Rio Balsas Taqueria - Alpharetta

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 is not what I had in mind

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.

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.

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!

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
