Los Rios

We’ve been looking for a go-​to low key cheap Mexican place to go to and we finally found it. Don’t go here expecting a culinary experience. Go here if you’re craving cheese dip, tacos and quesadillas. They have a full bar and tvs spread around. We went on a Wednesday night and they also had a three piece band going around to each table for requests, be sure to tip them, they’re quite entertaining. The food is 3 stars, service 4 stars, parking 4 stars and entertainment 4 stars. Overall 4 stars if going here with right expectations

This place is awesome. You can’t find a better non-​cantina Mexican joint. Honestly, it’s better than most cantina joints AKA don’t waste your time and money going to Tacos and Tequilas. If you go on a Friday or Saturday, either go early or plan to wait up to an hour, this place gets busy!

Best Mexican in Cumming. Part of a run down strip mall. Good cheese dip, solid entrees, price is right. It’s a winner.

I am a big fan of Mexican, the price and the taste is enough to make this place a great place to go, the fajita grilled chicken is delicious. Salsa is not any thing special but does taste good. The staff is good and the place is always crowded.

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was open a little later and this was the closest place to us. I LOVED that they left an entire pitcher of salsa at the table! Thank you! We shared one order of fajitas and were completely shocked at the amount of food we received. WAY more than expected! The margaritas were decent and cheap. Overall, we were pleased with the speediness of service & cost.

Love their food (I always get the Texas fajitas). And the service is great. The atmosphere is awesome. They only need to improve on the margaritas

The food is great. The service is great. But the atmosphere! There was a table to table mariachi band on a Wednesday night! This place is the best there is. You’d have to be insanely unreasonable to have a bad experience here. Ive been coming since they were El Rio. The food is always the same standard. It is perfectly priced for working families. If you want snobby expensive Mexican food, served on a glass plate; this is not your place. This is a local place. A family place. An average working American place.

I absolutely love Los Rios! They are always very quick with their food and it always tastes good! I will keep going back!!!

I’m only talking about the food when rate this.
I had ground beef nachos with were supposed to include melted cheese, right? Instead what I got were tortilla chips, ground beef (I’ll talk about this more), a dollop of sour cream and lots of guacamole (more on this).
About the ground beef; let me say it had a very odd flavor, much like canned dog food smells, and it wasn’t seasoned at all. No garlic, no cumin, maybe salt, and no pepper. It was sorta smooth, not crumbly like ground beef always is. My husband tasted my nachos and says «that’s not ground beef!»
For the guacamole; again, no flavor. Lemme say if I had gotten just plain mashed avocados I could have added some salsa to it to pizzazz it up. But no, they used unripe avocados which can’t be corrected in anyway to cover up the bitter aweful taste.
I don’t know about the folks who rate this place as anything over a 2*. This was the poorest excuse for Mexican food I’ve ever tasted. I didn’t rate a 1* as the service and waitress were good.

This place is still going strong and has only gotten better! They expanded the dining room so there’s a lot of tables now (but it still fills up). Still great food and great service, the staff there is wonderful and really works like a family. We love sitting at the bar and chatting with everyone, and they make us feel very welcome. Highly recommended for a great meal out.

We are here now and the food is superb! Authentic Mexican food! Everything very tasty! Will come again! !!

This place has fast service and good food. They bring out a pitcher of salsa as soon as you sit down.

The food is great and service is fast and wonderful. I would recommend the Texas fajitas or quesadillas.

Great, fast, and friendly. Nice environment and not too loud. I eat there frequently on Sunday afternoons. Eat with a medium group and it’s quick and not too busy.

This place is great! They are reasonably priced and very quick with your food. They have the best Chile rellenos and their house margaritas are awesome and cheap! I’m pretty sure they also never use a microwave unlike Mexican restaurants I’ve been to recently whose food was cold in the middle. Their staff is always courteous and on top of their game so to speak, you never run out of your drink or chips or salsa. I wish they’d put one around Bethelview so I didn’t have to fight the traffic on the square to get to them. But that’s my only complaint!

They make it easy to be a fan.
Homemade corn tortillas. Honestly I could stop here. This isn’t close to the norm in Cumming. So much yum.
Cheap, tasty, strong margaritas.
Great salsa, and LOTS of it.
Great service.
Inexpensive.
Yum fajitas.
Good queso.
I can’t believe I waited as long as I did to try this place!

The service was very good and attentive even though he refilled my tea with diet coke. The prices were very cheap but when they brought out our tacos we saw why. There was hardly any product inside of them. I guess you can sell it cheap if you’re actually not giving the clients any food. We only spent 17 bucks there but it’s the last 17 bucks we’ll spend there.

This is our Go To Mexican place in Cumming, GA. We’ve tried most of the other Mexican places in the area and this is the best… although I wouldn’t have said that just by judging from the outward appearance. The food is wonderful every time and the prices are really great too. We usually get our meals, a coke and margarita for around $ 20 bucks. The service is really fast too. 99% of the times we have been there, we had our meals on the table within about 5 minutes after ordering. This will definitely continue to be a staple for us for a busy night when cooking is not an option.

Great food very reasonable prices. The white cheese sauce on the nachos is delicious. Stephanie our server was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place. And also try Bello Italian down the street behind the movie theater. That’s where I work.

This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. The menu is typical of a standard Mexican place but with a little better quality food. We’ve eaten here a number of times and haven’t gotten one of those «Keep it warm until someone buys it» type of plates. They have a bar area and frequently have live entertainment. If you are looking for standard Mexican, this is a pretty good stop.
