Taco Rio, located in the charming Harrison Hot Springs, BC, has swiftly made a name for itself as a hidden gem in the taco restaurant scene. Diners rave about the freshness and authenticity of the flavors, particularly highlighting the mouthwatering shrimp and birria tacos. Sherry B notes the standout Jalapeno Margarita, which she describes as the best she's ever had, perfectly complementing the delicious offerings.
This establishment prides itself on generous portions and a vibrant atmosphere that invites guests to linger, whether on their cool outdoor patio or within the thoughtfully decorated interior. The exceptional service is frequently praised, with customers appreciating the attentive staff who eagerly guide them through the extensive menu, including an impressive array of vegetarian options. Eldon Fehr encapsulates the spirit of Taco Rio best, calling it a clean and friendly local business that delivers on both taste and experience.
As a food reviewer from Goto Where, I wholeheartedly recommend Taco Rio for anyone seeking a satisfying meal in a laid-back setting. This taco haven offers not just food but an experience, making it a worthwhile stop for locals and visitors alike. Be sure to try their burritos—Drew Baldwin claims they’re among the best he’s ever had!

We stopped by on a Friday night for dinner, and WOW! Everything was fresh and delicious. THE BEST Jalapeno Margarita I’ve had. Shrimp Tacos were amazing and I had a chicken taco as well as something that came with a beef dip. Soooo good. Highly recommend this place. We want to come back annd check out the cool patio. Authentic!!

Great hidden taco joint out near Harrison. We always stop by when we're in the area. Amazing flavors and very reasonably priced. They were also cool for us to sit on the outdoor patio with our dog. Highly recommend trying the birria tacos. Will definitely return

I’ve had many burritos in my lifetime but this, this was my favourite! 10/10 also the server was very sweet to my wife and our little one. Be back soon!

Clean, very friendly, great local business. Food was very good - and generous portions. The tacos are more traditional, but the burritos are not (still excellent food, but not your typical Mexican burrito). Loved the decor, and the bottled Mexican drinks is a nice touch. It's good to support local! Forgot to get a picture of the burrito before we bit into it, but these are some fantastic looking fish tacos.

Such a nice restaurant- we ordered a tempura bean burrito, chicken tacos and mango mock tail. The burrito and drink was great! Chicken tacos had fried chicken (expected grilled) but overall great place, nice vibe and Jessica was amazing! :)
