Don Rigo - Celebration - Beer Bar Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this spot until now. Since I went with my boss recently, I have a perfect excuse to do it now. I talked him into lunch here and he said he hadn't been in a LONG time, and overall, we were both very impressed. I mean, it was good before, but they've really stepped up their game since my last visit. The inside is still the same, lots of comfortable seating, and a very laid back atmosphere. Their food menu seemed larger than I recall with lots more tasty options. Their libations menu seemed larger too. We started with the classic chips and salsa along with an order of fresh guacamole. Both the salsa and the guac were excellent with a nice jalapeno kick. I couldn't stop eating both and it was tough to choose which I liked more. For our mains, my boss ordered a bowl of Azteca soup and two chicken tamales, and I ordered the tacos al pastor. We didn't wait long at all before it was all ready. My boss's soup was HUGE and he really enjoyed it as well as the tamales. My al pastor was some of the best I've had in a while and I liked that they had big chunks of pineapple in it instead of tiny pieces like many places. It also had a nice spicy kick that made my nose run a little. Totally worth it though. I really forgot how good this place is so this lunch was a great reminder. I think I'll be bringing my lady along next time for a meal and some margaritas. read more

Love the menu and the service is amazing and friendly. They also have a great bar if you just want an appetizer and a beverage.

We went to Don Rigo on a Friday night and it wasn't very busy. There was a larger party in the back room, but other than that everybody else was at the bar with this being said it took our server a while to get to us. We ordered queso and chips and my daughter ordered the tacos. It came out hot and fresh and tasty. But again the service was subpar. We waited about 20 minutes to get our check after we were finished eating. read more

Don Rigo - Chips and Queso - Beer Bar Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Don Rigo is a typical Tex-Mex restaurant with a couple twists. As a vegetarian, I opted for a veggie custom combo- where tamales raja was an option. Good tamales are not always available and this was tasty with my cheese enchilada, beans and rice and a fresh green salad. My husband had a shredded beef burrito deluxe platter with two- and one burrito is going home for lunch tomorrow. Portions are generous . The house margarita gold medium was large and everything was delicious. The only ding was on the service. There were five servers lurking as the host stand when we came in and yet the time between visits to our table was a bit too long. We had to ask for water and small plates for the warm chips and salsa that came with the dinner. All told, smallish issues. This is a restaurant worth trying in an area with little to offer. As always, our pictures reflect a dinner well-consumed read more

We called Don Rigo for carryout last night. We ordered the Pollo Don Rigo, an a la carte Chile Poblano, and the "create your own" nachos with chicken and cheese and added the option to add tomatoes, sour cream, and lettuce to the nachos, and an order of guacamole dip. The person who took my order read it back to me, and I reiterated that we wanted the create your own nachos. She confirmed that is what she had. I picked up the order and didn't look through the bag (my mistake). The order I received was Nacho Locos that was double the price f what I ordered. In addition, I was charged separately for extra sour cream and extra pico de gallo. I didn't receive any pico de gallo, and both the sour cream side (for $1.49) and the guacamole ($4.99) were tiny. Not good value at all. The food was good, but not what I ordered, and not good value for the cost. read more

Yeah, this place is a decent Tex-mex place. It's not bad at all, but just pretty typical. Nothing note-worthy as super authentic, but it's on par with Americanized Mexican fare. It'll scratch the itch for "Mexican" food in suburba read more

okay service, had to send back food for wrong order but other than that tasted good! Quick & fast service. read more

The usual Mexican items are pretty good, but they need to work on their salads. For the price they are very underwhelming! If you want a $15-$16 salad with hardly any lettuce, then this is your place though! read more

We eat here weekly with friends and family. Atmosphere great. Quick service and excellent food. We enjoy many things on the menu including tamales and enchiladas. Steak tacos are a hit with our grandchildren. read more

Don Rigo - Birthday celebration - Beer Bar Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Found this place recently and we gave it a try this past Sunday. We thought it was going to be packed because of Mother's Day but it it was somewhat empty. The hostess was not friendly at all, she took us to a table and got upset when we asked for a booth. I would of understand if it was busy but there was plenty of seats. The waiter wasn't to thrill either, he did the necessary but not welcoming or approachable at all. We ordered taquitos mexicanos and chiles rellenos de pollo. Both dishes were delicious, and the salsa they had was one of the best I had. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would of gave it a 5 but the service was very poor, however worth the visit for the food. read more

Food is excellent. Service is terrific and fast. Ambience is great. Go there once a week. The drinks are terrific.

