Excellent restaurant! Food and service were spot on and we'll definitely return if we're in the area! We started with top shelf margaritas that were delicious! The large is definitely large so be prepared! My husband loved every last sip and would have ordered another one if he could have! I ordered the medium and actually finished it, it was that good! The complimentary chips are fresh and warm, salsa is perfectly spicy and the slaw stuff is very tasty. For entrees, hubby got a combination plate with an enchilada, chimichanga and chile relleno. It was a ton of food and all of it was delicious! I ordered the Camerones la Crema and couldn't finish the whole plate, it was huge! So many shrimp! The food came quickly and was piping hot with tons of flavor and cooked perfectly. I'll be back and highly recommend them for your next outing! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g58497-d23580854-r859666078-Rio_Grande-Grand_Coulee_Washington.html# read more

Interesting ambiance. Food was pretty decent. I ordered the pork tacos plate. Massive amount of rice and beans. Tacos were good although a bit on the tiny side. Salsas were excellent. read more

Rio Grande - Mexican Near Me - Coulee Dam, Washington

We've been visiting Grand Coulee for the past four years to see family, and during that time, we've stopped by this place a handful of times. Each visit has felt a little less impressive than the last. Overall, it's an okay spot--mainly because it's one of the few options available in the area. If there were more choices in town, I likely wouldn't pick this place. The food has always been hit or miss--sometimes decent, other times not--and there's a definite lack of consistency. Customer service could use some improvement. The same man has taken our order every time. He started off great--friendly and attentive--but in more recent visits, he's come across as burnt out or disinterested. It really impacts the overall experience. read more

Rio Grande - Sopitas! - Mexican Near Me - Coulee Dam, Washington

As always, fresh ingredients wonderfully prepared, and generous portions. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, great view of Grand Coulee Dam, and the service is exceptional. We so enjoy the staff who always make us feel at home and share a few laughs. For those visiting Banks Lake, it's well worth the drive down the hill for a terrific meal. read more

Putting on a review because we almost didn't try this place from some of the more recent reviews we found on line. There is nothing about our experience that I would remove a star. The menu is extensive but exactly what one would expect from an establishment in this location. I had the carne asada and bacon wrapped prawns and everything was cooked excellent and delicious. The house margarita on the rocks was large, not overly sweet, and hit the spot after a day on the river. Went with my son and wife and the staff was attentive and friendly to everyone on all accounts. It's a medium size family restaurant that isn't overly loud. Maybe a touch dated but fits what one expects in this style of restaurant. Give it a try, we did and were not disappointed at all. read more

So came here with my son to have a drink because he turned 21 and wanted to get a drink with me. The chips were stale. The service was awful. They checked on us 1x. So we just paid and didn't order anything else. Very disappointed from the last time. Ambiance was as it always was. read more

I swear the food gets better each time!! Hand-painted chairs and table to create a warm ambiance. The service is absolutely amazing, very personable highlight of our trip everytime read more

Rio Grande - Sopitas - Mexican Near Me - Coulee Dam, Washington

What a treat! Today is Monday and when all other restaurants were closed Rio Grande was open and ready to serve. Not only did they help with recommendations, but very attentive to a large group with kids. This was fresh food, soft tender rice, an amazing Carnitas taco plate, and fresh cabbage salsa to go with the chips. Of course the regular red salsa was with the chips and it was good too. This place is fantastic for your family and a great treat while traveling in the area. Did I say they were nice and friendly, well they are and they kept thanking our group for coming in. Oh yeah it was 99 degrees outside at 9:30 pm and they didn't skimp on the ice beverages. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Rio Grande - Overlooking the Grand Coulee Dam. - Mexican Near Me - Coulee Dam, Washington

Great service nice place and friendly folks but by no means is the food any good. Had chicken mole first time. Not good. Sweet and no spice in the sauce. Went for lunch today and ordered beef fajita place. Meat was over seasoned and like 10 small strips. Beans and rice are ok but bland. Why is the Mexican food so horrible in this state? (I'm from Texas) La Presa in town is worst. $22 for barely there meat. If u like Mexican food and you're Anglo who thinks Mayo is spicy then this is the place for u read more

Rio Grande - Firsts fries(without most of the toppings), Quesadilla, and the sour cream and guacamole on side - Mexican Near Me - Coulee Dam, Washington

