Great margaritas served in a tumbler and not stingy. Excellent food. I had the fried chicken salad which was so good. My husband had a burrito which he could hardly finish. I hope it stays open for a long long time!,

A friend says he's never had a bad meal at Del Rio, and after numerous visits, I would have to agree. They may be the only establishment in town of this caliber, but they try not to act like it. It's hard for me to go there and not order the Gospel Fried Chicken Salad (or the chicken dinner, when... More

They get a bit harried, but the food is grand! Get a reservation and avoid their mixed drinks and you'll have a great time.

We stopped here on a busy Sunday morning. We had to wait a bit to be greeted, but once they had a moment to greet us, we were immediately seated and the service was prompt and the food came quickly. I had a delicious chicken burrito, my husband had a breakfast plate. This was fresh, excellent Mexican food. I don't... More

Friends I was visiting took me to Virginia City specifically to eat at this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. We received prompt service on a Saturday afternoon, and the food was plentiful. I ordered carnitas, which were very good, and my friends ordered fish and chicken tacos. Everyone left very full and very happy.

We saw this place In trip advisor and decided to try it. The service was just right. The chicken enchilada was very good, order one, the portion was perfect. The stack with an egg was sooo good! The red sauce with beef was something I'll remember for a while. Great spot!!

Came here on a busy weekend we were seated promptly and given menu's. Shortly thereafter we received chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa was on the medium side-could have been hotter. We waited some time for the main server to arrive to take our order. We have been here several times before and the service has... More

Great place to refreash. Lively and entertaining. Great food and drinks. Stopped in on our way, while leaving Virginia City, for the day, the last time. American Western and Mexi-Cally food. Hearty portions, seasoned well. Good, Good, Good.
