About our company:

Taco Rio is your trendy, local taco restaurant. We are fun, motivated, responsible, consistent, and recruiting dynamic and outgoing team players to join the RIO family. Open since November 2020, we are fortunate to have been embraced with love by our Harrison Hot Springs, Agassiz and surrounding communities. We are local, from our aptly named Taco Rio, with “Rio” meaning river, and referring to the Miami River that flows behind us, sourcing fresh, local ingredients, and the blue river that runs through in the decor of our restaurant. We specialize in Westcoast-inspired Mexican cuisine, only producing the best quality of food, drinks, and service. Check us out at tacorioharrison.com or our social media handle @tacorioeats to see what we are about! We are open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
