Loveland location marks the sixth outpost for Colorado’s beloved Tex-Mex institution
A Colorado institution known for its legendary margaritas and vibrant Tex-Mex cuisine, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant (The Rio) is expanding to Loveland, marking its sixth location in the state. Slated to open in early 2027, the Loveland Rio will be located at 225 4th St. in the heart of downtown Loveland.
