Very subpar. People in CT like them because there are not any authentic Mexican restaurants.

It's been awhile since I dined here. I brought a good friend for her Birthday. It was her first time at Rio Salado. She loved it ( I knew she would)!! And as always, I did too! Hope to be back for more deliciousness soon!

Food was pretty good but staff is so rude! Don't post your open til 10 pm if you don't wanna be there that late! On more than 4 different occasions staff started taking my food away WHILE I WAS EATING IT WITH FORK IN HAND! Don't rush me out the building at 9:37 when I just spend $100 on a meal!

This location has an amazing pallet of flavors on their menu when it comes to authentic Spanish food. Recently I was there for Valentine’s Day and we got chips and the quesadillas. I got the Mexican paella and it was absolutely delectable. My boyfriend got the steak made medium, which was perfectly tender. We end up getting the Tres Leche every time because it tastes like home to me. We also love the hospitality that the staff provide towards the tables. I seriously recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a good date night or a night out and trying some really good corn tacos. I promise you won’t be disappointed and you will enjoy yourself.Also, a sidenote/shout out:We keep coming back to this location for the past couple years now, just to continuously bump into one waiter named Luis (I believe that’s his name! I’m terrible with names, but I remember his face lol). This man has a couple of daughters that he continuously loves and talks about, he loves his job and does a stellar job at making conversation to connect with his patrons. After not going to this restaurant for 8 months straight, we went on 2/14/24 and he walked right up and immediately recognized the both of us. He pointed as to where we sat last time and spoke about playing video games and other topics we had talked about months prior. Truly impressive. I really hope the owner and the person who is viewing us will recognize that this person has changed our perspective of how we view this restaurant. We plan to come here more often. Much love to the entire staff, we plan to see you soon ?

The co-owners of the Jealous Monk did a great job renvovating this space and it has been modernized and decorated to current expectations for a hip eatery and bar. The food, however, is a typical Amercian interpretation of Latin food about 1 step beyond Taco Bell. After a 2nd visit we enjoyed the food more this time but suggest you check your bill as we had issues both times and had to have the charges corrected.

We came here on a weekend while visiting the tourist spots in the area. Our server was very good and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty. We were very full after our meal so the portions were just perfect. Considering where the restaurant is the prices were very reasonable. We had the shrimp taco and my wife had the grilled salmon. It was prepared to perfect temperatures. The decore and atmosphere is good as well.Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is very good and offers a lot of choices for picky eaters.
