Reviews for Rio Mirage Café in Surprise, AZ
Nice authentic local place for good Mexican food! The place was pretty busy, which is a good nice! Service was quick and... friendly as they start you off with the typical nachos and salsa. The salsa was not spicy, so could have used a little morekick. Tried the chicken fajitas, which out steamy and hot to the touch. I wouldn?t recommend the corn tortilla as they weee alittle dry. Overall, the group was satisfied with their choices. Read more
This is my new favorite place for salsa! Left the perfect burn on my tongue without making me feel like needing to chug a glass... of milk. A bit pricey so it's definitely a place we would go as a "treat", but worth the price. Staff was very kind andpatient with me, and even tried to teach me how to pronounce the dish name correctly ????

I feel 3.5/4 star rating is adequate at this time but will gladly raise it to 5 stars if the cleanliness is corrected prior to... our next visit. This is a great restaurant to visit if you enjoy tasty meals and yummy drinks. The staff is always very friendlyincluding the attentive bartender. We've tried many of the dishes throughout the years and have never been dissatisfied, they'veall been delicious and plated well. The green chili dishes are my fave since it's made authenticity especially compared to otherrestaurants. The margaritas are absolutely yummy and I do recommend the strawberry margarita to everyone. The only complaints Ihave with this beautifully decorated restaurant is the cleanliness. Many times recently we've gotten menus that are filthy orhave debri inside. While that's result from messy patrons, one would hope menus would be wiped and sanitized prior to beinghanded out again. Also the restaurant itself needs to be thoroughly cleaned. There's a lot of dust and debri on the decor,dividers, walls, seat edges, etc. This is a favorite restaurant we've frequented often so I really hope the lack of tidinessisn't a reflexion of the kitchen. I have severe allergies and dust activates my asthma so I wasn't too surprised I left weezingafter our last visit. Read more
My wife and I ventured into Rio Mirage Cafe for the first time a few weeks ago (04/23). We arrived around 6pm and waited about... 15 minutes before being seated. Our waiter, Mark C, was a true entertainer. My wife and I have never laughed so hard, and solong, in a restaurant before. We literally had stomachaches from all of the rapid exercising of our diaphragms. The food wasfabuloso and the habanero salsa was spicy. If you are there for dinner, make sure you request Mark C?s section. You will not bedisappointed!!! Read more
Chips and salsa 7/10 good flavor, could be spicier. Caldo de res was on point. Lots of meat. Only downfall, no spicy chile... available to be added to my caldo. Read more
Overall, not bad but could be better. The restaurant wasn't busy on Sunday night when we went so we were sat right away. Staff... was friendly. Cleanliness could be better, food, napkins and spills on the floor on the short walk to our booth, and the tablehad some salsa on it that they missed when wiping it down. Perhaps it was because it was the end of the day. Chips and salsawere good, nice spicy salsa. I ordered the chimichanga, which was good but not crispy at all so it was more like a burrito. Myhusband ordered enchiladas and said they were really good. Read more
Beautifully decorated, authentic Mexican restaurant. Food is incredible, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Service is... stellar. They bring fresh, made in house chips and salsa while you wait for your food. Our waiters did not let our chip bowlempty. They were constantly refilling it - just amazing. The house margaritas are huge (and delicious) and they have a smallselection of craft beer on draft. The whole restaurant is decorated where no detail is missed. Wonderful place for a specialoccasion or date night! Read more
Service was great! Food was good...Definitely need the "lightly breaded fish" to be more lightly breaded...It unfortunately was... overcooked and heavily breaded. Loved the shrimp cocktail! Very tasty ???? Serve with chips instead of saltine crackers would bemy recommendation. Loved the staff! Each one of them were friendly "hi, welcome", "thank you for coming", "thanks for visitingtoday". Very courteous, respectful and prompt. Smiles are great for customers ???? Read more
