About Us

Mexican Connection Restaurante y Tequileria has been serving home made Mexican and Southwestern cuisine for over 40 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 area in 1979 making Mexican Connection the longest operating Mexican Restaurant in the Capital Region.  Since its inception, there have only been three owners. After starting his career in the industry at Mexican Connection at the age of 20, Joe Parisi purchased the restaurant in July of 2014.

All food is made-to-order on premises, providing the freshest and best tasting food possible. Additionally, we have a full bar featuring over 160 premium sipping tequilas and Mezcals, a wide selection of Mexican beer and award-winning hand-shaken margaritas. If there is a larger selection of 100% Blue Agave tequila on the East Coast, we haven’t found it.

Everyone who walks through the door becomes “Mex Family”. Please, be our guest and see why so many have called Mexican Connection their second home for so many years. We promise to provide great, home-made food in a casual, fun and family friendly environment served by people who really care.
