Moving to West Virginia from Texas, I’ll admit I was nervous about finding authentic, high-quality Tex-Mex. I honestly didn’t think I’d find anything that could compete with what I was used to back home—but El Rio completely proved me wrong!
The food here is absolutely fantastic. I was shocked to find such legitimate Tex-Mex flavors tucked away in Oak Hill. Specifically, I am obsessed with the chimichangas. They are perfectly crisp, flavorful, and exactly what I’m looking for when I need a comfort meal.
Beyond the food, the experience is always top-notch:
• Fast Service: Even when they’re busy, the food comes out hot and fresh in no time.
• Great Staff: The servers are incredibly friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in.
If you’re a fellow Texan or just someone who knows their way around a good plate of Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop by El Rio. It’s a local gem!

Workers were friendly. My daughter got the steak && shrimp && asked for the t-bone steak to be medium rare && received something overcooked that tasted more like a pork chop. However, the shrimp was on point. My two youngest got mac n cheese with fries && the Mac n cheese was dry. I got the Special La Azteca && it was good, but they could’ve cooked the peppers a little longer. Also got a long Island iced tea && it had hardly any flavor, but was really strong on the alcohol halfway through. Overall, i think the food is alright, but not worth what they charge.

We are new to the area, so we’re getting to know the restaurants around us. We heard good things about El Rio, so we gave it a try. Whenever we try a new Mexican food place, we get the fajitas so we can compare to other places. El Rio didn’t disappoint. In fact, they win as the best fajitas place around this area. We’ve come back a couple times. They are consistent and the food tasted the same every time.

Great service, tasty food & drinks, perfect place for any time meal with Family, Friends & *others. Portions are plenty. Prices are reasonable. Waitstaff is great. They keep drinks filled & needs are met. Plenty of space for a small group. Highly recommend El Rio to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food and atmosphere. I’m looking forward to my next visit. Their steak and shrimp is the best around! YummY!

Good food and staff, just like the Wendy’s :>
Though the atmosphere is not my favorite aesthetic, I can tell that a lot of work was put into it

Very mediocre Mexican restaurant. Had to ask for hot sauce twice, waiter rarely came around, hardly any alcohol in the margaritas, and the food was bland. The interior was pretty cool. About the only interesting point about this place.

Had a good experience with their Vegetarian selection.
We ordered #3 with quesadillas, burrito, and chalupa. And it was definitely good. Expect to have familiar expectations from usual mexican restaurants.
