Rio’s

Delicious! The food and service were both exceptional. Don’t bother with the sangria… not good at all. The soup, appetizer, and steak and ravioli dishes we had were outstanding. And the bread and chimichurri… wow!

Went out with my co-​workers for lunch. Our server gave the check to the wrong person at the table when we specifically told her who to give it to. (Yikes! Talk about embarrassing,) it’s not like the check was placed in front of her, no it was handed to her.
The food was outstanding.

Delicious and extensive menu of South American dishes. Amazing drink/​wine menu (lots off variety and craft cocktails). Very impressed with the outdoor seating/​patio and décor inside the restaurant as well. Just a little on the pricier side.

Rio’s is a breath of fresh air. The owners are wonderful and the menu has enough variety and uniqueness for even the pickiest eaters. I love the atmosphere, the food along with this takes you away to another place. The appetizers and dishes are well portioned and taste outstanding. I have dined here a handful of times and always here for my birthday. Great job Rio’s!

Ok food, excellent service, but the best thing about rios are the drinks. They made them nice and strong. It could just be the particular bartender we had, but hope it is the same the next time we dine here. We started with the humitas de pollo which was light but very flavorful. We split the pollo a labrasa, which was dry, and the house fried rice, which was definitely our favorite. Lots of steak and shrimp in there. One disappointment, the home fried potatoes that came with the chicken were just generic French fries. Highlights were the drinks and the service, they made the food seem all that much better. Probably go back at least for drinks.

The restaurant is a gem in Addison, I came here a lot of time and happy with each time visit, God job RIO

Cozy restaurant with nice décor and huge portions! Their menus have few pictures for some of their signature dishes, but looks can and will be deceiving!
Ordered the Pervivan Sampler which included chicken skewers (so tender), ceviche (also good), Papa a la huancaina (boiled potatoes in creamy sauce) and Peruvian tamales. Favorite was the Ceviche and the skewers for sure. Even the appetizer portions were huge and we (2 people) didn’t get to finish all the items.
Main course was spicy seafood fettuccine (HUGE PORTION) that was full of mussels, octopus, shrimp, squid, scallops and clams. It was nicely prepared, and loved the hint of spiciness. Italian dish with South American flair. Love it! Especially for 23 dollars, it was a steal! My lovely date ordered the Seafood rice which she couldn’t finish also.
We didn’t get to try any of the specialty cocktails since we were going to the shooting range after, but I definitely see myself coming here again!

Great food, plates are a good size and location is good. This place is great I’d likely repeat if I’m in the area again.

So yummy and tasty! We went with a group of 29 and they offered to do family style. We ordered several fish/​chix dishes. The service and food was fabulous! The restaurant décor /​ambience was great too.

Food and service fantastic! Mmmmm on the Bruschetta. Today I tried the steak and ravioli with pesto and it was great. Love this place!

This was our second visit to Rio’s and our last as both experiences were disappointing. The menu is indeed a wide one with a variety of choices, but each of ours was again relatively flavorless (for Latin cuisine) with the beef selections being «chewy.» High point was the house salad with fresh ingredients and a terrific dressing. Malbec prices were reasonable as was the selection.
Perhaps most annoying was the attitude of the server, Mariah. Whatever happened to the common courtesy of waiting until dining guests were NOT talking among themselves before speaking? Our party was interrupted each time she came to the table. Manners trump efficiency. One of our party requested a separate check which she forgot.
Try Tango Sur in the city.

The food was very good. I had the lomo salteado and the beef was very tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the appetizer sampler which had anticuchos de pollo, a tamal, some ceviche, and another dish that escapes me. The ceviche was spot on Peruvian ceviche. The anticuchos were very well seasoned and cooked. The tamal left something to be desired. The portions were enormous so we had enough for about two more meals. We would go there again, although it’s a bit pricey.

My other half arranged a nice valentine’s dinner here. It was a price fixed menu with two offerings. They serve a nice toasted pita with chimchurri sauce, very excellent. The salad and house dressing were out of this world and no doubt the best part of the meal. The main course included a baby lobster tail and mine was completely overcooked and downright mushy.
Where this meal failed in my opinion is the fixed menu included dessert but did not provide or allow for any choice. They served a coconut flan and I am allergic to coconut. When I brought this to the attention of the waiter, he went on to tell me how he never eats dessert. Hmm. I was really hoping for a substitution.

