From steaks to short ribs, chicken thighs to cheese with guava even steak with cheese sauce. It was delightful. Of course finished with some amazing grilled pineapple. The service was amazing.

Damn ... this place got expensive! I went here several years ago and decided that I wanted to try…read moreit again. The prices had tripled. I am not blaming the restaurant because the world post-covid has gone absolutely insane from an inflation standpoint. With beef as their 'go to' and chicken no longer being a 'loss leader's (now costing what steak did two years ago, it's not the restaurant's fault. However, I nearly fell out of my chair when I learned the All You Can eat lunch price was nearly $50! For this type of 'cafeteria', a total shocker. The other (better) option is the pay per pound. $17 for salad bar and meat and $20 for just meat. I did the salad bar ... you'd be surprised how much two plantains and a slice of tomato weigh! Salad bar: The rice was very good. The plantains were perfect. The French fries were surprisingly good. They had all kinds of fresh vegetables, mayonaise-covered salads and a huge variety of items. I suppose it would be worth it to get this alone ... however this is where the heavy items that add weight to the price are. Meat station: The guy serving was nice enough but spoke maybe two words of English. I speak English, Spanish and French but no Portuguese ... so we had a difficult time when it came to relating how big a slice I wanted, or how many pieces. My guess is that he is hired more for his expertise running the grill than for serving. And he did a great job as the meat was cooked perfectly. Bacon wrapped chicken ... The only disappointment of the meal. The chicken (and bacon) was dry. It really didn't taste like bacon and the only reason I finished my piece was because I had paid for it. Flank steak ... So good! The outside had a nice char with a salty, almost crunchy texture while the inside was juicy and flavorful. This was my favourite item and I actually went back to get a second plate, despite how filling it is. Garlic steak ... Incredibly salty. A little goes a long way. I didn't get any garlic taste ... it was mostly just salt. I liked it but would choose the flank steak (which is also salty) over this as the marinade made it a little drier. Pork sausage ... Very nice. I didn't notice a huge difference between the spicy and non-spicy but it was cooked really well and it was flavorful. Pineapple ... Okay, this is a must get! This was oddly my favorite part of the meal. I have never had pineapple this good. It is done on the grill with the entire pineapple and they slice pieces off. It is covered in a brown butter sauce that is so flavourful, it is certainly one of the best pineapple dishes I've ever eaten. Because there was a line and the pieces of paper with the meat choices are mostly in Portuguese, I didn't get to try all I'd have liked to ask ordering felt rushed with the line waiting behind me. The all-you-can eat will likely give you the opportunity to try a little of everything. Overall, the better value seems doing the pay by weight and going back for seconds if you are hungry. My first plate was some salad bar stuff (tomato slice, cucumber, plantains, yellow rice and a few french fries) plus a strip of flank steak, bacon wrapped chicken and a pork sausage. That was $17 and I could have stopped there. My second plate was two strips of flank steak, a strip of garlic steak, a piece of pineapple and two plantains from the salad bar. This one was $12. My total with a $2.25 lemon aid (terrible and flavorless from a jug) and a tip was around $35. Expensive for lunch ... but I probably didn't need as much steak on round 2 as I left feeling stuffed. Everything was tasty and while the atmosphere feels more like a cafeteria in a Caribbean country ... and the seating arrangement makes you snake through tables to get to the salad bar or meat station, everything seemed spotlessly clean. I will certainly return again, despite a fairly high lunch price. If there is one tip I can give you ... don't skip the pineapple from the meat station.

I visited Rio Viejo Mexican Restaurant in Worcester on Monday, May 18 at 4 PM for a graduation…read moredinner reservation I had made over a month in advance for a party of 10. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that our reservation had not been written down. They were ultimately able to accommodate us, but it immediately made us feel a bit unwelcome, especially considering we specifically reserved ahead of time so the restaurant could properly prepare and staff for a larger party. Once seated, the experience continued downhill. Our waitress appeared visibly frustrated or unhappy from the start, though I can't say for certain whether it was because of our party size. One of the first things we asked was whether the AC was working, since it was over 90 degrees that day, and we were informed that it was not functioning. While uncomfortable, we tried not to let it ruin the evening because this was my graduation celebration and we simply wanted to enjoy the meal together. Service throughout the night was extremely poor. The waitress only took half of the table's drink order initially, disappeared for around 10 minutes, then returned to finish taking the rest. The same delays happened again when taking food orders. After our orders were placed, she barely checked on our table at all. We repeatedly needed napkins, drink refills, and general assistance, but had difficulty getting her attention while she stood near the register on her phone for extended periods of time. As the restaurant became busier after 5 PM, we couldn't help but notice that other guests were being greeted, seated, and attended to much more promptly while our table of 10 felt forgotten and neglected for most of the evening. I understand larger parties can require more coordination and patience, and we were understanding about longer food wait times. However, basic attentiveness and hospitality were missing entirely. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant for larger parties and hope the wait staff receives additional customer service training moving forward.

The place was clean and had a really chill vibe, with Spanish music playing in the background -- such a nice atmosphere. I was excited to find out this spot is owned by the same people who run Sazon Latino on 130 Chandler St. in Worcester, which I already love. The difference here is that it's more of a full restaurant and bar experience, not just quick grab-and-go food. (Which is also still an option) Every single dish we tried was amazing -- not one complaint. The mofongo balls were to die for! Honestly, I'm surprised I'm the first to review this place and get their Yelp page going. I'm honored -- and trust me, I'll be back many times and spreading the word. Prices were super reasonable too. Our bill for three entrées, one appetizer, four palcha juices, and a shot of tequila came out to just under $100. Totally worth it for the quality and portion sizes.
