what they say

about A Taste of Río

A Taste of Río, Río Hondo College’s signature event, is not to be missed! The four times I’ve attended, I’ve had a great time volunteering as a wine pourer and networking with new and old friends, all while having fun donating money for student scholarships!

Paco Retana - East Whittier Resident
Vice President of Programs, Wellnest

I love to attend A Taste of Río every year because it brings local community leaders and alumni to campus for premium food, drinks, live entertainment, and chances to win incredible prizes. When I was a student at Río Hondo College, I received a great amount of support that was instrumental to my achievement. Please join me in helping raise money for student scholarships by attending A Taste of Río.

Dr. Monica Sánchez - Mayor of Pico Rivera

A Taste of Río is a great event that brings people from around Río Hondo College together to taste great food and support our local college. The culinary excellence and social environment created by this event makes it one of the best events to attend in the Greater San Gabriel Valley.

Andre Quintero - Former Mayor of El Monte

I really enjoy the atmosphere at A Taste of Río and the delicious food and drinks, but ultimately, I love that the purpose of the event is to raise money for student success and scholarships.
