Tequila Rio: Mexican Cantina offers a lively dining experience along the Connecticut River. The menu features a variety of Mexican favorites, from classic tacos and burritos to unique dishes like chicaronnes (pork belly) and garlic shrimp. The food is absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors, and the happy hour margarita is amazing—considered the best in the area. With Chef Xavier, guests can taste the passion in every bite. The restaurant boasts a scenic atmosphere with shaded outdoor seating, real plants, and jungle vibes, paired with a beautiful river view. Live music by The Goza Rio Trio and Latin music on point add to the vibrant ambiance. While service can be incredibly slow and the place is sometimes understaffed, the staff remains friendly and apologetic. Tequila Rio is a popular spot for Taco Tuesdays, special occasions, or simply hanging out by the river, with great nachos and spectacular drinks. Parking is easy with lots of open spaces close to the entrance.
