Nachos and nachitos here are LEGENDARY. As is the Salsa Bar. Hands down - Best in the Bay! All the food here is great; though better for carnivores, as they don't have many dishes with a ton of fresh produce (most veggies are cooked across menu options). Also wish they offered a taco salad in crispy shell. These two reasons are why I docked a star. Service is always with a smile; and the ambience is fast-casual though authentic New Mexican vibe (much better than Chipotle down the street!). Highly recommend; just wish they'd cater more to vegetarians with the fresh veggies!

This place is my family favorite. I'd come here just for the chips and salsa, but the rest of the dishes are great too. But back to the salsa - the corn and bean salsa is not to be missed!

Been back here a few times post-pandemic and they quality and quantity has improved a lot. It has become our go to quick Mexican dinner place again and we are enjoying it tremendously. Nachos are a favorite in our family and we order it every time. Will be back soon again.

It has a cozy authentic mexican joint vibe. Not one of those high end flashy places, if you love mexican food and a good salsa this is the place. Never been disppointed with quantity served. Service is quick but remember to ask for your nachos they rub out quickly.

Very friendly, generous portions and cozy interior with outdoor patio seating. The big winner of this place is the salsa bar and free chips that come with your meal - they have a large variety of fresh all-you-can-eat salsas. They were so generous with refilling our chips and giving us to-go containers for salsa too. The Havasu salad is seriously large - no joke! I did see from reviews that it's a big portion but I wasn't expecting it to be THAT large. It can easily feed 2 people and possibly more. We got it with grilled shrimp which was absolutely delicious with the char-grilled flavor. The mahi mahi burrito was also massive, and it was crisp and refreshing with plenty of cabbage and grilled seasoned fish. Paired with their salsa and it was delicious. Service was so friendly, and they offered a generous amount of to-go containers. They were so accommodating! We'll definitely be back!

I need to get back here. Had a great time. First, I think the record needs to be set straight here. Some people are calling this authentic Mexican food. It's not. It's authentic New Mexican food. And not like bougie Mexican food that just smears sriracha and garlic aioli on everything and maybe smears bone marrow on random things (aka, the way people use the term "New American"). Insert Montgomery Burns voice: "there's a /NEW/ Mexico???" And there is! The state of New Mexico. In the American Southwest! It's a real place! I met someone who drove through once and people wouldn't lie to you over the internet. And as far as I can tell, the food is excellent. New Mexican cuisine is sort of related to Tex-Mex, which I guess makes it a nicer cousin of Taco Bell. But there are many differences. It's as hearty and thick as Tex-Mex, also with lots of awesome fried things, but it's actually a lot more flavorful in many ways - with a heavy dependence on corn, chili, and hot sauces. Anyways, I ordered the pork adobo burrito. I should I actually gotten the enchiladas because they seem even larger. But it was still great. The burrito had everything I would want it. Good balance of cheese, vegetables, rice, etc. etc. The pork came in a nicely flavorful, smoky sauce. The pork was kind of dry but burrito pork kind of always is - that is why the Lady Guadalupe bestowed salsa onto us. And that moves me onto the next point. Finally, it has to stressed that the salsa bar is AWESOME. Many salsa bars have been tragically eliminated by COVID-19, possibly the greatest casualty of the pandemic besides the millions of dead people and aspects of my sense of smell, but the Rio Adobe salsa bar had a huge amount of salsas with very different flavors. Try out all of them! The corn salsa is my favorite! And very authentically New Mexican. The super hot New Mexican salsa is also great. I wouldn't call it super hot, but it's decently spicy. Definitely a good burn. Anyways, this place is highly recommended. Hugely excited about going back again. One of my favorite places in the South Bay!

I used to enjoy burritos that were as big as the plate, but it's been a while since I found one like that. I'm thrilled to say this place brought back those memories with their generous, hearty burritos. The portions are satisfying and the flavors are spot on. Thanks for making my meal so enjoyable and for bringing back a bit of nostalgia!

I always did take out during my college years when I worked at a newspaper company that would give us free food for ads. After 8 years, I dined in and I am surprised how great the food and atmosphere is here! Personally I would say this is better than LA cueva, even though that is my go to spot! There is an assortment of salsas to choose from and complimentary chips! We shared some nachos that were loaded and I got the cheese enchiladas which were hot and so flavorful. This is a great spot that I will be taking my mom to!

One of the most authentic mexican restaurants I have tried in the bay so far. I got the chicken enchilada which was super yummy. The portions are generous for the price. Specially love the variety of self serve salsas they have. Also liked the ambiance of the restaurant which does justice to the type of cuisine served. Would recommend dining.

I have been coming to Rio Adobe for years and the food never disappoints. The service is so friendly, the ambiance is colorful, and free chips + salsa bar?? What more can you ask for? I am shocked at how amazing everything tastes here, in addition to how insanely big the portions are! It is almost guaranteed that i will have leftovers for the next day. My favorites here are the enchiladas plate with salsa verde. It comes with two enchiladas, generously stuffed with meat and topped with cheese, and rice and beans. I also love the salads- they are massive and have a nice variety of ingredients. I can also vouch for the taco plate (comes with two tacos of choice; rice, and beans) and the carnitas plate. Overall, rio Adobe checks the marks for price, ambiance, service, value, and taste! It is also a great spot to meet up with friends.
