Mexican Restaurants near Berlin

“I wanted to give 5 stars just for the employees' efforts. Clearly this location has severe staffing issues due to the wait. However, the girls working were so apologetic and were obviously doing their best to keep the shift going. They let us know the food was being worked on and although it was a while, they maintained professionalism and a kind attitude. I have personally worked food service where you have so few people that the front of house IS the back of house as well, and I suspect this was the case. The food was good (I am sure particularly fresh given the situation). My only other comment is that the parking lot has a lot of trash and there weren't receptacles - likely is not Taco Bell specifically since other stores share the lot. Anyway, the workers at this location work so hard and I hope their managers (and the managers themselves who are working alongside with them) are recognizing solid work ethic.“

“Food was amazing and service was wonderful! Have driven by countless times and so glad we went in. Tucked in on a little side street- no glitz- no glam- and those are typically the best places. Try this place.“

“The best! My son had birria tacos for the first time here & is now addicted lol he orders them almost weekly! Everything comes out fast & delicious“

“The best and most authentic around family run and business owners always on site! I spend money here weekly sometimes daily Driving 30+ mins happily every time because I know it’s worth it“

“Really good food,Really nice waiter. I had a tough time hearing because of all the excess noise but that doesn't impact the experience. I got called into work yesterday so I had to run.

“Definitly love ALL the tacos, the birria is awsome. Tamales are on point too!“

“THEIR GUACAMOLE? AMAZING. THEIR TACO AND BURRITOS?? AMAZING Don’t sleep on salsa 3“

“If you’re into really authentic and delicious Mexican food and great service stop into this little Mexican luncheonette. They serve breakfast and lunch. We arrived for a late lunch. I had the chicken quesadilla (with extra jalapeños) and my friend had the biggest and most delicious taco salad I have ever seen. The shredded chicken in the quesadilla was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. Definitely a place to come back to!“

“Amazing food great service very reasonable and the jalapeño tequila avocado margarita is the best!“

“Had the opportunity to visit their old place many times on special occasions, their cleanliness and quality menu were great. Now I just love their new location, beautiful and so well decorated with the same friendly service! I highly recommend this place!“

“Great authentic Mexican cuisine! Extremely friendly service, quality food and reasonable prices. Definitely a must try!“

“If you’re looking for Mexican food on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, you have choices. If you want to sip margaritas out of a fish bowl and guacamole made table side then Puerto Vallarta and Azteca might be for you. If you want fast food from chain restaurants then there’s Chipotle and Moe’s. But if you’re looking for the best authentic Mexican fare the Berlin Turnpike has to offer, look no further the Salsa 4 Taqueria! It’s a hole in wall that you would drive by if you weren’t looking for it. I had beef empanadas, a trio of tacos, el pastor, pork belly, and deep fried shrimp. I’ve never been to Mexico but I imagine this is what I would get on the streets there. Be prepared to wait for your food. Empanadas are made to order and the corn taco shells are pressed and cooked to order with a choice of soft or crunchy! The el pastor was very flavorful, pork belly with a nice char on the outside melts in your mouth, the batter fried shrimp were large and delicious, shredded beef in the empanadas was braised to perfection! Sorry for the lack of pictures, I dug in before it crossed my mind. Yes, it’s that good!“

“You need to try french fries at Baja's restaurant. Very good taste and crispy.“

“Awesome food and amazing people“

“Love it. Super attentive staff without being annoying. Great guacamole and salsa. Blackened haddock with pineapple and grilled vegetables was excellent.“

“I wanted Pho and my mom wanted a burrito bowl. Well she got what she wanted and I got something to never expected, a Phorrito! Pho ingredients in a burrito. And it was pretty amazing!“

“Really nice, clean, great guac. My son loves the chicken. Keeps asking me if we can go back, so, we are going twice in one week. Definitely a staple for us now.

Vegetarian options: Tortillas, black beans, guacamole, salsa, chips, lettuce, pico de gallo, roasted veggies.

Dietary restrictions: We have nut and dairy allergies so plenty here for us like chicken, black beans, guacamole, pico.

Parking: Easy in and out.“

“Food was phenomenal, very authentic and tasty. We ordered the birria tacos with consomé, flautas and aguas frescas, everything was spectacular and full of flavor.

The decor was also beautiful, especially the hand-painted artwork on the sides of the boths which was bursting with color and whimsy.

I would highly recommend visiting for the food and atmosphere, as well as the great service :)“

“Fantastic spot for quick & healthy Mexican cuisine. If you're after "Taco Bell" style food this aint it, expect more authenticity & cilantro

I'm in the area visiting my family often & TWE is one of our favorite options. The staff is consistently friendly & the food is consistently delicious, & I REALLY appreciate them having Tofu as an optional ingredient

Do yourself a favor & give them a try!“

“great food and tasty. I'm trying different type of food and so far yummy“

“The food is fantastic and the staff is fabulously. Very friendly and sometimes the guy delivers the food at my work at the Laundry Center without asking. Make sure you bless them. The food I recommends is the Sope with beef and the Oh dame…. Horochocho or Horchuita something! It’s made with tortillas and stuff like a soft Taco or only better with avacado,parsley,chopped lettuce tomato and onion and with grill beef and green hot sauce ??

Dietary restrictions: If you’re virgin uh… I mean vegan ! Yeah they will not kill horse to feed you.“

“5 stars !! Next to highland Park market“

“Mi experiencia fue super!! Muy buen servicio & la comida super buenisima definitivamente este es el spot nuevo 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“went for dinner on Cinco Demio. Bad idea. order drinks, app and entree. all came out at the same time. everything came out of a box or can. Nothing fresh. Server was very inattentive. Don't waste your time or money.“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“

“I've seen the truck around Meriden and finally had a chance to try Birria Mia at the Made in CT Expo. Fantastic Birria tacos! I'll certainly be stopping in the future.“

“I haven’t been here in several years, but we recently moved back to the area and came here for lunch! The margaritas are just as amazing as I remember and I had the camarones picante that were amazing and the other person with me had a combo he loved as well!!!! Always loved this place“

“I had an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was exceptional—everyone was so warm and welcoming, making me feel like I was part of the family. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which really enhanced my experience. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious good af ,authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous .“
