I’ll start right off saying I wish Stones Bones was still at this location. I would much rather have had some ribs on this night than the poor excuse for a steak burrito I got at the House of Rio.

Chips arrived warm and unsalted with a good crunch. The salsa, though mild, had a very good flavor but unfortunately was too thin and runny to stay on the chips. One would need a Tostito Scoops-like chip to enjoy the salsa more.



The steak burrito contained beans, lettuce, tomato, and fat. Yes, there was fat and gristle in every bite of this rather unflavorful burrito. A junky fold job allowed beans and orange grease to spill out the rear end like a cat with diarrhea. No thanks.

  • Is this restaurant the same as Casa Del Rio in Munster?

  • Yes it is. I went there a couple months back and the burrito was similarly lousy.
