“Friendly staff food is wonderful !!“

“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!“

“We were in CT from SC for a wedding! We went in on Saturday to watch South Carolina Gamecocks football game. The manager and Kasha were awesome! The manager put the game on two of the big TVs in the bar area so that all of us from SC could watch. They were so attentive kind and supportive of the Gamecocks even though we lost. The manager don’t know his name sorry, and Kasha were amazingly kind! We went back Sunday morning for brunch. Food and service were spot on!!! I don’t know that I’ll ever make back to Connecticut, but I highly recommend going to red heat Tavern if you are in that area! Come to SC Red Heat Tavern!!! Thank again y’all for making us feel welcome!! ♥️♥️June and Jim Charleston, SC!“

“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!!“

“They have a good menu with some comfort food options like chicken sandwiches and tots. On the pricey side given what you're getting and it'll definitely take a while to get on a weekend because of the crowd. Staff seems burnt out for sure and we've had some missing/wrong food. Either way I'll be going back when I'm at the brewery...“

“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.“

“There are car cruise events happening throughout the week throughout the warmer months. Cruisers hang out Sunday mornings for Cars & Coffee events and then on Monday nights are car themed nights. There's also open Cruise Night events on Thursday nights when every car is welcome to show up.“

“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 could ever take a picture of the food because I eat it so fast cuz it's so good. Never disappoints every time I'm here. The staff are very friendly, the place is very clean. Get the beat bowl half pulled pork and half brisket and thank me later.“

“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“

“Cookies are always good here, albeit a little pricey. Unfortunately, they can't GIVE you a receipt...it has to be texted or emailed, which is rather inconvenient. But at least they didn't add a tip onto my credit card, like they did at the Crumbl Cookie location in New York City (Chelsea) yesterday! And I had to remind him that I paid for
a Chocolate Milk with my order, too, which he forgot.“

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

“My husband and I love this place. It is a one person operation, not a place to go if your in a hurry. The food is great. The proprietor and the customers are friendly. You get a real homecooked breakfast. Great lunches and phenominol corned beef and cabbage in March.“

“Just went to this brewery yesterday and if I had enough time I would have stayed all day. The space is super cool and filled with nostalgia. The owner was super welcoming and knowledgeable and has a true passion for what he does. To top it all off, they are dog friendly and we were able to chill with our dogs while drinking delicious beer. Will definitely come back again!“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“This was my first time trying their cuisine and I was not disappointed. I had the Parotta with curry chicken and it was so flavorful. The Parotta was soft, warm and the curry chicken had the right balance of spice and flavor, perfect combination of the too. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with selecting from the menu. I will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Sunberry is the go-to spot for food, drinks, and karaoke! Their food is Always so fresh & good and the drinks are delicious. Good vibes at night with karaoke and music. If you want to go somewhere for good food with friends or alone, sunberry is great.

The staff and owner are really what makes this place great. The most kind people around.

I'm sad I moved from the area and hope to go back to Hartford just to visit sunberry.“

“so fresh and delicious. really nice staff.“

“Their Sandwiches and side orders are plentiful and fairly priced. The service is fast and friendly.“

“Great food and cocktails with excellent service 😍🤗“

“My boyfriend & I recently visited WINGSPOT and we left thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Honey BBQ & Dry Rub wings with a side of Mexican Street Corn, and everything hit the spot: the wings were perfectly crispy with so much flavor. The Mexican Street Corn was delicious too, though it leaned a little heavy on the mayo for my personal taste.. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Overall, a fantastic spot for wings done right, and we'll definitely be back!“

“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❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 😊“

“Elizabeth's is our favorite restaurant. The food is always good, fresh and large portions. have tried many different entrees and they are always delicious. Especially love their veal parmigiana and the stuffed soule!“

“Vito's Restaurant is a place that I visit quite frequently and the food and service are always outstanding.

“Nice little deli/cafe, pretty decent food, good selection, and friendly staff. Even when it's busy they do a great job of getting your order as quick as possible. Great tasting home made soups and plenty of pastries, cookies, and donuts for those who have a sweet tooth to satisfy. Another thing I like is they always have fresh coffee available here too. Thumbs up to Day Hill Deli.“

“Cozy atmostphere with nice outdoor seating. I really enjoy the way they cook eggs , always perfect balance in their sandwhiches. The coffee was really tasty. Wish there was more places like this around Hartford support local and there will be! ✌️“

“I’ve been going to 2nd Bridge for a few years now and it’s my favorite spot in central CT by far. Not only are the beers delicious, but it’s truly a “Cheers” environment where everyone not only knows your name but also every story you’ve shared before. I highly recommend this pub to anyone who wants a cozy spot that has excellent libations and the finest array of football around.“

“RainJena is hands down my favorite coffee and macaroons destination. They never disappoint with service, quality of food, friendliness, and overall atmosphere! A must visit for any dessert or coffee lover!“
