Mexican Restaurants in New Haven

“Superb panaderia, far better than any I went to when I lived in Arizona. "La tapatia" means "woman from Guadalajara," and it turns out Guadalajara is renowned as a foodie spot. Rightly so -- this little bakery has a huge variety of huge pastries, reflecting the variety of Mexican baking, including its French influences. For $8.50, I came home with four gigantic pastries, including bigote con crema, broca with chocolate and coconut, and something that looks similar to ricotta pie. This morning they definitely had bisquets, besos, abanicos, a raisin sweetbread, cubiletes, the usual muffins and conchas, and lots more that doesn't stick in my memory but looked promising. Trays aren't labeled, so I just picked whatever looked most intriguing in the moment -- it's all fresh and high quality. (I know from experience that I like every flavor conventionally used for fillings in pan dulce, though.) In true panaderia style. you take a tray and a set of tongs, and you serve yourself. The nice person at the counter wraps your pastries and takes your payment. I'm eyeing Google Maps for a comfortable walking route, so I can justify going here more often.“

“Excellent food! Excellent service!“

“Always great fresh food! Wonderful local family providing a great product and top notch customer service!“

“Amazing Al pastor tacos and carnitas burritos. Carnitas was juicy, rice was well seasoned and pillowy. Al pastor great depth of flavors and juicy. The red hot sauce was bomb Highly recommend this whole in the wall. Beats out a lot of taco trucks at the wharf. Will try the birria tacos next time“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Great food, friendly service.“

“Food was fantastic. It was my first time there and asked for five different tacos of their choosing. Each was better than the last. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Amazing authentic food made by the nicest family! Everything on their menu is so delicious and is made from scratch. So much flavor in every bite and you can tell immediately that everyone in the truck is having a great time!“

“Just had the best Philly steak sandwich ever.. Great food, great owner and sevice.. ENJOY!!“

“This was such a hidden gem!! Their food is always really good and fast. The ONLY negative thing I will say is that.... they had to raise their prices, so it's no longer affordable per se.2 burritos and 2 empanadas for $42 seems a little much, in my opinion. But this is unfortunately how things are now everywhere. Other than that it's a great little place. FIY- it's a grab and go situation not a sit down place.“

“The service was excellent and their food is the best Mexican food and Margaritas in CT! I called to let them know we were running a little late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been any nicer and made sure they saved our table for us... overall fabulous evening!“
