Cheap and quality Margs!. I have heard about Rio Grande but for some reason I have never been in. They have pretty good Mexican food, but the best part is their Margaritas. They're really tasty and completely affordable. It's not a fancy sit down restaurant, it's casual. So only go if you want a fun-vibe place, not fine dining. I recommend it

Techno club for students. It was 7ish and the techno music was so loud I couldn't even hear the waiter. The food was AWFUL and the service was very bad. I think this place is great for college students who want to get wasted and party, as the bartender was clearly drunk, dancing like it was a rave. The place was full of families trying to have a nice dinner, it was embarrassing. I don't recommend this place to anyone. Bad food, bad service, horrible blaring techno music!

Go for the atmosphere. Plan to have a couple of margs and see & be seen, then go somewhere else for dinner. Very bland food.

Decent for a Tex Mex place in Boulder. First of all, this is Tex Mex, not Mexican. This should be considered when reviewing the food. It will not be "authentic" and will be seasoned much differently! That being said, I've been here several times and have NEVER had anything that wasn't fresh and flavorful. I think the place gets a bad rap for not being authentic, but that aside - there are tasty foods to be enjoyed! I love the salsa and the blue corn tortillas. Although I'm a meat eater, they do a nice job with veggie fair here, better than anywhere in town for Tex Mex.

The margaritas also taste outstanding. I have them a lot, and they are 100 times better than Juanita's or other places around there (besides Tahona - they aren't even in the same class - they are fantastic).

Anyway I think it's an amazing lunch spot for fresh tasty eats and consistent friendly service. I've been going there for years and haven't had a bad meal yet.

Terrible, Bland Food. TERRIBLE, bland food; I cant even eat it when Im drunk. The margaritas are good, however...but dont even bother with an appetizer at this joint.
