We will guide you through our top 5 most popular Tex Mex dishes at Rio Grande- guaranteed to tantalize your taste buds.
1. Rio Steak Burritos:
The Steak Burrito has been a fan favorite for an incredible 38 years. These burritos are packed with tender and perfectly seasoned steak, rolled up in a warm, fresh tortilla – a Tex Mex lover’s dream. Our regulars love it best when it’s smothered in our house-made green chile, paired with our savory black beans and delicious Spanish rice for the ultimate meal. This meal is a true Rio tradition.
2. Chile Rellenos:
Our Chile Rellenos encompass fresh, Tex Mex flavors. Every day, we roast peel, and hand-stuff Anaheim peppers with care before frying them up to perfection. You can enjoy them à la carte or as an accompaniment to your meal. Choose from one of five savory sauces to create the ultimate Tex Mex experience.
3. Crab & Shrimp Enchiladas:
Seafood lovers can’t resist our Crab and Shrimp enchiladas! We sautée real crab and shrimp in garlic butter, then wrap the delicious filling in our signature house-made corn tortillas. We bake our enchiladas in a zesty tomatillo sauce that compliments the seafood perfectly. Whether you go for these or our equally as popular chicken enchiladas, you’re in for a fantastic Tex Mex treat!
4. Surf & Turf Fajitas:
Our Surf and Turf fajitas are a newer addition to our menu and they have quickly become quite the crowd pleaser! We take our signature marinated skirt steak, grill it to perfection, then pair it with wild-caught 16-20 shrimp. This generous platter of goodness also features flame-grilled veggies, black beans, Spanish rice, house-made flour, or corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and pico de gallo. This is the perfect indulgent and fresh meal option!
5. Lunch Specials:
Our lunch combos are designed to bring variety and satisfaction to your midday meal! Choose between a quesadilla or three tacos, pair them with a fresh salad, or a bowl of Green Chile or Tortilla Soup – the perfect combo! Our salads feature a mix of butter, bibb, and crispy green lettuces, topped with ripe avocado, marinated grape tomatoes, roasted pepitas, and your choice of house-made dressings. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or light, our lunchtime combos are a quick and delicious way to get through the day!
