Rio Tomatlan is the former El Rincon Mexicano Dos. It changed hands in mid 2007 although we understand it is still in the same family. Menu is basically the same as previous. Very authentic Mexican food, far different from what's served at the big chains that claim to be 'Mexican'. Kind of tricky to find, they are a block off the main street of Canandaigua (left turn if you are headed South, towards the lake). Doesn't look like much from the outside but go in, it's worth it.

It opened in 1991.

The staff is friendly, the environment simple and traditional, and the food absolutely outstanding. The mole is to die for, best I've had outside of Oaxaca, and I would be their best customer if it were closer to Rochester. Rio Tomatlan Dos in Rochester, Rafael? —kristenfloresfratto

2008-11-25 09:46:25   I lived n Canandaigua for a while and frequented this place when it was El Rincon Mexicano Dos, great food, fun place. I have returned to it now being Rio Tomatlan and it is still excellent. They do close a bit early, even on weekends, so go early. —mmsmith

The bad: The server told me that Horchata was a "seasonal" drink and that's why they didn't have it. I'm mexican...you get horchata year round down there. I asked for Sidral, and he had no idea what it was, even though it was on the menu as "Sidral." The rice was overcooked and I found the rice + beans overly salty. I'd go back for the queso fundido tacos though. —MarcVera

Don't expect huge plates of mediocre food here. The portion sizes are appropriate, and if you just order one dish, you probably won't have leftovers to take home. I ordered a pork tamale and the side of rice and beans, and I enjoyed it all. The rice and beans were nothing to gush over, but they were solid quality and tasty. I will definitely be returning even though I live in Henrietta. —ErinPence
