    As you can see I come here often. Lol. I love the margaritas, the food, the atmosphere, and my waiter and or waitress. This day was drinks only. FYI, Thursday's are $5.00 margaritas. Not all but most of them. You can thank me later. 😜

    This was our first time at Rio Mambo and I was so impressed! For years my husband and I kept saying we should try it, and finally we did, the atmosphere was so nice and the food was amazing. The staff were very attentive including the manager Jody. We will bring our whole family here.

    Great experience as always, only docked a star as the beer was warm, not sure if the cooler was down or they were just recently stocked. Server was extremely friendly and kept the chips and salsa coming, frozen beach daiquiri was amazing. Great little spot at a booth in the bar section. Will continue to come here although it looks like it's due for a remodel in the future.

    Good experience this time. The food was great. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and down to earth. She was great at remembering our order and suggested items that went well with our meals. Good job.

    Visiting the area from Houston and decided to give this restaurant a try. We were beyond happy. The food is delicious. The environment is relaxed and comfortable. Our waiter was amazing. Very polite and attentive. We found out that it was his first day and we were his first customers. His service was easily 5 stars. If the rest of the staff is as good as him, this restaurant should stay in business for eternity. Looking at the receipt, the waiter is Gustavo T. My husband and I are “foodies” and we recommend Rio Mambo. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Ask for Gustavo!

    Our dinning here was looking like it was going to be a mess. We sat down and waited for almost 15 mins before the manager noticed we were being ignored. He came to set up a table and observed us. All the servers passed us no one acknowledged us. I was about to think race was an issue. But, we got the best waitress ever, Cynthia thank you for making our first experience great. You are just a delight, you're very personable. Cynthia was serving in the front, we were seated in the back, she came with enthusiasm and a great smile. Thanks Cynthia.

    My son chose this restaurant for his birthday and he did WELL. Another reason to love him lol. We LOVE Mexican food and had never tried here but time we walked in we knew right away we had walked into somewhere special. The hostess that greeted us was enthusiastic and I wish I remembered our server's name but she was such an asset to the company and made us feel really like we were right at home. AMAZING service. The food was as it looks on the pictures. SCRUMPTIOUS! My son and I had to stop each other from looking like hillbillies scarfing down our food like the last meal smh. Can't wait to go back.

    This was a great place to pop in and out of. The service was exceptional by Rosia! It was definitely the fastest food service I've experienced at a restaurant. The food was pretty good, and the drinks were strong & delicious.

    Stylish Tex-Mex with a flair for 9/11 because of the connected bar plus pictures honoring and remembering 9/11 and first responders. Our wait staff was attentive but not overbearing., you didn’t get the idea that they were overworking the table to get a larger tip. Much appreciated. I enjoyed the decor and the kewl different food items. Since this was my first time, I had my usual so I could compare with other Text-Mex restaurants. I’d say food was above average, but when added to the decor… you’ll love it, like I did.

    Great food and fast service. Wish that vegetable fajitas had more mushrooms. Overall great place and the meal was good. Food was extra hot in temperature no complaints at all.

    I loved the atmosphere. First time dinning here. I wanted to try so many of the entrees so but landed on the Bo Leo's plate which had a variety of enchiladas. I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. Drinks were great too. I will definitely dine there again!

    I went to Rio Mambo yesterday and the food was amazing. I ordered bacon covered shrimp (I think it’s called Canarones Alambre on the menu, but I’m not sure), and it was AMAZING. Then for desert I got the Chimichanga Cheesecake. Also AMAZING. 5 stars for the service and food.

    A friend and I checked out this place. Both the service and the food were great. We both got the Bo Leo’s Plate, which is 3 different enchiladas, a tamale and a taco, with rice and beans. The only miss was the beans. They were very watery. We both thought the taco was the star because the seasoned meat was so good.

    Olivia E is a very nice and great waitress. She informed me of the different items on the large menu. She recommended to me the Holbrooks (cheese enchilada topped with two eggs, beef/chicken, avocado, rice and beans). It was delicious - the beef and chicken were so tender. Will be back for sure. There is a slight kick to the salsa, but not too much heat.