We were seated immediately. Traditional Mexican style restaurant set up it was great. Large building. The chips and salsa was great. The queso dip was solid. The banana flavor was out but the raspberry daiquiri was fantastic. So reasonably priced. But the real winner was the burrito california! Best burrito I've had in so long! It was amazing I can't say enough good things about this burrito. read more

Don Rigo took over from our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Ranchito, a few years back. It's a very small chain and turns out decent meals. Our go-to order is Don Rigo's Enchiladas, following an initial recommendation from the staff. It's a lot of food for $14. You get three enchiladas (chicken or steak - we get one order of each and share) topped with green salsa, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. It comes with rice and a banana pepper stuffed with chorizo. While they are serving meals inside, we order to-go and our orders have come with a generous bag of chips and salsa for dipping. Their website tells you when your food will be ready and staff inside are masked and friendly. I only wish there was hand sanitizer at the pay station. read more

Don Rigo - Veggie Enchiladas - Beer Bar Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I want to begin by the fact that I do love eating here. Maybe because Mexican is my favorite type of food, or maybe because the ambiance here is always good. The food came very fast and my veggie enchilada was delicious. There are a few things that could be done better however. The wait was a lot longer than they originally told us. The guacamole we ordered was a tiny strange-looking dollop. I think what really bothered me was when the server came with my plate, told me it's extremely hot, and went to hand it to me. I didn't want to grab it and it was an awkward exchange. He ended up sliding it over to me and I went to feel it and it scalded me after just a touch so I am glad I didn't grab it. The food was good though and made great leftovers. I also got a medium margarita. As a college student who drinks regularly, I can say that these are the strongest drinks I have probably ever had. Even the small margarita got me very tipsy one time: enjoy with care. Overall, I will definitely keep coming back! Also: the menu needs gluten-free labels! read more

Don Rigo - Margarita - Beer Bar Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I would give 0 stars if it was possible. Worst tacos ever. The beef literally didn't have any flavor. I didn't even know it was possible to make beef void of beef flavor. Tacos were soggy. One bag of chips for 4 entrees. Quesadilla was even soggy from them sitting it in refried beans ....and all of it was disgusting. Total waste of money and time. $40 for this. I'm not sure how they are even in business unless it's for the alcohol and dine in. read more

This place is just the best family-friendly Mexican restaurant there is. The staff and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. Love the cheese enchiladas, the veggie fajitas, quesadilla alameda, I could go on! Great homemade salsa and warm tortilla chips. Definitely a place we have on repeat read more

Don Rigo is a pretty solid choice for your standard Mexican fare. I've been here many times and can't say I've ever disliked my food or had a bad experience. Typically I'm more of a fajita kinda gal, but decided to get the taco salad this time around. In my mind it was healthier, if you can call smothering your salad in sour cream healthy. It was everything I wanted it to be, crispy fried tortilla shell, refried beans, lettuce and plenty of grilled chicken. All the others at the table got the Pollo Don Rigo, which is the only dish that keeps them from ever agreeing to try a new place. If you're craving some Mexican, Don Rigo is definitely worth a stop! read more

It's nice to find Mexican food in the Ohio area! They have a nice Azteca soup and the jalapeño relleno appetizer is also good. Lots of choices for quesadillas and tacos. read more

My wife and I eat at this establishment at least once a week...most weeks its two to three. The food is fantastic, the service is great and friendly and the atmosphere is like a family room. Everyone welcome. Can't say enough about the staff and the kitchen!!! Clean, personality, and family. Our family does multiple special occasions a year here and this is a group who have their passports stamped and travel extensively south of the border!!! Hats off and thank you staff. GUSTAVO is the MAN!!!! read more

Amazing!!!! Great food and excellent carry out. The menu's selections met our large household's diets. Amazing vegetarian options.

