One of the very few places thats been around for decades in NE Arkansas. So much history inside these walls and even some pictures on the walls to give you an understanding. Owned & operated by some of the nicest folks & staff is always so helpful. Food is good. It's 100% American version of Mexican dishes as you can see in pictures. I am a big fan of the Taco Burgers! Really enjoy visiting this place because of the nostalgia & service. read more

I love Taco Rio! I dine there at least once a day. It's my go to. I've lived in Paragould for 2 decades and just discovered it recently on my bicycle headed to Hays (which I recently discovered) Boy I'm glad I did. Dallas is a hidden gem, he always makes the service quick. Love the scenery and ambiance. read more

Everything was absolutely . The best taco Tuesday ever. The tacos were perfect and everything was fresh.

Place has been a staple for awhile. Sometimes you just need that Rio. You need those taco burgers. Whatever that cheese is that they give you with the chips, I need to know. I'm sure it comes from a can, but I need to know because I'm addicted. read more

Updating my review. Gotta be 5 stars when I drive 45min just to get 79 cent tacos on Tuesday. This stuff is oddly addictive. read more

I thought I was going to find an authentic little hole in the wall but it's far from that. The food was ok though . chicken nachos are like what you could make at home in your kitchen. Beef taco was good. I liked their hot sauce. More like eating at a church kitchen on Mexican food night. Complete with a prayer corner. Very Arkansas-ish read more

This use to be a normal spot to eat. I moved to Colorado for 7 years and just moved back to Arkansas. I visited Taco Casa hoping it would be just as good as remembered. They did not disappoint. Great Food. Their Meat Nachos is the best. read more

I'm updating my review because as many times as I've eaten here, I obviously like it and I think it know deserves a 4 star review. I love the thin, crispy chips. I really enjoy the bean burrito. I just saw that they have street tacos now, which I will HAVE TO TRY. I wonder what their version of a street taco is...? I love the hard shell tacos. Yum. With the hot sauce. The salad that comes with the dinners have a Catalina type dressing on them, which is great. Taco Rio is definitely unique because I've never been to another place like it. It's the most American taco place ever. You'll have to eat here to know what I mean. read more

Saw mixed reviews, and decided to give it a shot. This is the worst example of a Mexican restaurant I have ever seen. Although signs say all is fresh, very little actually tasted fresh at all. The food was not terrible, but it was not great either. And it definitely was not a truely Mexican meal. There are many better options locally. If you are not looking for a great Mexican meal, and just want cheap food, this may be a good option. The single redeeming factor.... Cheap! read more

Definitely NOT Mexican food. Nothing ethnic or authentic about it, unless you are talking about local southern home cooking. Very bland, no hint of Mexican to any of the dishes we tried. The "meat" was barely identifiable, the crumbly texture appeared to be ground beef, but the grayish color and lack of any kind of flavor made it questionable. Everything tasted either old are fabricated, nothing fresh or tasty in anything we tried. Will not go there again and will discourage anyone else from visiting! read more

For the location it was the only real choice. Togo portions were small but the chili and chicken tacos were good.

This is an Americanized Mexican restaurant...sort of like taco bell. I love their taco salads. They are huge and they come with lots of chips. They also have taco burgers that my stepson loves. And the food is not expensive. read more

I simply love this place. I found it while going a private school in Arkansas. It's a fast food style diner with booth and table seating. It's located in a strip mall that's been around for decades! I recommend getting tge taco burger! If you don't your loss. I was just telling my hubby tonight that I wanted to drive over just to get a couple of taco burgers. He's in for a treat when we do! read more

If you actually decide to eat here, you're taking your life in your own hands. The kitchen, which is in plain view, is literally disgusting. I watched a guy sweep up with stuff floating into the air, which of course lands on the food. There is nothing remotely mexican about this place. It's simply bad food. I came here once when washing clothes for a quick bite and decided I would never walk through the doors again. It's dirty overall. You'll do better at Taco Bell. read more

old school and always good. The Taco burgers rock!

Accidentally came in 5 minutes before they were closing, they told us we were more than welcome to sit to eat inside anyway. Staff were so friendly and the food was AMAZING! Can't beat .69 cent tacos on Tuesday! read more

I work for a delivery service near this area and our market was expanding to this market as well. My job is to provide partner support to our partnered restaurants, whether that be technical support or just basic support between my company and the partnered restaurant's business. The owner of this restaurant requested that our company provide service and delivery options from his restaurant like we were going to for other restaurants in the area. He went through the correct channels to obtain a tablet to receive his orders and after it was mailed to him I simply needed to go in and set it up for them to begin receiving orders. I had been all around town that day setting up other tablets for our other partners in that area and when I got to this one, the owner wasn't present for me to setup the tablet, but wanted to be present so that he could see how it would all work. No problem! I told my fellow associate who's job is the same as mine and she tried to go the next day when he would be there. Simple fix. After all, this market wasn't going live for another few days so we still had time to educate the proper people before it was supposed to start receiving orders. Unfortunately the owner wasn't present when we were told he would be when my fellow associate went to setup and show him around the tablet and how it operates. Again, no problem we still have two days to set it up! Unforeseen circumstances prevented me from being able to revisit this restaurant the next day so I didn't make it to the restaurant until the date that they were supposed to go live. I made it to the restaurant as soon as I was able, and within the time frame given to us to ensure the owner would be there as he leaves midway through each day. When I came in I checked the see how busy they were as I didn't want to infringe upon business to our partners. He had three people in the restaurant waiting for to go orders as they were only open to limited capacity during this corona outbreak. Seeing this I continued to the counter where I met the owner. I explained that I was there to setup and show how to use the tablet. The owner then responds saying, "Well, this in not the time. We are busy!" I tried to simply explain that today was the day to go live and that both me and my other associate had been trying for a few days now to setup the tablet that he requested. Keep in mind all other partners in this area where already up and running ready to accept orders. This was our last restaurant to get running. But before I could even get a few words out, the owner yelled "STOP, JUST STOP! I have customers in the store and I'm not going to have this argument with you!" Hearing this and immediately feeling embarrassed and knowing that this was one of our partners, I knew I couldn't say anything. So I simply walked out. When I turned around to walk away the owner couldn't resist to add "Yeah that's right, just walk away!" Our company has sense pulled out of this market for unrelated reasons and what a relief it was to me. Of course I love the company I work for and I love helping our partners anyways I can to better bring business to them. Especially during this outbreak that has been affecting businesses so much! To be spoken to the way I was by this owner when all I was trying to do was setup a service that HE requested, is completely despicable. Again it is my job to keep good relationships with any restaurant that I walk into, as an un-partnered restaurant could always become a partner, and of course we have to keep good relationships with the partners we already have so that we keep them on and continue helping them bring in extra revenue. I will be honest, I don't know if the food here is good or not as I have never eaten there. But I definitely won't ever find out as I have absolutely no desire to go back into this place ever again. I have never been so embarrassed while on my job. Especially in front of potential customers that might have ordered food from us in the future. read more

I like to support small town businesses. This is not Mexican at its finest but it's fair for a "hole in the wall" place to eat. Happy hour is nice for half price tacos from 2-5. The taco meat is better than taco bell. It's supposed to have a famous taco burger. My wife loves this place read more

I went a year ago and got a taco with catalina dressing. I was like "hmmm not bad". So now a year later I tried their tamale dinner and was like WOW reaaaly good!. So i returned this weekend with my hubbie and son and was like ok i think im getting hooked!. I LOVEEEE their tamale dinner and the endless chips and nacho cheese sauce has totally won my family over. Its not the best mexican and its very laid back but for some reason were addicted. read more
