About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Romantic
Set along the serene bank of the beautiful CT River, Tequila Rio is a celebration of modern Mexican cuisine, fresh ingredients, and stunning natural surroundings.

Our menu is rooted in authenticity but reimagined with a contemporary flair, featuring bold flavors, vibrant seasonal produce, and locally sourced meats and seafood.

At Tequila Rio, we believe food should reflect the land and the moment. That’s why our dishes change with the seasons, highlighting the best from regional farmers, foragers, and fishers.

From inventive tacos and fire-roasted vegetables to mezcal-glazed entrées and handcrafted cocktails, every plate is made to honor both tradition and innovation.

Dine riverside and enjoy a laid-back, elevated experience where every bite comes with a view.

Whether you’re joining us for a sunset dinner, weekend brunch, or just drinks with friends, Tequila Rio is where fresh meets flavorful, right on the water.

    Since Putnam Park is an office building, most of the 600 parking spots are empty when it’s time for Happy Hour or dinner, so free parking is never a problem. Please remember, because there is so much parking, the lot could appear to be almost empty and yet there could be, literally, hundreds of people outside on the river, enjoying the party.

    The Jungle Bar at Tequila Rio is really cool. Live 40 foot trees inside an indoor atrium with all kinds of live tropical looking plants surrounding the tables. This is what they use when they’re inside instead of on the Connecticut river outside due to bad weather. Great room, great food, great Margs.

    Fun casual spot to have drinks and dinner. We ate outdoors with a view of the river. Excellent service and menu.

    For someone that isn’t the biggest fan of Mexican food to begin with not only did this place exceed expectations but has become a favorite in a matter of minutes! The nachos are something that I know I will be craving tomorrow! Service was great and honestly most bang for your buck especially considering its location. I will be back religiously!

    The TR Burrito is a new menu item and it is designated "spicy". It has short ribs, poblano peppers rice and beans, etc. and an absolutely delicious spicy sauce! I highly recommend this! The TR along with a margarita and I'm in heaven.

    I had been before for dinner, but yesterday I went for happy hour. It is definitely one of the best happy hours in the area. I ordered the chicken chili nachos and couldn’t believe how great they tasted and the portion size and the unbelievably good price! This will become my go to place.I highly recommend it.
