I had the tamales rice and beans. The tamales were okay the meat was not shredded enough it was a lot of huge chunks of pork the green sauce had a good flavor very authentic. The red salsa was awesome. The beans were flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rice was cold not even room temperature cold like straight out of the fridge. The house margarita was okay it was sweet but tasted very watery tasted like it had almost no alcohol in it. There menus are kinda hard to see posted up high on the wall. They have one laminated menu at the register. I do wish they had a few copies of the menu this would have made ordering here easier. The staff was super friendly and inviting. The place was so cute and had a wonderful veiw it was definitely an experience. read more

When I visited New Mexico, I fell in love with not only the destination, but the cuisine! It is different than Mexican cuisine. I can't say which is better, as both cuisines are amazing, but once you'e had New Mexican cuisine, it's something you'll never forget. I learned Rio Bravo was a New Mexican spot in North Bend, so had to check it out after a long day of hiking nearby. I was starrrrving, and it seemed like everyone else was too because when I arrived, the line was outside the door. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but it's worth waiting for. They make their own salsas! I asked if they had Christmas-style enchiladas, which they do! Get this and order nachos, which were loaded AF. You get a choice of meat for all the entrees, and the menu has a solid amount of different items to choose from, with breakfast dishes and booze. The enchiladas came in three, so ordered one with al pastor and the others with steak. In addition to the enchiladas, it also came with a big scoop of rice and beans. Both salsas were awesome! And the heat was definitely there, as it should be. You can't go wrong with the roasted chiles in the salsas that are apparent once you taste it. I don't normally order enchiladas, but these are ones to try from here! I also ordered al pastor nachos, which was enormous! I also love that they do not charge you an additional fee for guac, like some places do. Only patio dining is open during this time of COVID-19, but they offer curbside pickup and takeout. I ordered my takeout and they said they could bring it out to me in my car, which was the first time I did this. How convenient was that? The friendly employee came to my car with everything neatly packaged and all I had to do was sit there and accept the bag of goodies. No complaints there. Rio Bravo is definitely one of the best places in North Bend to eat at. The food was fresh, high-quality with large portions that fed me for multiple meals. Gotta come here next time with some pals for patio dining where they serve beer from the outdoor bar. Damn straight. read more

Came here because of the nice outdoor eating area so that we could have our dogs with us! You go in to grab menus/order, but then they bring the food to you if you're eating outside. In the mean time, enjoy the outdoor bar with a nice variety of cocktails. I had the pineapple margarita with a chili salt rim, amazing! The food is delicious. I had the chilaquiles, which I've never tried before, but was surprised with how delicious it is!! I chose the verde sauce, which had a nice bite to it. Overall a great experience, everyone was super nice and service was fast. read more

Rio Bravo - Meal - Mexican Near Me - North Bend, Washington

We stopped in here for lunch and thought it was pretty danged good. The menu selection was typical for authentic Mexican fare. We settled on bean dip, street tacos, rice and beans. We were pretty happy with the portion size, taste, and freshness. Prices were decent as well. The seating space is pretty cramped, as it is a small restaurant (seating for 4 people at most at each table) but we just pulled up a couple more chairs for our party of 6 and made it work. This is a decent place to get Mexican food on your way through North Bend. Just a few minutes off the freeway exit. read more

This place was amazing. My face is still on fire and I love it. We had a torta with asada, a burrito with pastor, a burrito with chorizo and taqueria. Would 100% recommend all of them. Their hot sauce was on point. Definitely would go!!! And the people working were very nice!! read more

