I love this restaurant because for one it is vlose to my work. But also the employees are diligent at keeping their customers happy . The food tasted authentic. I love the guacamole. There is seating outside so you can relax near a pond. The inside the restaurant is delightful too. The ambiance is so relaxing.

We came here for lunch. It was amazing. We split a Supremeo Burrito with steak, the steak was seasoned perfect. It was more then enough for both for us! The service was great and the beer was huge!

I did not come to Charleston looking for good Mexican food, but that is what we found. The selections on the menu were exactly what I like. The carnitas enmoladas were tender and crispy. The mole was tasty. Service was excellent. The only negative is that this is not in my home town. If it was, it would be my new go to for Mexican.

I wish I had also taken a picture of my meal, but it didn't last long enough! This place was scrubbed so clean, the floors were shiny. Even the bathroom was incredibly clean! The social distancing was perfect, as well as the wait staff. The only thing I wanted for their salsa was a straw, but their fresh, hot corn chips were just as delicious! I didn't know this place existed, but now I have to become a regular...

Being from out of state we asked a friend where we could get good Mexican food. They recommended Rio Chico and it was great tasting authentic Mexican food, large portions, great flavors, good service and priced affordably which is something hard to find now adays-good food at a good price. I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed. We will most definitely be returning to Rio Chico again the next time we are visiting Mount Pleasant.
