Besides some really good tacos and chili, the Southwest Steak Salad is so good. Always get the steak and the lime vinaigrette dressing just takes it over the top. You will love it.

I have given Southwest several chances. I have never been impressed. There are not too many choices in Ridgefield so if it's Mexican that you want, this is the place. I usually travel just to avoid it. Not only is it mediocre at best, it's...More

We had been going to Southwest Café for years every time we would see a show at Ridgefield Playhouse. It used to be the BEST Mexican restaurant in the area. The last 2 times we went there the food was tasteless. The Chiles Relienos are...More

We'd been here years ago and are so happy to have returned. Food was fresh and delicious. Excellent service. Great margaritas. We were lucky to get a hot hatch roulette! If you've never had one, you never know how hot the chilis will be, thus...More

We are in Connecticut visiting friends and popped in here for an early dinner. It was a great meal with friendly and attentive service! We enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, food and the staff were excellent. Thank you for making a great memory for our family...More

This time it was a near miss. I can't tell if the Chef took the night off, or if there is a new Head of Kitchen, but it wasn't up to my last review. Now to be fair, there was nothing wrong with our dinners,...More
