I forgot to take a picture until after we started digging in, so it was all mixed up by then; the food was really good! The atmosphere was beautiful and calm. The service was great and fast. The food was delicious and they had a great selection of dishes.

Went for lunch today and had a fabulous experience. The atmosphere is light and beautiful. Everything was very clean and the staff was beyond attentive. The food was delicious- guac was smooth and flavorful- not bland at all. The ground beef in my chimichanga was the best I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It was well seasoned but not greasy and it didn’t taste like mystery meat. The veggies were fresh and the pico was on point. Everyone had a great experience and we will definitely be back!!!

If you’re around Kernersville and want a place that delivers every time, you’ve got to stop by Rio Grande Kitchen & Cantina. This spot has that perfect hometown feel — laid-back, welcoming, and the kind of restaurant you can pull up to after a long day and know you’re going to leave full and happy.

I ordered the Arroz Tejano, and let me tell you… it was outstanding. Grilled steak, chicken, and shrimp served over rice and topped with that warm cheese dip — the flavors were bold, the portions were generous, and every bite felt like real comfort food done right. It’s one of those dishes you start recommending to people before you even finish your plate.

And shoutout to Kendall behind the bar. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smooth without ever hovering. That kind of service matters, and she absolutely brought the positive energy.

What I love most is how Rio Grande fits Kernersville perfectly — good people, great food, and a relaxed vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you’re meeting friends, grabbing dinner with family, or just looking for a solid local spot, this place checks all the boxes.

If you haven’t tried the Arroz Tejano yet, do yourself a favor and go. You’ll be glad you did.

Very nice place. Restaurant/Bar area was a little too
dim lit to my liking , but other wise great atmosphere. Booths were also plentiful with a great size for 4 people.

Food was great. Everything tasted awesome.
Drinks were also very good.

Good tv placement for viewing. Whole establishment was clean and nice looking.

Customer service was great and friendly. We will definitely be back and its a great addition to the area!

We came on a Thursday night, service was quick and friendly. Our server let us know the current promos and their specials for the night. We ordered a cheese dip, the Texas fajitas & the sopes with a frozen margarita. The food was pretty good, our only concern was the fajitas had a weird little smell and taste but that could’ve been from the shrimp. The margarita was great though, strong and good in flavor. The portion sizes are pretty good as well.

Stopped into Kernersville newest Mexican restaurant and it did not disappoint. The inside has great lighting and I’m looking forward to sitting in the inside patio area with the giant tv. All 3 of of meals were great.

I was a little suspect of a New Mexican restaurant off Union Cross, but I have to say it was very refreshing. Food was excellent. I had the street tacos and my wife had the 4 enchiladas. The only reason a 4 star on food was the chicken on my tacos had not very much taste. Also, the beans were not very flavorful. Now for the average person that may be fine. The carna asda tacos were on point! The meat was tender and had really good flavor. We definitely will be back!

Rodrigo went above and beyond, the lunch service was top notch. Antonio, the Manager, served our lunch with a smile and kind words. It was one of the best Chicken Fajitas and rice I’ve had in a while, great seasoning, freshness and presentation! My husband got the Smoked Chicken Burrito, it was flavorful and a great sized portion. The food was prepared quickly, and served fresh. We will definitely be returning, and recommending to others!

We’ve been twice so far. José took care of us at dinner and did a phenomenal job. Lunch a few days later was Ginella and she did an amazing job as well. Both experiences were awesome! Food was great and atmosphere is open and welcoming. Love the modern feel.
