14 Best Mexican Restaurants near New Haven

“The food tasted like a friend cooked for you. Not a restauranty taste. Fresh ingredients served hot. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive.“

“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 !“

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

“Service went above and beyond to correct a mistake. The staff were so kind and the food is incredibly delicious. I will be returning!!“

“Great place for date night! Walking in, the ambience reminded me of South Beach Miami - contemporary, pop latino music, low lighting... and love the individual tabletop lamps.

Chips are homemade daily and passed our initial criteria of good start! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the steak fajitas and had more than plenty to enjoy for lunch the next day. I tried what was recommended by the owner Chris - the beef Quesabirria. A new twist of a "taco" for me. Tender corn tortillas stuffed generously with juicy short rib beef. I like the extra spice, so a generous side of fresh jalapeno was also supplied at my request. For me, this was an easier dish to eat with a fork & take advantage of a quick dip into the side beef consomme. Excellent suggestion - would order this again.

We wanted to watch college football and there were plenty of large TVs within the bar area... as well as scattered about the dining room.

Nice twist of Mexican theme foods - a bit more exotic choices for the foodies. Will be back!“

“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.“

“Great authentic Mexican food!“

“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!!!“

“Excellent food and excellent service by jimmy.“

“Best queso around! Prices for counter service are pushing prices in a full service restaurant. However, the food quality is above Chipotle or Qudoba. 5 stars on counter service Mexican food, quality and flavor. 4 stars because I have never received a correct online order. Nothing worth causing a huge fuss over, but they always miss a topping or side sauce or something. Just check your order before you leave if you are super picky 🙂“

“good food, great breakfasts, good prices, and always great service. I highly recommend breakfast.“

“Location was a little unkempt. Workers seemed hurried even though the store was slow, but the lunch rush probably just ended. When our order was ready, a worker SCREAMED our order name out super loud to an empty dining room, which was weird. Food was fresh and prepped well, but my wife tacos were ordered to add sour cream, but they "Supreme" them, adding tomatoes as well and she had to pick them off.

Still, this seems to be one of the better taco bells I've been to in a while. They have all gone down hill, and I suspect as this one gets older, it will too. Taco Bells glory days are long behind them - the drive for profit over everything has killed these restaurants and I would bet we will be hearing about store closing soon.“
