Casual Mexican Fare by the River
El Rio Mexican Restaurant is a casual spot across from Kern River Park serving classic Mexican favorites such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and combo plates with rice and beans. A walk-up window and both indoor and outdoor seating, many with park views, create a laid-back setting popular with locals. The family-run team offers welcoming service, and the menu extends to ice cream, shakes, and Hawaiian-style shaved ice.
