“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!“

“This place is okay.
We are from the south and we have yet to find a good Mexican style restaurant here in ct.
The tacos are a 7/10 the tortillas are store bought. The tacos are double tortillas so
It fills you up faster. The meat is fresh. Steak, fajita, Pastor, Tripa, even the fish is grilled here. My husband likes their fish tacos, menudo and the tripa tacos are one of his favorites.
The pinto beans are fresh.
The Rice is not good at all. It tastes like plastic without seasoning. . That’s why the the 4 stars.
When we go as a family we just go for the tacos.
And their menudo. The staff speaks both English and Spanish. They welcome all but the kids need to be seated at all times. The food coming out is HOT.“
