39 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.“

“The experience we had here was great for our first time here it was so good! We enjoyed the food and will return again !!“

“The food was delicious. From the guacamole to the Mole. The guacamole was creamy not salty. The mole had a nice little kick to it. However you can choose your spice level. The rice and beans were delicious. The beans are by far one of the better Mexican refried beans we have eaten. We have been to most of the Mexican restaurants in the area from Stratford to New Haven. The Agua de horchata according to my daughter is one of the best she ever had. We will be back again.“

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

“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“

“Love it here! Great service and delicious food!“

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

“Amazing breakfast and great service.“

“The food was phenomenal, so good that we had to bring our whole family here twice the same week. I had the Chorizo, and Asada burritos which were decently sized, they come with guacamole. The atmosphere was perfect with the tables and chairs being hand painted (I think). Service is another 10/10, they gave us free churros both times, and gave us chips and refried beans as a type of “unlimited side”. They were so kind wishing us happy mother’s days. Overall experience was a 10/10 and I will definitely recommend my other family members here.“

“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!!!“

“Good food, good service and felt safe! Our wait staff, Carina, was extremely accommodating. Sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable of the menu. She is an asset to Puerto Vallarta. We will definitely return fir another delicious meal and warm atmosphere.“

“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“

“The staff was very nice & friendly, our snacks came out right away!! Definitely will be coming back (:“

“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 was next door at the nail salon; and decided to give this place a try. I did not see any vegetarian or seafood options on the menu, so walked over and asked if they could make an enchilada platter with all veggies no meat. At first, the girls at the counter were not sure because they needed to check with the cook. After a bit of back/and forth they accommodated my request. As I was placing my order, the girl asked if I wanted it with salsa verde or roja, and she let me taste both sauces. I went with the salsa verde, top notch fresh tasting. I was a bit skeptical how the food was going to taste because of the confusion when placing the order, but let me tell you the enchilada with the salsa verde rice and beans was DELICIOUS. Served with a side of lettuce, avocado and lime and she offered sour cream and hot sauce and I got both. Hot sauce was also very good! The enchilada, to my surprise had all the veggies, filled with zucchini, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions and ofc peppers. I was hugely impressed and price point at $20, I would say is average for a dinner platter these days, but for a vegetarian dish with no meat I think was a bit on the pricier end. I would have given 5 stars but because of the confusion in trying to place the order and no vegetarian or seafood options listed on their menu giving it a 4 star. Still, I will definitely be going back and hopefully they will expand their menu to add vegetarian options or at least shrimp tacos to their menu would be great!“

“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“

“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!“

“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. 😍“

“Burrito, burrito, burrito!!!“

“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!“

“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..🤣“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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 best authentic taqueria around! All the food is amazing especially the tacos al pastor! Everyone is really nice & welcoming.“

“(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“

“My wife and I are regulars at Hot Tamale. We eat there twice a month. The service is always reliable and fast, whether we eat there or order takeout. The prices are good and the servings generous. The atmosphere is welcoming.“

“Best Mexican food around! 👌🏼“

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

“This was my first time eating Bubbakoos. We had the Birria crunch wrap and Birria quesadillas and I was extremely impressed with the flavor. Not too many places get it right and they were 8/10. Also had BYO hard tacos which I asked for everything on the side for my autistic son. He loved them and the portions were very generous! Salsa was blah (personal preference) Guac was on point and queso was good also! No complaints here.“

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