Rio Balsas Taqueria

Nice American/Mexican? Restaurant. Ingredients are above average quality. Tacos are actually 4.5 stars. A little bit if this review is biased, since I am of Mexican heritage and have traveled throughout Mexico and lived in Los Angeles for 34 years. NOT authentic Mexican, expensive (maybe it is not intended to be Mexican). My 2 kids just wanted tacos but the waitress could not find them a la carte on the menu but said they were on the computer. So we wanted 9 tacos total and 3 waters ended with rice and beans and little mountains of shredded lettuce and one carne asada steak instead of tacos, my kid was hungry and just took the thin steak. So 2 $13 taco plates and a $20 steak for a 3 year old...

although the service was not so good. the food came in and saved the day! the coke machine broke to add it. it's a pretty small place, but, quite quickly filled. the server left and right. I think, above all, because the others work there, not as fast as they went. but wait after a long 40 to 50min. I said eating to me is the only thing she could save. that happened! I didn't just go there yesterday, but also. the day after. the food slapps. If you want to take a girl, we have a chat. I'd say that's the place!

Eh, I should have known this wasn’t all that great when we walked in. It was only 2 other people inside and one person was just drinking. Our waitress was nice but that’s the only thing I can say which was nice. There were flies inside the place which I had to keep swatting away, my chicken tacos I ordered were extremely chewy. I couldn’t eat them all cause I was afraid the chicken wasn’t cooked all the way through. Sadly, I won’t be coming back here.

Food was good but cuz they charged us $2 per ounce of hot sauce and we didn't know till we saw the bill. Service was pleasant enough but we pretty much got rushed out when we slowed down eating it was well before closing and no one else was even there. Plus we took a barbacoa burrito with steak on the side 20) to go but got home to find there was no steak on the side just barbacoa :

pretty cozy restaurant, it makes them feel like home. staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu points. the food came quickly and fresh. They definitely recommend this place when they try to have a good lunch or dinner at a quieter place. I just have to say that the toilets were on the little side. follow me on ig: @hernandezsosaarmyrecruiter

This restaurant is straightforward and budget-friendly, offering delicious food and attentive service. While indoor seating is limited, there is ample space outside. Customers can often enjoy live music while dining. The fajita tacos are especially noteworthy. Overall, it provides a refreshing option compared to the more popular establishments.

The food was pretty good but the service was very slow. Even for simple things I had a long wait during down hours. It wasn’t packed, it wasn’t lunch or dinner time, just mid afternoon. Timely service is just too important to me

Servers are confused. Horrible service. Waitress argued with me over the price of a menu item for 5 minutes. Rude woman who only checked on us twice over an hour. No refills, wrong food. Never going back.

I think this can officially be called a hole in the wall. The food is oh so good. (Be sure to ask for the hot salsa. Everyone is nice and the margaritas are perfect.
