Denver WestwordJuly 23, 2013The Rio continues to be a favorite place for hangover-inducing margaritas and boisterous company- in fact, the house margarita is so potent, a three-drink minimum is imposed on anyone who dares to try
Lauren TurnerNovember 19, 2017Best rooftop bar in Boulder! Always a great spot to hang out and the food is really good. I love their steak quesadilla and the chicken enchiladas. Get a manberry margarita.Upvoted Jan 27
Favorite roof top in Boulder, awesome for summer drinks , chips and salsa. Strong margs. Order on the rocks, light on the rocks...you will get more of the marg goodness. Food is okay.
Morgan TalbotJune 4, 2015Delicious tacos and to die for margaritas. Everything is made so fresh! Sit on the rooftop and watch the sun go down!
The food IS actually pretty awesome, step out side your comfort zone and try something you wouldn't normally, or ask your server for suggestions... they eat here a lot.
Nathalie De ClercqOctober 16, 2014One of the best tortilla soups I've ever had! Chunky veges, loved it. Wonderful staff, great, happy experience all around!
Robyn ÉireSeptember 6, 2022Margaritas are great as is the food but the ID checking is a bit ridiculous; I’m nearly 40 and they won’t serve us cause I left my ID at the hotel. Bit of common sense would make a difference here.
Christina ClarissaFebruary 27, 2013Order strawberry margarita or mix it with mango.They are the best.So good that sometimes I forget my way home
Stefan D.May 4, 2015Definitely get a margarita! If your almost done with it, get another one. Seriously they are pretty good here!
Love the steak burrito, smothered with green chili. Better deal than the quesadilla!- NatalieJuly 28, 2015Check out the rooftop bar! Their margaritas are delicious but dangerously strong.
I like the queso del mar! Tortillas, cheese, and seafood. It's an appetizer but I think it's a great meal for 1.
Cassie StewartAugust 12, 2014Order a Big Tex instead of the house marg. Real lime juice instead of mix makes it awesome and not overly sweet.
Monti BraySeptember 20, 2014Margs for days here. Check out the rooftop upstairs for amazing views of Boulder.
Free rooftop yoga every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the summer. Followed by a free mini margarita!
Matt KaskavitchApril 26, 2014The food here is awful. It's your typical "American" Mexican food, and even that is poorly executed. If you think this place has great food, you need to get out more.
Megan SmithSeptember 1, 2011The Margs are delicious and effective! Try the deluxe queso appetizer, yum!
coin style margs are legit. my new favorite meal is the adobo ckn tacos!!- Contrary to popular belief, the house Margarita is straight crap. Too much mix, not enough awesome. Stick to the Big Tex or frozen Man-Berry.
- The traditional margarita will get you looped but they aren't so good. Stick with the Big Tex.
Sit on the roof, get a margarita or three, soak up the view of the Flatirons.
💋 Jamie DollApril 2, 2011The grilled veggie fajitas & mango margaritas are yummy. Pass on the queso though. It's a little plain.
Off The QuadMarch 28, 2011You'll be reliving Mexico spring break after a few of these margs (hence, the three drink limit). Blended strawberry, por favor!
Cooper SmithAugust 20, 2012I like to think of their 2 margarita limit as more of a polite suggestion than a hard-and-fast rule.
Ef RodriguezJanuary 15, 2012Check the bathrooms for hidden wizards. They'll say they're just for decoration, but they're just lookin' for a duel.
Ask for the old fashioned big tex. same price, better alcohol

- Boone Moocher-PogueFebruary 21, 2014Ballin'! So who's taking me out to eat here? Drinks on you, duder.
- If you're waiting for over 15 mins. this place isn't worth it. Drive out to Efrain's on 55th and Arapahoe for some quality food.
- Drink three Margaritas and you receive a free Ricky! Offer valid only on Fridays
