“and yet another great place to eat in Norwalk, Connecticut ... Don Carmelo's Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar excellent restaurant... beautiful decor... outstanding service... and the food perfection 👌... and the margaritas are to die for had 2. 1 Passion Fruit and the 2nd coconut/ pineapple“

“My husband and I eat from there often, we have been served by the owner who’s so nice and provides amazing service. But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

“Wonderful menu and staff!“

“This place is SO freaking good, I went two days in a row. The people are pretty nice, very quick serving too, they don't waste time! The quesabirria is to die for, along with the green sauce that comes with it! If I were to change one thing, It would be to make this place a real building and restaurant, because the truck is so overlooked! It is really a hidden gem“

“One of my new favorite restaurants! Discovered this place by accident when a delivery guy got stuck at my house in a snowstorm en route to another customer. Lol. We got to keep the meal intended for someone else, and it was so good! Really tasty and great portions. Dined in the restaurant today and service was excellent. Will definitely be back (and not by accident)!“

“Hoy tube la oportunidad de ir a champurrada Restaurant Bakery. Muy deliciosa la comida y el pan fresco y muy bueno. El servicio muy bueno y muy amables. Lo recomiendo al 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was craving a burrito. Not a chipotle burrito where they skimp on the ingredients, But a big voluptuous, tasty Burrito. Look no further. Despite the location being empty, it provided me the opportunity to witness manager and the staff who were training A new hire at the time provide exceptional service. Yeah, it’s just a chain restaurant, but the quality of the food and service was Exceptional. I Ordered the surf and turf burrito with white rice, black beans, guacamole, sour cream, and spicy salsa. I got this order to go in. The checkout process was straight Forward. The burrito with chips and queso as well as a large fountain drink came to about $27 with a 15% tip. Totally worth it. I had to double fist this thing because it was so big and delicious. I don’t live in Norwalk, but that was the closest location and most convenient at the time. Making it a meal- I added chips and spicy queso and a large soda. The chips were not stale and slightly salted, which vibed well with the queso. The Diablo queso wasn’t as spicy as advertised, but that’s OK. It served its purpose in between gigantic bites of the burrito. I was on my way home to Danbury and that Damn burrito was still warm after a 40 minute drive in traffic. Admittedly, The portion of meat, i.e. steak and shrimp could be a little more generous, but the overall quality and flavor of the combination I ordered was “peak.” I fully anticipate going back to this location to order the same thing.
Hopefully, the Qdoba executives of the world see this and acknowledge what a complementary review this is for this location and the staff that helped me there. Not trying to pull any favors, but a random acknowledgment of their promising success would be powerful. I will see you soon.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Bubbakoo's the other day, thanks to the outstanding service from Jose and Celina. They were both incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was delicious, will definitely visit again, Highly recommend!“

“BEST CHICKEN QUESADILLA IN NORWALK! I’ve been eating here for years. Perfect portions, enough to share, and fair pricing. Food and price better than most restaurants. It is a good truck and they provide some seating during the warmer seasons.“

“Delicious. Idk what else to say.“

“Tacos were delish. It’s always the small little restaurants that make it so special and hits home right to the heart.“

“I’ve ordered from Guac Time through Uber Eats a few times now, and it has consistently been a great experience. If you’re looking for high-quality Mexican food that actually delivers well, this is a top-tier choice.

The Highlights:

Honey Chipotle Chicken: This is the absolute star of the menu. The balance of sweet and smoky heat is incredible—easily one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had from a Mexican grill.

Chicken Tenders: Honestly, surprisingly good for a Mexican spot! They are juicy, well-breaded, and paired with their signature sauces, they make for a perfect side or meal on their own.

The Sauces: Don't skip these. They add so much flavor to everything and really elevate the meal.

Value & Delivery:
While it averages around $20–$30 per person when ordering delivery, the portions are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth in terms of quantity and ingredient quality. The food always arrives fresh and holds its texture well during transport.

Final Verdict:
A reliable, flavorful, and satisfying option for a casual meal at home. Highly recommend the honey chipotle chicken if it’s your first time ordering!“

“Our favorite restaurant, we go there every week or so!“

“The chicken tacos are awesome. My family came and we tried each other’s food and everything was serious amazing I was shocked. The salsa is the best wow. This was a nice small corner in the wall in my opinion but very fancy place for sure!“

“Excelente comida. Los sopes delicioso. 😋. Sobre todo. Atencion muy buena.“

“Already reviewed Los Portales but this came up again so giving you guys another review. I love their food! Great food and service and the owner is a great guy! Definitely worth the trip to SONO for great Mexican food!Plus their newly added bar next door should be open now!!!“

“Galicias Deli is a small little restaurant on a busy street. It's so small you might miss it as you pass by. But it is amazing! The food is homemade and delicious. The Pozole is amazing and loaded with meat. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. The atmosphere is very laid back, there are 5 tables total. You go up to the counter see what their daily specials are or pick from the menu. The ladies behind the counter are friendly. I've been back to Galicias 5 times because it is just that good.

Parking: There's parking in the back of the restaurant.“
