“Mexicali is nothing short of a culinary paradise for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk through the door you can feel the love and passion that permeates this place. Everything about Mexicali exudes warmth, authenticity, and a sense of belonging that is often hard to find in the bustling restaurant scene. The Service at Mexicali is where this establishment truly shines. The staff here is a reflection of Roberto himself—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each guest’s experience. What sets them apart is Roberto’s personal touch; he knows many of his patrons by name and works alongside his team in the kitchen, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly. His dedication is evident as he moves through the restaurant, greeting guests with a warm smile and a genuine desire to make sure everyone is thrilled with their meal. It’s incredibly heartwarming to witness a restaurateur so deeply engaged with his customers and staff. Now let’s talk about the food—an unforgettable culinary journey that defies all expectations. From the moment you dive into their menu, you know you’re in for a treat. The guacamole is a must-try; made fresh daily with the ripest avocados, zesty lime, and a hint of cilantro, it’s the perfect start to your meal. Pair it with their house-made tortilla chips, and you're already in paradise. Everything there is honestly so good you can’t go wrong with anything from their menu! They’re food is made with love and you can taste it!“

“I have never had an opportunity to dine in.. however, everytime I come to pick up my take out the staff is always friendly and the resturant is clean ans inviting. The food is always 10/10 no matter the time of day!! All requests are met everytime!!“

“We had my husband’s work holiday party here last night and it went absolutely perfect. There were 20 of us so they set us up in the private back room and it couldn’t have gone better! Drinks were great, appetizers were huge, and all the food came out so quick. Everyone loved it! We will be back soon!“

“Excellent service! Lots of good options for food & beverages. Love their outdoor patio and the updated field bar was so gorgeous for my baby shower !“

“I stopped here while in the area and decided to try a Soup Flight for $12 it came with 3 mini cups of soup ( New England clam chowder, tomato and sausage and kale ) with oyster crackers. Soup was delicious and very filling. Staff were helpful and friendly when trying to figure out what to order. Food tasted very fresh here too. For a drink my partner got Samocha iced latte which came with caramel, mocha, coconut, with coconut cold foam, and coconut Flakes. It was delicious! Definitely would grab coffee and or food when around this coffee shop again. This coffee shop is connected to Conn. valley brewing too. Plenty of parking also.“

“I love coming here! I'm not a beer person sooo when they have it I get the hard cider with the sugar on the rim-yum!!! I would give them a 5x buttt they no longer carry the sliders which was the best! My tween even lived getting them and we miss them terribly!!! I love that they are attached to Birdhouse bc then we also grab a coffee/latte.. the vibe is great“

“Only complaints about this place are there's not a lot of parking spots, and this store tends to run out of things faster than other stores in the area. Multiple times when I've gone on the app to order a particular sandwich or syrup flavor it's out of stock so I go to a different location. My point is, maybe it's popular enough that it should be stocked more? That's a good thing.“

“Bear’s Smokehouse Express in South Windsor earned my loyalty right away. When I mentioned I don’t eat pork, the team went above and beyond—clean cutting board, fresh knife, no hesitation. That level of attentiveness is a game-changer. Now, let’s talk deliverables: the beef brisket was top-tier—tender, flavorful, fully aligned with expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this location. I’ll be back on-site, no doubt, and it’s a prime option to keep on the radar.“

“My family and I went here for my son’s 8th birthday and the food and service was incredible. The atmosphere gives cozy and welcoming. The customer service is worth every dollar I spent.“

“This young man Andrew is amazing, truly Amazing. I was pleased with his food, charm, mannerism and his staff. The food was excellent. He sold over 2500 empanadas today. The eat in diners couldn’t stop praising his dishes. The way he works with his customers is amazing. My hat off to him and his staff. Keep up the good work, Andrew. My family will be back for more. Five Stars“

“The service is incredible, Madison helped me understand all the allergies and recommended some cookies for me to try, while doing all of this it looked like she was alone but didn't rush me and let me take the time I needed. After I ordered and she went to get my cookies it looked like she was doing everything behind the counter at once and it looked fantastic. Will come back again“

“Tired of the never-ending onslaught of hazy IPAs? Looking for a real wide variety of beers that all have great flavor? This is the place. Maibock, Helles Lager, Pils, Czech Amber, plus more. They even have beers on a side pour (iykyk).
Plus the vibe is chill. The owners and bartenders are super friendly (shout out to Dylan who is the best). The building is historic. And they support the local community with events.
Parking is simple with a lot across the street. They have snacks but you can bring your own food (grab some to go from Parkville). Dog friendly. Kids are welcome but this isn't the kind of place you're going to find a family birthday party for a toddler (thank god).
This is definitely the kind of brewery for beer lovers.“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“We went here for the first time, last week. WORTH the trip! We were hopeful because we are big fans of good Indian food. We ordered the samosas and I had malai kofta and roti. I don’t remember what my husband ordered to be honest (I’m a vegetarian and he’s not so I try not to even look at what he’s eating lol) but he definitely tried a little of everything I ordered too. We experienced dinner BLISS here. The food was just incredible. We were SO glad we took a chance on this place (which doesn’t look like much from the outside to be honest) because it is a GEM. The staff were all so kind and helpful and genuine. We can’t wait to go back!!!“

