Rio Latin Bistro

First time going and 10/10
Friendly staff, waitress was very attentive and friendly.
The food was exquisite. Fresh, presentable.
I had a Peruvian dish. Steak cooked to perfection, the rice was fluffy yet firm. Absolutely delicious! So so much flavor, I could hardly keep my fork down!
I had a mixed drink and that was phenomenal! Not too strong, not watered down. You tasted the flavor of the passion fruit and the alcohol. Greatly displayed! Had an orchid as garnish.
The price wasn’t bad, food and a drink. Less than $40. It was a great portion of food for the price. Definitely returning!
Can’t wait to go back!

Most delish Latin food in the AV. Situated on the east end of Lancaster blvd. I dug the little plant flower vibe they had hanging on the wall. The background music was at the right octave. But, the decor did not do the food justice! We were looking for something different in flavor. Something to break the monotony. And let me tell you, we found it! Everything was prepared with amazing flavor, temperature, texture, and presentation. We started with the Chicharron con yucca. For drinks, we enjoyed the Caipirinha and a Paloma that the waitress suggested (sorry, I don't remember which one). For dinner, we had the Picada Colombiana and Lamb Plate. Hands down, from the starter to the dinner to the drinks were amazing. I wanted more but was full before I finished. The portions were perfect. Thank you for the amazing food.

I'm always shocked at the amount of food you get for such a good price. It doesn't matter what I'm craving, RIO always gets it 100%
My favorite it the saltado de pollo. The ambiance is upscale but not fussy, no dress code just a great restaurant, good food, and the perfect location. I always walk around lancaster blvd after eating here so I can see what's new and window shop

Best meal I've had in a very long time. Steak and vegetables was amazing.

Sooo Delicious! Loved going here. Was served by Roger and amazing drinks by Emanuel, they were such a pleasure to be around, and I enjoyed the atmosphere and short wait time to get my meal and appetizers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

They have a new popper taco, Chile stuffed with cream cheese and ham and wrapped in bacon on home made tortilla…Wow! I also had the cubed bacon shoulder with the fresh guacamole and homemade chips. Soooo good!!!

We all loved it. Everything was delicious!

Riquísimo todo

Was pleasantly surprised with my dine in experience. It was a little pricey, but the Brazilian all you can eat was delicious. The service was responsive, courteous and helpful with deciphering menu options. Service gets a 5, presentation gets a 4.5 and flavor gets a 4. This is not at the Las Vegas level, but a great lunch or dinner date with the significant other in downtown Lancaster. Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of the food because I was too busy eating it.

It’s good but it seems like the quality is not as good like when they opened. The portions also hit a lot smaller and they try to charge you for anything you ask for. Salsa is cheap that’s why most Mexican restaurant won’t charge for it , here they do not a good look. They need to stop being to stingy and get back to good portions.

Got sick after eating here Tuesday night never again
