12 Best Mexican Restaurants near New Haven

“I just had an amazing lunch at Carter’s Cantina. The staff were super friendly, the food was delicious and they even had chicken tenders for my little one. It was a great dining experience with a family vibe. We will definitely be back!“

“Once again, excellent food and service! Our server Heidi was top notch...what a crew today, Carly, Lindsay, Pia, Jen and Kenzie. Kevin the owner and Paul the manager both made it a point to stop at our table to make sure we were enjoying our lunches. Loved it so much will prob stop in again on Monday !“

“Was OK. Portions were a bit smaller than a normal Mexican restaurant in proportion. Food was decent. Could have used a bit more seasoning. A Margarita in a small rock glass was $12. They also are one of the restaurants that are starting to charge 3% for using a credit card just like some gas stations. Just hurts the waitstaff and makes the customer experience unpleasant by surprising you with this when they bring the tab. Should be posted out front so that people are aware upfront of this hidden cost.
Our waitress was great! But the surprise at the end with the tab was not cool at all.“

“The food was excellent. Just DoorDashed dinner and we are very happy“

“Catered my twins 1st birthday and the food was delicious. Pork tacos were my favorite.“

“This place is definitely worth the price, the portion sizes were huge and everything was delicious. You can tell the owner cooks with love and pride and really cares about his customers enjoying the food. It was our first time trying the place but we will absolutely return.“

“Been wanting to try the place for a long time actually. Just happened to be nearby with my Mexican food loving daughter one night, so we have it a shot. It's set up similar to Qdoba or Chipotle for ordering and paying for your food. Food was great! Nacho chips are exceptional!“

“I come to the Chesterfield location and always receive great service and fresh ingredients. The manager Ashley is always friendly and welcoming and Teresa is so accommodating (I dislike onions). She will avoid them for me because she knows I dislike them. I love it here!!!“

“I avoid other Taco Bell’s just to come to this Taco Bell because the food is always hot and fresh for the most part. The two young gentlemen, working the cash register had a great attitude. The one kid wearing a straw hat made my day. It’s refreshing coming to a fast food place where they are not mad at you just for showing up as a customer.“
