Was Bon Sharon Hamrick at Rio Mambo a mag?
We were warmly welcomed and seated by Hilda, my favorite waitress. I ordered the grilled tacos with rice and beans, while my husband chose the beef and chicken fajitas. He claimed they were the best he’s ever had, as the meat was tender and packed with amazing flavor. The food and service were exceptional! Hilda truly is a fantastic waitress. This is our go-to restaurant for Tex-Mex cuisine. - Don and Sharon Hamrick View all feedback.

What Daisyy dislikes about Rio Mambo:
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. View all feedback.

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.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Food is consistently good and service is very good. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it was overly warm inside and after making a comment to server, it did not seem to improve. Other than that; highly recommended.

Terrible service can not be for good eating. the last time we were in rio mambo was for my birthday last year, which they totally ruined by ignoring my open table reservation for 8 even after I went to the restaurant this afternoon and talked to the manager who went on the terrace to see where we wanted to sit. then we came with a party of 8 a little early and he had given the place away and had no place for us. then, when we were served, two meals were wrong.

I replied that we used an open table partly for the points. she didn't react. I don't see we have our points. I don't know which relationship has more open table with restaurants, but rio mambo has not honored our reservation by open table. we are through unless another location has a good management.
