Baja Rio's Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in Cove

We happened across this little hole in the wall headed back to Texas from little Missouri falls in Arkansas. Now we are from Texas so we love our mexican food. We spoke to other customers and they recommended their burritos. My husband ordered it. When they brought out our food we were in for a surprise. The burrito was big enough to feed 3 people, easily! It contained everything but the kitchen sick and tasted amazing. For 2 teenagers and 2 adults we paid about $45 and had enough food to feed all of us for two days. The waitress was very attentive and told us that they have another burrito that's 2x's bigger and weighs 13lbs. They don't advertise it but if you finish that entire 13lb. burrito you get a free meal! We will definitely be back to try the contest next...

Pleasantly surprised to find this local gem in the small town of Cove. We are new to this area and were trying out things/places around here, which does not have a lot to offer 😂😂😂 Came here on a Saturday evening, it wasn’t crazy busy but did have steady traffic, that’s always a good sign. Hubby had the enchilada Mexicans because that’s what he always orders in Mexican restaurant. I had the lunch street taco which comes in 3, the dinner portion has 5 and that’s probably good for 2 meals. The steak (in taco) is well seasoned but a little on the dry side to my taste, I like my meat juicer and tenderer, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was cordial and everyone is friendly, definitely will come back during our few...

Rave...Good flavors. Good lettuce. Good portions. Rant...The salsa was too salty. The quesadilla was waterlogged. (Fyi:Tortilla turns back to dough when it gets wet!) I couldn't pick it up & eat it. Maybe a teaspoon of pico on the lettuce. I had to get our own silverware & napkins. We can overlook those rants & try again. Edit after owner responded... The salsa was not that salty before, I've been there a dozen times since it was opened. Next time I'll order the fajita meal on its own. It had very good flavors. It's worth stopping in again. Thank you for addressing the quesadilla problem. If you find a solution I'd like to know. No restaurant I've been to can come up with one that isn't drowned in...
