Rio 150 is the home of the biggest margarita on Lake Norman, and it’s the hot spot in Downtown Mooresville for Mexican cuisine! A friend and I recently dined in, and they gave us the royal treatment from their menu! With two locations in Mooresville, it’s a must visit! Their food is delicious and authentic, service is top notch, and the experience is one of a kind!
