6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Old Lyme

“Had lunch there the past couple of days and let me say the food is amazing. I had the steak fiesta burrito 2 days in a row and it was delicious. They also have a rice pudding that is so good too. Definitely would recommend stopping if you’re in the area. Food came over super fast too!!“

“First time I went here I ordered a beef burrito. It was very large- but loaded with more beans and rice. I got bloated and uncomfortable.This time I went I asked for less beans and more beef - and that I need more protein (I’m pregnant, so baby will thank me). They did exactly that - actually no beans. And it was perfect. The gentleman who had made the burrito had what I believe to be an authentic Spanish accent- the gentlemen on my first experience did not.I’m glad I gave this place a second chance ! On the pricier side, but so is everything now a days ..“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. FB DEFAULTED TO SAYING I RECOMMEND IT. Cocktail was excellent but from there it went downhill. Waiter couldn't answer a basic question about the flavor of Agua Fresca. Also, my drink ran dry and waiter was no where to be found...on a slow night. Worst of all, however, was that the food was lacking. We ordered a chips and salsa flight. If we added guacamole, it's an extra $4...highway robbery. Underneath the top layer of chips was a basket filled with crushed chips! Unacceptable! The carne asada burrito was drenched on the inside making it impossible to gage the quality of the carne asada. Burritos should not be wet on the inside. Also, there was no additional hot sauce. The amount of cheese was tiny...no flavor. I wanted to like this place, but as someone who is well acquainted with authentic Mexican fare, this restaurant falls short. The good reviews are written by people that have never had the real deal. Once you have, you'll realize that most Mexican on the East Coast is a pale imitation of the real thing.“

“The Mexican food here is Top quality and the best prices I've ever seen for gourmet Taco places in all of Connecticut, it's cheaper and better than Moe's and all the others out there, this place is spot on with the freshest ingredients and if you call in its done by the time you there and you will be happy with the total price $4 a Fat Taco $ 8 for Monster burritos etc. Gotta get down here people“

“Absolutely loved the food! Helped organize my 21st birthday party and made my cake. Absolutely was amazed with the decorations, and the set up. They were all very attentive, the server Milton, kathy & Josh the bartender very kind people. Again the food … AMAZING.“

“If I could give the atmosphere more stars and the server Jenn more stars I would do just that. I was trying to kill time and was hungry and had no clue where I was and this place looked like a hidden treasure and it sure didn’t disappoint. Jenn was super friendly and recommended the fried fish tacos and she was right on the money there. They were delicious and all the flavors completely complimented each other perfectly. The decor inside was so much fun that I couldn’t stop taking pictures. So happy I found this place. Homemade salsa and chips were awesome too!!“
