Rio Mirage Cafe - Surprise

I feel 3.5/4 star rating is sufficient at this time, but it will like to increase to 5 stars if cleanliness is corrected before our next visit. This is a great restaurant to visit when you enjoy delicious meals and delicious drinks. The staff is always very friendly, including the attentive bartender. We have tried many of the dishes over the years and were never dissatisfied, they were all delicious and well refined. The green chili dishes are my favourite, as it makes the authenticity especially compared to other restaurants. The margaritas are absolutely delicious and I recommend the strawberry margarita to everyone. The only complaints I have with this beautifully decorated restaurant is cleanliness. Many times recently we have menus that are dirty or are in ruins. While the result is chaotic mosquitoes, you would hope that menus will be deleted and sanitary before they are delivered again. The restaurant itself must also be thoroughly cleaned. There are plenty of dust and debris on the decor, separators, walls, sitting edges, etc. This is a favorite restaurant that we have often visited, so I really hope that the lack of Tidins is not a reflection of the kitchen. I have severe allergies and dust activated my asthma, so I was not too surprised that I cried after our last visit.

My wife and I ventured into Rio Mirage Cafe for the first time a few weeks ago (04/23). We arrived around 6pm and waited about 15 minutes before being seated. Our waiter, Mark C, was a true entertainer. My wife and I have never laughed so hard, and so long, in a restaurant before. We literally had stomachaches from all of the rapid exercising of our diaphragms. The food was fabuloso and the habanero salsa was spicy. If you are there for dinner, make sure you request Mark C?s section. You will not be disappointed!!!

Chips and salsa 7/10 good flavor, could be spicier. Caldo de res was on point. Lots of meat. Only downfall, no spicy chile available to be added to my caldo.

Overall, not bad but could be better. The restaurant wasn't busy on Sunday night when we went so we were sat right away. Staff was friendly. Cleanliness could be better, food, napkins and spills on the floor on the short walk to our booth, and the table had some salsa on it that they missed when wiping it down. Perhaps it was because it was the end of the day. Chips and salsa were good, nice spicy salsa. I ordered the chimichanga, which was good but not crispy at all so it was more like a burrito. My husband ordered enchiladas and said they were really good.

Beautifully decorated, authentic Mexican restaurant. Food is incredible, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Service is stellar. They bring fresh, made in house chips and salsa while you wait for your food. Our waiters did not let our chip bowl empty. They were constantly refilling it just amazing. The house margaritas are huge (and delicious) and they have a small selection of craft beer on draft. The whole restaurant is decorated where no detail is missed. Wonderful place for a special occasion or date night!
