Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Like other reviews say its very americanized and get the lunch portion unless you want lots of leftovers. Food: Okay. I've had the chicken enchiladas which were decent enough and the chile rellenos. I'm a chile rellenos fanatic so these were sub-par compared to the best I've had but for the location decent. The cheese and chile were actually very good but the fried outside a little to soggy. Service was fairly friendly but the decor and exterior look....West Virginian. It has a drive through, enough said. Overall, if your craving mexican food, can't cook, and want above frozen dinner status then give it a try. It's just nothing to write home to your madre about.

Typical Mexican restaurant for the area. Food is pretty good and prices are as cheap. Always quick service. You will not be blown away by anything but you won't be overly disappointed either. If you have been to a standard Mexican restaurant, you have essentially been here.

If you're wanting the taste of Mexican food, this place is okay. Really, it's been very Americanized. Compared to other Mexican restaurants in town, it's pretty bland--but I know that some folks like that. If anything, this place is a good baby step for those seeking only to dabble in Mexican food. The portions are pretty epic though, no joke. I always get lunch portions because you're dreaming if you think you can nail a regular entree by yourself--though it can be accomplished if you work with someone else! The service isn't anything spectacular, in fact on things like getting more chips or drink refills it can be downright slow. But you can always get a table here, I've never seen the place packed.

No, no, no. I've lived here for 23 years and this is the only restaurant I absolutely refuse to eat at, no matter who I'm with. The food is terrible--it tastes like canned meat with far too much sauce poured on it. Bland canned meat with an acrid stench. The menu looks like it was drawn up in wordpad without any bother for order or punctuation. The only time this place is halfway acceptable to visit is Margarita night, when they have cheap pitchers of Margaritas--but even then I wouldn't recommend them. The food isn't good and their recorded health code violations are insane. Terrible food. Terrible restaurant. Be sure to say hi to the dude that sits under a photo of himself and does nothing.

Hate seeing these poor reviews because we LOVE this place. We go here usually every Saturday. Never crowded, but I think that's only because there's another one a few blocks over. Lightening fast service. Like literally in less than 5 minutes of ordering your foods there. And the reviewer saying the servers are unfriendly is Insane! Sweetest bunch you'll ever meet. Jose is amazing, and they remember you. EVERYTIME we come in just the two of us, they say Pitcher on the rocks no salt? Lol. And if the kids are with us, Jose or one of the others brings out my one margarita and a soft drink for my fiancé. They even remember what meals you typically order. And it's surprisingly one of the cleanest places in town. Margaritas are awesome and Great price. I'll take their margaritas over Any other restaurant in town. Is it an upscale place with fancy decor? Of course not, they're a low priced Casual Mexican restaurant down the street from a college. The more you visit, the more enjoyable the experience.

These reviews are weird, and I can't help but wonder if it's because the reviewers haven't had a lot of Mexican food. I've traveled the world and I've had Mexican food at a lot of places, and to describe the food here as "Americanized" is so off-base that it's confounding. This is authentic Mexican food, and it's delicious. My partner and I have kind of made this "our place" because it's constantly empty. We've been perhaps 6 times in 3 months, and with the exception of one time we were the only people there at dinner time. He enjoys the fajitas, whereas I am a big fan of their tacos a'la carte. 3 for $5 isn't bad, you'd pay the same at taco bell but these are authentic street tacos. So delicious. The reason for the 3 stars is because the decor, atmosphere and staff are really kind of a bummer. The place is done up in dollar store crepe paper decorations that look like they're leftover from a ghetto quinceañera. The outside (as you will see from the photo I've uploaded) looks almost like a desolate warehouse. It reminds me of the place the women went to in Bridesmaids. The worst part unfortunately is that the staff is ALWAYS unwelcoming and unfriendly. They're aren't mean or openly hostile, but they NEVER smile and always seem put off or irritated that we're even there. If the food wasn't so damned good we probably would stop going. I honestly don't know why they are ALWAYS so unpleasant!

Food was decent, it was not the best Mexican food I have had, but the price was not bad. Service was pretty good, I would recommend this place if your looking for cheap, fair Mexican food.

Whoo hoo! Another first! This was my first experience with Mexican food and it was delicious. My college roommate and I still reminisce about the wonderfulness that is Rio Grande! It's a local chain (not the big national chain) with a few locations in Huntington and Charleston. It's not the most authentic...though management and the staff is for certain. It's a little tex-mex, but yummy (I'm ruined since eating authentic Mexican food, including cactus salsa, in San Antonio!). Free chips and salsa with every meal, but be sure to order the cheese dip. I haven't had anything like it since leaving Huntington. It's fantastic. The chips are great too, mostly because they're warmed before brought to your table. The portions are HUGE! I could never finish them. My favorite was the chicken taquitos, though this is an appetizer it was extremely filling and delicious. Again, I haven't had taquitos like those since leaving Huntington. You can get them filled with steak or even a combination. If you order from the menu you get rice and beans with the meal. Fantastic! And, of course, the margaritas are to die for. They're made with a special kind of sweet and sour mix, I think. Get them by the pitcher and share with friends. You'll thank me. For you out of towners--just hop off the interstate and take the local highway east. You'll run by the place on the main drag and be happy you did. I miss Rio Grande!!!
