Was in the area and stopped by for lunch. This restaurant is pretty authentic as far as Mexican food in the area. The customer service was spot on and I enjoyed the food! I ordered a side of guacamole to start and, of course, they bring chips and salsa. The salsa was flavorful with a nice kick to it. The guacamole is simply mashed up avocados - but it was still flavorful (if you order it won't come with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro). I settled on the crispy beef tacos and it's served with rice and beans with a side of salsa. The tacos were really good, fresh, and enough for a lunch portion! If you're ever in the area, check this spot out!

Just when I think I've had it too much that I'm sick of it, I try something else on the menu that has me returning for many more trips. My only wish is that they would write our orders down so that we get it right the first time.

Recently tried Rio Lerma for the first time and it did not disappoint! Had the chili relleno stuffed with shrimp and would recommend it! We will definitely be back!

Rio Lerma is in Terrell, Texas. It's out of our area but it's a fun destination restaurant. They have THE BEST Mexican food I've ever had. This is the real deal. Red chili con carne with tender pork on top of a perfect chicken or cheese pablano with ranchero sauce. Enchiladas with eggs. So many authentic foods that I've only seen at friends homes. They have authentic enchiladas, wonderful beef picadillo tacos and everything you could and could never think of. Absolutely delicious. The margaritas are to die for and when I was last there, Mondays and Tuesdays were $1 margaritas. They yummy and pack a punch. Chips and salsa very tasty as well as the guacamole. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the perfect service from the bar staff to the wait staff. Super friendly and kind. This is truly small town Texas at its best. Although it's growing at the speed of light. And there are a couple of little shops on this downtown street. Don't miss the super cute bookstore across and down the street. They have a resident cat and places to sit and read. It's like stepping into another world. Take a relaxing day trip to Terrell to eat some great Mexican food and enjoy the surrounding area as well. Fun!

This is the better Mexican food restaurant in the town of Terrell. The food and service were good and it looked to be a clean establishment as well. Three televisions were available to view the World Series, too. Nice! I'd definitely return and recommend it to others.
