“This restaurant is lmost hidden in a small strip mall, just a quarter mile from the Orange West Haven line, this family run, friendly Taqueria is definitely a hidden gem. As you walk inside the vibrant colors and ambience surround you with hand painted Mexican scenes on the tables, carved colorful chairs and warmth from the friendly staff. There are only about 12 or so tables. The food servings are generous and full of fresh vegetables, cheese and delicious well cooked meat. It is a great place for a relaxed meal or take-out. Support this easily accessible Post Road family business and enjoy!!“

“Los mejores tacos en el Long Wharf. Siempre rico todo.“

“Excelentes y sobretodo......higiene, me encantan :-D porque así no cocino jejeje“

“Pretty good tacos, I had steak and cheese and carnitas, my friends got ground beef and queso and my boyfriend got the longanizas taco combo. This steak and cheese one is very American flavor profile, carnitas is very traditional Mexican flavor profile and the longaniza was not that spicy. The chips are really good, super thin, crispy and a little bit greasy but really good. The salsas are good, the queso was good but not spicy at all. They have Mexican sodas, Coca-Cola and jaritos. The restaurant is really small, there were two other groups of two in there and we could all hear each other's conversations. It's very tiny, but the staff is nice and the tacos are good.

Vegetarian options: There's decent vegetarian options, and you can ask them to modify most things. We get things modified there all the time. Most of the time it's done correctly, but if you stress that you have an allergy or that you're vegetarian they will make an effort.

Dietary restrictions: My boyfriend has an onion allergy and we have ordered from there bunch of times, most of the time it's correct and when I have had to ask them to remake something because there was onion in his dish, it was not a problem.

Parking: There's a small handful of spots in a free parking lot, you can also park on the street, but it's a little ways down and you'd have to walk because the side street has a family dollar right next door so you have to park on the other side of that if there's no spots in that tiny lot.“

“We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday here. The food and staff were fabulous!! Highly recommend Brady's 🥳“

“Exceeded my expectations! I ordered through door dash and was so happy with the quality considering it was delivery. The salsa tasted so fresh and the chips are definitely homemade. They tasted like they'd just come out the fryer after 30 sec in the microwave. For my entree I got the Chicken Burrito which was amazing. It had so much flavor and was huge. Half of it is plenty to fill even the biggest appetite. I will definitely order from here again!“

“Reliably excellent. Loved the choices of margaritas, all delicious. Food was top notch, with friendly, attentive service to boot. Since opening, La Palapa has provided a consistent and dependable culinary experience which keeps us coming back. Thanks for the memories.“

“This place is great, I’ve been close to 10 times now and have never been disappointed! My favorites so far are the land and sea quesadilla and the quesa birria. The tres leches is delicious as well.
The bad reviews they have are quite shocking to me because this is one of the tastiest and consistent places I’ve been to. I will continue to be a happy customer here!“

“The food is amazing the tortas and cemitas were the best things I ever tried in my whole life the family enjoyed the food very well the place looks nice and recommend from me to everyone the workers are very nice and respectful to all the customers ❤️❤️“

“I always love to order from fresh taco but every time I order the guacamole it’s either expired or quite brown and this one was by far the worst I don’t want to stop ordering from your restaurant but please fix your guacamole because it’s a necessity with nachos“

“It's were the KINGS of the streets,chill with the God's of the GAME“

“Very good food. No wine. They just opened so I'm sure things will sort out soon. Friendly, kind waitress. They will make separate checks.

Dietary restrictions: Limited gf options

Parking: Might be difficult but I was lucky and found a spot very close by.“

“Son los más parecidos a los mexicanos riquísimos los recomiendo ampliamente no se arrepentirán“

“I asked Juan to provide his food cart for the Yale student record label’s Spring Concert. Juan was very friendly and helpful and dedicated to making my outdoor event work, even in the rain! He made wonderful food and kept the guests at our concert fed and happy. Could not be more satisfied with Taquería Juanchos Guacamoles and the wonderful people who run it.“

“Best Mexican food around! 👌🏼“

“So we stopped there cause my friend was buying a car from someone and that's the parking lot they choose to meet. I've never even been to that part of CT before. I had the chicken quesadilla, OMG the chicken was seasoned and cooked amazingly. The tortilla was toasted perfectly (and it was huge) great overall meal. My friend had a couple different tacos which he said were amazing. Even our waiter was friendly, willing to give his preferences, he would check on us to make sure we were good. Haven't had good experiences for awhile now so this was a nice change. Hopefully I'll have a reason to visit that part of CT so I can stop there again. Definitely worth the time to check out.“
