Mexican Restaurants near Wethersfield

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on a recent Thursday evening. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and served very well by the team at No Mames. Our drinks, appetizers, tacos, and desserts were all outstanding. We will return with friends!“

“I was trying to get home from a road trip and was tired of eating fast food. I needed a vegetable. But also, didn’t want to actually stop and eat food or find a grocery store. The people working here were ever so helpful and accommodating to my weird requests and enjoyable to talk to! The guy making the food even got me fresh lettuce when I explained I basically just wanted a bowl of lettuce with a side of chicken. The cashier wanted to make sure I didn’t get overcharged for my non-salad. Was the food better than any other Chipotle? No. It was not. But the service was top notch.“

“Good and customer service is very very good“

“This place is amazing in all regards, it is our go-to dining out spot of choice. As others have noted, the birria is absolutely incredible. The detail that brings my family in consistently is that it is a standard meat you can order any of their many offerings with. Kudos for that idea ! Note: They are no longer at 50 Rapallo avenue. They moved right around the corner to a more visible location that will get more foot traffic passing by, I hope it works out well for them. I believe the attached map has the new location correctly shown, the posted address has not been updated. As of mid April 2026, they were closed to renovate the new location, I was told their projected re-opening was going to be in early - mid May. Good idea to call first. If the owners or any customers have an update on that, it would be great to post. My daughter and I are suffering from La Casa Mania birria withdrawals and need a fix soon !“

“Delicious food and drinks! Will be back again!“

“Fun great food atmosphere is fun if you get a chance sit outside in the summertime with the lights on really fun and the drinks are absolutely delicious. Always friendly staff.!!“

“Very friendly service and great food!“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time coming here, we were a little disappointed that the items both my husband and I wanted to order were unavailable at the time however what we did end up getting was very delicious. I got the birria tacos which I've had from many other places and these were the best ones by far. The beef brisket was perfectly tender, the flavor of the birria and consumé was amazing. My husband ended up getting the pastor burrito and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We love a good place to get some tacos/burritos and this was some quality authentic Mexican food. We will definitely be coming here again.“

“Came to Baja’s in New Bedford on its first day open. We’ve been so excited for a local Baja’s. Customer service was amazing, so friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. My family can’t wait to return 😃.“

“I can't say what I like best, because it is all delicious. I usually get the enchiladas huertenas because I can't decide if the mole, red sauce, or green sauce is better; they are all equally wonderful. So are their tender, flavorful tamales. even their chips & salsa are a cut above. Pickup during the pandemic is fast and painless, which we appreciate.“

“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 whole experience was great the food /drinks , our server was absolutely amazing“

“The only Mexican restaurant I like in CT, and I've tried a few. They serve authentic, delicious Mexican food.“

“Everyone needs to try the Skillet Burrito ASAP! It’s new on the menu, all I needed to see in the description was SMOTHERED IN QUESO lol it was the most delicious burrito I have ever eaten. I will be ordering it every time I go there now. I hope enough people review it so they keep it on the menu! You should try it, you will not be disappointed!“

“Amazing food great service very reasonable and the jalapeño tequila avocado margarita is the best!“

“I wanted Pho and my mom wanted a burrito bowl. Well she got what she wanted and I got something to never expected, a Phorrito! Pho ingredients in a burrito. And it was pretty amazing!“

“You need to try french fries at Baja's restaurant. Very good taste and crispy.“

“I stopped in for Lunch and was greeted by a smiling staff and family. Huge restaurant. I was immediately served chips & salsa, the salsa was served in a nice mini craft which was a nice touch but unnecessary. The chips were thick and i was told, after asking, that they were made in house which i doubt. I ordered a 2 product meal called a Tijuana. I got a pork enchilada and a ground beef tostada. The pork seemed slightly burnt and overly seasoned, the tostada was fresh and crispy, unlike many other mexican restaurants of this ilk, and the rice and beans were staus quo. The plate was extremely hot which always makes me think pre-made and microwaved. Overall I enjoyed my meal and time here but it wasn't anything much different than most of the non-independant mexican restaurants I've been to.“

“To all our loyal customers and new customers this month February 2026 with new administration we will try to offer a better service with the same or better flavor and the best attention come and try some new dishes thank you all for preferring cisco's Restaurant“

“Love it. Super attentive staff without being annoying. Great guacamole and salsa. Blackened haddock with pineapple and grilled vegetables was excellent.“

