    Elite loco
    Denise A.

    We were craving some good quality nachos and checked Yelp for recommendations in the area and thought Breeze Cuisine sounded like the place. We were warmly greeted and given drink and food menus. There were so many great sounding menu items. We started off with a classic margarita and a fruity cocktail. Both were generously sized and very good. The nachos al pastor with pineapple, monster cheese, onions, cilantro, avocado tomitillo sauce, red beans and queso fresco with steak was so good! The nachos did not become soggy and all the ingredients tasted fresh and were well proportioned. We devoured it! The elite loco was a blend of great flavors on fresh and slightly charred corn. Yum! Next time we would order 1 each. Service was attentive and responsive. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and the atmosphere was relaxed. There is also a bar and high top seating available in the bar area. On street parking. We very much enjoyed dining here and would recommend.

    Always a delicious bite, typically come in for taco Tuesday but always a great atmosphere for the bite. Service can be slow on the dining side at times since there weren't many servers when I went.

    My friend and I went out for lunch and we decided to come here. There are many restaurants in the downtown Shelton area that I haven't visited and I want to explore more local restaurants. As we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted and seated. My friend and I were the only people in the restaurant which we didn't mind. I ordered a Mango Margarita and Costillitas that consisted of Pork Ribs over Steamed Yucca, Cilantro, Red Onions, with a Pumpkin Creamy Spread. The Mango Margarita was delicious and had a punch, which I loved. Just the way a Margarita should be. The Costillitas we're good but the meat was dry and the Yucca were lukewarm. The Red Onions were delicious, pickled, and full of flavor. The Pumpkin Creamy Spread was very creamy and delicious and since the meat was dry, it was perfect to dip the meat into the sauce. My friend ordered French toast and I had a couple of bites. The French toast was buttery, had the perfect texture, consistency, and buttered edges. The customer service was great and are waitress were very pleasant. The three stars is not for the customer service but rather the food. The food was a three star and the customer service was four star. I will definitely come back to try other options off the menu.

    Cute little hole in wall restaurant in down town Shelton. Parking is street parking or there is a lot up The street that offers free parking. The restaurant itself with a bit chilly as the doors seemed to be letting in cold air. The staff was very kind and welcoming but very busy. We had reservations. The drinks we had from the bar were very good full of flavor and didn't cheap on the pour. The appetizers of guacamole was super fresh with homemade chips, the calamari was a bit chewy and had an odd yellow sauce on top. The fried plantain with shredded chicken was very good but small Portion. My friends and I shared all the appetizers and barely had room for the awesome dinner. The steak plate I had was full of flavor and the portion was very large it include steak, eggs, beans rice and sausage. They do take credit card and we will definitely be back!

    Breeze Cuisine was a gem we stumbled upon when we wrapped up the Legends of Fear trail in Shelton. We got there on a Friday around 8:30pm. There restaurant wasn't too busy but there was a good amount of patrons seated. There are two sections, by the bar with the high tops or the dining area, and we chose the dining area. Our waiter came over with a few menus and cups of water for us. I asked him how the Chillo (fried fish) was and he said it was really good so I opted for that, with white rice and sweet plantains. For my drink, I chose the white sangria. The food was prepared in about 15-20 minutes and was worth the wait. It tasted so good and was just the right amount. I now see why Breeze has nothing but 5 stars and it's because it's a 5 star experience. The food was great, staff was polite and super friendly and the ambience was so chill. Can't wait to go back.

    I went to Breeze yesterday. I ordered chicken and beef empanadas, tostones and white rice. The food was delicious. All the staff are very friendly and the waiters and waitresses are very attentive. I will definitely go again.

    The food is incredibly fresh and the sazón is perfect, truly reminding me of Puerto Rico. Because in Puerto Rico they cook everything fresh, every dish here is cooked to order, so while it may take some time, it's because they are preparing everything with care and attention. It's one of the best restaurants in CT and well worth the wait for such authentic and delicious food!

    Happy hour from 3-6.

    What a gem I lucked into tonight. An adorable Latin fusion restaurant with top notch drinks and an assortment of tapas that were creative, satisfying and didn't break the bank. The guacamole was outstanding, chunky style with nice finishing of cilantro and lime. The tostones were fried to perfection with a good amount of salt and a nice sauce to accompany them. Crispy with tender insides. The Costillitas were crispy pork ribs with yucca, red onions and spices over guacamole were seasoned really nicely. My favorite was the Nachos Al Pastor . Nachos piled high with beans, cheese, guacamole, pernil pork that was super tender and seasoned beautifully and pineapple. Yes, pineapple. It added a real lift to the dish. I def recommend this. The Quintalitos Valentin were fried dough pockets stuffed with shrimp and crab. An order could have been my whole meal. The soup of the day was a seafood soup that knocked our socks off. The margaritas were spot on, and there's a nice selection of wines by the glass. The vodka tonic was a nice pour for a happy hour drink. The place was clean and classy, nice clean ladies room, and a cute outside patio. The service was fast and friendly, we never waited for anything. I highly recommend this place. I will be back. Fresh, delicious and unique is what I'm always looking for, and I've found it here, even though I'm from NY and it is in Shelton CT, I'll be back. Just coming back from a few days in Newport, this is the best food I've had, and I paid a lot more for food in Newport. Def worth a trip.Arepa Ropa Vieja

    Breee Cuisine impresses with its vibrant, modern decor and lively bar atmosphere. The food was delicious across the board, and the drinks were excellent. The yellow sauce, in particular, was outstanding--an absolute must-try!

