Did you know that Rio has a scratch kitchen? Every dish is crafted with care—from sourcing the freshest ingredients to preparing them in-house.

Take our Chile Rellenos, for example. Prepared with a house-roasted Chile and the perfect blend of skill, pride, and love. No shortcuts, just brilliance in the basics!

Stop by for some happy hour drinks & margs today!

Did you know our frozen margarita machines have a secret past? Back in '86, our owner, Pat McGaughran, got creative with a broken soft-serve ice cream machine, transforming it into Fort Collins' first-ever frozen margarita dispenser, which introduced the notorious Classic Rio Margarita!

Fun Fact: Did you know that Mezcal isn't traditionally served in shot glasses? Enter the Copita—a shallow clay cup that lets you savor every smoky note up close. It's not just a drink; it's an experience.

Rio Grande is celebrating Harvest Fest! From now through September 1, guests can enjoy seasonal delights:

· Elote: Mexican street corn featuring local Colorado corn

· Strawberries and Cream: a spin on the popular Mexican dessert Carlota ????

Craving a cool, summer sipper? Meet the Ranch Water – the Texan classic making waves nationwide. Topo Chico mineral water blended with blanco tequila, garnished with a salt rim and lime. Pure refreshment!

It’s soup season, amigos! Warm up your day with our famous, house-made Green Chile Soup. Made with fresh green chiles, sautéed chicken, and rich house-made chicken broth. Pair it with warm flour or corn tortillas, and you’ve got the ultimate cold-weather cure.

Discover fresh salsas, crafted in-house every morning because bold flavors begin with the freshest ingredients. Can't decide? Enjoy all three with our Salsa Sampler: Classic Green, Smoky Morita, and fiery Atómica.

Some dishes don’t just happen… they’re crafted with skill, care, and love. From a quick fryer bath to the grill, every chile is peeled, stuffed, and battered by hand. Whether fried to golden perfection or baked just right, our Rellenos are made from scratch, every single step. Craving more? Call ahead for a tray or fried or “take-and-bake” Chile Rellenos!

We’ve struck gold… and it tastes like tequila.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Green Margaritas are still pouring at The Rio, so consider this your lucky charm. Grab a glass and celebrate!

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the incredible women of Rio! They bring the energy, passion, and dedication to everything they do.

And lucky for you, the Rio’s patio delivers all three. Whether you’re here for snacks sips, or chasing that golden-hour glow.... we’ve got your seat waiting. Happy Spring! ????????

Spotted: a Rio legend behind the wheel of a Rio legend! ????

That’s Pat, our founder & owner, taking Petey for a cruise. Petey’s our beloved ’66 Chevy truck, known for his signature neon glow. ????

Petey has been part of the Rio family for over 30 years and got a well-deserved makeover last year to keep him shining bright.

If you see them out in the wild, wave hello, snap a photo, and maybe follow them to the closest Rio or margarita. ???? ????

Tequila tastes better when it’s good for the planet. ???????? Thanks to our partner @josecuervotequila, here’s how tequila production is becoming more sustainable:

????Agave byproduct turned into compost, paper, bricks, fabrics, car parts & even surfboards!

????Biodegradable agave straws (yes, the ones in your Rio Margaritas!)

????Cuervo processes 100% of their wastewater and reuses it to support tequila production.

????Renewable energy powers Cuervo distilleries.
