Went to Rio Grande Cafe yesterday night for dinner. It was quite an interesting dinner. The place seems to be an old train station with very causal dining atmosphere. The place was packed. Food is good with very affordable price. What made it interesting was our waiter. Here are part of our conversation with the waiter:
We said: "Do you have a drink menu?"
Waiter (in a tough tone): "What do you want?"
We said: "Do you have a drink menu? We don't know what you have."
Waiter (in a tough tone again): "We have everything."
We said: "OK. We will have 3 regular pina colada & 1 virgin pina colada."
Waiter: "May I check your ID?"
Waiter (after checking each of our ID): "19XX"
I said (quietly): "You don't have to yell out our birth year loud!"
15 minutes later, the drinks arrived except mine. After a reminder, I finally got my "regular" pina colada without any alcohol. Another 15 or 20 minutes later, we got our food. I also got something extra on my pants, a piece of meat from another plate. My beef taco was very good and so was my pina colada. But I have to admit, the pina colada tasted so much better after the bar tender added back some rum.

I have been there too. A long time ago, though. I don't remember that place being particularly good. I'm sorry about your experience there.