    What a wonderful experience we had at this gem of a place. The restaurant has Two dining areas, bar area with bar seating and high tops an a regular dining room. We chose the high tops. Along with the Latin fusion cuisine on the menu they have an excellent playlist of Spanish songs which keep you entertained as you dine. The service was quick and pleasant. We decided we wanted to try several of their tapas so we went with the meat platter and the tostada de pescado. In addition we also had an order of their mixed vegetables. The tapas were excellent, in most places you figure the tapas (small plates) are indeed small plates but the portions here were excellent; enough to share among two. The meat platter had fried crispy pork chunks, chorizo and strips of beef. The meat was perfectly seasoned and extremely tasty. The tostada de pescado (fish toast) was delicious. It had a generous portion of salmon with avocado and other delightful tasting things which was delicious. The mixed vegetables were perfectly crisp and tasted good. To finish off our night we had the flan which was really good. I think we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Give these folks a try, you definitely will enjoy.

    Seafood pasta

    This restaurant is fantastic. The wait time was minimum. The hospitality was awesome. The constant making sure that everyone at the table was fine. The food was fantastic seafood was to die for; melted in your mouth fresh seafood. The steak was cooked to perfection. The ingredients fantastic as it had delicious flavors will be going again with my friends.

    The food from this place is simply put, delicious. I've tried a couple of plates so far and have returned for the lomo saltado! The food is cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. Though a tad expensive, it's worth it! Highly recommended

    Fried shrimp with amazing tartar sauce

    What a explosion of flavors that Breeze brings to your plate. Delicious displays of food & decor. So out in Shelton CT headed out for some delicious Latin food. Started off with crispy fried plantains with mayo ketchup. Then long came these colossal fried shrimp with homemade tartar sauce. Oh my I could of ate it all. Then came the main attractions. Heavenly fried whole snapper. That snapped with with ever tender bite. Paired with a delicious house salad and some fried plantains. To the bouty of meat that came on the Badeja Paisa. Tasty grilled steak to fried pork & some juicy chorizo. This plate was the winner oh I hated when it was all gone. I Breezed through town of I will be back, Breeze to try some more of you delicious Latin fusion options.

    Costa Peru - Calamares Fritos

    Costa Peru has been bookmarked in my Yelp list for a while, and on my birthday, my mom asked where…read moreI wanted to go for dinner. Milford's restaurant week was happening, and Costa Peru was on my list, so I decided to go there. My family ordered seafood, while I went with the Peruvian Chicken Wings topped with Peruvian Barbecue sauce, Ceviche Chicken Wings, and Lomo Salado. I was particularly curious about the Ceviche wings because I'd never heard of them before. The ceviche sauce is inspired by Aji Limo Ceviche, a lively Peruvian dish featuring fresh, raw white fish like sea bass or flounder "cooked" in lime juice, seasoned with citrusy, spicy Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. It's usually served with sweet potato, corn, and leche de tigre (tiger's milk), offering a tart, spicy, and refreshing flavor. The Ceviche wings were fantastic. They had a bright citrus kick, and I could taste all the distinct flavors, including the spices and chilies. They really hit the spot. The barbecue wings were just as enjoyable, with a sweet yet tangy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken. The Lomo Salado was also a hit; the rice was fluffy and full of flavor, and the tender Lomo meat practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered the flan. It was my first time trying it, and I was curious about the taste. Honestly, I didn't care much for the texture, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My son picked the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which was pretty good. It's not something I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.

I loved this place, their food was fantastic and the quality was super consistent; an excellent spot to get together with friends or a date. So much attention to detail was paid, house made dressing, salsa, all ingredients were super fresh, the meats were always cooked excellently, and the staff was friendly. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a while but at some point in the last few years the Little Columbian restaurant became My little Columbian restaurant. My friends and I went there for dinner at the end of October, there was one couple that was leaving the restaurant but we were the only ones there when we first walked in. The vibe of the restaurant has changed because they changed how they decorated the interior of the restaurant. I prefer their older vibe but no big deal. Our waitress was nice and very attentive all night and the staff in general was quite friendly. Here's my issue, the food quality is not as good as it was in the past. And if they are going to charge along the same lines as what they have, always been on the pricier side, then the quality should still be at the same level. There were a bunch of little things that added up. To start, the salad I ordered didn't have the same quality of greens (I think they used a spring mix in the past), there were some small bits of core in the salad. More to my disappointment the Salad dressing was no longer the house dressing they used to make it was Ken's balsamic dressing, which generally tastes like diabetes syrup. Maybe it was an off night for the salad and I could live with that but the lack of the old house dressing was disappointing. Speaking of cutting corners, the chimichuri used to be super fresh and of good quality ingredients. The chimichuri this time around had a lower quality olive oil and the parsley was dried instead of fresh. My friend ordered some empanadas, which were partially burnt and again the slasa wasn't the same quality as they used to make with the empanadas. For an entree, I ordered Bandeja Columbiana. The chicharon was a bit overdone but ok enough. The chorizo was probably the best part but you have to try to mess up chorizo. The maduro was kind of dry and somewhat bland. The chicken was a touch rubbery and the steak was fine; nothing to write home about. As I had mentioned before the food wasn't terrible, it was fine enough but it was not worth the price it cost. Much worse is the fact that the quality in general just isn't the same as it had been prior, maybe they just had an off night but something tells me this is how it is now. It's too bad this restaurant isn't quite what it was; it used to be one of my favorites.

