In from out of town, we eat a lot of Mexican food, this was GREAT! Atmosphere was whatever (typical small town Mexican vibe). The lady who was our waitress was an expert at het job. Food was out in 10 minutes. Food was plated like every Mexican place you go, with huge portions. The flavor was a step up though. We finished our plates and gladly left stuffed. read more

Much larger than it looks from the outside, it's well situated for groups. Has an expansive menu of typical Mexican restaurant favorites. Lunch specials and dinner combinations are especially good values. Service was acceptable and the flavorful order came up quickly and correctly. My combination included a taco, enchilada, and tostada. The ground beef on the tostada needed more seasoning but the order was otherwise filling and satisfying. read more

Food was delicious! Loved the flavor and texture of the steak and bell peppers with the queso was an absolute Chefs kiss! The service was surprisingly fast even while it was pretty busy! And the servers were super nice and spoke good English! The ambience was stellar, super cute and lots of beautiful stained glass lights making it feel like a cozy blanket on a cold day! Loved it highly recommend this place for anyone and everyone! read more

We were passing through Hannibal and stopped here based on the reviews. It did not disappoint! The chips and salsa were fresh, the service was extremely fast and helpful, and the food was excellent! All the portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. We were expecting to have an hour long lunch, but we were in and out in under 30 minutes! Highly recommend! read more

Don't let the location fool you. It's in a strip mall, but the food and service were great. I had the fried chicken chimichanga and my husband had the polo loco. We travel in our 40ft Motorhome and managed to find a spot on the outskirts of the parking lot. My husband walked in, places our order and was back in our Coach within 15 mins or so. He said it was clean inside and staff was friendly. They included chips and salsa with our takeout order and both of us were very pleased with our meals. Definitely satisfied the Mexican food craving we were having. We would definitely come back next time we are passing through! read more

Gran Rio Mexican Restaurant - Chicken chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

The food is excellent with really good service and since they took over the spot next to them it's much brighter and better experience

I love this place. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. This place has some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Every time I come in here, it's always a great experience. Local or tourist, you'll love coming here read more

I used to stop here often as I really like the food and the service has always been great! However, the last two times I have eaten here, the man at the cash register is very rude! This last time he charged me the wrong amount and rather than ringing it up correctly, he gave me back cash. While it was basically the same, I'm on an expense account and now I have no receipt to submit. Because he was so abrupt, he also screwed my server out of a tip. He must be the owner as I can't imagine any business having a person with such an attitude be the last thing you remember as you leave. I won't be going back. read more

Food is excellent, service excellent, needs a major update and renovation to washrooms. My entire meal was very flavourful and not over spiced. All the other patrons seemed to be enjoying their experience as well. I am moving here and this will be a goto spot. read more

Nice, big space. A little trouble communicating at the start but generally staff friendly and helpful. Really tasty salsa and corn chips were refilled. Really tasty chicken, vegetable and rice 'Rio' dish, well seasoned. All good portions including nachos appetiser. Thank you. read more

The food had flavor!!! Service was great! Kinda chill environment . They had a table for 27!!! Breezed right thru. Chips could be fresher!!! But a decent meal!! read more

Four stars are very deceiving for the food at this restaurant. The beans tasted burned, and everything else was canned. Pace picante sauce for salsa and velveeta cheese in the enchiladas. So disappointing. While the staff was friendly, we did not get what we ordered either. We realized afterward we were trying to navigate to the Rio Grande Restaurant and ended up at Gran Rio. Big mistake. It was the worst Mexican food we've ever had, sadly. read more

Food was great and large portions! Good margaritas and good service! Prices were very reasonable!

Our order was to go. The cheese enchilada was just cheese inside, no seasoning, no sauce. In my opinion it was premade as the cheese had melted at one point but was not hot. The bean enchilada contained only beans and tasted oddly of italian seasoning. Neither item not the beans or rice were hot. We were not given forks. I'm giving it a rating of 3 overall because the fried ice cream was a great dessert. The prices were cheap but you are getting what you pay for here. Definitely not a place to take a date or have a celebration. read more

Salsa was good, chips are thick and taste stale. Quesadilla could use more cheese or some sauce as it was dry.

Literally the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. I have had a stomach ache for hours and I feel extremely nauseous.

