El Rio - Pigeon

Glad it opened back up. Menu change a definite improvement.

Amazing place food is always on point and service is amazing

Full disclosure. I have been here a few times and had a few different items. None were very good and all of my experiences were pretty lackluster. I repeated because of the lack of places to eat in pigeon. Tastes like everything is out of a can and islacking seasoning. This time I got a burrito and a chicken taco. Both tasted cold and just weren?t very good. Only Mexicanrestaurant I?ve visited where chips and salsa are not brought to your table. Instead you can pay $5 and get canned salsa. Myservice this last time was very slow. It took 30 minutes to get my food while on my lunch break. This was my last trip to ElRio. My advice would be to go to Taco Bell, the food is actually better there.

The crispy dishes were so crunchy that they fell apart, the Spanish rice was dry and lacked flavor, and the chicken tacos had shredded chicken instead of ground chicken. We wished they had mild salsa. The waitress mentioned they could get a new chef to improve the dishes. On the positive side, the beer was cold and the toppings on the tacos were delicious.

On July 13th at 1:30, we decided to try out this restaurant. The exterior was a bit confusing, but we were pleasantly surprised once we stepped inside. My husband and I were so happy we stopped by! Unfortunately, I didn't catch our server's name, but I do know she is from Harbor Beach and she was one of the kindest servers I have ever had. I hope the owner appreciates her value.
