The Republic of the Rio Grande

Best margarita and fries I’ve had in the valley. Burger is a tremendous value. It’s a delicious meal and it fills you up for hours. Service was fine. It’s a returnable spot and I already know what I’m getting when I come back next. Their live music starts nightly at 8:30.

I had come here for an evening of dinner and music. When asked to be seated I asked for a table outside, where the band was set up, to which I was told that none were available for a party of 4. I had just walked by a table that sat 6 to which I brought to their attention but was told that there would have to be 6 people in my party to be able to occupy that table. I then when on to state that they had tables out there for 4 guests but only 2 were there. Someone else came by and directed us to that same table I had mentioned for seating. Definitely wasn’t a good start to what was supposed to have been a relaxing evening out. I ordered a burger with fries that evening. The burger was dry and lacked seasoning. It was edible but seemed like a frozen patty instead of juicy fresh meat patty.

Food and service was good.

My ribs were a little too saucy and my wife's chicken fried steak needed more gravy. The Elote had a subtle sauce and the mashed potatoes with cheese could have been a little creamier. These are all minor critiques. The meal was good.

Entrees do not come with a salad.

This is more than a place to have a nice dinner 💓 I didn't expect for someone to come around with roses, take pictures, and play the guitar. It's a beautiful place for a date night. The food was excellent. I had the short ribs and my husband had the ribeye, both were flavorful and tender. I would definitely have more date nights here.

Been coming here since I was little. Food is nearly perfect. Get the fried mushrooms. I can guarantee you, you won’t be disappointed. Also, get the almond taco as a dessert. Enjoy!
