Seeing so many 5 star reviews, I had high hopes for this restaurant but it turned out less impressive.

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!

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.

My family and I made a reservation earlier in the week for a round of drinks after grabbing an early dinner at their sister restaurant, River, literally down the hall. Once we arrived at Tequila Rio for our time slot, were shocked to find the place packed and a private party in full swing– none of which were indicated while making our reservation or even at the door!

So sad they moved tequila rio outside …. the rain forest themed room was what we lived for! Was so happy to come back here this summer and left extremely disappointed … also no weekend happy hour anymore. It was such a one of a kind restaurant such a shame

i really liked this place! the food was great and it was delicious ! what disappointed us was we received our food almost an hour and a half later but, we understand that the staff was working incredibly hard and well to get everyone their food and get it to the right tables and get it on time. i got polo y chicken chasedillas (sorry for the incorrect spelling) and it was amazing in my opinion. we wish we got our food more earlier. but, the servers were nice and we would come here again ! please consider coming to this beautiful restaurant.

Had a reservation at River, they said we would have to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated. So we decided to not wait and went downstairs to Tequila Rio (good call by the way, we got a call an hour after our reservation time to let us know they could finally seat us at River). The drinks weren’t bad, but the food was a total disappointment. The ribeye (a $38 waste) was supposed to be medium-rare, but came out medium-well, tough, and lukewarm at best. Couldn’t even complain about it because our waiter disappeared for a solid half hour, if not more. I wish there were more reviews of this place so we could have stayed away.

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.

The principal reason for 4 stars is less than adequate service. The food is good and tasty creative drinks in a really beautiful setting. Staffing is an issue these days, but inordinate waits for every aspect of the dining experience was unfortunate and ultimately annoying.
