“Found this restaurant by accident on Friday and we love it! In fact, we went back Saturday for Churros and Sunday for dinner again. On Friday we had their Street Tacos and today we had their Tako Bowls! This may be a small place, but their flavors are not!! Amazing food and great portions! The entire staff from front and back of house are very friendly. So glad we found them and looking forward to going back! We HIGHLY recommend them!“

“There are places you stumble into for convenience, and then there are places that feel like they’ve been waiting for you all along—quietly perfecting their craft while the rest of the world argues about trends and fusion nonsense. Cinco de Mayo is the latter.

You smell it before you even sit down. Not the timid, sanitized version of “Mexican food” that gets paraded around strip malls—but the real deal. Warm corn tortillas hitting a flat-top. Meat sizzling with purpose. Cilantro and onion cutting through the air like a sharp knife. There’s a faint hum of spice—cumin, maybe a whisper of chili—hanging low, like it knows it belongs there. It doesn’t beg for your attention. It earns it.

The room itself? No pretension. No curated “aesthetic” dreamed up by someone who’s never eaten standing at a street cart. It’s alive. Conversations bounce off the walls. Plates clatter. There’s an easy rhythm to it all—like everyone in the room is in on the same secret: this is what it’s supposed to feel like. You don’t come here for ambiance in the Instagram sense. You come here because it feels honest.

And then—the tacos.

Simple. Dangerous word, “simple.” Because when something is this stripped down, there’s nowhere to hide. The tortilla is soft, fresh, doing exactly what it needs to do—nothing more, nothing less. The meat? Tender, deeply seasoned, the kind of flavor that doesn’t shout but lingers. You get that first bite and suddenly you’re not in Connecticut anymore—you’re somewhere louder, warmer, more alive. A squeeze of lime, maybe a hit of salsa if you’re feeling bold, and that’s it. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just balance.

You eat one, then another, then you stop counting because counting feels beside the point.

Five stars? Sure. But that doesn’t quite capture it. This isn’t about stars. It’s about walking in hungry and leaving with something that feels a little closer to satisfaction—real satisfaction, the kind that doesn’t need explaining“

“Mom and pop FRESH Mexican. Come! You will not be disappointed. The tacos!!!“

“Had an amazing GF experience! Service was top notch and so friendly. All the tacos and sides were the kind you never want to end. Even got some in lettuce wraps. Recommend: Everything! Stand out tacos: Mahi-mahi, shrimp, short rib, friend calamari. Sides: street corn, rice & beans, charred broccoli. Dessert: Churros!“

“IT WAS HORRIBLE. AS A MEXICAN I DO NOT APPROVE, THIS PLACE HAD BAD BAD FOOD, FIRST OF ALL THEY SERVED ME AN ORANGE WITH TACOS, WHO DOES THAT? WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GIVE ORANGES WITH TACOS, NUH UH. ALSO, I FOUND OUT THAT THEIR GUACAMOLE IS NOT EVEN MEXICAN RECEPIE, IT TASTED LIKE WASABI WITH TOO MUCH MAYO EXPECT IT WAS NOT EVEN WASABI, AND ALSO THERE WERE NOT ONLY HAIRS IN MY FOOD BUT THERE WA A FRAKING ROACH SINGING LA CUCARACHA WITH MEXICAN HAT AND LITTLE TINY MARACAS. THIS PLACE IS OUTRAGIOUS“

“Food was delicious. My order was to go and it was nicely packaged and did I say delicious?“

“I had a great experience here on Valentine's Day! I didn't make reservations but only waited 10-20 minutes as a walk in. The service was exceptional. The food was delish. Tostado de mariscos was the highlight of the night. Great drinks. Love the ambiance.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! I ordered the Birria Burrito and the Carnitas Burrito, along with the spicy salsa and spicy guacamole, and every single item was bursting with flavor and perfectly moist. What really elevated the visit was chatting with the incredibly charismatic chef, who shared that everything—even the burrito wraps—is made entirely from scratch. You can truly taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite. Plus, it’s super convenient—just 4 minutes off the Hutchinson Parkway! This place isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, top-tier Mexican cuisine!“

“Randomly stumbled on this place because my dryer broke. Had to do a few loads and this place is right next door to the laundry mat. Probably some of the tastiest Mexican food I’ve ever had, and most authentic. The price cannot be beat. I go there and try random things all the time, today I want to try the Chilaquiles. Next time, I wanna try the Pozole Verde. He also informed that they serve tamales on Saturdays and Sundays. I loveeeeeeee this place and recommend to anybody.“

“The food was absolutely out of this world, the birra tacos were some of the best I have ever had. The service was amazing and the staff were so nice.

