El Río Cantina — Restaurant in Mancos

I feel bad leaving one star for service because the bartender was a good guy and broke his butt to serve everyone. Unfortunately, the owner and his wife (I assume because they kept coming behind the bar) commandeered his time and attention because of the party they were part of. They could have helped him out, but didn’t. So, everyone else in the place had to wait. I hope they left him a great tip because he deserved one. They also tried to start some impromptu karaoke with a very load mic in a very small space. They should have just closed the place for their party. I’m a local and I doubt...

Jonah and Fancy did an amazing job turning what used to be a stale vacant lot into a thriving community hub and beautiful indoor/outdoor bar. Always friendly service, good vibes, and high quality drinks. El Rio Cantina is the only establishment open past 9 or 10pm and we appreciate them filling that much needed niche! To the negative review saying it was too loud one night- people used to bring horses into the old Columbine Bar across the street and sadly those days are gone. Downtown is downtown, let us let our hair down. El Rio brings a little bit of that old Mancos...

Flagrant disregard for the town's quiet hours. Outside sound system blaring music and patrons caring on until midnight. At one point, an employee got into his customized low rider and put on a show by bouncing the car up and down in the parking lot. There is a senior care home and two tourist lodgings next to the bar. At the very least, the outside music could of been turned off and everyone could of went inside. What do they expect when they open a business on a residential street? Clearly they think they can do what...
