunch and there were only 2 other groups there. It took them an hour to get our food out to us. That’s after the fact that it took about 30 minutes for them to just get our drinks out to us. The food was cold and the cheese dip was super chunky. I got chicken, cheese, and rice and my chicken was almost powdery. The chips were soggy and rubbery. My friend’s steak was all fat, and the tortillas were too thin. The only good thing about this place, is that the restaurant was clean. I probably won’t be back any time soon.

This one of the best mexican restaurant in Southaven, ms. Great drinks, great food n service are best n people real friendly definitely will visit again.

I dropped in here for lunch with a coworker with a bogo lunch option coupon. We got there around 11:30 and it was completely empty but they were already out of tamales… I’m really sad that they didn’t have any but I managed to try something new instead. He and I both ended up ordering the Grilled Shrimp Quesadilla with Chorizo. It was a unique option that I have never seen anywhere else.
The salsa was bland and normal but ok but the rice and beans were just not good. Buuuut the quesadilla was great! My only problem with it was that I forgot chorizo doesn’t settle well on my stomach (it’s been awhile since I had it and it’s super greasy) so my tummy was rumbly all day. But it tasted really really good so if you don’t have a sensitive tummy like I do then definitely give it a go!
Note: They have a coupon in the Memphis Entertainment 2014 Coupon Book.

This was already the most authentic Mexican restaurant I’ve found around Memphis, and it’s comparable to the local, mom and pop joints I frequent in Monterey and Puebla, Mexico. I couldn’t wait for dinner today, and I get a nice surprise when I show up – $.99 margaritas all day. I love this place!

I have been a loyal customer of Rio Grande for several years. The restaurant was everything one would expect from a Mexican restaurant — with an extra touch of freshness and perfection. It was a five of five star establishment. On 7÷1÷14, I made my first and last visit under its new ownership. The chips were not crispy, the cilantro in the salsa was improperly diced (huge chucks of leaves and stems), the steak in my taco was mostly charred fat and grease, and the beans lacked seasoning (obviously heated and served from a can). After two hours, I left the restaurant hungrier than when I arrived. Since the cashier snatched my credit card and ticket from my hand while continuing a conversation on her cell phone without giving me the opportunity to express my displeasure, I suppose I will dispute the charge once my statement arrives. It is my understanding that this place will change its name soon. I had hoped it was merely a bad night for the new owners (I was willing to accept the issues with the kitchen). However, the casher/manager’s actions prove the place has no hope and does not deserve a second chance.

Wow… great that people got to eat. I went in, got a coke… waited. waited. Waited. It was dinner time. So I dropped a couple dollars and left. Was there 15+ minutes. No menu. No chips. No service. Plus all the TV’s were on Spanish stations. I like futbol. But can we have at least one on sports center?
I’ll try again

The chips a real fan and the salsa is very tasty and fresh! We had the veggie fajitas and the lunch special with two tostadas and it was all wonderful! The price was right!!! The Service was impeccable!
