Rio Mambo S. Arlington was a great experience-we could sit outside without it being overwhelmingly hot (misting fans). The service was excellent. Our server rocked and management was attentive to needs and our last minute changes. The atmosphere was inviting . The food was good and the drink selection was excellent. Will be going back for girls' night!

Terrible service can't make up for good food. The last time we were at Rio mambo was for my birthday last year which they totally ruined by ignoring my open table reservation for 8 even after I drove to the restaurant that afternoon and spoke to the manager who walked out on the patio to see where we wanted to be seated. Then we got there with a party of 8 a little early and he had given the spot away and had no place for us. Then when we were served, two meals were wrong. When I communicated with the restaurant the next day, I never even heard from them. So we try again, 7 months later. We arrived and gave our name. The hostesses didn't check anything and we said we would like to sit outside. I mentioned open table when we arrived and mentioned it again when we were seated. She finally said, "we really don't do that during the week". I responded that we used open table partially for the points. She didn't respond. I don't see that we have our points. I don't know what relationship open table has with the restaurants but Rio mambo didn't honor our reservation through open table. We're through unless another location has decent management.

Waiter was very nice, very good service. Hostess was quite unenthusiastic. Food was so-so. Very Americanized food than Mexican and portions were somewhat on the small side. Place was quite empty so may be a sign that not many people like it as much either. Too much good competition for Mexican food in Texas to have 'so-so' food.

It was a good experience but they did not have our reservation from Open table. Lucky for us, the restaurant was empty and we were seated immediately. Great brunch price and wonderful mimosas! Service was a bit slow as the restaurant filled for brunch. Next time I will select a different breakfast option as I wasn't thrilled with my main course choice. My fault, but fortunately there are lots of options for the brunch price! We will return.

We had several issues while we were visiting on Mother's Day. A plate didn't make it out, come to find out it had been dropped and was being remade. We waited 10 minutes for the plate to arrive instead of eating in front of our guest so our food was cold. My order was wrong, my cheese and onion enchilidas were only cheese, the waitress forgot the extra sauce on my veggies and then brought sour cream instead, which wasnt requested, and charged us extra for it! When I am paying $90 for my family to eat, I definitely expect more than this! We will likely not return to this location.

Not a great experience. Tables weren't bussed in a timely manner. Took forever to get chips and my drink. Then my drink had a piece of plastic in it. It was the white sangria which was meh. I thought the floating red piece was part of the cherry. They took it off of my ticket and offered another drink, but I declined. They brought me a to go box. Then I realized there were 2 pieces of hair on it, so I just threw the whole thing away. Never going back to this place.

Reservations mean nothing at Rio Mambo! The food can't make up for terrible service! Choose another restaurant. I made reservations for 8 on the patio for my birthday several days in advance. I left work the day of the reservation and went to Rio Mambo to assure that everything was in place. Juan was the acting manager and I told him that it was my BD and we had reservations for 6:30 on the patio for a party of 8. We went to look at the patio and I asked if we could have a less busy area to the left and he said he would put three tables together on the left hand side. He assured me everything would be ready. We all arrived on time at 6:30. Juan was at the entrance and we could see that the patio was pretty full and there was NO set up for us. The area that Juan had told me he would set up for us was full of another party. He was not concerned at all nor apologetic. I was very confused and concerned. Juan was nonchalant. He said he would set up something for us. We waited for over 15 minutes. Finally the girl led us to two full sized tables with a small table for two added to the end. This meant that 3 of our party was going to have to crowd around the small table which was uneven with all the other tables. My son and I agreed this would not work and my son, along with a server, moved an empty table to replace the small table for two. Juan made it obvious that he didn’t like what we did and we only saw him one other time during the evening when we asked him for silverware. I will say that our server was friendly even though there were errors on two of the dinners. Our He was helpful and polite. Juan never offered one word of apology, explanation, or check on us the rest of the night. Quite the contrary, he had the opinion that we had inconvenienced him. He felt no responsibility for neglecting to do what he said he would do. We sent an email to the restaurant and they didn't bother to respond.
