“Pizza's great, classic thin slice with a crunchy crust and melty cheese. Great to snack on while I waited for my birria to come out. Also while waiting (maybe 15 minutes from order to door) I saw the birria ramen come out to another party and knew I'd have to come back to try it.“

We got the chicken tinga quesadilla and shrimp tacos and both were so fresh and tasty. We also ordered the mango-pineapple drink and it's a MUST get.

“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“

“Friends, this place is incredible, the food and the service is excellent. I can assure you that the food here is much better than Chipotle. I am delighted to find a restaurant with a very nice style and different from the traditional Mexican restaurants. My wife and I ordered three different dishes a bowl with rice, black beans, pico de gallo, grilled vegetables, lettuce, jalapeños, grilled chicken and a spectacular green sauce accompanied by chips. My wife ordered some vegetarian tacos and a vegetarian quesadilla, which I highly recommend because they have a great variety of vegetables here. The black beans were flavorful, the Mexican rice very authentic, the salsa, the vegetables everything is of superior quality. Their commitment to our environment was something that stood out really well and is commendable. Their foundation drinks are pure cane sugar drinks and absolutely delicious. The chips are fresh and house made. I love their food quality and freshness. Totally worth trying.“

“The mixed nachos have literally been the best Nachos I've ever had in my life... I've had them at least 20 times and they are always amazing“

“Wonderful menu and staff!“

“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 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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)!“

“Got the gringo taco, bros taco, and veggie taco with a coke for $16. They were fantastic with the gringo taco being my favorite. It was cold outside so i went back to my car and he actually walked halfway to the parking lot to hand me my food so that was cool of him.“

“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.“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“Great place. Authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and I’ve got to say it never disappoints. The food is seriously amazing – every dish is packed with flavor and just hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is so chill and inviting, it feels like you’re catching up with friends even if you’re just there solo. Honestly, whenever I’m craving good food, this is the one place I know I can always count on.“

“Delicious. Idk what else to say.“

“Very authentic and very good. Great staff, best margaritas I’ve had. Food is incredible. Ambiance is also beautiful! I’ve been coming for a very long time“

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

“Great food, guacamole and tasty margaritas! Very friendly staff!!!“

“Without a doubt the best Mexican food in the area and one of our favorite spots in town. Everything on the menu is good but highly recommend going with whatever the specials of the night are. Cocktails are also excellent (especially the margaritas).“

“Thank you to Joey, Shamar, Lucas, and the Taco Loco team for helping us celebrate EMS week with our regional EMS providers! We appreciated your professional service, delicious food, and positive energy.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
