This is a brief synopsis of one of my favorite places to eat Mexican-American food. Note, there are TONS of so called Tex-Mex, Mexican Restaurant and consider their menu, "authentic." In reality, it does not do its justice to present a plate of "authentic" Mexican food when it does not come nearly close to what real Mexican dining can be.
In any case, the vast majority can tell you that the style of dining here in the USA is more Americanized to meet the needs and feed the hungry crowds of the standard, fast-paced society in which we live in here in the USA.... we are a country of consumers and the faster the food gets to us, the faster we move on with our day to have yet another meal to look forward to... pretty monotone if you ask me. We are the U.S.of A where the new standards of being normal is being a few pounds overweight. It is either one extreme or the other...there is no medium.
Below is my two cents worth for a fantastic place to dine with your spouse, family, or co-workers. The environment is welcoming to whatever the occassion.

Rio Grande in West Ashley SC , is one of my favorite Mexican-American Restaurants. The reason: The food! You can immediately recognize when the cook prioritizes the flavor in the food on your first bite. The food is well prepared to meet the consumer's visual, taste, and satisfaction. Not bad for a super quick meal with your co-workers, family, or friends. It is simply a place that will captivate your taste buds and you will be sure to come back and enjoy a meal or drinks with your guests! Another aspect of the restaurant is their friendly staff, the environment as a whole, and the fact that the owner/operator is always around to greet you and make sure you are well taken care off.
My husband and I went in for a quick bite for lunch and ended our meal with a suprise gift of CHURROS with ice-cream! Of course we had to eat them! ;-) See images below.
I am neither a Chef, nor a food critic, however, am a lover of the culinary arts! Love to paint with the strokes of spices, sprinkling the flavors of a dinamic meal...I love to be transported to a world of comfort on that original bite.
Food, I love FOOD and LOVE to get creative, thus RIO GRANDE has obtained a faithful client with me! They know what I like!
Enjoy peeps!
