Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Driving home from Florida we stayed in Lumberton and looked for a Mexican Restaurant. There were a few close to our motel. We drove to one and walked inside and it just didn’t feel good. So we ended up at El Rio Grande. A friend met us there for dinner. It’s in a strip mall so it has lots of parking but no aesthetics. The food was good with a large selection to pick from. It seems to have a good local following. There was one group of about 20 people sitting at a long table. The service was great. The server came over many times to check if we needed anything. While they had an alright selection of tequila they didn’t have any bubbly water (Topo Chico, Pelegrina) so we asked if we could bring some in to mix our own drinks. We ordered four shots of Casamigos Tequila and asked for 3 glasses with ice and some lime. We made ranch waters (muddled lime, tequila, Topo Chico) at our table. It turned out to be a good meal.

I ordered “Little Bit of Everything” off their menu and when it came out I noticed that the meat and cheese I got tasted very closely to a Philly cheesesteak and I was very unimpressed. When I got my chimichanga and enchilada they were both dry and drenched in sauce. I’m not saying you shouldn’t eat here just be careful with what you order. From other people in my party quesadillas were good.
