" After hearing so much about Rio Lerma, I had high expectations, and thankfully, they were met! I loved the decor, which felt very authentic and homey. I dined on the enchilada trio, and the flavors were vibrant and complex. The staff were attentive, checking in frequently but never hovering, which I appreciated. My only drawback was the wait for a table, as we went during prime time—definitely a testament to their popularity! I will certainly be back during quieter hours so I can dive into their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great dinner experience at Rio Lerma! The decor is colorful and welcoming. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the staff. I opted for the chicken enchiladas and they were absolutely divine, smothered in a savory sauce. I loved the complimentary chips and salsa, and I must mention the margaritas—so refreshing!
