Rio Salado - MYSTIC

I couldn't have asked for a better evening! Everything from the food to the service was exceptional. They even went out of their way to get flowers for my wife to celebrate our anniversary. We often drive up from New York to enjoy activities in the area, and this is the first place my wife insists on dining at! You won’t be disappointed!

I was quite disappointed with my experience. The food had the potential to be good, but it was served lukewarm. Although the ingredients were fresh, the cool centers of our enchiladas suggested they had been merely assembled rather than properly cooked, which was particularly unsatisfactory given the price. The rice and beans were not at all what we had anticipated, and we barely touched our bowls. They were also served cool instead of hot. On a positive note, the waitstaff were kind, courteous, and professional!

As for dietary restrictions, their menu is clearly labeled for gluten-free options, and they have a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items, so definitely get the chips and guacamole!

Went here before for happy hour, experience was better then. Portion sizes were really small. Tacos were small portion, corn was great. Ice cream and churros was good but kids size. Picture below was of the ice cream once I removed the churros and before I started eating. For the pricey items I’d expect bigger portions. Suggest coming for happy hour.

I wish more focus was on overall quality rather than the extremely large portion sizes. Perhaps smaller portions would result in life priced menu items...Nachos should not be wet and soggy the chips should still have some crunch, imo.
