Okay went to Rigos for lunch yesterday and all i can say is the place was overpriced and the food sucked big time. My carnitas was dried and hard. DW told me her faijitas were bland and the beans looked liked it came from a cheap can. Worst Mexican food i ever had and i would rather eat at Taco Cabana over this place. 4951

@CBP210: Knowing your standards for carnitas, I could have told you that you would not like them at Rigo's. I hope this won't keep you away if we have meet ups there. They have a great happy hour, great Rita's and the staff, including Rigo, treats us very well.

Is this the place Dex had his going away party? What I had was OK, but nothing super special. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. Plenty of other places that are better. 4951

Funny I was there for lunch yesterday as well!I really enjoyed my fajitas - maybe it was the margarita that helped, though.That said, it was overpriced, though I can't get too mad at them for that mistake on my part. Mainly, I let them bamboozle me. The server told me she would give me the "special" margarita for $9. I told her to give me just the regular one (not top shelf). It still came to $9. In addition, my friend and I were each going to get the lunch fajitas ($8.50 each); server asked if we wanted the fajitas for two, and we thought that would be perfect - just enough as we weren't overly hungry.The portion was huge and the cost for those was $22.50. So, expensive lunch overall. The only thing easing the monetary sting is that I had fajitas for dinner last night and will have more for lunch today.I didn't try the beans. Rice was on the dry side. Chips were warm and delicious. 4951

Went once, owner and waitress very pleasant, margarita was small, food was similar to many of the places closer to me.  No reason not to stick with Fiesta Azteca and Chachis. 4951

@ctl74:  If you ask her to, Nelly will bring you the special chips that are quartered tortillas instead of or in addition to the regular chips.  These are the thicker ones they serve with the queso.  Nelly is a fabulous server, just like being served by Mom at home.  You might get some sass and flack along with it, but she will definitely take good care of you, and you will feel like her all-time favorite customer.

@FoFa: There's nothing wrong with Rigo's or the location.  No one restaurant can please everyone.  Rigo's has a huge following and, for me, what sets it apart from Fiesta or Cucos, is the service, and their willingness to quickly and happily accommodate larger parties.  I think Rigo is the key to this place.  He treats everyone like important family, is genuinely happy to see you when you walk in and always rolls out the red carpet.  Sure, Tex-Mex isn't going to please someone more accustomed to authentic, or uber gourmet. This place has done well from the beginning, unlike others in this location.  It will continue to do well as long as Rigo is associated with it. Also, if there was something you didn't like, and have respectful,  constructive input or critique, Rigo encourages people to let him know and be honest with him.  If something wasn't right, he wants to know so he can fix it.
