The first Mexican restaurant in the capital region, Mexican Connection Restaurant & Cantina has been serving authentic Mexican and Southwestern cuisine since 1979.  We have been at our present location on Nelson Ave. (the old “41” for all you history buffs out there) for over 25 years.  Chefs Donna Duerr-Stumborg, Amanda Dombroski, William LaFlamme and our amazing kitchen staff are responsible for creating the delicious daily specials that allow us to utilize the freshest, local (when possible) ingredients in addition to our regular menu.  Chef Donna is just one of our long-term employees, having been with the restaurant for over 20 years.  The front of the house staff includes Heather Blanchard, who has been with us for over 14 years and Rory Guilfoyle who has been on board for 25 years!  The restaurant is owned by Johanna and Jason Friedman of Saratoga Springs.  We took over the reigns from Marilyn Farrell, founder of the Mexican Connection, in 2002.  We are all here to make your experience great at this Saratoga restaurant.

All food is made-to-order on premises, providing the freshest and best tasting food possible.  Additionally, we have a full bar featuring over 150 premium sipping tequilas, a wide selection of Mexican beer and fantastic hand-shaken margaritas.  The entire menu is available for take-out and we deliver during lunch hours Monday-Wednesday.
