Restaurantji's Norwalk guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors.
“I just visited for the first time, it wasn't bad at all. I ordered a quesobirria taco and it has great flavor, my husband ordered his usual chicken burrito and ingredients were all fresh. It's was a quick dinner but yes we will return to try something else on menu.“
“The food is incredible it reminds me of going to my grandparents house and eating. The staff are so warm and kind 10/10. With all the options in the area this place surpasses all of them. Thank you for the food and experience.Parking: Parking can be found right in front on the street or the parking lot next door.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.“
“I am so glad we tried this restaurant instead of going to our usual spots. This is going to become one of our usual spots now. The food is so good. We ended up getting 1lb each of four of their meats including the fish, and none of them disappointed. We hope this place stays and grows. Excellent food.“
“Came by this hidden gem with the family, food is amazing! The place is a bit compact, and the parking can be a bit challenging, especially during lunch. But the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. There's meats from asada, carnitas, buche, cabeza, langua, and suadero. From tacos to tortas, nachos, burritos, sopes, and quesadillas.Tacos are about $2 each, about the serving size of regular street tacos, but with amazing flavor.“
“The chicharrón taco was so good. The red salsa is very good as well. The service is A1. I came on taco Tuesday and $1 tacos is honestly insane but very very worth it. The asada was solid, but the chicharrón was the star. I'd recommend this place for a good and affordable lunch.“
“This place is always reliable for being open and serving delicious churros. Today we came after trying to get to another churro place that was closed, and we knew to come here because their hours on Google always reflect the times they are open. Thank you Dulce Canella!“
“This restaurant is the real deal!! We had the asada, chicharron and Chorizo w/ papa's gorditas. ALL OF THEM WERE AMAZING. We wanted to try more put they were so filling we are will have to make a return trip soon. The service is excellent as well, kind & friendly staff. There is enough seating for 30+ people but I can see this place filling up once the word gets out.A must try in Norwalk for fresh delicious Mexican food.“
“First of all the staff is super friendly! Me and my stupid girlfriend went in for some pozole and it was PERFECT, they have some extra hot sauce you can ask for that gets you hot and sweaty, it’s a good burn (note: if I don’t regret it later, it wasn’t hot enough) highly recommend.“
“Amazing food, especially at happy hour. I always sit at the bar and get the best service from Jacky, Mandó, Brennda, Sellenne, Saydie the Manager Pedro and the beautiful Valeentina :) The food on the happy hour is a great deal However, some of the other dishes that are not on the happy hour are great Such as the chile verde plate and the governor tacos“
“The tamales were pretty decent. Not as big as other places, but they put a generous amount of meat in them and the flavor was good. I have tasted tamales at other places and usually they are pretty greasy or dry. Tamales are a lot of work, but I feel that these ones are better than many around the area. I tried the pork and beef ones. Will try the elote and rajas w/cheese next time. The people were very nice too, they answered all my questions regarding how they make the tamales. “
“First visit to Iguana's and we were very impressed. The food was authentic, fresh and VERY tasty. Just what we would expect. The lady who helped us was very friendly, attentive to our specifications on our order and gave us some great food suggestions for lunch. Thank you for such a great lunch and a great first impression. We will DEFINITELY be back.“
“Ordered on line based on IG influencer review. Missed the small building when I drove up. But parking on street and behind building. Ordered Chicken Quesadillas and Dorado tacos but they were out of Chicken on Saturday evening? Good was prepared in front of me. Pre-fried tortillas were cracked open and filled with Crem cheese and the rest of the fillings were placed atop the tortillas. Seemed light on cabbage and onions but after applying sauce from bag it was delicious. Carnitas Quesadilla was full of meat, light on cheese. Tipped the Quesadillas in the bag sauce and spicy green sauce and it was very good.“
“I've been going to Baja Cali Tacos for approximately five+ years! Food is amazing! Always a friendly staff! Quick service, good prices, and the BEST homemade chile ?!!!!! Try the toasted & fried fresh Chile's BOMB ? ? ? ? YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! My favorite is walking in and feeling like you're at your own place!! ☆☆☆☆☆BAJA-CALI TACOS #1 IN NORWALK, CAKid-friendliness: Kids will always be in view of parents, unless they're using the restroom ?!!“
“I had tacos two each tripas and chicharron. They were good but the chicharron was wet and not what I expected, still good. The tortillas were slightly crispy and I really liked that. My love had a wet burrito plate with carnitas and he enjoyed it. I would definitely go back and recommend to others in the area to drop by, their menu has variety of plates and reasonably priced. The staff were great and spoke English and Spanish.“