Since we are from Texas we always are a bit unsure as we visit a Mexican Restaurant in the northern states! But this was excellent. The chili relleno was especially tasty. We believe the service was excellent and I loved the cold Margarita. Also very very reasonable in price. We highly recommend. read more

Stopped based on the ratings. Not great. Ordered a top shelf Margarita - 27 oz and it was kool aid. The food was ok. Basic at best. Nothing special. Fast food Mexican restaurant style. read more

First experience here. The waiter was great - super friendly - and food was good (I had the Mexican chicken soup and hubs had shrimp tacos). Maybe if we had been seated in another area it would have been ok but I was ready to shoot myself due to the door chime that kept going off everytime someone entered or exited the kitchen (and we weren't SUPER close to the kitchen but it was SUPER annoying). It was a grandfather clock kitchen chime and the CONSTANT sound over & over & over was like Chinese water torture - I was ready to scream by the end of dinner. We also got screwed/way overcharged on the bill. (Husband didn't realize it until we got to the car and he didn't want to go back inside to straighten it out). Would definitely not go back to eat inside and if we order something to go we would make sure we keep a very close eye on the receipt! read more

Gran Rio is the bomb. This is a regular spot for us. Our orders are always on spot and correct. The service is genuine and courteous. And the food delicious! We highly recommend! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and staff! Never complain and always helpful! They should def be higher than 3 1/2 stars

Best place in Hannibal. Great environment. Excellent service and delicious food. I like sitting on the left side cause of the lighting. The steak quesadilla is delicious. read more

my favorite Mexican restaurant in this area Always great customer service & the best mexican cuisine!

Stopped here late on Friday night passing through, the Steak Burrito was probably the best I have ever eaten. What a great find !!! I would highly recommend!! read more

For the most part my kids love this place! Even though one only orders hot dogs! But every delivery is wrong and they have to go back and retrieve the rest of my order. Today when we placed an order and it arrived, the driver didn't have change for $60.00 my total was $45.85. He said do you go there often, we can keep it and give at next order. Sorry that's not happening. So i told him I could come get the change after we ate.which defeats the purpose of ordering out. When i got inside to distribute everyone's meals was again missing items off the order. So i called and they ended up bringing it with my daughters meal. By that time the 2/ $6.75 cheese dip was cold and disgusting. Wouldn't really complain but that's 13.50 for something now inedible! And on the menu the pollo loco also states that it comes with a lettuce salad w/ sour cream and pico de gallo well it doesn't. And ordered extra chips and salsa and both bags didn't even come 1/2 full. which isn't enough when your feeding 4 people! I wouldn't really complain but i order from them about once a week. And every order is wrong. Come on Grand Rio get your stuff together there is plenty of other places to order in this town if you don't!!! read more

This place is amazing, their food is so good! A guy was pissed bc there was a piece of paper in his burrito and he left without paying but he treated the employees like crap. read more

Manny and his staff were amazing! We came in late (30 minutes before closing) and they treated us like it had just opened. The food was fresh, well prepared and well portioned. The food and drink price point was well below the rest of the town while maintaining excellent quality. A must do place to go in Hannibal! read more

This is sub par food, but then, I am visiting from Central Texas, where the TEx Mex is more Mexican than we found during this visit. Didn't even finish my plate! read more

Gran Rio Mexican Restaurant - Chicken Frajita - Mexican Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

Strip mall Mexican food. The doors were propped open as we strolled in for a Friday lunch. There was no one to greet us at the door. When we sat ourselves at a booth against the wall and flagged down a server. Our drinks came in about ten minutes. This wouldn't typically be a problem except that we counted five employees on the floor and only two other tables. Our chicken nachos appetizer and two entrees were unremarkable. I can't really bash them because Mexican food is simple and delicious. The bill rounded out to about $30. The restaurant was not fiflthy but was certainly not clean. Nothing special. read more

Very blan food and bad service. All three meals we ordered had no heat or cilantro. The queso for chips is very thin and watered down, won't stick to chips. Server took order and we didn't see him again, someone else brought our food and we never got refills or a check. Most importantly every dish they bring to the table smells like dirty bleach water. Woof... read more

Service was not good...took 15 min. To get drinks. Bathroom was DISGUSTING. ...The light above our table had a 90 watt light bulb in it that we had to unscrew. The food came out cold...something was burnt in the kitchen and it smelled up the whole place. Will not come back sadly. read more
