Rio Bravo Tacos & Tequila

We were very pleased with the quality of the food at Rio Bravo Tacos and Tequila in Fairfield, CT.
Emma, our server, was exceptionally kind and always seemed to be there when we needed her.
We ordered guacamole and watched as it was freshly made before our eyes, and it turned out to be delicious.
I can’t recall the name of the dish, but I ordered a shrimp dish with mushroom and rice.
My husband went for a beef quesadilla, and both dishes were quite generous.
Since we went during lunch, there were only a few customers.
I plan to return another time for dinner.

Ok, let's do it.
I found this little place right around the corner from Bjs in Fairfield.
I have a new love for Birria Tacos, and they have them, so why not give them a shot.
The place is nice, small, very clean.
The staff is friendly.
They have Happy Hour at the Bar from 3:00 to 6:00.
The prices are reasonable.
The plates are small.
I ordered the Birria dinner platter.
You get 1/2 a cup of rice a 1/4 cup of beans and your sauce with 2 tacos for 20.00...The food was good but not what I was looking for the Birria was lacking the cinnamon flavor.
My friend had a steak bowl.
The steak was cooked to perfection seasoned well, but it wasn't filling.
Stop by check it out it wasn't bad at all.

I recently visited Rio Bravo Tacos and Taqueria, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant.
I decided to sit at the bar, but the service was incredibly slow, both in the evening and during the day.
Despite sitting there for a while, I was completely ignored by the staff, which left me feeling quite frustrated. To make matters worse, I was overcharged for my drink—about $5 more than what I had ordered.
When I asked for the check to clarify the charges, I was told that I couldn’t have one, which was both confusing and unacceptable. The food didn’t redeem the experience.
I tried the tacos and queso dip, both of which were disappointing.
The tacos were incredibly basic and lacked any real flavor.
The queso dip was even worse—the cheese was curdling together, making it anything but creamy.
The menu promised green chilis on top of the queso, but I guess that was too much to ask for because they were nowhere to be found. As if the poor service, overcharging, and disappointing food weren’t bad enough, I was constantly bothered by flies throughout my time there.
The flies were all over me and the area around me, which made me lose my appetite.
I couldn't even consider eating the food because the flies were swarming around it. Overall, my experience at Rio Bravo was disappointing, and I would not recommend it based on the issues I encountered with service, cleanliness, and food quality.