It is the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a delicious meal, listen to great music, and truly have a memorable night out. The background music made the experience even better, with Chayanne's "Bailando Bachata," Romeo Santos, Nicky Jam, and other amazing Latin artists creating the perfect upbeat, feel-good vibe. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Angie, was wonderful--friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in throughout the meal without ever making us feel rushed. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience feel even more special. We began with the Empanadas de Queso, and they were easily a perfect 10! They were fried to a beautiful golden crisp without being overcooked, with a light, flaky exterior and a warm, perfectly blended cheese filling. The cheese was savory, creamy, and melted perfectly with every bite. The sauce served on the side was the extra touch that took them to another level--so flavorful and delicious that it left us wishing there was more. This appetizer is an absolute must-order. The Yuca Bites were another highlight. They were crispy on the outside while remaining soft, warm, and tender inside. The seasoning was just right--flavorful without overpowering the natural, comforting taste of the yuca. Every bite had a satisfying crunch followed by a smooth, buttery texture, making them incredibly easy to keep reaching for. They were simple, well prepared, and full of delicious flavor. The Rice and Green Pigeon Peas was also very good. It was not the traditional Puerto Rican-style rice and peas, but it had its own delicious flavor and character. The rice was fluffy, nicely seasoned, and complemented by the hearty, earthy taste of the green pigeon peas. It was a satisfying side that paired beautifully with the rest of the meal. The Salmon Fettuccini was outstanding. The salmon was cooked perfectly--tender, moist, and flaky, never dry or overdone. It blended beautifully with the fettuccini and flavorful sauce, creating a comforting dish with a wonderful balance of creamy pasta, savory seasoning, and fresh salmon. The flavors came together so well that every forkful was just as enjoyable as the first. For dessert, we had the Tres Leches and Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. The portions were on the smaller side, but they were still absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The Tres Leches was moist, soft, and wonderfully rich, with that classic sweet, milky flavor that melts in your mouth. The Bread Pudding was warm, comforting, and full of sweet, spiced flavor, while the scoop of vanilla ice cream added a smooth, creamy contrast as it slowly melted over the top. Both desserts were satisfying and definitely worth ordering. Overall, MamaJuana Cafe delivered an amazing dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the music and atmosphere made the night feel fun and memorable. Angie and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. We are already planning our return and cannot wait to go back on a night when the DJ is there for an even more energetic and festive experience. If you are looking for flavorful food, attentive service, great Latin music, and a welcoming atmosphere in Waterbury, MamaJuana Cafe is a place you absolutely need to experience!

    I've been here three times and keep forgetting to leave a review but here it is!…read more I can't break it down by dish since I've been here a few times and have tried a few things from their menu but highly recommend you visit. Location is great, lots of parking and it feels safe. Inside the restaurant there is a lot of space and the way it's set up makes it feel very open. They always play Spanish music which is one of the reasons I love coming here. Make me feel like I'm on vacation LOL! As a girl there's a lot of cute places to take pictures. This spot is cute to come with your girlfriends. The birthday song the play is so fun and really gets everyone excited. The service is a bit inconsistent- there have been times I've gone and they're not really too friendly or personable and then there are times that they're very friendly. I went yesterday and our waiter was William and he was so fun, he was dancing while taking our order :) I love love their food. It's always an explosion of flavor. This time when I went it stood out to me more, I had just had dinner at Don Coqui in Edgewater the night before and WOW!! If you ever thought about Don Coqui please save yourself the drive, money and stress cuz Mamajuana is where it's at!!! Their food is 100x better than Don Coqui. Their drinks are always on point and service is generally fast. Highly recommend this place. Great for birthdays or just any occasion. You'll surely have a great time! I dare you to not dance in your seat while you eat LOL ***PS- they do not share this info when walking in BUT they will charge a fee for using credit card. I think it's bs and their only downfall. I'd understand it if they were a small little restaurant cuz those merchant fees suck but they're a pretty big location so they should be able to handle those and I don't think it's ethical that they do not disclose this info anywhere. So BEWARE. I believe it's like a $5 difference from paying cash.

I would have liked to see signature arepas alongside the full "make your own" such as pabellón or reina pepiada. I cannot speak on the authenticity of the other dishes they offered, but if you are looking for true authentic arepas this is not exactly the place. Although it was not a bad experience either. It was very clean inside the restaurant and the worker was pleasant.
