Reviews For Rio Blanco Family Restaurant

When I arrived in WA 24 years ago, I lived in the neighborhood. The food was good then, and it still is today. I'm generally not too fond of Mexican food, but this place is worth going to. I won't wait another 20 some years before I go back!

Nice place to enjoy a great meal. Service was intensive, without being intrusive. The food had a fresh homemade taste. Not a "came in frozen off the truck" taste. I had a tamale that tasted like my friends used to make for me. I highly recommend this place.

Rio Blanco’s restaurant is great. They make you feel very welcomed comfortable a place you want to spend and come back! Their customer service is excellent. My boyfriend and I drive from Tacoma for this restaurant and it’s worth every penny!

I have only been here a couple of times, but both of my experiences have been wonderful and I would gladly come again. My first time, I only got a horchata (my usual failsafe when gouging a new Mexican place to eat.) The hostess and staff were very friendly and my horchata came out perfectly to my liking. The second time, my carne asadas were cooked to perfection and came with a hearty heaping of beans and rice. The staff were again very friendly and cheerful. Atmosphere was cozy and homely while waiting for my food.

My boyfriend and I came here for a quick dinner date and the service was so fast and the food was hot and fresh! This place is gorgeous and I'm kind of sad it's taken me so long to come here but we will be returning VERY soon! My Chile Relleno was amazing and the chips were perfect. They were very helpful when my boyfriend wanted a side of beans and sour cream for his chips. Can't wait to come back!!

The carne asada has a nice char to it. The service was great. We were greeted immediately. Our server Carlos was professional and personable. We had a mango margarita, very good. The salsa is great. Food is fresh. The place is clean, including the bathroom. The atmosphere is welcoming. Plenty of parking.
