Say Yes to the Guacamole
It is mashed fresh right in front of you, ripe avocado folded with tomato, onion and cilantro until it is exactly right. People drive in for it, and once you have had it made table-side, the tub at the store never quite measures up again.
“Say yes to the guacamole!! It’s made fresh table side and is SO good!”

Madras Has Opinions
Loved by the Regulars
“This is probably the nicest Mexican restaurant in Madras! The staff has always been very welcoming. The food is also authentic. In my opinion, this place has the best quality. If you're in Madras, and looking for a nice place to eat, I'd definitely give this place a try!”
“The gentleman working gets a 5-star for his work ethic and cooking. It reinforced the family business atmosphere. The main dishes were excellent. You could tell and see the ingredients were fresh. Ask for the guac! He made it right in front of us which was a real treat.”
“Very good food. Interesting spin on classic dishes. The guacamole was made table-side and it was different but amazing. I loved that they had several vegetarian options that were specific, not just minus meat.”
Our Table
A Family Kitchen in Downtown Madras
We’re Rio, a family-run Mexican kitchen on SW 5th Street in the heart of Madras. We cook the way we’d cook for our own table: fresh ingredients, real care on the plate, and that guacamole mashed in front of you because it just tastes better that way.
When the weather’s good, the patio is the best seat in town, dog at your feet and a margarita in hand. Come hungry, stay a while, and let us take care of you.
