“ Very good food was flavorful and the drinks are nice and strong. I would come back! I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas and would recommend it! ”
“ Food is delicious. Prices are lower than most places. Very laid back atmosphere. The margaritas are strong and less than one dollar. This place is definitely a hidden gem! ”
“ Rio Lerma has been a Terrell favorite for many years. The food is always good and freshly prepared. The menu has lots of different choices, especially with different types of enchiladas. Their queso blanco is awesome, and I say it's the best in town! Service is always quick, and they keep your drinks full. There is a back area for parties and groups, and the restaurant itself has a large dining room with plenty of tables. ”
“ I would give this place a 3.5, if they let me, so I just rounded up. As a born and raised southern Californian, Rio Lerma has been the most legit/ authentic Mexican food place, we have found, since my family and I have moved to Forney, TX. The atmosphere is nice, small town feel. The service was good. The food was good. To be honest it's tough finding great Mexican Food in Texas. I moved from Arizona and I think AZ beats TX, when it comes to Mexican Food. LMFAO. ”
“ Decided to try this place since it was right next door to our hotel. I was not disappointed. I had to try the chiliquilles. I had over easy eggs a d changed the Ranchero sauce to the tomatillo. It was perfect. The chips and salsa with guacamole were fresh and delicious. They did not skimp on the guacamole. My sister had the brisket burrito. She said it was very good. The margarita was good and very strong. Service was quick and friendly. Don't miss this place. ”
“ I met friend for lunch. Queso Blanca is very good as is chips and salsa. Salsa is in a tiny bowl, way too small. Brisket enchiladas are delicious! Great service and nice atmosphere. ”
“ Yes to food Yes to service Restaurant gives what it needs to give! I've only had once issue here and it was fixed. Drinks are amazing and you will definitely know your limits!! Try them we love it. Fajitas ”
