Nestled in Terrell, Texas, Rio Lerma delivers a bold and satisfying Mexican dining experience, and their menu is the star of the show. It begins with a generous lineup of appetizers, including the Queso Fundido, a molten blend of cheese with chorizo that's rich and indulgent, and the classic Guacamole Fresco, freshly mashed and vibrant with lime and cilantro. For those seeking something heartier from the start, the Nachos Supreme arrives fully loaded with beans, meat, jalapeños, and a mountain of cheese.
The heart of the menu lies in the traditional Mexican plates. The Carne Asada is tender and smoky, served with rice, beans, and tortillas that balance every bite. The Enchiladas Verdes, drenched in tangy green tomatillo sauce and filled with either chicken or cheese, are a standout for their balance of spice and creaminess. Tacos come in many styles, but the Street Tacos—available with beef, pork, or chicken—shine for their authenticity and simplicity, served on soft corn tortillas with onions and cilantro.
Seafood lovers will appreciate dishes like the Camarones a la Diabla, spicy shrimp in a fiery red sauce, and the Tilapia Veracruzana, which brings a lighter, tomato-based flavor with peppers and olives. For something comforting and deeply flavorful, the Menudo and Caldo de Res (beef soup) offer slow-cooked satisfaction in every spoonful.
Rio Lerma doesn’t skip on Tex-Mex favorites either. The Chimichangas, fried to a golden crunch and stuffed generously, and the Fajita Platters—served sizzling with bell peppers and onions—are crowd-pleasers perfect for sharing. Sides like Mexican Rice, Charro Beans, and Elote complement every dish with traditional flair.
The dessert offerings may be compact, but the Sopapillas and Fried Ice Cream round out the meal on a sweet, indulgent note. Every item on the menu feels handcrafted to deliver warmth, flavor, and a true taste of regional Mexican cuisine with a Texas twist.
