Tequila Rio: Mexican Cantina

I had a great dinner last night and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and location- such a hidden gem! We got the guacamole for an app and it was delish, then ordered the chicken mole tacos, Korean BBQ burrito, and an assortment of sides. All were delightful and offered a range of flavors, a perfect pairing with the margaritas and drinks! (Highly recommend the passion-ate). The staff and our server, Aidan, were great and offered suggestions and provided great service. Only improvement I'd say is better signage on how to get around to the back of the building to the restaurant.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I thought this was deserving….My friend & I wanted to eat near water tonight but didn’t want to drive to the shore. Tequila Rio did not disappoint. Margaritas were great and the food was fantastic. I had the salmon & my friend had the shrimp & rice. Service was great, they were very attentive. Not to mention the view of the CT river, is always great. We will be back!

We had a blast. It was late summer. Weather was nice outside and the food complimented the whole vibe. Can’t wait to revisit next summer.

Great place. Food is really tasty. Atmosphere what's perfect The staff was excellent I will definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends

The vibe was all there. Eating on the river, was the perfect end to a stressful day. The food, was everything I wanted in a genuine Mexican experience. The head chef, jerry, gave us a full rundown of the menu, and suggested some very stellar options. The prices seems high at first, but after getting our entrees, we were more than full, and more than satisfied. The desert was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I will go back as many times as needed to try everything this amazing restaurant has to offer. They have big plans for expansion, and I know they will be successful. Well done crew!

Excellent happy hour! Perfect for Saturday 3-6pm definitely visit again

Amazing view, we stayed until the sunset, it was such a relaxing dinner. We had the steak and birrio tacos and they were delicious. The drinks were really good too. I’m glad their open again. We’ll definitely make a trip back.

So nice by the river with propane fire torches, decorated for Halloween! Food was delicious! Great margaritas too

Very good food. Excellent drinks. Great service. Will come again.

AMAZING FOOD! GREAT FIND!! First of all, beautiful night sitting outside with the gorgeous view of the river and bridge. But the food was fantastic. The chips (homemade) came with salsa to the table -- delicious! We had the crab empanadas and you could tell how much care went into making these. We shared the chicken mole tacos and shrimp tacos. Both unbelievable. The owner even came over to us and asked us how we were enjoying our dinner. If we hadn't been in the CBS building we would never have found this place. I consider myself a great critic of all food in general (for a variety of reasons LOL), and I WILL find my way back to this place. Additionally wait staff -- very attentive! JUST GO THERE.

Great location, nice ambient live music, loved all our food. We went early (530) and with kids. Next time we go we'll probably be just grown ups and will lose the t-shirts; it's a little more upscale than we expected. The prices aren't really though which was nice. Kids are fine to go as well but no kids menu - they split an entree. Recommended and we plan on going back.

The food was really good, and the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. The view is gorgeous at well!! Had a great time! I really appreciated the owner coming to each table to welcome us.

Great Place to go and relax ❤ Great food Great Customer service just a lil worry with this situation one of the managers handed me a Drinking Glass with lipstick from the previous customer explained to him what he had done and the first thing that came out his mouth was i paid for Your drink. I did not ask him to pay for my drink specially if he's gonna give me a glass with lipstick from the previous customer. But the owner don't know her name she was was so nice and with a great attitude she took care of me, won't forget his name Killian L. Gave me the best service as well the owner Props to you guys . By the way if you're reading this review don't hesitate to go and visit this place great food ♥♥

I went to Tequila Rio for the first time on Saturday night. Very busy and had to wait for a table For 25 minutes. Definitely recommend making a reservation first. The drinks were very different but tasty and hit just right. The menu could have a few more options on it, in my opinion, but the Oaxaca steak dish that I had was cooked perfectly. I definitely will be back (this time with a reservation)

We were there last night on a gorgeous evening. Great views of the river. We loved the food - yes, it's a short menu. The rice and beans side as well as the blackened corn are a delight to the palate. Enjoyed the margheritas, be careful of the hot option, it's ok at first but you'll likely not finish it.

I had an excellent experience when I tried this place over the weekend. Outdoor dining at its finest - not sure what they're going to do now that it's getting colder, but definitely a great place during the warmer months. Highly recommend their margaritas and their pork carnitas tacos. I will definitely be back!

I’m a big Birria taco lover and the bir-rio tacodilla was truly delicious can’t wait to go back and have it again. My fiancée and me enjoyed our food as well as the tasty drinks they made. Chef Jerry did it again with the great menu

I dined here outdoors and the view was amazing. Margs were hittin just right and the shrimp tacos were delicious. The rice and black beans had so much flavor. 😋 I will be returning soon.

Love it. Outside view was so gorgeous. Definitely recommend. Tacos were to die for. Walk to the back of the building to enter. The staff is lovely especially the owner. Very comforting felt very welcomed

Love the strawberry 🍹 margaritas and the seasonal guacamole was so good
