Rio Picante is an innovative concept in Mexican cuisine with great authentic Mexican flavors inculcated with modern American cuisine combined with great service in a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Rio Picante opened its doors in the fall of 2008 and has quickly become a hot spot among locals, visitors, and college students alike. Its proximity to many of Downtown Chattanooga's most notable businesses and attractions makes it the ideal stop for lunch, dinner, or an evening out with friends!

With a unique twist on classic Tex-Mex, Rio Picante delivers a "very different and a nice change of pace" to Mexican cuisine. Combine that with our welcoming atmosphere and our incredible service, it's easy to fall for our attention to detail.

The building "has long been known for its fun Rooftop bar, and Rio Picante continues the tradition, enclosing it with sliding glass doors in addition. This makes it available for partying year-round, even on the coldest of nights. The view is spectacular." - Anne Braly, Chattanooga Times Free Press
