Their birria taco's are delicious, and the horchsta taste so good I doubt I'll ever find better. The customer service is so great, and we're greeted with smiles everytime. They also don't hold back on the amount of food they're serving. I only have nice things to say about this place and I love taking my big backed friends here. A must go, and I recommend going.

Such great classic tacos! My family wanted to try all three taco shops along Foster between Kimball and Kedzie and this was our final one. So glad we did because it’s the best of the three! The asada tacos had great flavor, good meat, good size, and the rice and beans was delicious. Good tamarindo and horchata as well. We got our food quickly and also ate it quickly because it was so delicious. Can’t wait to try other things on the menu and enjoy the back patio!

My wife and I had just come out of the doctor’s office while deciding on whether to go to our usual places to have a bite. We instead decided to look for a nearby restaurant and Rio Tacos appeared on the search among others. She had the carne asada plate and I had a taco dinner. Both dishes were delicious and their red and green sauces were super tasty - we decided to take some home, haha. Oh! Another thing, their horchata was awesome. It’s so hard to find a restaurant with some good horchata like Rio Taco’s restaurant. We’ll be back again.

Simply the best reasonably priced taco on the Northside. I know the owner trusted someone else to run the business for a period, which resulted in a dramatic reduction in quality. The people causing the problems were terminated and it’s back to its original glory. The steak burrito is terrific too!

The tacos were really good, some of the best I've had. I called to modify my order and I received the original order, which is okay but I would've like to try the al pastor. The restaurant itself looked to be in a bit of disarray, not sure if it's a great place to dine in. Unfortunately just seemed there was one overwhelmed guy working so I totally get it

Amazing staff and food. MUST try there Horrchata!! They also have a nice patio outside in the back.

I go here every week. I am very picky about tacos and these are so good! I usually have the shrimp and the rojas poblano tacos and they are always excellent. So, I can't speak to other items. They are really friendly too!

Our experience at Rios was amazing the service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious we will definitely be eating there more often Thanks
