Grab your favorite blanket, light some candles, and let’s talk about the snow day essentials you’ll want to have on hand: soup, enchiladas, and of course, take-home margaritas!

Warm Up with Soup – The Ultimate Comfort Food

There’s nothing quite like a steaming hot bowl of soup on a cold, snowy day. Our house-made soups are crafted with care and layered with the bold, comforting flavors that Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant is famous for.

Green Chile Soup

This is a local favorite that captures the essence of the Southwest. Our Green Chile Soup combines sautéed chicken, roasted green chiles, and our signature house-made broth for a perfectly balanced kick of heat and comfort. It’s served with your choice of house-made flour or corn tortillas, ideal for soaking up every last drop of this delicious soup.

If you’re looking to take it up a notch, try it with Carnitas for extra heartiness.

Tortilla Soup

If you love a classic, our Tortilla Soup is the comfort food for you! This soup brings the warmth of grilled chicken, fresh cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, and crunchy tortilla strips together in a rich, house-made chile broth. Every spoonful delivers comfort, flavor, and the perfect amount of spice to keep you cozy through any winter storm.

Whether you opt for Green Chile or Tortilla soup, these two comfort foods are perfect for curling up on the couch, blanket in hand, watching the snow outside your windows.

Indulge in Comfort with Enchiladas

When you’re snowed in, nothing beats a plate of Rio Grande enchiladas. They’re rich, hearty, and bursting with flavor. Served with rice and your choice of beans, our enchiladas are Tex Mex comfort food at its finest.

Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas

Looking for something indulgent? Our Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas feature Atlantic red crab and shrimp wrapped in fresh, warm tortillas, topped with melted jack cheese and a tangy tomatillo sauce. It’s a decadent twist on a classic, perfect for turning a snowy evening into something special.

Sautéed Chicken Enchiladas

If you prefer something hearty and traditional, our Sautéed Chicken Enchiladas deliver every time. Tender chicken, jack cheese, and our classic enchilada sauce make this dish a snow-day staple! Want to add a little brightness? Try it verde with our signature tomatillo sauce.

Cheese and Onion Enchiladas

A comfort classic through and through, our Cheese and Onion Enchiladas melt together creamy cheese, savory onion, and rich enchilada sauce. Simple, nostalgic, and satisfying. The perfect reward after a day spent shoveling or relaxing indoors.

Spinach Enchiladas

For a lighter but equally cozy option, our Spinach Enchiladas feature sautéed spinach, squash, red onion, cheese, and tomatillo sauce. It’s the ideal blend of hearty and fresh, comfort food that you can feel good about.

No matter which you choose, Rio Grande’s enchiladas are the kind of Tex Mex take-out that warms you from the inside out.

Don’t Forget the Take-Home Margaritas

A snow day calls for a celebration, and what better way to celebrate than with a take-home margarita from Rio Grande! Our signature margs are made with the same care and fresh ingredients as the ones you love in our restaurants. They’re perfectly balanced and full of flavor.

Whether you prefer them classic and lime-forward or with a seasonal twist, our margaritas travel beautifully. Because when it’s snowing outside, there’s no better excuse to sip something bright, cold, and cheerful. Wanna try more than one or share with a group? Try our 5-pack of Margaritas to Go!
