When I have a Mexican food craving, Mexican Connection is my go-to. My husband and I sat at the bar and were just in time for happy hour. With our first round of margs (house margaritas only $5 each), we enjoyed the chips and salsa. They offer two salsas: hot and mild. I could eat the hot salsa by the bucket-full. Tacos were on happy hour special for $3 each. They offer hard or soft with a variety of fillers: veggie, chorizo, chicken, pork, or beef. I ordered two soft chicken tacos, while my husband ordered three hard chicken tacos and damn they were good! The bartenders were top notch - very nice, attentive, and prompt. From conversation at the bar, it seems they get a lot of regulars. One couple comes all the way from Pittsfield Massachusetts each week to have dinner! Our bill was dirt cheap - $45 dollars for dinner and two rounds of drinks. On Mondays they have an all-night happy hour. We will be back for that!

This is a good local Mexican ‘local’ just a short walk down from the Race Track. We stopped in the other night and just grabbed a seat at the bar. The drinks were good and the service was as well. We probably didn’t order the right things on the menu but would be willing to head back and give it another try. If you’re gonna try it out, just be aware that it’s not open every night. I think it is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I am wondering if the opening nights change during racing season when the races are running Wed-Sun.

I've personally been coming here for 25 years. Always a good meal and usually enough for leftovers too. Not hard to find but hard to leave!

I'll start with the pluses: excellent red sangria and very good service, yummy salsa. But the food- not so good: steak was fatty and mediocre tasting, guac was bland, so we're the chips; the Mexican lasagna didn't taste good at all. So for the future, I would go back for the bar and their delicious sangria.

Have been here several times! It’s the best Mexican food around and the service is always friendly and fast.

It is just a bit crowded.Tiny bathroom out by the front of the bar.Tiny oh well but location location.Definitely a good spot to go though, my very large family and I.Parking: Large parking area, handicap spaces included.Wheelchair accessibility: I do believe there is a ramp but the front door is fairly level just door jambs to traverse.
