Consistently great food and service. Classic Tex -Mex menu. Happy hour drinks are great and plenty of seating for a group of co-workers to enjoy together. read more

Busy and had great reviews on Google! Our waitress was wonderful!! So kind and attentive. We only ordered an appetizer, which had queso, brisket and spinach quesadillas, flautas, and nachos! We didn't realize initially that the appetizer came with queso, so ordered a bowl size portion of their queso (which was a literal cereal bowl portion of queso!) Only $2 more than a cup, so definitely worth getting the bowl size. Queso really did have a weird after flavor otherwise it was good. Like a powdery freezer burn flavor don't know how to describe it or what actually caused it... Salsa was mild. Food otherwise was good for Tex Mex. On the fence on whether this is a 3 or 4 star review. read more

Consistently tasty menu & service. Spacious & relaxing vibes. Lunch menu had something for all. My combination plate with 2 (beef & chicken) enchiladas & soft brisket taco hit the comfort spot. Chips & salsa were fine. Jalapeño margarita was mild but tasty with Tahin on the rim. read more

Me and my daughter went to try out the lunch specials. Walking in, it was a cool atmosphere and staff was welcoming. We sat in the bar area and had one of the best servers in a long time. She was amazing. She had the whole bar to herself, and managed it all like a pro. I wish I got her name. The good was really good and very filling. Nice portions and of course chips and salsa. I loved the salsa, it had a little kick to it. We got two different kinds of enchiladas and both were great! We will definitely be back and try happy hour next! read more

Driving by and decided to give Rio Mambo's happy hour a try. It was not bad but not great. The margaritas, prices, and service for HH were good but the food was just ok. All of the food was really pretty bland. We tried the queso, flautas, and cheese quesadilla. The flautas were light on the chicken and no seasoning. The cheese quesadilla was just boring. The rest of their food may be better but I was not impressed with the HH offerings. read more

Service was extremely slow. Some people nearby were busing their own tables and dropping the plates off at the bar. Another couple left without ever ordering because they got tired of waiting. Food quality has gone down a lot. I could deal with just average TexMex, but the lack of service is a deal breaker. Several things I asked for were never delivered. read more

Ok for starters the food there is great! everything they do is really good the best Margaritas and the food they serve is great, and I can honestly say the service here ( Fort Worth) is Awesome the people really make it feel like your home. the Ambiance feels like its a bit upscale but not fancy but the prices don't! read more

Food was ok not great. The quesadillas were a disappointment. The Service was almost non-existant. Server did not check up on us. Had to flag her down to get her attention and service, especially for drink refills. The manager was not on duty and made no attempt to help. Restaurant was loud and the ambiance was poor. Next time I'll go to EL Fenix where I know the food and service are much better. read more

Glenda LOVES Mexican food, which means we go all the time. Well, I found a place I love! Rio Mambo is a really nice restaurant, and has food to match. Glenda always gets sour cream chicken enchiladas, and she loved the chicken and spinach enchiladas. Chowed them down! My heart throb is the Rio Grande appetizer plate. Everything is delicious. Start with the brisket and onion quesadilla. Then the spinach and cheese quesadilla. Both beef and chicken nachos. Regular bean and cheese nacho. Add some flautas and some guacamole. And top it off with some great queso. This platter rings my bell! It is wonderful, and so big I always have leftovers. Next time you need Mexican food, try Rio Mambo! read more

Let's just say I had higher hopes for dinner. Our food was fine but nothing was excellent. Most people left food on their plate and that wasn't due to portion size. Service was sad. Our waitress didn't even bring us waters for 20 minutes and the place wasn't busy. The wait staff kept standing around talking to each other completely ignoring most of the tables. It just seems like there was no one managing them and they knew it. Someone at our table was always out of a drink and we had to go find someone to fill it. Overall the experience was not great. Oh well, not ever place can be a winner I suppose. read more