“This place is awesome! Me and my GF love it here. The service is always great and the burgers and fries are very good. I would very highly suggest the taco truck that is a part of the restaurant as well. They have very good tacos dorados (fried tacos with birria type of meat) and the burritos are huge for the price (I personally like the al pastor one). You also get a free refill on the soda here. Or just ask for water and you save some money lol Their breakfast burritos are awesome too btw.“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I really didn't want to leave a review because this is a secret gem of a place and I want it all to myself! But I'm torn because I want to keep this place in business. Lol. I need to start by saying I have issues with sugary foods due to treatment I had years ago, so desserts have not been part of my life for a while. I would always try something sweet in hopes I'd enjoy desserts again. I've had popsicles from the other well known Mexican chain, but they were too sweet. Much to my surprise, Paleteria Limon's popsicles are perfect and I can really taste the fruit! They also make their own ice cream (unfortunately I can't have any) and for you party animals, liquor flavored ice cream. They sell other items as well as purified water by the gallon so you can fill your water dispenser bottle at the same time. Lots of flavors to choose from.“
“I went there because of the homemade tortillas and menudo. I took my own pot. They have super service. Juan helped me. It was very delicious. My wife kept saying how good it was!!! The tortillas were excellent as well. I wish Taco Joe and Juan many years of good fortune. I will be going back for sure.“
“I noticed a lot of restaurants called Alberts or Alberto’s I wasn’t sure if they were all tryna imitate each other. I’m glad I came to this location. Great food! We ordered the super fries which were carne asada fries. Carne asada quesadilla & a carne asada torta. Delicious . We were full we didn’t even start the quesadilla. They were busy . So I know it’s good ! Thanks for the great food !!!“
“Delicious food like the breakfast burrito that comes with eggs, rice,beans,salsa in a thin flour tortilla simply delicious, authentic Mexican food for a very reasonable price and excellent customer service, many thanks to the cooks and staff“
“The best burger and fries i've had in years. I got the double cheeseburger combo - the patties were grilled to perfection and it was just exemplary juicy. Not too much, not too little. Got the combo and the quantity of the fries with it are very decent for what you pay, and they're very crispy and tasty on their own. There is an indoor and outdoor seating areas that are both very clean. Give this place a shot!“
“Have been here a few times now and have to admit, this place has some of the best birria in town. If you come here, you have to get the Quesatacos with some consume. They give you lemons and a green sauce that is killer. The place is a small hole in the wall but the staff is great and always there to answer your question. There isn't much space to eat inside so I just take most of my orders to go. We have also tried their birria burrito and that was a good switch from the tacos. With the rice and beans it really made it stand out. Highly recommended this place if you're in the mood for Birria Tacos.“
“Got a breakfast burrito. I felt like a little pricey…. But it definitely worth it! Really delicious! The green salsa bomb great for people who enjoy flavor on their food. The red salsa is spicier than the green, but definitely recommended. I get tortillas chips with a coke. I’ll definitely be back .“
“I am a little hesitant to give it a 4 because on both occasions that I've tried it, the beans and rice were a little overdone. Probably cause they've been sitting baking all day, but everything else is so freaking delicious. The nachos amazing. The red chilaquiles nice spice and wonderful taste, the sauce doesn't have any chunks ofTomato or anything. It's nicely done. It could've gone 3 stars if any of my meals were missing anything but it's worth it“
“My family and I have been coming here for the past 10 years! My I'll just send is now 9 years old and we have been taking him here on and off since he was a baby. My husband and I have been dating for 11 years before he proposed to me. We both been living together as boyfriend and girlfriend in Norwalk, where we always have lunch or dinner here because it's so close to home... We literally live behind this place about a few blocks down. It's our go-to restaurant when we both say," don't know what to have, what do you want?" For the past years that we've been coming here, the waitresses have always been so beautiful and very welcoming and kind. Their food changed this year( 2023)... It seems like their shrimp ceviche recipe has changed and the plates have got smaller, and they no longer put the Mexican flag toppers on the burritos to add pizzazz... I think little details like that always makes people want to come back... This year was a different experience for us because the wet burritos were still delicious but the ceviche and seafood was no longer the same... It feels as if They have changed chefs... Either that or management... All in all. We will continue to come here if the food is good... The moment services are no longer good and food no longer good. We will find another spot. Thank you for the many years and memories in this restaurant in Norwalk.“
“Seriously this restaurant is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant go to! They are quick, great service and most of all most of their foods are so good! My favorites are Chillequiles? Wet burritos, meatball soup, and etc.. I think this location is way better than La Habra location in my personal opinion!“