This was the first time trying out Rio grande, it's been open for awhile but never tried it out until today and enjoyed it. There's not alot of places to eat on a Sunday here in grand coulee and thankful they were. We ordered the fiesta Platter and 2 tall coke bottles and the price wasn't bad. Platter came with nachos, chicken taquitos, hot wings and mini quesadillas and it was all very good. I especially loved the hot wings as I like breaded wings over sauce and it also came with chips and salsa and if the salsa was a bit hotter I would've liked it as it was mild to me but that's personal preference. Overall I'll be ordering or even dining in as I have literally complaints and good job to Rio grande in coulee dam and if you haven't been there go check it out. read more

Only ate there once. Once was enough. I ordered a chili relleno combination dish. Watery is not what you want! Obviously frozen. Nothing appeared fresh. Service was no better. Rice was a little too crunchy? Old? Eating partner, always orders taco combo's. Sloppy, soggy, taco shell. Grease was prevalent. Don't waste your time or money. read more

They said it closed at 9pm. Walked in at 8:30 and they said ToGo only?! Not good. There were people in there sitting and eating. Say you close at 8;30! read more

Standard Mexican food taste, less greasy than average (which is good of course). Great views of grand coulee dam. Service was very good, but they did bring appetizer 2-3 minutes before entrees, so a rush to eat the items that would get cold first. read more

Too good to be true? No! Get here now. Delicious and fresh Mexican food for the whole family. As incredible as the food is, there is a spectacular view of the grand coulee dam from their gigantic wraparound patio. My party of 7 had a variety of food mostly vegetarian. The chimichangas, burritos, and chile rellenos were outstanding. They greet you with crunchy fresh chips, coleslaw and salsa. All the food tasted super fresh, not greasy or salty - but yummy and fresh. We've eaten at all sorts for fMexican restaurants worldwide, and would come back in a heartbeat to support this family owned restaurant with fabulous vistas and vibes. read more

The restaurant has kind employees who check on you often, is clean, has a lot of seating for the spot they are in. It also has outdoor dining. I absolutely love the food. It is so fresh and my family always wants to eat there. The menu has all the things you would expect for a Mexican restaurant.. They also can make enchiladas with a gluten free green sauce, which is nice and very good. The portions are large and perfect for me. They have a really good ice tea and other drink options such as fountain, alcoholic, and bolted drinks. Bathrooms are clan as well and prices are cheaper or comparable to the other options in town! read more

Good Mexican restaurant near Grand Coulee Dam. Not many vegetarian options, but the burritos and enchiladas were good. It was super hot so we dined indoors, but the patios looked nice. read more

Very friendly service. Great selection of foods. Their tamales are very tasty with lots of meat. The price for the lunch special was great for the amount of food you get. The restaurant has a great view of the Coulee Dam. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are around the town. read more

The food is bland at best, after ordering food was dropped off and never saw a server again, soda had a moldy taste to it (soda fountain was dirty) no chance to ask for a hot sauce or even asked if everything was alright or if we needed anything else. I have worked as a server and chef for years including at Mexican resteraunts. I would not go here again read more

stoped for lunch. Fabulous food friendly Staff great prices.

Great food, great service! The team is so wonderful, professional, and helpful. Open on Monday is an added bonus! A great choice in a small town! We will be back! read more

Overall, a pretty good place to stop. The food was good, but nothing particularly special or amazing. Their churros were really good though, definitely worth coming back just for those. Tasted homemade! The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. A good experience but nothing that really stood out. Without the churros it would probably be a 3/5 but the churros alone are enough to raise it to a 4/5. The best food we've had in Grand Coulee so far! read more

Great food! Great view! Great service. Spinach enchiladas were great. Planning on some camarones next trip

Delicious food, fresh with alot of flavor! Im hoping to try a margarita my next time around! A must if you are in the area if you are craving Mexican food! The only Mexican restaurant I'll ever go to when in the area. Great food and service! The view is also amazing! Loved every bit of our dinner. The staff Was friendly and attentive! read more

Had a fantastic dining experience on a Monday night. The staff was super friendly and attentive.

I highly recommend this place and hope they will still be here next time we vacation here! read more