“Enjoyed evening here! Food and service was spot on! Would definitely go back! Great restaurant!“

“Tucked away in the heart of New Rochelle’s predominantly Mexican community, this little hole‑in‑the‑wall spot turned out to be a gem. I ordered the steak tacos and the birria tacos, and both were surprisingly delicious — tender meat, great seasoning, and portions that actually feel generous. You can tell it’s family owned and operated from the moment you walk in. Definitely worth stopping by if you want authentic flavors without the frills.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the sauce that was on the buffalo wings girl fajita Texans amazing enchilada Sousa everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected medical emergency during our visit, and I have to recognize how outstanding the staff handled the situation.

They responded immediately with urgency, professionalism, compassion, and full attention. Everyone stayed calm, focused, and dedicated to making sure help was provided quickly. It was truly impressive to witness a team that not only delivers great hospitality, but also rises to the occasion during a serious moment.

That level of care says everything about the character of this establishment. Rio Bravo has an exceptional staff, and I highly recommend this restaurant for both their amazing food and the genuine care they show people.“

“I swung by this fantastic Mexican place in Stamford, Their birria quesadillas were absolutely amazing the consomé was the perfect match, and I couldn’t get enough of the grilled onions and fresh jalapeño they took everything up a notch and I ordered both a passionfruit margarita and a coco margarita neither disappointed everything about this meal was just amazing i can’t wait to go back!“

“the food was very delicious and the stars 🌟 🤩 😋 ✨ 😍 👌“

“Great atmosphere with outdoor seating. On a busy road but the spot is very quiet. Service is great, if you’re eating there you also get chips and a very delicious sauce. If you’re going to any of the parks in northern Stamford and want to grab a quick sandwich this is the perfect spot, high quality and great value on the food.“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“Great happy hour I order sangria it very good it tastes it fresh and no hard liquor mixed,the reason I say this is because I had sangria at other restaurants and they mixed with other type liquor to make it stronger,

The nachos were'old ? we oder a appzetizer empanada it was very good ? the price was good“

“Went to this place for a quick stop to eat, it’s nice and cheap, I got 3 tacos, bistec and chorizo, fell in love with the chorizo tacos and the bistec ones were also amazing. It was very cheap 12 dollars for the order of 3. The worker, her name was Guadalupe was so nice and sweet. I definitely recommend coming here for some good Mexican food. My brother ate the chalupas and his girlfriend the nachos and they also loved their meals“

“Tony's the Best!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Mexican food like grandma used to make, including homemade tortillas and non-menu items like (the best) mole (you will ever have in your life, and chilaquiles that will kick your a*** The milder green sauce is spicier than most places' red sauce. Connected to a Mexican bakery located next door.“

“I’m sure everything here is good but the corn tortilla quesadillas are so great they’re all I order. I’m a world-class eater but can’t quite finish off the platter with three quesadillas! Res en adobo, chorizo, pastor are all consistently great filling options. Nice people, no frills decor.“

“It's very delicious , it full of all kinds of Mexican food!!“

“Delicious food , good service“

“Best tacos in New Rochelle. Authentic, mom and pop shop. Been going here for years, never disappointed. It has the ambiance of a pizzeria but I don't go there for that. I go for the delicious and inexpensive burritos. I spent $70 to feed myself, my wife, and 3 hungry boys aged 17, 19, and 19. And there were still leftovers for lunch the next day.“

“los mejores tacos y atencion“

“Guac Time Stamford truly exceeded my expectations with their chicken birria tacos and bowl. The flavors were outstanding and the quality of the food was top-notch. This is by far the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine in the area.“

“We visited this place on a Saturday, we tried Birria con arroz y Frijoles, and this was one of the best Birria in town ever! We also had Tacos arabes, the meat, seasonings and the salsa roja were beyond delicious. I have to say that costumer service is one of the best we have ever had. We highly recommend you this place, don't go with the fact that is a small establishment. You won't regret it“
