Mexican Restaurants near Ansonia

“Food is great. Service needs to improve. My friends and I were there for dinner. It took almost 30 minutes to order and get a drink. Then I asked for our soup prior to the meal. Each of our meals came out separately, like we were three different orders, so we really did not eat together. The soups finally came out at the end and when I told the girl we did not want the soups, she said we couldn’t change it and we had to pay for it because we ordered it. Then when we brought this to the managers attention, they said well we’ll give you five dollars off the bill. The other thing I didn’t like was they added 15% tip in. I should decide how much a tip is going to be depending on how good the service and how fast things are. Places that add a tip to the Bill basically are telling you they don’t care how bad the service was you’re still going to give them a tip. I disagree with that.“

“We actually prefer taco bell breakfast over lunch! Worth trying one morning. The steak crunchwrap and quesdilla is delicious. I always add extra steak because it's so good. We also like the sausage crunchwrap and quesdillas. And if you use the app and earn fire rewards you can get the sausage quesdilla for free!“

“Amazing menu, not only tacos! Delicious and affordable! Great service! ♡ Thanks for a great dinner!“

“We ordered and picked up. We had ordered from them years ago and were not that impressed. We'd heard that they had stepped up their game and decided to give it a try. Ordered nachos and my husband ordered a combo platter. I thought it was pretty good! Still not as good as Mexican food in the Bronx, but we'll definitely order from them again.“

“I've dined in an taken out! Great tacos! Al Pastor and chorizo are my fav! Last time I went though they gave me some gringo tacos ?! I was missing my double tortilla for what ever reason... but its ok! Horchata is amazing an its finally getting cold out side!!! Can't wait to have that Caliente!!! ?“

“My first time coming here for tacos, the birria tacos were amazing!!! I ate it in the parking lot, couldn’t wait… the onions made it even better. The pineapple drink was refreshing not too sweet. Cashier was helpful, sweet, and patient. This is my spot for tacos now:)“

“we got two entrees and an app. the chips were forgotten and there was a wait but very understandable with being grand opening around dinner time hours. birria was phenomenal IMO. Queso was very smooth with a nice spice . the pineapple salsa was very tasty. a lot of promise with this company . would def order again“

“I eat a lot of authentic Mexican food. This place is definitely very good. Haven’t had anything from here I didn’t enjoy. I order at least 3 times a week since I live up the road. My favorite being the Enchilada Cemita. I recommend El Gallo Dorado to everyone.“

“They are always busy but the line moves so quickly every time. The employees hustle and do a great job. Tables and drink area were clean and I saw the gentleman doing it. Miles above that trash across the street. Good, fast food with competent service.“

“Wonderful service, Alan, our waiter, was very kind and understanding. We thank him for the great hospitality. All the staff were excellent. The food, not to mention, was very delicious and fresh. We would definitely return again to share such a special moment. Thank you very much for everything. ☺️“

“This place is great, I’ve been close to 10 times now and have never been disappointed! My favorites so far are the land and sea quesadilla and the quesa birria. The tres leches is delicious as well.
The bad reviews they have are quite shocking to me because this is one of the tastiest and consistent places I’ve been to. I will continue to be a happy customer here!“

“Reliably excellent. Loved the choices of margaritas, all delicious. Food was top notch, with friendly, attentive service to boot. Since opening, La Palapa has provided a consistent and dependable culinary experience which keeps us coming back. Thanks for the memories.“

“Pretty good tacos, I had steak and cheese and carnitas, my friends got ground beef and queso and my boyfriend got the longanizas taco combo. This steak and cheese one is very American flavor profile, carnitas is very traditional Mexican flavor profile and the longaniza was not that spicy. The chips are really good, super thin, crispy and a little bit greasy but really good. The salsas are good, the queso was good but not spicy at all. They have Mexican sodas, Coca-Cola and jaritos. The restaurant is really small, there were two other groups of two in there and we could all hear each other's conversations. It's very tiny, but the staff is nice and the tacos are good.

Vegetarian options: There's decent vegetarian options, and you can ask them to modify most things. We get things modified there all the time. Most of the time it's done correctly, but if you stress that you have an allergy or that you're vegetarian they will make an effort.

Dietary restrictions: My boyfriend has an onion allergy and we have ordered from there bunch of times, most of the time it's correct and when I have had to ask them to remake something because there was onion in his dish, it was not a problem.

Parking: There's a small handful of spots in a free parking lot, you can also park on the street, but it's a little ways down and you'd have to walk because the side street has a family dollar right next door so you have to park on the other side of that if there's no spots in that tiny lot.“

“We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday here. The food and staff were fabulous!! Highly recommend Brady's 🥳“

“Omg the food is awesome excellent service my son found a new love for taco 🌮 thanks rico Mac taco❤️“

“Best Mexican food around! 👌🏼“

“So we stopped there cause my friend was buying a car from someone and that's the parking lot they choose to meet. I've never even been to that part of CT before. I had the chicken quesadilla, OMG the chicken was seasoned and cooked amazingly. The tortilla was toasted perfectly (and it was huge) great overall meal. My friend had a couple different tacos which he said were amazing. Even our waiter was friendly, willing to give his preferences, he would check on us to make sure we were good. Haven't had good experiences for awhile now so this was a nice change. Hopefully I'll have a reason to visit that part of CT so I can stop there again. Definitely worth the time to check out.“

“I love everything about El Barrio. The food is outstanding as is the atmosphere. Eldar makes amazing cocktails! Highly recommend.“

“Four adults on a long road trip heading back to New England. We get off the highway and make our way to the diner for a midday meal. we were all super impressed with quality, quantity, cleanliness, customer service, price, and coffee! We all highly recommend you visit and enjoy,, and if ever given the opportunity we will definitely stop again! We thank you for the wonderful hospitality!“

“Good was fine but no coffee brewed at 2 pm and no decaf at all??“
