    Amazing pit stop for Huevos Rancheros and a breakfast burrito. Great guacamole. Hidden gem!

    We didn't know what to expect at this place just pictures from Google and Yelp. So we went early…read moresince they don't take reservations, boy oh boy even at 5 PM, The place was already packed. They don't have enough parking spots so you park on the lawn on the side of the driveway. I really don't like Mexican restaurants but the guacamole and the appetizers were on point and so were the dishes. I can say that this is the first Mexican restaurant that we really liked so that means we are definitely coming back again. The place can get loud so get ready for that experience. It's not your fine dining formal place, you're here to party Mexican style.

    The surrounds were a clear 5 stars. The tiered outdoor seating and view of the gardens and…read morereservoir were undeniably lovely. However, tables were wobbly and sticky throughout (which one could easily ignore underneath a white tablecloth, such as those being used for a special event on the lawn). Such things don't bother us all that much, but we did note the dramatic contrast of such kingly natural surrounds against the humble interior decor. Overall decor: 4. Family friendliness earns an easy 5 stars. We saw plenty of little kids (there's a bit of space to run around on the lawn), medium sized kids, and a few teenagers, to our great pleasure. Inclusive spaces like this make me feel at home. We have been told in the past that at less busy times, we could probably dine with the pup at an outdoor table. (Given the uncertainty, we've never tried, heading instead to confirmed dog-friendly places.) Service: 3 stars. It took quite a while for anyone to greet us outdoors or indoors. After waiting for some time indoors, a languidly indifferent hostess sent us back outdoors to wait. That same languidly indifferent hostess also made a number of attempts to upsell us on various things (e.g. more cocktails, bottled water, more appetizers, desserts) in ways that felt pushy and unpleasant. That said, we saw so many runners scurrying around at top speed to serve food and drinks. They really worked their tails off and deserve recognition. The food was 2 stars, with heavy reliance on pre-made, frozen ingredients. What we tried of it was just utterly mediocre. Frozen vegetables were boiled, then briefly sauteed with oil and salt. When it's the middle of summer, there's just no excuse for this. Seafood had the fishy nose and tough texture of previously frozen seafood. Enchiladas were not offensively bad, just very processed Mexican American fare, made with sauces from a jar and of course pre-fab tortillas. The prices would be excellent if one considered only the quantity of the food, not the quality. The latter is roughly equivalent to what you'd find at a diner. Note that there are no prices listed on the drinks menu. That might dissuade some from ordering drinks (or as many drinks) as they otherwise might. The one we ordered was commendably strong, though made with bottom shelf liquor, and to our happy surprise not too sweet. It was only $12. I recognize the beauty and appeal of the surrounds. You'll certainly want to sit outside if weather permits. And I deeply appreciate the family friendly vibes. But... the food is a pretty big ding for us. There is truly excellent Mexican / Latin American food to be had nowadays, even in nearby Danbury. This is not it.

    2025 Update:…read more Service (5): Absolutely lovely. The person womanning the register, dining room and phone lines was killing it and so charming + friendly all around despite wearing her many hats. We had a takeout order that was timed exactly as she said it would be. Takeout Packaging (1): This is the type of takeout packaging that makes me self flagellate and resolve never to do this again.... Most items came in polystyrene -- e.g. non recyclable, non compostable styrofoam. And each of the sopes we received in our order (three per order) came packaged separately in small containers, which was wildly inefficient. (Why not have all three sopes in an order come in a single container at least?) Some of the order was packaged in aluminum and clear plastic containers, which usually recycle if clean. Food (3): Let's start with the good: The kitchen still uses beautiful, ripe avocados. And stewed animal proteins were commendably slow cooked and tender. But the "sopes" were made with very thick cut, flat, hard, dry, packaged tortillas, not the boat-like kind with a ridge, shaped by hand from masa, freshly fried. We are spoiled by our access to the latter, so Tio's current version was quite disappointing. In years past, I remember the sopes being made from masa harina and griddled at least, if not deep fried, not just reheated from a package. Sauces used for enchiladas and other dishes were quite clearly straight from a can or a jar. Food was serviceable for our hurried meal, but not something we feel like we need to do again, especially given how far Latin and South American cuisines have come in these parts over the last 10+ years. There are inflationary pressures everywhere, and Tio's portion sizes remain enormous, so it makes sense that quality would have to concede some ground. It has clearly done so since our last try. If something has to give, my personal druthers would be for portion sizes to be smaller and/or prices to reflect inflation, rather than experience this kind of reduction in quality. This kitchen has the ability to do so much better.

    Love this place! The chips and salsa are great along with the fajitas, tostadas and steak tacos…read more You can't go wrong - everything is fresh!!

    We got super lucky this week! After planning a fun evening of the drive through light display in…read moreRhinebeck, our 3 generation family wanted to stop for cocktails and apps. Imagine our surprise that our intended eatery was closed (not that their website stated it) and our second choice was closing for the night (at 8 pm on a Saturday night!) Hugely disappointed, we stopped at the only place along our home area of Route 52 that had lights on. Not only were they opened, but enthusiastically greeted us and promptly brought over menus. The high top tables were excellent for our family member with the cane and the other (me) with a broken leg. The place was decorated for the season, and combined with the colorful Mexican decor was especially festive. We are all a little picky about our drinks, but the bartender happily filled our requests without hesitation. An excellent espresso martini was enjoyed, actually two, by me, and my family loved their drinks as well. We settled on the sampler platter which our waitress assured us would be plenty. She could have easily pressured us to order more, but was honest, professional, polite and friendly. We also enjoyed the chips and salsa. Highly recommend you stopping in, whether it's family dinner or casual date night. PS: it's a a fun family joke that I HATE when servers use the term "No problem". I mean; why WOULD asking for a glass of water be a problem? Our fabulous server frequently acknowledged our requests without hesitation and a cheerful "Of Course!" It left me giddy
