Welcome to El Rio Mexican Cafe, located at 193 2nd St, Stevenson, WA. As a food enthusiast and reviewer, I was eager to dive into the vibrant flavors this place has to offer. El Rio blends the richness of traditional Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist, set in a cozy yet modern ambiance. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant promises a delightful culinary experience.
The menu shines with a lineup of mouthwatering starters and entrees that cater to diverse palates. For those starting their meal with a bang, I recommend the Sw Street Corn Nachos—a sumptuous treat bursting with flavor at just $13.75. The Chicken Rio Rolls are another star appetizer, equally delightful and priced similarly. These starters pave the way for what’s next on the menu.
When it comes to entrees, the options are both enticing and varied. Seafood lovers can indulge in the Cilantro Salmon Fish Tacos or the proven favorites like Southwest Black And Bleu Tacos and Chipotle Steak Tacos, both priced at $20.99. For a unique twist, I found the Blue Corn Enchilada Suizas to be an absolute must-try at $17.50. The rich, layered flavors in that dish truly reflect the authenticity that El Rio Mexican Cafe strives for.
The ambiance adheres to a contemporary design while also welcoming guests with the warmth typical of Mexican hospitality. Not only does the restaurant pride itself on excellent food, but the service is also commendable. Patrons rave about the friendliness of the staff—like Denise E's experience with her attentive server, Desmond, which made her meal even more enjoyable.
Many guests have expressed their satisfaction with both the portion sizes and flavor profiles of their meals. As Domingo Slava highlighted, the place boasts a "clean contemporary environment" paired with "extremely friendly staff." With reasonable prices and "stiff pours" for drinks, coupled with the attentive service noted by Nick & Sarah B, El Rio stands out as a local gem.
Overall, El Rio Mexican Cafe not only serves up delicious food but also creates a welcoming space for diners. Whether you visit for a casual meal with friends or a family gathering, expect flavors that will linger in your memory long after the last bite. With countless positive reviews and the promise of a great dining experience, I'm excited to return for another culinary adventure soon.

Highly recommended! The food was fantastic and I enjoyed their hot sauce collection
This restaurant is pretty great!! Good selection of remixed classics and all original menu items. Blue Corn Enchiladas, huge Fajitas salad, and delicious Street Corn Nachos. Margaritas were refreshing and strong. Our waiter was on point, always topping off drinks and checking in.
Great service and good food right off the highway. They have some local beers on tap. There was only one server and we brought in a big group without a reservation for a late lunch on a Sunday. He handled it like a pro and was very accommodating. There are some public spaces to eat nearby if you would prefer to eat outside.
Best texmex I've ever had - and it's in Washington! Food and drinks were amazing, service was great, and everyone was super friendly! Couldn't recommend more to anyone staying in the area
I was dreaming. I was in the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. When I woke up and I found out I was at El Rio Mexican restaurant. Seriously, this is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I live in Gig Harbor and I come down here once a year. I always eat here.
A special place for us! The first time I heard my guy say, I think I'm in love with you!!! So we have to come back to the place it all started! Lol !!! Always great service. The Skinny Margarita was refreshing and had a nice poor. Each meal is enough for lunch the next day!
