Rio Mambo — Restaurant in Fort Worth

I love Rio Mambo and for about 3 years now I’ve been part of a support group of 6-12 people meeting here for brunch every month. A couple of weeks ago we were told by the waitress that she can only take 3 orders at a time in her wee i pad, so our group had to divide up into groups of 2 or 3 to order then one person in each group had to pay and the others paid that person back. Not at all convenient if everyone wants to use a credit or debit card! When I inquired about this new policy I was told that groups of 15 or more would have to choose from a set menu of 4 items and no individual tickets, only one ticket. This change is very inconvenient and restrictive for customers. In our group some people order from the brunch menu and others order from the main menu. I was told this was to make things easier for the wait staff because they are very short staffed. Another support group I belong to go to another Rio Mambo and were told the same thing and they cancelled their reservation. My group is now in the process of finding another restaurant to take our business to. I think you are going to lose customers on this and remember word of mouth travels fast. Update review on 2/6/22. My group went for brunch on this date and everything was great, back to normal. We got individual tickets and had a great waiter. The only thing was that we couldn’t sit in the back area as requested because they said they didn’t have wait staff for back there. However I guess some came in because they were seat people there...

5 Stars – Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish!

Dining at Rio Mambo was truly an exceptional experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly smiles and seated quickly, even though the restaurant was clearly popular and bustling. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and comfortable, with tasteful décor and a welcoming vibe that sets the tone for a great meal.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. We started with their chips and salsa—crisp, warm chips paired with a fresh and flavorful salsa that had just the right amount of kick. For our entrees, we ordered the steak fajitas and the shrimp enchiladas. Both dishes were beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The fajitas arrived sizzling hot, tender and juicy with generous portions, and the enchiladas were creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor.

The drinks were just as impressive. Their signature margaritas are a must-try—balanced, refreshing, and dangerously good!

Service was attentive, professional, and friendly without being intrusive. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and offered excellent recommendations.

Rio Mambo is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Whether it’s a date night, family dinner, or special celebration, this place hits the mark every time. A definite...

First time going yesterday on September 4th around 4pm. I had a male waiter with blonde hair. He kept coughing and had very poor hygiene which made me not trust the food he kept bringing out. It also took them a very long time to bring us nachos, drinks etc. Luckily, several other waiters stepped in to check on us and ask how we were doing. Overall, customer service I felt we could have had a better waiter he didn’t really connect with us and towards the end he tried to make a joke saying “ that will be $256 then laughed. It wasn’t funny to me and felt as if he was trying to connect after it was time to pay the bill. Honestly, I won’t be coming back, the food was okay, they kept getting my order wrong and the waiter would say “ I told them” then would grab stuff from my plate and take a million years to come back. Also I asked for my beans on the side and realized I didn’t get that. When I asked for my pico del Gallo the waiter said “ I don’t like it it’s spicy to me”. So you didn’t bring it because YOU don’t like it? Honestly I had a bad experience and feel like a paid $84 and still felt hungry and not satisfied. I left a tip to be nice but I really shouldn’t have. In conclusion I won’t be coming back. I decided to try this place out because of the reviews and drove over 30+ minutes and was...
