40 Best Mexican Restaurants near Derby

“I went here on this past Monday and absolutely loved the salad I got. I went back again today on Friday and the same very friendly gentleman was there to help help me again. You get chips and salsa for free! I definitely recommend this place.“

“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!“

“my family ordered lunch from Isabel's to eat at home, but weve also stopped by in person to eat little snacks. so many food options on their menu and its all delicious, and I have a restrictive diet, but I still can eat many options. also, the hot chocolate, if you arent a big fan of Mexican hot chocolate, you can get a cup and mix it with american hot chocolate at home and it becomes incredibly delicious. idk, thats what I do when I get hot chocolate. I like trying to go to Isabel's when I can, theyre nice people and cool“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“This place reminded us why food made with love and care just hits different. The burritos were pure comfort, the churros were heavenly, and the service was the kind that makes you feel seen and appreciated. It’s more than just a meal here...it’s an experience you’ll want to come back for again and again.
Thank you for the hospitality and kindness.“

“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 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. 😍“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“The food is incredibly fresh AND delicious...and everybody working there has a smile on their face and is ready to help you if needed. I believe El Sol opened during the pandemic and they've been very successful...I believe that speaks for itself! I live right next door so I'm completely spoiled..🤣“

“Came here for the first time while driving through Bridgeport and was pleasantly surprised. They have an extensive menu that includes staple dishes like tacos and burritos, with harder to find dishes like Tlayudas, which are these amazing Mexican pizza like open face quesadillas native to the Oaxaca region. I devoured it. My partner was able to custom design her burrito so that it conformed to her vegan diet; cactus, beans peppers & onion burrito!

They also had a ton of freshly squeezed juice options like watermelon, lemonade etc., and the service was really attentive and helpful about customizing my partners meal

The menu is in Spanish so if you want to try some of the off beat options I recommend you bring a Spanish speaker with you, otherwise just go for simple dishes!

Overall this place was one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to, and I’m half Mexican I’ve been eating it all of my life and have pretty high standards for the stuff

Keep it up garibaldi

Vegetarian options: You can customize to make your dish vegan!“

“My wife and I walk to this place all of the time. I especially like the chicken soft shell tacos. Because the shells are good and sticky (not everyone's preference, I know), and the ingredients are of high enough quality, and so well-prepared, that they don't have to over-douse everything in salty sauces to mask the awfulness, the tacos stay together well. They are also reasonably hearty tacos--not thin, not overpacked. In short, this is one of those places that understands that well-wrought simplicity is the best approach for this kind of cuisine--great for a quick, satisfying meal. The service is efficient and kind, too!“

“Wow.... how have I never been here before. I pass it all the time. I have to say, from the outside, it's not very inviting. Maybe they could use more windows so you can tell of they are open or not. I was going to Madison deli on the street, but decided to pop inside Paraiso instead. So glad! Ordered a shrimp quesadilla, not in the menu, but most places I've found are accommodating. I got the meal, which comes with rice and beans. I was gonna get a side of guacamole, but at $7, it was too rich for my blood. Figured I'd just enjoy what came with the meal. The inside is clean, quiet, you're not right on top of the next table. I was getting mine to go, but they are offering dining in. My plate came to 17.50. Got home. Cracked it open. A very decent portion. Heavy! I like that when I spend a lot! The quesadilla was on. The. Money! Fresh, ample shrimp. Gooey cheese. The rice and beans was tasty and fresh! Perfect texture of beans. And a fresh salad on the side with a sliced avocado. I was disappointed there was no guacamole, or even sour cream. Luckily I had my own dollop of daisy to add but I'll sadly have to try the guac another day. Either way im writing this F-U-L-L. I'll be back!“

“The ONLY PLACE IN BRIDGEPORT that ALWAYS has tamales and CHUCHITOS available, my husband and kids love eating tamales cuando se les antoja so this place saves us the time of us having to make them at home when we are busy. TRY THE FRESH WATERS THEY ARE DELICIOUS!“

“Thank you for making my uncles 80th birthday special !! you all rock !!“

“As first time visitors it was a little difficult to find but staff in the store were really kind and helpful. This is located in Azteca Market. It's in the back of the store.

The young lady who gave us our order did so with a pleasant smile.

The birria tacos were great. Definitely best enjoyed fresh however they still had a nice crunch after the ten minute car ride home.

The steak burrito was also very flavorful and filling.

We got two sides of rice and beans (one came with the burrito and the other as a side). Neither of these were anything to write home about. The rice was very bland and the beans were good but nothing special.

Will definitely be going back“

“(Translated by Google) I loved the food for the first time I ordered it, it made me feel like I was eating in my country and very good customer service(Original)Me encanto la comida primera vez que pido me encanto me hizo sentir como comer en mi país y muy buena atención al cliente“

“Eu Amo La Poblanita ❤️🥰🤩😊🥳🙏🏻🍹🍾👏🏻 I love this place❤️the best Mexican food ever!!!! ❤️❤️Good food and a good place to have a good time 🥳🌹🤩🥰🍾👏🏻“

“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 restaurant is definitely one of the finest place in the neighborhood. Every time I visit this place I am profoundly happy. They keep their high level service and the topmost level of dishes they provide. You no doubt will love this place. Warmly recommended.“

“Best Mexican food around! 👌🏼“

“Amazing and tasty food! The pizza is to die for! I highly recommend it!!“

“Im a dining service director from new Hampshire but the company i worked for has kitchens in CT drove Monday for a 2 day trip Tuesday call my gf at home ask her do you want pizza she said sure.
So I call order 2 large pie cheese 1 medium pie pepperoni.
My order got confused and I got all pepperoni and the chef told me im sorry made a mistake I will make you a cheese free of charge and I said no need too.
A good chef admit mistake and take care of a costumer but I will say this was the best pizza that I had in my life omg I was driving 95 eating yum pie.
Got home gf N grandkids were swimming in the pool waiting they loved the pizza and they said can we go and get more.
I just want to say ty for making my family afternoon great and ty for a great pie of pizza God bless your business.“

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

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