We had a great dinner at Mariposa! We were greeted by 3 friendly faces before being seated. Water came to us before our waitress, and all the food was perfectly flavored and cooked! I wish we lived closer so we could come back more frequently!!

Found this place by luck on a business trip last year and was in love - made sure to come back as soon as I was back in town and will continue to do so in the future! Authentic, fresh, and amazing food that comes out quick, the best spicy/smoky margarita I've ever had, and friendly service from all. Definitely a must-try when in Danbury!

Absolutely love this place! Loved it as a customer that has frequented a lot with friends, but love it even more after having my birthday dinner there a few weeks ago. The event planner was SUPER helpful and sweet, very accommodating to what I wanted and what some of my guests needed. The birthday was a hit, everyone loved the food and drinks, very happy I chose to do it here!
