What is Worth Choosing
For local New Yorkers, Rio Bravo Tacos & Tequila should be chosen as your go-to Mexican spot in Westchester for three key reasons: The Molcajete, The Margaritas, and The Atmosphere.

Rio Bravo Tacos & Tequila Reviews
margaritasguacamolechipsparkingdiningmariachi bandchimichangamanagerdrinksparty
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I’ve dined here several times, usually indoors with a great Mexican-themed ambiance and excellent air conditioning (bring a sweater!). This visit, I sat outside and enjoyed a thick coconut daiquiri and red sangria—both tasty, though I prefer sangria in a wine glass with visibly more fruit in it rather served in a mason-type jar with a handle.The highlight was the Molcajete: a huge hot stone bowl loaded with a spicy, savory broth, a mix of beef, pork, chicken, and well-seasoned shrimp I added for $5. The melted cheese was a nice addition to the bold, slightly charred meats. Warm tortillas came wrapped in foil, along with smoky charro beans with bacon - very good.My husband’s salmon Veracruzan was disappointing—dry and bland with plain rice and steamed veggies, lacking the promised blackened flavor.Overall, a satisfying meal with great drinks and atmosphere, but some dishes are stronger than others.
August 07 · Louise FRio Brovo tacos & tequila!!! Place is good parking is difficult pro tip lot on the Main Street says paid but it’s free after 4pmPlace was good didn’t have any food that blew me away or made me feel like I had to go back. The drinks on the other had was amazing there coconut margarita was spectacular. I thought they would have a bigger selection of Taqila but it was ok. Over all if you are from the neighborhood definitely a must try and definitely a place to go and have drinks won’t be disappointed.If you are in manhattan it’s ok to drive to and have a good time especially if you’re going to drink pitchers are available in almost all if not all margaritas flavors. We had 2 pitchers and 6 regular drinks. Had a great time the music is cool but only really on the side of the bar the other side you couldn’t hear the music like that. Had a great dinner enjoyed myself the staff was great we had a 30 min wait wasn’t bad for cinco de mayo. The service was top notch. Our waiter was attentive and on point the bathrooms were clean smell free. Over all a great restaurantI will definitely be back but it will be more for a drinking vibe than anything else.Thank you all for following me as alwaysMy ig is @imbroke_rob and. @imbroke_eatsHope you enjoyed this review thanks again 🙏🏾
May 06 · ImBroke RobWe enjoyed our visit. Good eats with okay drinks and great service. Nice layout.
May 26 · Joshua ChamberlainWe've been here three times now, and every visit has been fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious—authentic and clearly made with love. It's a Mexican-owned business, which we really appreciate and are proud to support. Wendy and Rafael are wonderful hosts who make us feel like we're visiting family each time we come in. We'll definitely keep coming back!
August 12 · Janel RSo I had the 3 enchiladas combo and it was excellent. Not too salty and a lot of flavor. For appetizers we had fresh guacamole with house chips. The margaritas were on point as well. Last I had the fried ice cream and tasted so good. I would definitely return.
