The Republic of the Rio Grande

Everything we orders was super tasty. Went w my colleagues and they all loved it. The service can be a bit spotty but the place really rocks. Reservation is recommended. I highly recommend the fried Calamari and the Fish Veracruz. God, that Cilantro rice is to die for. Their drinks were good too. The portion size are huge. Hope to go back sometime soon.. Having said all this, I would like the owners of this place to treat their staff well and show more care so in turn the staff would treat their patrons better. In the day and age or for that matter ever, can you take your customers for granted. After all, the customers make you what you are, so please care a little more.

Wonderful place, good food and excellent service, all the staff were nice friendly and helpful. Auto-tip charged if too large a group, we had 7 and were charged 18%. I added to the tip for 25%. The only issues were that our seats were hard (& one guest hurt her knee on the table cause it was hard to move the chair). This looked like it was the only table and chairs like that. If the weather is nice, the outside seating would be my choice, it looked inviting. Also, voices carried, so it was noisy for the number of people there. On the classy side and very clean. Second trip. Sat outside, quite pleasant and service very good. Food has been exceptional both visits...

Travelling for work and came across this place. It has a 4.6 on google and I can’t wrap my head around that. The place was slammed and the only seating was at the bar. So I sat down and waited and waited. There was one guy working the bar and he was the most miserable person I think I’ve come across in the service industry. He was zero help with any of my questions, never smiled, never thanked me. I finally order food and man what a let down. Should I have ordered steak? Probably. But I ordered pizza. Why they even have pizza on the menu is beyond me because this is a steakhouse, or so they say. This was the worst pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was trash. It was so thin and oily and the cheese was hard. I think I ate two slices and that was out of force. I couldn’t stand to eat any more. If you are a true steakhouse, take the pizza off the menu. I left here really underwhelmed. Hope everyone else has a better experience!

We had exceptional service here, and the food is delicious. This is our second visit here, the GM Brandon Martin is very hospitable, and he treated us as if we we're old friends. Frankie Fuentes was our host, he’s very attentive, constantly checking on our comfort and needs. He helped navigate through the dinner and desert, he’s been amazing during both visits here. We will definitely be returning.

Good place for dinner. It was super hot when I was in the valley, so we ate inside. Otherwise, I would have enjoyed the patio with live music. Definitely would like to go back in the cooler upcoming months. I had the Enchiladas Del Mar. They were really good. The Enchiladas had both shrimp and fish in them. Service was also worth noting. Our waiter did an excellent job!

I had the pleasure of dining at Republic of the Rio Grande in Mission, Texas, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a great meal. What truly stood out, though, was our waiter, Lenny. He was absolutely fantastic. He paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of perfect, making us feel right at home. Lenny was incredibly thoughtful about our dietary restrictions and allergies, which I truly appreciated. He took the time to ensure we felt comfortable with the menu options and was knowledgeable about ingredients, making sure we had a safe and enjoyable meal. Overall, Republic of the Rio Grande delivered both in food quality and service. If you’re in the area, definitely make a reservation and ask for Lenny—he’ll take care of you!

We’re a family of 4 that dined in on a Saturday night. The restaurant was busy, but that didn’t stop us from having exceptional service and a great time. Our food came out deliciously. There was a small mix up on one of our plates’ sides and Miguel, our waiter, made it right immediately! We got the ribeye steak sandwiches and a rotisserie chicken. For dessert, we got their famous strawberry white chocolate almond taco. It was so creamy and sweet! We appreciate Miguel Calderon for his great sense of humor and hospitality. We loved it here and will definitely be back again the next time we are in town!
