"We were on a road trip from Buffalo down to Cooperstown and stopped at Rio Grande Mexican restaurant halfway through our drive. The food and margaritas were absolutely delicious and amazing. The staff was super friendly and hospitable! Definitely a place I would stop at if you’re not local and passing through or if you are local and craving some good Mexican food, don’t pass up on this place!"

"Great service, excellent food, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant! The churros we shared for dessert were AMAZING."

"Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant - excellent experience! The food and service were top-notch, making for a wonderful dining experience. However, I do have one suggestion: be cautious when ordering the double fajita. While the portion is slightly larger than the regular, the price is double. In my opinion, it's better value to order two single fajitas - you'll pay only a few dollars extra, but you'll get two full portions. Worth considering if you're looking to get the most bang for your buck. Overall, Rio Grande is a great spot for delicious Mexican food and great service!"

"Service was great, food even better. My husband got the combo plate with two chili relanos and I had a cheese and chicken enchilada. Medium margaritas were very big and yummy. First time here and definitely will be back! Lunch specials look yummy, too. Those are from 11am-3pm. Happy hour margs till 6pm."

"This is a very nice and cozy restaurant. My wife and I normally go there for their tortilla chips with beer. The sauce is just the perfect amount of heat in it. This time I ordered a dish that was recommended by the waiter. I wanted something with meat and cheese and full of flavor. And I wasn't disappointed (minus saltiness, not to my liking, thus 4 stars). Initially my wife didn't want to have a main course but after sampling mine, she actually ordered exactly the same dish. The saltiness was a "bull's eye" to her liking. We enjoyed the atmosphere. My wife's Margarita was also perfectly balanced. Overall, very solid place to go to for good quality Mexican food. Thank you!"

"Stopped in after seeing the Lights on the Lake. Loved the Cosmo margarita! We both had enchiladas which were yummy. Churros were the bomb!"

"I've been wanting to try Rio Grande for a while and finally had a chance. We were seated promptly and given menus. They brought us warm chips and salsa and our drinks and came back in a little while to take our orders. The food came out pretty quickly and was nice and hot. Service was very good even as it got busier during lunch. My 1/2 Enchilada Supreme came with one cheese and one chicken enchilada, rice and lettuce, tomato and sour cream. It was a decent size lunch portion. My friend had shrimp and rice and vegetables. She said it was cooked well, tasted great and took some leftovers home. The decor was colorful and fun. Next time we'll try some margaritas, they looked great."

"The food was excellent and the service was outstanding! First time visit. We will definitely be going back!"

"This is a great spot for Mexican food. I came here with my family, and I loved it. I can't wait to come back here. This is a former fast food place; the inside has been painted but it still looks the same on the inside. They have booths and tables inside with plenty of seating. I love their drinks, chips and salsa and enchiladas. My whole family loved their meals. I'm looking forward to coming back here again soon."

"Margaritas are the best! The food is amazing too! Makes me think of childhood!"

"So happy we found this little gem after staying a few nights in Syracuse and not knowing the area. It’s always a good sign when they bring out the freshly made warm chips and homemade spicy salsa - free. Coming from Canada this is a rarity! In fact, we had had dinner at another Mexican restaurant in Syracuse earlier that week and they did not provide these free. The Margueritas were delicious (we requested premium tequila) and our meals were delicious. My husband’s tamales were some of the best he’s ever had. Service was friendly, very fast and food came out hot. Very highly recommended."

"I've been coming here at least twice a week since January 2026. The food, service, cleanliness, and atmosphere are always five stars. From the quality of the food to the wait staff and management, all very attentive and professional every time. Highly recommend this establishment. Liverpool's best Mexican food and the drinks are amazing."

"The service is above and beyond. Every time I go with my family (even when the restaurant is busy) we always receive a personable experience. The food is my favorite in town. I love eating here!!!"

"MMMMMMMMMMM. The mucho grande burrito tasted like heaven on my taste buds. I ordered on DoorDash and it came with a bag of chips and salsa as well. Super amazing and scrumptious. Was not in store so did not see decor but everything was packaged nicely. Service also not needed."
