“Best tacos I've found in New Haven. Hands down. And I've been looking for the past 8 months. Search is over now.To the reviews complaining about greasy tacos - If you don't like juicy, salted meats then go get you some dry as Chipotle.Saudero was so legit. Takes me back to the trucks in my old neighborhood in East Oakland except you can pay with a credit card here and no one is asking for your change.Ask yourself a question - Do you, si, want an authentic experience that takes you on a journey, are you, no, looking for a generic Americanized food product? If your answer to the questions is si, buen provecho!“
“Amazing Al pastor tacos and carnitas burritos. Carnitas was juicy, rice was well seasoned and pillowy. Al pastor great depth of flavors and juicy. The red hot sauce was bomb Highly recommend this whole in the wall. Beats out a lot of taco trucks at the wharf. Will try the birria tacos next time“
“What an incredible taco truck! We came across it while looking for somewhere to stop for lunch whilst driving through the area. They are so friendly and the tacos are amazing! We tried several and they're all delicious, and the salsas they came with are so tasty!“
“It was awesome. Great view and yummy food. I highly recommend everyone to try them out at least once. I will definitely come here again in the near future. Loved the food and music.Parking: There was plenty of free parking when I went. Street parking.“
“I was in Puebla last week and woke up craving a cemita today. I couldn’t believe I found such an amazing one so close - it would have been worth the drive from anywhere. This is by far the best Mexican food I’ve had in CT. The cemitas, tacos árabes and agua de maracuyá were all perfect. I can’t wait to come back often!“
“If you haven’t had a chance to stop at El Taco Dorado, here’s the reminder! Consider grabbing a bite to eat from there the next time you’re hungry and in the downtown area. The food is amazing! El Taco Dorado has DEFINITELY made it’s stamp on the corner of College and Elm street!“
“First time after driving by for a cple years.Got the pollo burrito with everything.First, the flavor was outstanding, you could taste poblano peppers in the sauce, which was a unique substitution from the typical verde sauce ingredients from surrounding taquerias in New Haven county.Also, the chicken, the rice, the beans, all had their own flavor that, when mixed together with each other, married them all for a very satisfying taste.The burrito as a whole was well sized. The chix to rice and beans ratio was fair for the price. I liked the substitution of cabbage instead of lettuce, which I was worried about in the beginning, The burrito was sauced well, but not sloppy or soaking wet. The tortilla held up nicely throughout the entire burrito and didn't tear or fall apart, but it was still tender and soft enough that it was easy to eat.I highly recommend trying El Poblano if you're in the area and in the mood for some Americanized-Mexican food with authentic Mexican flavor.The only thing I will say, which ultimately isn't THAT bad, is the price. It was $11 for the Chix burrito. Steak/shrimp and lengua(I think) was $13. So it's on the higher end when compared to similar spots in the area, but you get a larger portion size, delicious, and slightly unique burrito, served up fast.The woman was very pleasant and you can tell that they take pride in their food and their restaurant.The restaurant was very clean.Parking: Small lot, so if it was busier I would've had to wait for someone else to leave first.“
“Best of pizza I've had in 10 years!! Excellent value, I got a meat lovers Pizza and it was loaded!! Everything cooked to perfection. The crust the meet the cheese everything. I would have given them 10 Stars if I! I gave them five stars for atmosphere because they're so nicen and very clean!“
“Great experience- food was delicious and brought out in a good time after ordering - our waitress was very attentive. A little noisy towards the end of our meal with a larger party coming in. Also appreciated having parking covered by the restaurant as well !“
“Stopped by 1 afternoon for some traditional Mexican and this place did not disappoint. It is a mid size spot in the center of town in Wallingford. When you walk there are about 6 tables with the person taking orders by the register. The place is super casual and the girl working on the front super friendly. We had burritos and tostadas which were very good. The burrito which was what I had was super big and flavorful. Burritos are one of those meals that you can't go wrong with. The tostadas were what you would expect, crunchy with lots of toppings. Definitely a place to stop by while in Wallingford.“
“Opted for a torta at lunch time. The green salsa was super spicy and crazy delicious. The side of guac and chips equally good. Mexicalli stands out since it is the only black truck on Long Wharf. Overall love Food Truck Paradise, reminding me of the taco trucks back in California. Definitely not as cheap, but pretty tasty and a nice break from pizza.“
“So I went to Ikea nade a wrong turn ended up by a line of food trucks. Being hungary I stopped. I was disapponted when I scene 99% of food trucks were Mexican. I am not a huge fan of mexican food so i googled food trucks on dwarf this place had decent reviews. I got Taco de birria it was really good. It was a bit pricey because I got a juice whose flavor turned out to be one I don't like nothing to do with the food truck I just dont like the flavor anywhere. Anyways I wouldnt eat here again because I dont like mexican but if I had to eat on this strip again I would definitely eat here.“
“Every time I come here I'm never disappointed. The happy hour is one of the best happy hours I've been too. The service is impeccable. The shrimp cerviche was really good too, just need more tortilla chips on the side! Helps soak up the delicious sauce it comes with. The street corn (elote) amazing. Awesome place!“
“I have been an avid fan of Vivas for thr last 30yrs. I started going there in college, and I fell in love w the food, the owners, and the ambience. Kathy and Bruce sold the place, and I hadn't gone to check it out until this passed week... still amazing! The new owner commands the helm and demands perfection; he is ready to please. My wife had a fantastic monitor, fresh and delicious ?. We shared churros and I took some empanadas home; both were spot on. The crowd was fun, the place filled... soccer adorned the screens, and pleasant music filled our ears. Nothing has changed with the decor,, and that's a good thing; if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Vivas is a must do if you are in New Haven, CT and looking for a cool place to eat and socialize. 5 stars ?“
