Sooo delicious! I recommend this spot to everyone I know. They have some of the best tacos in CT!

The food is great and as close as we’re come to the type of Mexican we’d get in California.

First timer, got take-out taking a chance. Very surprised. Carnitas burrito is really good. Compared to Chipotle, there really is no comparison. Chipotle tastes like drugs whereas this also tastes like drugs but primo Mexican drugs, no fancy business more like Mexican street food. Really good work. I think the only real con is it's too oily but again, that's not a bad thing unless you have preexisting health conditions. Beware the orange sauce. It's spicier than you'd expect and I love that. Is there a 4.5? 5 is too much but 4 is too little. Settling on 4 because it could be even better.Edit: I use "drugs" colloquially. If you need specifics, how I use the word drugs is a combination of savory, salty and umami with a little sweet and sour to balance it all out.

I've been here a few times and the food is always very good. Authentic and quality ingredients! Brought a couple first-timers and they agree this is definitely worth a return visit.

This place is literally middle of nowhere and it's a no frills kinda place. We were on our way to Connecticut for a children birthday party so we stopped by here to get a quick bite to eat. The tacos and enchiladas were really tasty but the horchata was way too sweet for my liking. Bathroom was in the kitchen area, which I found a little weird.

This is not a 4.6 star place. There’s always a problem here. Sometimes it’s a small problem, like something was missing from my order and sometimes it’s a huge problem, like completely forgetting my order and never apologizing for making we wait another 30 minutes. Last time I ordered I received someone else’s order entirely. I get the the “reviews” are “good.” Mine isn’t. Go elsewhere.

Food is always great. Stay away from the Mexican seltzer water with lime and salt…all the food there is amazing. People are very friendly.
