Great food and athomosphere. Friendly owners and staff
Decided to try this restaurant a couple months ago. So good have been back several times. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. The fajitas are awesome. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. One of our favorite restaurants now.
Great food very reasonable prices friendly staff .
The food here is great and they give you a good amount you won’t be able to eat it all at once 👍 it’s a great place I love them best Spanish food around!
Ive been looking at the El Rio menu for a while now and finally decided to try it. Sad to say that it was a disappointment. The Empanadas are not hand made, and the Cuban sandwich had a weird sweet flavor and no pickles! The Pork Tostadas were OK. Kind of pricey too.
The food is phenomenal! The Volcano shrimp is excellent as is the sauteed red snapper. The chicken satay appetizer is so tasty. The rice and beans with garlic sauce is delicious. Not to mention Monday through Thursday happy hour 2 for 1 specials,.. The margaritas are well made. The owner takes pride in his restaurant and it is super clean!!
The food here is great! Very tasty but i only give 3 stars because the price range is misleading with only 2 $$. This place is wayyyy over priced for the portion you receive. Their huge burrito can be eaten in 2 bites and looks like a kids meal. It comes with a side of French fries and i kid you not, there was 8 French fries on the side. It took me about 3 minutes to eat my entire dinner burrito and side of fries that cost me 15 bucks. Their meal combos, same thing. Extremely petite w 1 small scoop of rice and 1 small scoop of beans. These meals are all around 12 to 15 dollars mind you. And lastly, the girl who always answers the phone / works the counter is very sweet and very friendly but speaks very broken English which to me is strange and frustrating that the person with whom the restaurant has in contact with the public doesnt speak the language of the people that would be ordering food there.-Friendly, delicious, small portions, dont expect to spend less than 40 dollars for 2 people to eat TAKE OUT (Eating in will be more expensive) and maybe some of you ladies will feel satisfied after eating your meal but dont expect your husband to be full after dropping 40 bucks for the 2 of you to eat.-Eating in with drink and tip would end up being in the 60 dollar range..for 2 people and small portion size, thats a lot of money.
Came for dinner and a couple of drinks no one was in the place. Ordered a margarita thinking it was Happy Hour which would have been 2 for 1. I found out the one Margarita was over $10. Even if it was 2 for 1 it would have been too much for such a small drink. I paid and left and will not be returning anytime soon. The owner knows I have been there before and that I have brought others there for lunches and dinner but I guess he would rather overcharge for drinks.
Great quality food, great friendly family atmosphere, super quick service with knowledgeable staff. I was personally blown away by the presentation and flavor of the burger and burritos. I love that everything is fresh and homemade, My personal new favorite restaurant in town, very clean and the food is out of this world. A must go if you are in the centereach area. 5 stars all around
Had the worst experience with door dash brought me the wrong order. Manager of El Rio was very attentive and took care of my order and had his delivery driver bring my fresh correct delicious order the driver was polite and greeted me with a smile. Highly recommend the molcajete! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did not honor their coupon on their website. Said no. Manager said no. Did not even speak to us about it. Just said no. False advertising. How could you put 20 percent on your website and then not honor it... Take it off your website then....
Over priced for the Quality of food , poor ingredients rice from the box beans from a can. Disappointed . Service was great waitress was awesome. Give it two stars for the waitress and service. food negative -00000

Love love love El Rio ! Live close by and never have any complaints .. great food & drinks , great prices, and always excellent service.
During the pandemic they have a full bar and resteraunt no distancing. Decided not to go in and make an order.
Ordered 4 first time and last. Chicken quesadilla was the worst I ever had and it is not cheap. Also ordered salmon which was overly cooked. Also not cheap.
Excellent Mexican food. Nice ambience. Wait staff super chill.

Very Good
Low quality food
The molcajete is the best!!!
Food is delicious
The food at the place is very tasty, the atmosphere is not very familiar, its more like a bar, Ive been there twice and there are always men alone at the bar drinking beers but its a good place to eat.
Delicious food I have eaten a little bit of everything all very tasty
If the food did not like it is no problem there are different tastes .... but everyone has his life and nobody tells him how to live it or if?
I love that you are adding more dishes to your menu, all very delicious
Good place to have a good time and very good food😋🤩

2022-05-19Horrible. Margarita was just mixer with no tequila. The nachos were not mixed, the chicken was a microwaved purdue chicken. And it was gross and overpriced. I will never return and deter anyone who talks about it

2021-08-22While I havent been to the restaurant itself we ordered food for delivery and it was excellent. The burritos had nice grill marks, their take on guacamole was different and amazing, their salsas were top notch. Highly recommended.
