Rio Grande restaurants have been serving the people of Colorado an escape from the serious since 1986. They began with one location and the belief that if you create a great place to work with quality food and a good, stiff margarita, people will come. So, come to the place where it all began – the Fort Collins Rio, right in the heart of Old Town. Locally owned and featuring what many say is the best patio in Old Town, the Fort Collins Rio has long had a spirit all its own.