“In town from MD for training- this welcoming place was a great start to my time in CT! Thank you!“

“great selection, friendly service, super clean, informative, everything was delicious“

“We LOVE Dairy Cream so much 🤍“

“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. The cafe is welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It may be a small space, but it delivers big on quality and experience. This place is definitely a hidden gem in East Hartford.“

“Dat went above and beyond to make our first visit to this beautiful establishment amazing! Thank you to him and the rest of this hard working crew!“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.“

“Extensive variety of beers, with local sodas and cocktails available. We especially like the Blackberry Berliner Weiss. Good selection of food with tasty burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Service is efficient and the staff are very accommodating.

One tip: food and drinks are ordered separately. All drinks are from the bar. You can order food by scanning the QR code or the menu or ordering at the food counter.“

“Hundreds of 5 star reviews and it really is true, this place is five stars in everything they do. Quality, price, friendliness you name it. 20 people were lined up to order when I came in and it moved quick. I also saw several regular customers have parts of their order put on the house. Goes to show how great this place is.“

“Honestly a GEM of a restaurant and a place that I will return going as long as they are open. Food was superb and a great menu , it will be tough for parking I think because it is in downtown Hartford. But hell I dont care because the food is that good, so the plan is to order food to eat inside and order to take out for next day, great job guys, coming back soon!!!!“

“Took a trip to DiFiore Ravioli shop in Ellington, CT. They make 15 varieties of homemade Ravioli, sauces, oils, amazing desserts, and more. We picked up the TENDERLOIN & BACON ravioli, and the SHRIMP & ROASTED GARLIC ravioli. They were out of the lobster ravioli, but we picked up the homemade Tiramasu. While there we saw they made gourmet sandwiches, which we ordered and ate outside. They were amazing, so big, we could only eat half (pics taken after we started) Great place, staff were fantastic!! Very nice people. We will definitely return!!!“

“First time visiting here. We had an awesome meal!!!! Service was fantastic, attentive and friendly. It felt like we were family. Lisa made us feel like we were at her house.

Food was fantastic. This time we had pizza. We tried both the deep dish and the thin crust. Both were awesome!!! Coffee and dessert were also great (made in house) and tasted so fresh and homemade!!!

Will be back to try all their other dishes. Thanks for a great night!!!“

“I was there last night with my family I came from Florida a few days ago and went to ct to see my brother that goes there all the time with his wife and I may say it was amazing service and all 🙏🏻😊“

“Tenth Hole Tavern is the best spot for casual dining/takeout this side of Glastonbury. Their food is excellent and the staff really knows how to show the customers a good time. Kendall and Kelly are the nicest and are very accommodating. Not to mention the full bar, expansive beer selection, and wide variety on the menu. Some of my personal favorites include the chicken tenders (with their house made buffalo sauce), the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the oven roasted turkey wrap. Don’t sleep on the brick oven pizza either. Tenth Hole Tavern has earned a special place in my heart❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and cocktails with excellent service 😍🤗“

“We wanted something different so we stopped there, great choice. You can't be in a hurry though, kinda like eating at home with friends, but you don't have to cook. Lol. We liked it. Chatted with a few other regulars and had a great Saturday morning there.“

“Service was great, he answered questions, made a few recommendations, the ice cream was amazing, hard to imagine any better“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

“Very tasty, nice size portions. I called ahead and phone service was nice, didn't feel rushed to order 😋“

“first time there, great selection of beer, great prices and fun atmosphere. Only thing I would suggest is put regular croutons on the Caesar salad and not the pretzel ends, they were very hard and seemed stale.“

“Excellent food & Service!“

“great and helpful staff, food and drink is awesome. they make you feel like family. a real important note is they support and are vested in the community. I drive 14 miles past countless other breweries just to support this business.“

“The Donut Station has the best donuts and coffee, iced or hot, in town! (and the surrounding areas)The breakfast sandwiches are delicious, the staff are all super friendly, the service is quick and efficient and the shop is always clean. I give then a 10 out of 10! Well done Donut Station, well done!“

“Love this restaurant. Dishes are absolutely delicious. Robert and Bella are welcoming and wonderful going above and beyond in making sure you have a delightful dining experience. Both are also so helpful with dish recommendations and our meals came very quickly. They are so friendly and personable and provide exceptional service. We can’t wait to dine there with them, again. Bánh Meee is our new favorite restaurant in Hartford. Thank you! 😊“

“Five stars! From atmosphere to service to food, all exceptional! Deborah is wonderful as is her entire staff. We had the swordfish special and the scallops, so delicious! Stacey is an excellent server, she made helpful recommendations for cocktails and entrees. I highly recommend the restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning!“

“We held a celebration of life event at the brewery. It was the perfect vibe we were looking for, casual, laid back. The staff was professional, kind, and made everything so easy allowing us to relax and enjoy the time with our guests. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“the Family was just as pleasant and my chicken was ready when I walked in the door and you talking about Good 😋😋😋“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“