My friend since Middle School wanted to meet here for brunch. I agreed so, I could catch up with her. We meet here at 10:30 am on a Saturday morning. There were a handful of people on each side of restaurant and they were fully staffed. My friend wanted to sit by the bar. I would not suggest that because, the cold draft comes from the front door. We had a very attentive Server named Chris, who was giving John Cusack vibes but, Mexican. Lol. He was very friendly and a bit sarcastic. Not complaining sarcasm is funny. Lol. Chris was very welcoming from the get go. He also made a lot of suggestions to order. He was very enthusiastic as well. Then when we ordered he was reinforcing our order choices. For example, I ordered the Chicken Tortilla Soup. He said, Ahh, a hot bowl of Soup on a cold day! Chris brought out my soup and even poured the broth on top of soup. It was a nice touch. He checked on us several times even though he was serving the other side of the bar. Also, a Hispanic lady asked to refill my drink. Her timing was perfect. My Tortilla Soup was warm with lots of Tortilla Strips and a hearty chunk of Chicken with a few pieces of shredded Chicken. It was salty and flavorful. Mmmm so good! The Salsa was fresh a little spicy but got flavorful with each bite! I can see why people love this place. The service was excellent and the food was flavorful! read more

We've been eating at Rio Mambos ever since it opened in 2001 & it has become our favorite go-to Mexican food restaurant. We especially like their fajitas & quesadillas. Their frozen Miami Vice is a favorite of mine, also. And their crispy chips & queso are as good as it gets. However, on a recent visit I noticed what disrepair their seating booths are in. On almost all of them the faux-leather cushions have become badly cracked with the underlying cushion material being exposed. And I noticed as we were leaving that the weather stripping on the front door had become detached & was flopping around as you entered or exited. I hate to see an otherwise great eating establishment become tarnished by repairs that should be so easy to make. It really takes away my appetite to be seated on such damaged furnishings. Rio Mambo, you can & SHOULD do much better. read more

$10 Bloody Mary - Average at Best and a $9 (very small) Vodka Soda Well $9. Very expensive and low quality. No Thank You

Tania G is the best! I wanted to get a catered dinner for 20 that I would pick up and bring home. I was nervous as in what if the food is not ready? She was all over it with suggestions and ideas and when I pulled up to the restaurant on Saturday, she had it all ready and waiting and helped me carry it to my car. She is clever and personable. If she's not already a manager... she should be. Thank you! read more

Good stuff. Touristy? Maybe...but still very good. Drinks not very strong. Chips / salsa were yummy but not any better than let's say a "Chuy's". read more

The new (corporate) owners dumbed-down the menu. It was "Chef Mex" now it's average Tex-Mex. Sadly it has affected long-time customers most.

The food was yummy!! Definitely recommend! The quality was great and definitely will be back. The service was good. (Thank you Jessica!) and the restaurant was very clean!! read more

10 to 15 of us meet for Sunday brunch about once a month and the staff is always so accommodating with setting up our table, and serving our food and splitting up the checks individually. Plenty of parking and lots of tables in the dining area. It's gets crowded, so go early. The hot sauce and chips are fresh and tasty. The brunch menu is definitely worth checking out; so many delicious choices. Can't wait for our next get together there! read more

Needed an evening out with friends for dinner & drinks. This was the perfect place! My friend made a reservation on Open Table. We got there & they had our table ready in just a few minutes. Server was great as people started showing up she would get drinks. She gave us time to chat before taking our dinner orders. Everyone loved their food & drinks. It was such a wonderful time for all. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! The smokiness on the queso and beef was amazing. The service was a little rocky- I made reservations online and then when my reservation texted me my table was ready, I went inside and they said it would be 30 mins, even tho they were seating other people. As we were about to say something to the host, all of a sudden our table was ready. We weren't mad, just an odd experience. Food was delicious though! Can't wait to visit Fort Worth again just for this place!! read more

Eventually this place will run itself into the ground like uncle Julio's. We used to enjoy the place but will never go there again. The workers are ok but the menu has changed for the worse and the food is horrible yet the prices are still high for terrible food. We were the Sunday and the place was empty......Wonder why. STAY AWAY AND GO ELSEWHERE. read more