This place is awesome! We've been grabbing take out from here since we first arrived in North Bend. It is a very small family owned place offering amazing service and solid Mexican cuisine. If you have any doubts as to how much the locals like their food, just drive by around lunch time and you'll see a line out the door! The majority of the seating for this place is actually outside on picnic tables which are packed in summer and actually pretty occupied even in the winter. The inside only has a few tables and chairs lining the small walkway up to the counter where you can place your order. A couple of times we've been here we've chatted with the owner who always speaks to me in Spanish to help me practice, much appreciated for his patience! I don't want to say we come here for their horchata but let's just be honest that it might be a contributing factor. The owner is always so generous and gives us a little horchata refill after we've sipped on it while waiting for our order, just love that thoughtfulness! Our favorites here are definitely the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde which is gluten free and super flavorful. The chips and guac are tasty and usually get added to our order as I'm a well known chip hound. The husband is a big fan of the chicken smothered tacos and usually licks his plate so clean it looks to me as if they may have forgotten his order altogether. This place has certainly become one of our favorite go to places for some quick local eats here in North Bend. read more

Glad I gave this one a try! The enchiladas are fantastic. The red sauce has so much flavor. Wish I would have added the green too, cause I'm sure it's great. Beans and rice were perfect too. If I'm ever back in this area, this will be my go to spot! read more

I love the food here so much we eat here at least once a week. Summer time is great for sitting outside and winter is great for take out. It's locally owned and the staff is super friendly. My new favorite is the Al Pastor tacos. Oh and they have amazing margaritas that you can also get to go! read more

I got the fish burrito. Overall it was solid -- more so when doused in salsa. I would have liked the dish seasoned a bit more and a bit more present in the mix, but it was good -- and MUCH better a meal option than most places in that area (at least touristy blandness downtown). Bottom line: North Bend is much more highly ranked on its food than it should be, but you can get a solid burrito here for a fairly reasonable price -- a few bucks more than Chipotle. Worth a stop? Nah, more just a better option than others when forced to eat in North Bend's downtown. read more

Delicious food, amazing service, tastes even better than many restaurants in New Mexico. Definitely coming back.

We stopped in after a winter hike because the place we were headed was too busy. We were glad we did. This place used to be a small diner, but now it's serves Mexican Food I just spent a month in Mexico, and can say that this is one of the few authentic Mexican food restaurants around here (Wa). We were in a rush and just had the Nachos but were so hungry they were half gone before I could get a photo so picture this: The plate was huge, and plenty for two. Covered with Carne Asada, cheese, onions, cilantro, jalapenos, beans, guacamole and sour cream. The salsas were tasty and spiced well. The staff was friendly. They don't have a lot of inside seating, but fortunately we got the last little table because it was 25 deg outside. The only downside is that it sits on a busy road. Nothing fancy, but totally worth a try if you like good Mexican Food. It appears to be popular among the locals as there was a steady stream. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. They also serve drinks and beer. read more

Rio Bravo - Sopesitos Plate and Al Pastor Taco Plate - Mexican Near Me - North Bend, Washington

I love the small town feel of North Bend and the independent restaurants that call this city home. Rio Bravo is a perfect example! This family-run establishment may appear a bit rundown, but its brightly-colored tables and exterior truly liven up the block. Thanks to Yelp, the four of us stopped by for their taco plates after hiking nearby Twin Falls. The restaurant is small inside with just a few tables, so we grabbed a seat outside after ordering at the counter. Their menu offers Mexican staples like tacos, enchiladas and burritos with your choice of meat. They also have "smothered tacos" which are covered in their red or green sauce. These intrigued me, but my mind was already set on a traditional taco plate which included three tacos and sides of Spanish rice and pinto beans. For a variety, I ordered one chorizo, chicken and al pastor, which were all equally priced. (Lengua, fish and steak would have been extra, although not by much) My favorite of the three was the al pastor - seasoned succulent pork with cubes of grilled pineapple. The pineapple was perfectly sweet, had some caramelization and melded well with the savory pork. The chicken taco was also delicious as the meat was ever so tender. My least favorite was the chorizo. I'm usually all for bold flavors, but my palate was completely overwhelmed by the amount of spice mixed into the sausage. All the tacos came topped with crisp white onions and cilantro for added freshness. They also included cups of red, orange and green salsas which were all delicious and had varying grades of heat. The tacos stood well on their own, but a drizzle of the salsas definitely elevated them. Unfortunately, the only thing was that the beans were pretty wet and soaked into my tortillas, making them soggy. Perhaps if they used two tortillas per taco, it could have improved the durability, but I still managed to eat them without them falling apart. Service was terrific and we could clearly see how much work this family dedicates to their business. The owner was working at a table at the time we ordered and sincerely thanked us for coming in. Even their young daughter (I assume) seemed to enjoy helping out where she could by waving hello to customers and coming outside with her mom to deliver food. On top of all this, their food is a wonderful value too! All four of our taco plates came to about $37 and completely filled us up; we couldn't ask for more. A stop at Rio Bravo is a definite must when in North Bend! 4.75 stars. read more

