El Rio Grande Mexican - Newport

We were in Cincinnati for a vacation when we decided we wanted mexican food so we decided to try this place. Food was the best Mexican food I've ever had. The service was great too. I just wish we didn't live 3 hours away. We will definitely be back again when we make it back to the area.

Quality has actually gone downhill since the last time (about 3 years ago). Burritos were lukewarm when it was served, and most of the plate was iceberg salad and pico to hide the smaller sizes. They also calculate 3.5% for non-payment payments. Apparently there's a sign on the door, but if the door is held for you when you go in, you don't see it. A reasonable approach would be to charge money price credit price, but they seem to prefer the hidden fee.

Taco Salat was so tender that a lot of bowl was unusable, just a dripping mess. The meat in it was delicious. And the vegetables were fresh. Such a better than mediocre experience. Service was good.

This is my wife and I's favorite restaurant. We have been coming here weekly to bi-weekly almost for a couple years now and we still are not tired of it. The food is cooked to perfection (and quickly at that) the portions are very generous (expect leftovers) and during this time we have never had a rude or seemingly disinterested server. If you are looking for good Mexican food for the price I cannot recommend this place enough. My go-to dish as of late is the Southwest Enchilada with the shredded chicken.

Great place to eat my favorite Mexican place. Good prices for large portions. Everything is delicious and the staff is very nice