First time is a winner! We have been meaning to try Rio’s for many months now and finally made a date for a small celebration.
To start out our hostess was very friendly and helpful. Too bad I don’t recall her name as I would love to give her some accolades. The ambience is warm and inviting. The music is a great mix of old and new South American. I loved hearing Astor Piazzolla in the mix.
We had appetizers, a seafood feast and even made it to desert. We are planning our next visit already so we can try more from the menu. Our server, Moriah was great and also helpful in picking out the meals. This place is a gem!

Hands down one of the best meals I have ever had! Don’t let the lack of people make you nervous because the tasty food really makes up for it. We arrived around 3:30pm on a Sunday and were the only people for about an hour before two other couples arrived. Food gets 5 stars but the ambiance due to the lack of people gets 4 stars.
We got the two dishes that the waiter recommended which were RIO’S CHAFA ESPECIAL SALTADO (fried rice with beef & shrimp) and RAVIOLES RELLANOS ENCIMADOS EN PESTO BIFE DE CHORIZO (garlic stuff steak with pesto spinach stuffed ravioli). Both were phenomenal and huge portions that were enough to share and still have enough to bring home for a meal the next day. The fried rice was our favorite and a definite must if this is your first time!

Went here with a large group of coworkers (15) after a company event. The portion sizes are GIGANTIC. The food was delicious we had the appetizer sampler (loved the tamale), chicken skewers (perfection). I ordered a gigantic plate of rice, chicken with a fried egg on top — if you put egg on top of anything it rocks. The lasagna was delish. For desert they ordered a gooey cake thing w/​ice cream… need I say more. Menu has a lot of pictures so you can see what you’re ordering.
Service was great for our large group, we had 2 waiters who took care of everything and were very nice/​patient. They answered questions about the food and made recommendations.
They have pretty cool drinks on their drink menu and if you CHECK IN you get a free drink/​shot. $ 15−30/pp. You can easily split an entrée.
Décor/​ambiance was very nice, I really enjoyed the bar/​dining fancy casual thing they set up. Also they have a display of llamas — just a heads up.
This place was great and I would recommend.

Rio’s is hands down the best restaurant in Addison. I’ve been there a good number of times since they’ve opened with friends and family, the food and service is always amazing!
The lunch specials are really reasonably priced especially considering how big the portions are, definitely beats going anywhere else! The El Guacho skirt steak sandwich is my personal favorite. It comes topped with cheese and avocado, so delicious!
If you stop by for dinner you absolutely have to get the Bön Bones, Tamales and the Anticuchos for starters, and the Parrillada Casera steak as an entrée. Plus the mojitos are a personal favorite from the bar.
All around you can’t go wrong with Rio’s Addison! They’re the best!

I thought the food at Rios was decent, our service was decent. Nothing stood out.
My glass of sangria was meh. There tallarines verde con bife (fettuccine mixed in a Peruvian pesto sauce served with strip steak) was decent. The meat was cooked nicely, however, the pesto sauce was a bit salty for me. You definitely can’t go wrong with fried yuca so we enjoyed that and my friend got the chicken skewers that she liked.
Overall, an A-​OK meal.

I’m a little bit in love with Rios. Everything all around was great.
We went on a Thursday night — it was not busy, and although we made a reservation we really didn’t need one. I love the atmosphere — modern, relaxing, and quiet. I ordered a Pisco Sour (you get one for ½ off with a check-​in on Unilocal). It was so good! My friends enjoyed their martinis as well.
The menu is extensive and has some very different items. Everything has pictures, which I love. Our waiter was really nice and attentive throughout the whole service. He went through the menu and explained everything to us. It was so hard to choose what we wanted. We ended up ordering a few different items. I ordered the ceviche de los 3 ajís. So good! The pita bread with 2 dips that you get at the beginning of the meal is super addictive too. Everyone enjoyed what they had. I thought the pricing was pretty comparable to other places.
Overall, really great. I would definitely come back again! In fact, we already made plans to come back!

Great meal. The menu is filled with pictures which compelled us to over indulge. We learned the hard way portions are generous so we brought a good bit home too.
As a light weight, I appreciated the Pisco sour but suspect but my «thirsty» dining companion did too. I also tried a specialty cocktail and it was good as well.
All other aspects of the dining experience were great as well. Loved the décor, especially the Llamas.
One could not have asked for better service. It was spectacular. Our waiter was more personable, attentive and enthusiastic server than one could ever imagine.
I will definitely return and know if you check it out you will be pleased.
