Mexican Restaurants near Ansonia

“This was my first time here and I was impressed. The vibe/decor/music were fantastic.. the food was delicious and authentic.. margaritas were amazing! Waiter/customer service was outstanding!“

“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!“

“I’ve been to most, if not all, Mexican restaurants in Connecticut, and this one is hands down the best! I can’t believe I waited this long to try it. Everything was delicious, beautifully made, and top quality. The service was excellent too. So glad you all reopened after that crazy flood!!“

“Really good food, great portions, great service and great prices“

“It's been 11 years since my last review. I've been coming to Senor Ponchos when this restaurant was located in Monroe CT. I still enjoy visiting. This past Labor Day weekend was more of the fun and family friendly vibe they're known for. The menu is updated slowly since my last review. Tacos and Tuesday is a large focus of their fare. I had my usual shrimp chimichanga dish and it was pleasing. Cloth napkins are back and the welcoming dish of nachos and salsa is a constant. Walking through the bar to the patio may not be ideal, but that's the way the building is configured. The last few times I've been there, we've been seated in the main restaurant. It's alive but noisy because its a family destination. The drink menu has expanded into its own menu along with the prices $$. Running restaurants in this challenging inflationary business environment must have its challenges in 2025. So it was good to see they're still thriving while maintaining a predictable pricing strategy.
It's a nice they choose to use 40% recycle to-go containers that are secure and easily microwavable. The one problem is there is no recycle stamp anywhere on the lid. I had to look up what was printed on the container to figure out it's composition. I hope a lot of those don't get thrown in the garbage instead of the recycling bin. Keep coming.“

“This restaurant is lmost hidden in a small strip mall, just a quarter mile from the Orange West Haven line, this family run, friendly Taqueria is definitely a hidden gem. As you walk inside the vibrant colors and ambience surround you with hand painted Mexican scenes on the tables, carved colorful chairs and warmth from the friendly staff. There are only about 12 or so tables. The food servings are generous and full of fresh vegetables, cheese and delicious well cooked meat. It is a great place for a relaxed meal or take-out. Support this easily accessible Post Road family business and enjoy!!“

“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“

“Had breakfast here today for the first time. The guys were very friendly and the food was excellent. I will be back!“

“Simply the BEST Mexican restaurant in CT! My go to is either the enchilada combo … the best MOLE sauce ever!! OR, the carnitas plate… everything is excellent!!!“

“i love how big the portions and it food is always delicious. I've never ordered something and didnt like it. for example this is the burrito size i got tonight. 😍“

“OMG THIS PLACE IS ACTUALLY FANTASTIC. I have had so many nachos in my life since they are actually a favorite food of mine and these are the best I have ever had. Can only recommend this place. The Birria tacos were also fantastic. The take out also comes very well wrapped so it does not spill. Honestly would actually drive an hour for this place.“

“Todo muy rico y el personal muy amable 100% recomendable“

“The mixed nachos have literally been the best Nachos I've ever had in my life... I've had them at least 20 times and they are always amazing“

“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:)“

“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.“

“I have been coming here for years. Most of the items are great but the last 5 or so times that I have come here the chips are so greasy that I can’t eat them. This sucks bc the salsa is great. Also, the restaurant can be pretty cold in the winter as the door is opening and closing a lot.“

“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!“

“We always love coming here! Jose Luis and his team, especially the wonderful female bartender, always make us feel so welcome. The service is top-notch — friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food is consistently great every time, and the drinks are just as good. It’s one of our favorite spots because we know we’ll always leave happy and full. Highly recommend!“

“An old friend recently recommended Taco Town. I finally stopped in today for a steak burrito. It was huge and delicious! I'll be back again soon!“

“I got tacos for my brother, my boyfriend, and I. I got carnitas which was pretty good I liked there wasn’t much fat in the taco! My boyfriend and my brother both got steak they enjoyed it. They did put some extra hour sauce at home but they enjoyed the tacos. They are a little on the blander side but I haven’t had pancheros in a while and wanted to try it out again.“

“Had my bridal shower here - everything was absolutely perfect! James was super helpful and responsive throughout the entire booking and planning process. The staff during the event were wonderful and the food was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better event!“

“Our server was excellent. It was LOUD. Granted it was a Friday night, but even so, the place was incredibly loud. We only had just four people, and still all of us had trouble hearing one another. They should really put stuff on the walls to absorb the sound. (And they could put beautiful Mexican fabrics up, win/win.) Appetizers we good, but not great, but we all liked our entrees. Will definitely go again.“

“I think this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten at ! The service is good ,clean and the food is extremely great tasting!“

“We are OBSESSED with this place! Our whole family stopped in for dinner, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were warm and welcoming, and the food? Next level! The fajitas came out sizzling hot, packed with bold, fresh flavors that hit all the right notes. Every bite was a flavor explosion! Even the kids’ meals were impressive—generous portions, great taste, and left our little food critics smiling from ear to ear. But the real star? The Tex-Mex. Hands down the best we’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and absolutely unforgettable. We’re already planning our next visit!“

“A nice clean and cozy little place with a great bar and lots of high tables or dining area if you prefer. Great service. Friendly waitress who took the time to explain some of the menu. Everything was delicious and fresh.“

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

“Just tried TexMex Fusion at the Seymour Pumpkin Fest (CT) this weekend and absolutely loved it! My boyfriend and I shared a steak, pork belly and chicken taco plate and enjoyed so much we went back for a second round! Churros were also delicious. 10/10 we recommend!“

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

“Best Mexican food around! 👌🏼“

“The first time I went, my food was excellent, but this time all of my items were missing sour cream which was listed on the receipt for my online order. My burrito didn't have the same juicy flavor as the last time I ordered from the same location, so I was a bit disappointed. Service was good. I looked forward to going back, but this time I don't.“

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

“Nada porque son antihigiénicos“

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

“Just had the best Philly steak sandwich ever.. Great food, great owner and sevice.. ENJOY!!“
