Rio Verde - Morgantown

During my time in Morgantown, I've come to know two parties when it comes to Tex Mex: There are the Los loyalists and the Rio loyalists. I belong to a small not a huge fan of Mexican food contingent. But, when I recently learned that Rio Grande III changed to Rio Verde, I was tasked with checking it out.Unfortunately, I have no idea if the menu is different, because I had only been here previously like once. So, it could just be a change in name or it could be owners or a whole overhaul. I'm not sure. Someone who was a Rio Grande devotee, lemme know.The interior was a bit sparse, but it looked to have a cool mural on the far wall. Basic, quick service with no devoted server just whoever was free to top off drinks or fill our chip basket. But, a fairly steady stream of people coming in for lunch.So, my best bet for satisfaction at a Tex Mex restaurant is queso. It's my saving grace. So, after the initial chips and salsa came out, I immediately put in a request for queso. And, it was fine. It seemed kind of ... condensed? I dunno; I've had better.All of the lunch options are essentially some combination of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, or chalupas. I've had tacos and burritos more times than I can count, so I went with Special Lunch #16, which had a chalupa and chicken enchilada with rice.

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Morgantown hands down. You have to try the margaritas and the chimichangas.

Rio grande. Rio has the best food and fastest service in the area. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Mexican food!!!!!

Love it!. Rio is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Morgantown! Their good never disappoints and they have the best queso in town. Not to mention you get a ton of food for an amazing price. Definitely worth checking out!

Great lunch as usual. Wonderful holiday atmosphere. If you need a good lunch, fast and at a good price point nothing beats Rio Grande III. Had the usual lunch #12 and it was very good. Came to the table less than 10 minutes after I ordered. Service was great as well, once seated there were chips on the table in less than 1minute, and my tea was always full without asking for refills. Would recommend to anyone. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!!
