    Margaritas flight on Cinco de Mayo.

    Love the staff. Very helpful & friendly. I particularly like their white sauce. I had cheese enchiladas & a beef taco.

    We went here for dinner on a Saturday night while staying in Weatherford. There is a private parking lot so parking was easy. We entered and were seated immediately. Our server also appeared almost immediately. The menu is enormous so we had to send her away while we tried to digest the literally dozens of choices. The inside is dark and sexy. It felt like Mexico. We started with homemade salsa and chips. The salsa was good but not at all spicy. The chips were light and not greasy. Good start. We ordered Martinez martinis and they were excellent. Pretty strong but not enough so that I could not have more than one. The wife ordered the tacos de la barilla with brisket, which is a grilled taco. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The rice was good. The bean soup was outstanding. It would have been better if there was an au jus for dipping, but she did get a very spicy green sauce for dipping. The only problem was that some of the avocado pieces had rotten parts, so that was either an oversight or not caring about quality. They were not edible. I had grilled chili relleno and really liked it. I had fajita chicken inside and it was tender. The entire relleno was really good. I got a spicy sauce that was truly spicy. It was sooo good. Our server Melisa was excellent. She was helpful and friendly. Service was all-around efficient. We don't get to Weatherford very often, but I would definitely consider returning here again the next time.

    July 06, 2024 We were visiting family in the area and we came here for a meal. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff who assisted us were very fast, and attentive throughout our visit. Plenty of food was brought out, and all of it was absolutely delicious.

    The atmosphere is nice and the chips were really good. The salsa is also good with a kick. That's where it ended up the food was a grease fest and lacking flavor. It was bland and just not good. My girlfriend got the shrimp quesadilla. Same thing with hers. Just not good. The service was fast though and it sounds like the party life may be fun here. I wouldn't come for the food though.

    I am what you call a regular at Rio Mambo. My boyfriend and I go there 3-4 times a month at least. I probably go more than that by myself. Eric, the bartender, has been there for many years and always gives great service. The food is consistently good, and they have a variety of dishes to choose from. Some of my favorites are the Salmon Yucatan, the fajita nachos, and the Tacos Chinos. You can never go wrong with the Ft. Worth margarita, which is their house margarita (frozen or on the rocks) with a small bottle of champagne - instead of a beer, with a half shot of Grand Marnier on top. And my favorite The Attitude Adjustment, which is their mango frozen margarita with some of their house made sangria and topped with a half shot of tequila. The atmosphere is casual and, at times, a little noisy, but it is always a good time.

    we had the sour cream enchiladas, which were great that we read the reviews on which took us there in the first place. We also ordered the taco salad, which was very good. The meat was chopped up more fine, but the portion was a little smaller than we're used tothe food however was very good along with the salsa.

    Everything we ordered was flavorful and delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and consistently checked in. The manager was making her rounds and checking in on the guest to make sure their experience was good. I will definitely make sure to visit again soon. The food and service were great!

    I am not sure why I haven't been here sooner and I can't wait to go back!! Wow! Sooo much flavor on every single bite! The shrimp were amazing! Little spicy, awesome texture, just so good. Great service. Drinks look amazing! The restaurant is beautiful on the inside. Go try it for yourself!!

    I'm considering a celebration of life event at rio mambo. Has anyone had such an event there? Did you feel you had enough privacy, etc?

    I have not had an event there. But they do have an area inside the restaurant that could possibly be used for private events. Also, I have received emails from their e-club to book graduation events at their location... I would call the restaurant… Read more

    Our family of 8 met up there on Father's Day for supper. The place was crowded, as we expected, but…read moreafter about a 10 min wait we were seated & service was provided promptly. Kyler was an excellent waiter & kept us supplied with plenty of delicious chips, salsa & cold drinks--what more could you ask for? All of us had various entrees & the only complaint was that the ground beef on the taco salad was cold. And when we alerted Kyler he corrected this quickly. The fajitas were excellent with a lot of onions & bell peppers. The fajitas for 1 was ordered for 2 people & was sufficient for both of us, even with enough to take home for leftovers. The frozen margaritas were very tasty & paired well with our entrees. Oh, the many pictures of customer's dogs on the walls was a nice homey touch & fun to look at. All in all it was a good Tex-Mex experience for us all & we'll definitely be back. And we'll ask for Kyler if he's available.

    Awful service feedback regarding our visit to Chuy's in Weatherford today on Father's day around…read more7pm. I have heard negative things about this location on the Weatherford Facebook page, and the choice was between Cheddar's, and Chuy's, my family suggested Cheddar's, and I chose to dine with you, but unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing due to poor service from Ryanne N. regarding the following issues during my visit: Slow, and inattentive service to the point that we had to flag down another server over to our table minutes after the disappearanceof our server, even though the restaurant did not appear overly busy. But the icing on the cake was that when she finally came and asked if we were okay, and i made her aware of substandard service, and told her that my food arrived cold, incorrect, and poorly prepared "tortilla torn to shreds,and soggy from being 8n the window too long. She became rude, and defensive statind " I have been doing TOGO Orders this whole time, and I'm tired" her arrogance, and inability to hear feedback changed the mood of the whole table. Her manager came and offered to swap the order for something else but by then the rest of the table were done and the vibe had changed. Never did we get an apologetic comment. So with that said i wish i had chosen Cheddar's since they dont have a problem with brown people over there. The lack of professionalism, and Staff arrogance is a problem that you guys need to fix at once because never have we dined in a place with such subtle defensive server as we did with Ryanne As a paying customer, I expect a basic standard of hospitality and efficiency, just like anyone else butthe poor experience significantly detracted from what was meant to be an enjoyable evening. And that was worse. Please do better

    I'm going 4 stars, "I'm a fan" for the whole experience…read more So I've know for many years that there is a place to eat INSIDE David's Stove Shop ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/davids-stove-shop-weatherford ). Sounds like it was called "The Shed" ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-shed-weatherford-4 ), but now it's called Manny's Cafe. Unless you enter from the west end of the building, you must walk through David's to get to Manny's. It's an odd experience, and you really wonder if there is a place to eat back here... But keep walking, and follow the signs, and you do find a sit down restaurant complete with table service. Breakfast and lunch is served. We came for lunch. For lunch I had a burger. Thuy had the catfish. Burger was OK. Nothing fancy. Just your basic burger with LOPT (lettuce, onion, pickle, tomato). Thuy's catfish is more noteworthy. I don't think it was a frozen product, and do believe it was cornmeal battered to order, as where the onion rings, which came highly recommended. Very tasty. It was a neat dining experience, and glad we tried it. Also, special shout out to the woman working the dinning room. I forgot her name, but she was super sweet and friendly, and answered our numerous questions with a smile. Oh, and the tip on the onions rinds was appreciated. We are glad we ordered them! Afterwards, we did wander through David's, and that was a neat experience too. Cell service is kinda sketchy, but there is free WiFi (see photo). Bottom line: Kinda wish I had tried the previous place too.