I came in with group of friends and the server did not check on us only gave us water to start and after that she didn't even ask us for drinks just kept waters out and then she looked so annoyed like she didn't want to be there . They mest up our order and asked for some crema verde for the actual plate it was supposed to go on and they CHARGED US ! LIKE IT WAS NOT EVEN BUSY FOR HER TO NO COME AND CHECK ON US had empty water glasses for more then 10 minutes and did not see her around we asked manager for help and she also had a little attitude and looked at us all weird . All she did was sent another server our way to clearly just picked up our plates cause we was already done being there made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable clearly not a good first experience! read more

My wife and I have been going to Rio Mambo in Fort Worth about once a month for a number of years. Last night we ate there with another couple and were disappointed. They had changed their menu and have cut their proportions. I ordered my usual bowl of queso blanco ($12), and the bowl was half full and cold! I ordered my usual 1/2 order of Beracho Natcho......the waiter said we don't do that anymore. The other couple ordered shrimp with their meal ($3 each) and asked the waiter to make sure he brings their favorite sweet and sour sauce with the shrimp. The waiter said "we don't do that anymore. Sad changes there. read more

We are expert Tex-Mex eaters ;-) So five-stars for us is always EARNED, as Rio Mambo did today. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for four reasons: (1) food is outstandingly delicious - flavorful, fresh, authentic (special shout-out for the Tacos de Pescado (fish tacos), Tamales, and THE SALSA that is perfectly spicy). (2) service is perfection - quick, attentive, patient, very kind (bonus: you pay with cc at the table via the waitstaff's handhelds). (3) location is SO GREAT - just off Bryant Irvin at I-20 & seconds from Chisholm Trail Pwky with TONS of parking. (4) decor is welcoming & warm PLUS they have TWO patios. Visit and you WILL love Rio Mambo also. read more

Saturday lunch date on 6/24 and had never been here before. I absolutely loved everything here. I will say, walking in, it did smell like fish...for a min I thought I was at a sushi place. Service was outstanding! Tried the margarita flight and they were pretty good but nothing outstanding. Salsa was fresh and delicious. Spinach enchiladas were delicious and the chicken quesadilla was huge. All in all a good restaurant. Will def be back. read more

Rio Mambo is always a good time. It has an inviting family ambiance if you sit in the main dining area and more of a let's get drunk vibe closer to the bar lol. We sat a the bar and ordered a Fort Worth margarita. They are strong and a lot to drink but it does the trick every time. I ordered fajitas that were great. Well seasoned protein just wish the veggies were cooked a little longer but no biggie. The bacon wrapped shrimp were a pleasant surprised since the bacon was so crispy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The service at the bar was A1. The staff gave good recommendations on the food and were entertaining to say the least. Their ability to keep eyes on everyone drinks as it was a pretty good crowd in that area was impressive. You definitely should go and get yourself a forth worth margarita read more

It is delicious. Their service is phenomenal. Everybody is completely friendly. Their prices are reasonable. They're happy hour is really nice. Good appetizers for cheap Now. There is no question. If I'm anywhere near Fort Worth. I'm gonna figure out a way to have a meal at real mambo, great ambience, great food, quick service, friendly people. read more

Food is presented well. Restaurant is very loud. Service is usually good. Management has made some small disappointing changes. When I order the sampler platter I would think that pickled jalapeños would be included, but no. They will charge you $1.99 for a few. Thank you-I will be bringing my own. Last week they stopped serving extra chicken tortilla soup in a small silver pitcher. Really? How cheap is broth? Asked management and was told they will not be serving extra soup like they used to. Very very disappointing. Come on Rio Mambo. You can do better. There are many choices for Mexican food on Fort Worth. read more

Was staying at a hotel nearby on a girls weekend and decided to pop in for a pregame. Loved the margarita flight! Food was delicious and atmosphere was fun. Only hiccup is we had to move tables cuz of the cold air and then we were forgotten about, but after that everything was great. We had so much fun we never made it past the pregame. Haha! Would definitely go back. read more