Rio Bravo is our go to for local Mexican fix. Quality is good and seasonal menu keeps things fresh. I highly recommend for takeout. You can enjoy it as a sit down, but limit space during cold season. (You do need to double check your order, more than a couple of times we had missing items in our order.) read more

Excellent Mexican every day food. Great quality ingredients, perfectly prepared. The family who runs the restaurant is super friendly and efficient. In the summertime it is cozy to sit in the outside area and enjoy the North Bend views, including Mount Si. read more

Home of the $17 bean and rice burrito! Love their food but they're guilty of the same thing every taco joint in New Mexico are and it's the over-filling of rice and beans. Order any burrito and you get a dime bag worth of protein and the rest is four by six inches of filler material. If you're into high dollar rice and beans in quantity? Come and spend your money here. read more

Came hungry and left happy! Friendly service at the counter and food arrived quickly to our table outside. Cute little shop and an awesome team working their tails off on a hot and busy day. We loved the Huevos Rancheros and Smothered Tacos. I did prefer the green sauce over the red--the green tasted sooo fresh and delish--red was a little heavy for me. We will for sure return when we are in the area! Great quick stop and the food was authentic and super flavorful. read more

Every time we eat here I'm reminded how wonderful it is to find good tacos in this part of WA. Chorizo and lengua is great. Al Pastor (pineapple/onion style) and carnitas both solid. Pozole hits the spot. Love this place. read more

Stopped here to grab some tacos after a hike. We literally got one of each. The Chorizo was by far the best. Full of flavor and just a little heat that was complimented nicely by the lime and onions. The Lengua was my second favorite. Extremely tender and juicy, it paired really well with the spicy salsa that cut through the richness. The Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos were both okay. Not bad but nothing great about them either. Pretty run of the mill. The Veggie and Fish(Mahi Mahi) taco were both meh. Soggy and lacked flavor and really need a lot of salsa and lime to down them. Wouldn't recommend these. The Chicken Quesadilla was not bad but again not spectacular. The rice and beans was a nice change from the standard refried beans. Personally I liked the pinto beans (with a lot of salsa added) but not everyone enjoyed them as much. Overall the portions are generous and the tacos stuffed, there are some goods and some mehs so choose accordingly. The salsas are all really nice and their spicy has a serious kick to it which I loved. All in all, not a bad taco spot but not one I'd drive all the way for. read more

This has quickly become a favorite of ours. We originally found Rio Bravo on Yelp with high ratings and gave it a try! We don't live nearby, but it's a must stop for us when we are in the area. We love to get the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and an egg fried over easy on top, Oh so delicious and fresh! The red sauce is great and seems to be house made, so good! Love this place! read more

We've driven by this place so many times & this time we saw there were people sitting in their nice outdoor patio eating breakfast- had no idea they served breakfast. We went inside to order & were happy to see they had quite a few choices for breakfast. I asked what they recommend & an older gentleman said the breakfast burrito & the huevos rancheros so we got both to share. They offer choices of meat so we got chorizo with the burrito & carna asada with the huevos rancheros. The burrito was delicious with the chorizo, egg, rice & beans & their mild salsa on the side. The huevos rancheros was really good too other than the carna asada being pretty chewy for my liking. We got their medium salsa with it which was really spicy which my husband loved. Overall it was a really good experience-friendly prompt service, nice outdoor seating & good food at reasonable prices. The tacos & quesadillas look good too so we'll be back to try them. read more

