Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant

This is the place to go for some of the greatest Mexican food in Wiggins. The staff will treat you like family. They make sure your meal needs are met, and will check on you regularly.
On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 12.

The food was great. The service was amazing, we loved our waitress. We came in 45 minutes to close and our food was hot and they didn't rush us. Great time overall. I just wish the cheese dip wasn't thin but we did come in right before close. We will definitely be back!

I would have made this 5 stars, but I felt to actual food you were paying for wasn't there. I was there Feb. 12, 2022, about 4:00 PM, and ordered the Michoacan Steak ($18.99). You got a very thin, small Ribeye on a plate of a very large quantity of sautéed onions, 2 pieces of green bell pepper, and I think 2 pieces of tomato, and 4 shrimp and cheese. The steak and shrimp were well prepared and very tasty, but for the quantity you got it was not worth the price you had to pay.

This place is probably better than the 3 stars I gave. We've been there a few times now and each visit has been better than the prior. After our first visit, which was shortly after their opening, I really had no desire to go back. The food was presented very well, but was really lacking flavor. We waited a couple months before going back and I'm glad we did. The food on the second visit was still a little inconsistent. The main course was excellent, but the rice was still bland and the salsa was more like tomato juice.
On our third visit they nailed it. Everything was excellent. The salsa was like salsa, the rice and beans had great flavor, and the main dishes were excellent as well. If they can just get consistent, I would give them 4 stars. I would say 5, but for me I really want to hold on the the 5 stars for truly exceptional experiences.

Have to add though that the service has been excellent every visit. I also really like the decore. They did a really nice job with it. I wouldn't mind a margarita on the patio either.