“If you’re looking for Mexican food on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, you have choices. If you want to sip margaritas out of a fish bowl and guacamole made table side then Puerto Vallarta and Azteca might be for you. If you want fast food from chain restaurants then there’s Chipotle and Moe’s. But if you’re looking for the best authentic Mexican fare the Berlin Turnpike has to offer, look no further the Salsa 4 Taqueria! It’s a hole in wall that you would drive by if you weren’t looking for it. I had beef empanadas, a trio of tacos, el pastor, pork belly, and deep fried shrimp. I’ve never been to Mexico but I imagine this is what I would get on the streets there. Be prepared to wait for your food. Empanadas are made to order and the corn taco shells are pressed and cooked to order with a choice of soft or crunchy! The el pastor was very flavorful, pork belly with a nice char on the outside melts in your mouth, the batter fried shrimp were large and delicious, shredded beef in the empanadas was braised to perfection! Sorry for the lack of pictures, I dug in before it crossed my mind. Yes, it’s that good!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Will be back very soon!“

“Salsa Mexican Grill over Chipotle any day. Affordable, and so darn good. Gabby helped me out with quick recommendations and even got me signed up for rewards. She was super helpful and sweet. Employees like her are why I keep giving this place my business.“

“Hands down the best Mexican food I have had in CT. My husband and I ordered the elote( off the Cobb) and the steak burrito. Everything was was seasoned to perfection and tasted made to order. Bonus: the customer service was superb. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“THE FOOD IS SOOOOO GOOD OMMMMMG“

“Acho ésta gente se guilla! 😍 Esos tacos de Birria saben demasiado de por encima, el conzomé (espero que asi se escriba) tiene tremendo sabor, tienen un menú super amplio, las porciones son pa' que caigas en tu cama cómo sapo de Letrina 🤣🤣🤣 Me encanta su comida, hasta mi nene que tiene autismo y es Picky eater se pasó esas quesadillas de queso como telegrama! Qué Dios los siga bendiciendo mucho! 🥰 Comida APROBADA por ésta servidora Boricua!! 💪🏻😘🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“great food and tasty. I'm trying different type of food and so far yummy“

“Great food and great service. The staff was friendly, patient, and took the time to explain the menu.The food came out fresh and hot, and everything was well seasoned. The passion fruit juice was especially good, not too sweet, just right. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality and portions.I also loved the outdoor seating area. It was nice being able to sit outside, enjoy the weather, and watch TV while eating.“

“Very good authentic tasting Mexican food. Have always had good meals for the whole family.“

“I highly recommend this place!! Staff is great & the food is beyond amazing.“

“Went here with my girlfriend. Food and service was exceptional, best I’ve been at. Thank you Puerto Vallarta.“

“Always a good experience! Employees attentive and always very polite and accommodating. We like the burrito bowls and the taco salads in the tortilla shell. I particularly like the Boylan Sodas they have for their fountain drinks. Awesome restaurant and prices are reasonable for the portions that they give.“

“The food and service here is top notch. The bartender is 🔥 🔥 🔥“

“1. Service was professional tacos were the best i've ever had in twenty years.Would I recommend this restaurant!!!! Absolutely. One hundred percent way better than the new haven trucks way better than any restaurant imitation mexican food!!! If you come here, not only are their prices reasonable, but try everything on the menu. It's phenomenal in the food taste very authentically quality.
5 stars, they deserve, bring your whole
family here. You will be very happy!!!!!!
2. If there was only one recommendation I would give for that extra star is to add more seasoning to your food. In any other case, your food is still the best that i've ever had mexican!!!!“

“I LOVE BIRRIA THE FUEGO“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“

“The best birria in Hartford: tender, juicy, and flavorful meat with a rich, spicy consomé. Generous portions and a standout experience that beats many other spots in the area. Definitely the top birria in Hartford.“

“Excellent food, innovative menu, & very reasonable prices. Also the "Taqueria" setup where you are prompted to build your own. Yeah like Moe's & Chipotle but this place is a million times better & a genuine family owned hard working small busuness.“

“I have been here several times and they never fail to amaze me. 110% AUTHENTIC- you will feel like you’re eating in Reynosa! (Town in Tamaulipas, Mexico- one the Texas border). The food is just amazing really… the service is great. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“I lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and have had many burritos. Theirs hands down was the best. So good I had to buy a burrito bowl for the next day“

“Stopped by after a recommendation from friends. The classic margarita flight was so fun (and yummy!) and the Spicy Mango shrimp and Birria Tacos were to die for. Service was above and beyond. We can’t wait to come back!“
