14 Best Mexican Restaurants near Higganum

“great food. great service. great atmosphere.“

“This place is amazing in all regards, it is our go-to dining out spot of choice. As others have noted, the birria is absolutely incredible. The detail that brings my family in consistently is that it is a standard meat you can order any of their many offerings with. Kudos for that idea ! Note: They are no longer at 50 Rapallo avenue. They moved right around the corner to a more visible location that will get more foot traffic passing by, I hope it works out well for them. I believe the attached map has the new location correctly shown, the posted address has not been updated. As of mid April 2026, they were closed to renovate the new location, I was told their projected re-opening was going to be in early - mid May. Good idea to call first. If the owners or any customers have an update on that, it would be great to post. My daughter and I are suffering from La Casa Mania birria withdrawals and need a fix soon !“

“The best authentic Mexican food in Ct period, the staff that works there is absolutely amazing and so is the food !“

“First time coming here, we were a little disappointed that the items both my husband and I wanted to order were unavailable at the time however what we did end up getting was very delicious. I got the birria tacos which I've had from many other places and these were the best ones by far. The beef brisket was perfectly tender, the flavor of the birria and consumé was amazing. My husband ended up getting the pastor burrito and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We love a good place to get some tacos/burritos and this was some quality authentic Mexican food. We will definitely be coming here again.“

“Every time we’ve gotten food from here we love it! The space itself is clean, it’s a family owned and run restaurant, service is fast and food is consistent. So happy to have it near by! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Margs are the best, food is delicious with rotating specials making it exciting to check out every week. Support this place, the staff is always friendly including the owner! Good kid options as well! We moved to the area 2 years ago and it has become our go to place to go for dinner and late night snacks and margs! They deserve 5 stars and more!“

“Great place to come and eat and have an awesome drink or to have a party ! The staff is very friendly and hard working! Thank you for making my son's birthday so special!“

“Excelente servicio, calidad“

“The Whole Enchilada is a casual spot for fresh, delicious Mexican food. The service is quick and friendly. After ordering at the counter, you can take a seat in the dining room. I found it to be comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything about this place is clean and welcoming.

Now for the food… The fish tacos are perfect! The fish is seasoned and prepared beautifully, the slaw is crisp and fresh, the amount of avocado is generous, and the sauce is so smokey and flavorful. Yum!!! The guacamole is also a hit, and I heard the empanadas are an 8/10. I’d love to come back!“

“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.“
