Mexican Connection Restaurante y Tequilera has been serving home made Mexican and Southwestern cuisine for over 30 years. It all started when Marilyn Farrell bought a little pizza place on Court Street in downtown Saratoga and started selling tacos out of it.   A true pioneer, Marilyn was the first to bring Mexican cuisine to the Capital region in 1979.  As business grew, she moved the restaurant to it's current location on Nelson Avenue.  After working for Marilyn for several years, Jason Friedman purchased the restaurant from her in 2002.

All food is made-to-order on premises, providing the freshest and best tasting food possible.  We have a committed and caring staff dedicated to serving your needs.  There is a total of over 80 years of experience at the Mexican Connection between our five longest tenured employees.  What an amazing testament to their dedication and service!

Additionally, we have a full bar featuring over 150 premium sipping tequilas, a wide selection of Mexican beer and fantastic hand-shaken margaritas made one at a time.  If there is a larger selection of 100% Blue Agave tequila on the East Coast, we haven’t found it.

Please be our guest at the restaurant.  We promise to provide great, home made food in a casual and fun environment served by people that really care.