Decent mexican restaurant. Replaced another one. They have a restaurant in amelia too. Decent food and prices. I had the fajitas with shrimp steak and chicken. They added pineapple for me. Good margaritas. My wife and son have been there a few times and enjoy it. read more

This place just doesn't cut it for me, and is another example of how crappy Anderson Twp's food scene is. Even re-branded it is still the same sub-par food and service that the previous Mexican restaurant was (which we visited once when we first moved to AT and didn't return to). It still boggles my mind that my hometown in BFE, Kentucky has TWO better Mexican restaurants than Anderson does. The first time we came to Don Rigo's was on a weekday, and it was pretty good. I didn't have any complaints, it was just your standard American-Mexican fare. We came back on Mother's Day and the experience plummeted. It took an hour to get our food, and the recurring excuse was "we have a large party". That's a dumb excuse. So you don't like or can't handle business? Your staff is overwhelmed by one "large party"? Or, you're going to ignore your smaller parties with the smaller checks in favor of a larger party with the bigger check? That excuse doesn't fly with me. They "compensated" for it by giving us a half-off margarita, good for our next visit :-/ Grrreat. We haven't been back since Mother's Day, and I didn't realize how much I was underwhelmed by our two previous experiences until my spouse recently suggested Mexican food, but the weather was bad and we didn't want to drive too far. I didn't want to go to Don Rigo so I suggested Chipotle, which is the superior option. read more

Javier runs the BEST Mexican restaurant on the north side of the river.

This is by far the best local restaurant around. The service is always great, the food is always fresh and on point. Salsa made fresh daily, you have to try the salsa verde, it's amazing! The shrimp quesadilla is my favorite, shrimp, chorizo and cheese.... incredible! read more

I tried the the burrito el barzon based on a recommendation from our waiter "Gus". It was awesome. Perfectly cooked shrimp, cheese and chorizo on top . Good margaritas as well. Bean and cheese dip was good, and chips were great. Nice atmosphere, and good service. Just wish the patio was non-smoking. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place! Dine in and take out are great experiences. And the food is amazing. Love it!!

UPDATE: You MUST try their Azteca soup. I love soups so much, especially in winter, and this is the BEST soup for winter I've ever had. Chunks of avocado, chicken, chipotle sauce, tortilla strips. The picture will give you an idea of how delicious it is. Just look at those ingredients! TIP: Get a side of queso and add chorizo to it. YES!! read more

I've been here a few times with work friends and I haven't been disappointed! We usually get chips and queso which is pretty good, the queso is very viscous. I usually get the shrim and rice (grilled shrimp on a bed of rice with veggies) with a cream sauce and garlic sauce on top. It is great! If I don't get that, I get the chicken version of that. Nothing bad to say about this place, its one of those good cheap Mexican restaurants that are pretty good without having to pay a fortune. The drinks here are giant so be careful! read more

I tend to enjoy some Mexican food, my husband does not particularly enjoy it. However, this is the first Mexican restaurant that the hubby liked, and ever suggests going to. It's a nice place to visit with friends or for a simple family dinner. We've visited this spot several times and the food is consistent and tasty. The staff are always friendly and the chip bowl is never empty. The salsa served with the chips is mild (though spicy to us), but there are plenty of hot sauces to heat things up. There is a bar, but we don't drink, so I can't comment on that, but our Diet Coke is always refilled. I always order the chimichanga, which is served with rice and refried beans, the husband orders hard tacos. We've never left hungry and find the food to be a great value. Highly recommend. read more

We went to this place close to our home. Salsa was on the point of going bad. Margarita was so sweet I only took two sips. The ensalada carnitas was gross with a vinegar sweet taste( AKA Spoiled). The waiter took our meal and never asked us if we had a issue or if the meal was ok. So disappointing! Never again read more
