I really wanted to like this place! Im visiting from out of town and I had high hopes for it based on the great reviews. Its nothing special, though. The staff was friendly enough, but not nearly as warm and attentive as described in many of the reviews. The salsa and queso dip were both really good. The enchilada was average. The refried beans were okay, but they had a strange taste to them. The rice was bland. The taco was disappointing. I wanted a taco where the tortilla was folded and fried (preferably with the meat inside) for my order. I even asked about this and was told that was how it was done. Instead it was a fried yellow corn taco shell - not much different from what you would get at Taco Bell. The shredded beef inside (that I paid extra for) had no seasoning and lacked flavor. I guess I am spoiled growing up in Southern California and eating great Mexican food for so many years...because nothing in Oregon or Washington even comes close!

First time customer, lived in the area almost 10 years. Asked waitress whats most popular dish, Carne Asada was one (so I went with it). My lady ordered the combo. 2 enchiladas and a beef taco. Service was pretty good, food was bland. To their credit, steak was cooked as ordered (medium), but was under seasoned, beans were runny, and onions werent cooked all the way. Didnt order drinks, so cant review. In Auburn, would definitely go to Las Margaritas ($) off of 15th for flavorful Mexican food and decent prices, Moctezuma ($$) if you can travel to Tacoma or Southcenter. We will not be returning here.

We have been coming here as a family since I was a little kid and I love it so much. The staff knows us and is extremely friendly to everyone. They make you feel like their family and even greet you with "hola familia" when you come in. The food IS AMAZING. It has incredible flavor and the service is fast. You will not regret making this your go-to Mexican restaurant. My favorite dishes are the chicken carnitas burrito and the carne asada!

Were new to the area and it was our first time eating here last night. The food was amazing and the service was good also. I had a seafood dish with salmon, shrimp, scallops, calamari, crab, mushrooms cooked in butter, garlic and wine and served on a bed of rice. It was delicious and lots of seafood, will definitely be going back.

I have been coming here for over 20 years. I dont care for any other Mexican restaurants. My kids want to come here when they come to visit. They are family. They treat myself and my family as such. I cant recommend this place high enough!

Great service. Husband had carne asada. I had two tacos. Kids had hamburgers. All the food was good. My only criticism would be that the chips were unsalted and therefore bland and the rice was dry. Ill come back though.

Drove all the way from puyallup, the one out there closed. Puyallup is at least 25 mins away. So it worth it!!!! I thought they served beans with the salsa, but doesnt even hurt the fact that this is Great Food!

There is no place better than Rio Blanco. Ask for Filipe! But even if you dont get him, everyone is great. The food is so good and filling. Flautas, nachos supreme, chicken carnitas burrito, the list goes in...

Authentic Mexican food.. great selection on the menu.. the Margaritas are killer! And the Carne Asada & Chile Rellenos are the best Ive had in this area.. I grew up in Texas, and this really takes me back...

I grew up in L.A. on Mexican food. Ive eaten at at least 200 different Mexican food restaurants. I eat here twice a week at least. Its not the best ever, just consistently good. Definitely four stars!!

Classic Americanized menu: tacos, burritos, chimichangas, etc. Everything tastes fresh. Portions are large. Service friendly and attentive. A welcoming local joint.

All of the food was amazing. Especially liked the Beef Carnitas burrito. They also have blanco queso cheese dip which Ive been searching for since I left Georgia.
