40 Best Mexican Restaurants near Westport

“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.“

“Excellent service and amazing customer service and customer care“

“This is the best Mexican place that I have ever tasted in the US and I have lived here for over 20 years! Felt homemade, very authentic. The exact flavors like being in Mexico. I ordered the Sopes and they were quite big and tasty. We also ordered the tacos de chorizo and they were out of this world. We got to speak and meet the chef and, it felt like visiting family. Everyone was so welcoming. Unfortunately, there was not much place to seat in, but this is now my favorite place to order food for take out.“

“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.“

“Wonderful menu and staff!“

“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.“

“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 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious. Idk what else to say.“

“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.“

“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“

“I always loved the Guac Time location in Norwalk and especially after they were very accommodating on still honoring my order after I was unable to pick it up due to a snowstorm. Their food is always top notch and they give great portion sizes. Prices are also more reasonable than other spots so this is definitely my go to spot! ☺️“

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

“Qdoba is such a treat. The food is fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. My go to is the build your own burrito. You get so many options to fill your burrito and unlike the big chain, they don't charge extra for the guacamole. I highly recommend“

“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!“

“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).“

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

“fresh food.. Delicious food..nice staff..😊❤️“

“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.“

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

“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.“