    I have been dining at Rio Mambo in City Center for many years. My server is almost always Ramiro, because I usually meet my parents and they insist he be our server. He is family now to us gringos!! He is courteous, very pleasant, attentive, and always hustling. He makes our dining experience superb!!! Rick Yoder

    The food was delicious. The margarita was tasty and strong. The service was good. They have a good balance of being attentive yet letting your party have time to talk and eat without much interruption. They have a spicy salsa (green) that is wonderful, you just have to ask for it. They let you order from their brunch menu any day of the week which is also awesome. Working nights, I still get to have breakfast while others can have dinner.

    Alejandra the bartender is an asset to your restaurant! She took a good experience and made it a memorable every time we go. She is kind, sweet, genuine, and exceptional great at her job. Thank you Alejandra for everything! We will be back as always! :)

    We chose to try Rio Mambo after searching online / comparing prices. We ordered spinach enchiladas (left ) and chicken enchiladas with tomatillo. The service , food , complimentary chips & salsa - all was great and delicious . My only “complaint”? Is that the prices on their website do not reflect their current prices . We were going to try it because for lunch - the prices were very reasonable . Was surprised when we arrived & were given a menu that had higher pricing - averaging $2.- $3, more per dish . Again - it was very good and we are glad to have tried this restaurant ! Would recommend to anyone

    Never a bad experience except this last time ordering food to be picked up. Just be sure and have your order checked before leaving the restaurant. Got home and one order was completely wrong despite the correct online input order. Wanted cheese enchiladas instead i got all three spinach - disappointing.

    Food was delicious. Drinks were strong. Service was… lethargic, probably stoned actually, lol, but got the job done. I had the tacos chinos—shrimp and veggie lettuce wraps. They were good except they were drenched in butter. I mean kind of defeats the purpose of lettuce. The aftermath is evidenced below. 😳

    Saturday lunch date on 6/24 and had never been here before. I absolutely loved everything here. I will say, walking in, it did smell like fish...for a min I thought I was at a sushi place. Service was outstanding! Tried the margarita flight and they were pretty good but nothing outstanding. Salsa was fresh and delicious. Spinach enchiladas were delicious and the chicken quesadilla was huge. All in all a good restaurant. Will def be back.

    My husband and I have been eating here for over 10 yrs. Luis, Juan are the greatest. They are always taking care of me and my Gluten allergy. Araceli is a great waitress . I would and do bring friends and family. Great Food!

    Rio Mambo (Ft Worth branch) is my go-to restaurant when family/friends visit. My most recent experience was a take-out order for a party of 6 for lunch. One of the managers, Tanya, helped me so much, explaining the different choices I had, and ensuring my order was perfect. The food was delicious, the frozen margaritas are still being talked about ;) , and I was credited for having made an excellent choice - Rio Mambo - for our luncheon. The owner is an absolutely wonderful man who clearly loves what he does, and takes care of his customers and his staff, all of whom are enthusiastic and take pride in delivering second-to-none customer service. I am a fan for life and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a fantastic experience. Rio Mambo...yay!!

    Good Mexican food with a diverse menu. We enjoy eating here on a fairly regular basis. My only complaint is that it can get a little loud on a busy night.

  • 5/5 Glen M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Everything top to bottom was excellent. Atmosphere was great, restaurant was clean, food was amazing, and it came out in a timely manner. Our sever, Roy, was fantastic! Literally nothing negative to say about this experience.

  • 5/5 Kimberly P. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place! We've been coming here for over 20 years. Juan Carbajal, the manager is fantastic. He is service oriented and aims to please always. He also has been a presence in the community. We come here for the gluten free options. The chips are gluten free and there is a specific prep area and fryer for gluten free. Our regular server is Audrey. She is the best! Can't say enough here. Positive vibes!!!!

  • 5/5 Kathy S. 1 year ago on Google
    We really enjoyed the atmosphere here! Our waiter Jose did a great job. He was very professional and attentive. Our food came out on time and was very delicious. Lou the manager came to check on us and was very nice and friendly. We would definitely be coming back!!

    My husband and I had a fantastic dinner. Our server Javier was the best we ever had!! He made sure our drinks were filled and took our plates and offered dessert. We loved the ambiance and atmosphere of this place and it was very clean as well!! The manager was also very attentive as we dined in the patio.
