Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

About 6 months ago I had a good meal here. I ate there tonight with my parents (3/7/2013) and it was just unbelievably BAD. Everything was alarmingly salty: the beans, the enchiladas, the rice. Service was slow and when my plate came it looked like it had been cooking under a heat light. It took them ages to process the credit card payment. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, but that does not compensate for a really dreadful meal. If you want good Mexican food in Monte Vista, go to Nino's. DO NOT go here.

My all time favorite Mexican food. Mike and his staff are wonderful. Everything is delicious. My favorites include Gloria's Special, flauta, beef fajitas, and the sopapillas. Don't miss the fried ice cream!!

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Mike welcomes everyone like family and the staff is always friendly. They are generous with the free refills on drinks, chips & salsa. You will not be sorry

We stopped into this quaint little place passing through town. The buffet was excellent, small, but done really well. I'd drive back here for the salsa alone. The service was great and we enjoyed chatting with our server throughout the night. This will certainly be a stop for whenever we're passing though town.

My husband and I went here last night and had very slow, poor quality service and mediocre food. It took over an hour from the time we were seated until our food came out and when the food finally did come out, it was not what we ordered. We decided to keep the food that we received though since it had taken so long. As we were leaving, the hostess asked how everything was, so we told her what happened and she relayed it to the owner. The owner said it was our fault that the food didnt come out right because we made a special request (we only asked for red chili instead of green) and he also said there was nothing that could be done about the speed of the service because they were very very busy (with 4 tables seated including our own for a total of 14 or so people). Needless to say we will never be back to this restaurant.

I was hopeful that under new management the food and service would be an par with what I remember the restaurant being years ago. What a letdown. We were seated by a young man who I am guessing must be a mute. We then waited 15 minutes before our waitress took our drink order. She managed to bring our drinks out and take our order after a while. Our food came out around the one hour mark. We had the combination platter and the beef chimi. The beef on both plates tasted like it was old or just oddly seasoned. The green chili was bland and the chili rellenos were very small. I realize that on busy nights these thing can happen but on a Tuesday night I expect a little more. I don't think I will be back.

My FH's parents eat here often and we all went one night for buffet dinner. I have to tell you that I am quite a fan of this little place. The buffet is small with but you can stack up on tacos, enchiladas and other yummy food. The salsa is a kicker with tons of good flavor. It's definately worth a try.

Dos Rios used to be the can't miss Mexican Food place to eat in the San Luis Valley back when Dan and Gloria Rios owned it. Guess what! They are back, and in good form! Offering a weekday daily lunch buffet, as well as a full menu, the food is back to being delicious! Throw in a margarita for the perfect match! Don't forget to say hello to Dan and Gloria, they are most generally there keeping a close eye on things.

Dos Rios has been a staple for me for a very long time. While it's not my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Valley, it is one that I always go back to. This chips did not taste as fresh as I remember, but I do love their salsa. So many places offer bland salsa, but not here. The salsa has a good flavor to it and it packs a little heat with it as well. This last visit was particularly enlightening as I tried something I had never had before. The Carne Asada burrito smothered in green chili was especially tasty. The steak was full of flavor and the green chili has so much more flavor than the bland green enchilada sauce that so many other places offer up. Walking into Dos Rios brings back so many good memories of sharing good food with good friends. While the restaurant is not what it once was, it still serves up some tasty good and I will continue to make my way back there on my next visits to the Valley.

I used to work at this restaurant and I have such fond memories of going home in my white shirt and black pants splattered with the yummy salsa. I remember trying to eat here the weekend they opened and we had to wait over an hour--for my small town this is unheard of. The place continued to be the "go-to" restaurant for any occasion whatsoever. I loved the chimichangas, crispy rellenos, beef burritos and taco salads. I loved the Sunday brunches with mimosas--my mom just gave me sips. ;-)

My friends and I ate here on a trip to Monte Vista based on the previous review. Half the restaurant was "closed" ( lights off and all ), I'm guessing to the lack of regular clients. The food was best described as bland and the crispy rellenos were basically burnt and then drowned in sauce. The salsa was the equivalent of any hot sauce you can buy out of a bottle.