Fantastic tacos! A little different for the tortilla on the tacos compared to the taco truck ones (where they traditionally have two small tortillas stacked) but they are bigger here and just as delicious. The meats are really tasty, got the al pastor, chorizo and carne asada. The al pastor and chorizo were the highlights! Very friendly service here, and they appreciated me trying to practice spanish with them. Limited seating, so maybe avoid busy times? Fast service for to go orders though read more

We visited on "Tamale Tuesday" and got three different tamales. Pork and green chilies, Mole Chicken, and roasted chilies and cheese. All these were spectacular, and the salsas, rice and beans were also fantastic.

Rio Bravo - Birria - Mexican Near Me - North Bend, Washington

I stopped by the beautiful Snoqualmie falls and needed a snack afterwards. Choosing the Rio Bravo over the burger joint next door, I was excited to sit down in their little dining room and eat my chicken taquitos. Unfortunately my chicken was bland, overcooked, and I left unsatisfied. (My other friends eating with me did not enjoy their lacking chicken tacos and chicken burrito) I am giving them a 2 star because the Horchata was pretty good. Service was interesting, seems like they employ a younger group of people. They were friendly but forgetful at times. I ordered horchata but was not served it until I asked again. I do love small places to eat at, but I wasn't very happy leaving the Rio Bravo. read more

Had Rio Bravo in North Bend cater our event for 70+ guests this past weekend. They were amazing! I worked with Diego Lira and he lined up our catering choices and made sure we were taken care of. Was extremely responsive and on time. They even provided chaffing dishes and provided the food in the huge container to keep everything warm. Everyone was more than happy, the food quality was fantastic! We will definitely be having them cater another event for us in the future. read more

This was a fun hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that we found in between hikes. For the coronavirus, they had everyone order inside keeping 6 feet apart. You would then wait by your car for them to bring it to you. My hubby was over the moon in love with the breakfast burrito that he got with bacon. I tried it, and indeed it was delicious. I like to pretend to be healthy sometimes and got the taco salad with chicken and green sauce. They were really generous with the guacamole and the chicken had a really yummy flavor with a bit of a kick to it. It's more like shredded chicken rather than fajita. Service wasn't crazy fast but there seemed to be a ton of people there (socially distanced) and it was a beautiful day so we didn't mind the wait. Next time, I'm getting the nachos. read more

So tasty! This place has amazing food. I had the smothered tacos with al pastor meat and they were so good that I could not stop myself from eating all of them. The meat had such great flavor and was just spicy enough that I did not need to add any salsa. The lettuce underneath was a bit gratuitous, but it added another component to the dish. read more

Rio Bravo - Carne Asada Tacos, Fish Tacos - Mexican Near Me - North Bend, Washington

On charm alone, these guys will probably land a special place in your hearts. I mean, it's a small town with a teeny little spot, a nice patio, funky paint job, and a menu of basic Mexican food. I found it on the Yelp app, and never would have known of it otherwise. I made my way in on a rainy day and cleared away a small two-top after ordering. Space is cramped and I sat to wait for my food. The wait wasn't long for two chicken enchiladas (with both red and green sauces) and I was famished from a day of driving, so I inhaled the rice, beans, and both enchiladas. The shredded chicken was seasoned okay, but unfortunately was pretty dry. Parts of it were overcooked, but I didn't let that stop me from finished my food. The service was so dear and patient. They were busy for an off-time on a weekday, and they were hustling to get food out but still welcomed me with a smile. I appreciated the big jug of water and larger water cups, and I took advantage by guzzling down several glasses. I think I spent like $12-13 or so, just under $15 with tip. That's way beyond fast food prices, but this isn't regular fast food. Come for the charm, grab some A-OK food. read more
