Kept passing by and finally stopped in, glad we did. The service was on point, server was very attentive checking on drink levels and taking plates away. The food was above and beyond expectations, Birria Tacos had a great presentation and amazing flavor. Also a great portion for the price. The Classic Chimichanga was a heck of a choice, presentation was clean and colorful, flavor was over the top amazing. Hidden gem with a great atmosphere, will definitely be going back. read more

My wife and I have gotten takeout from Brick Cantina twice so far. The food was acceptable if perhaps nothing really to write home about. It's hard to describe or characterize their flavors and seasonings, but BC's interpretations of classic Mexican dishes differ from what I've had before, which includes traveling to and eating many times in Mexico as well as in the southern border states. I should also mention that on both takeout occasions there were mistakes in the order. Yesterday we were running errands around dinner time in downtown Hebron, so I said, "Let's give the place another try and dine in." We were seated immediately. The restaurant has one large dining room with about eight four-person booths, along with four larger tables in the middle that can accommodate parties of up to eight or ten. On the other side of the windowed wall is the bar area; I didn't get a good look, but my wife said it had a selection of high-top tables. The atmosphere is simple, comfortable, and small-town homey, although the abundance of hard surfaces makes it a little loud in there. The waitress was at our table almost immediately to take our drink orders, which came out quickly, along with a generous bowl of chips and salsa. There was something odd about the salsa, which seemed inexplicably bland. For dinner, my wife ordered chicken fajitas, the classic sizzling platter of marinated chicken with sautéed vegetables, served with Mexican rice, refried beans, and a choice of flour or corn tortillas. (She opted for flour.) I selected the Bendito Burrito, described on the menu as a flour tortilla stuffed with grilled chicken, Mexican rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, and topped with red sauce and house queso. All in all, these were familiar dishes that would not challenge our palates and would enable reasonable comparisons and judgments. The dishes came out reasonably quickly and were attractively prepared and presented. My wife's fajitas were exactly as expected, if perhaps not seasoned as thoroughly or aggressively as I've tasted in many other restaurants. My burrito was similarly run-of-the-mill: neither overwhelming nor underwhelming in flavor. It was generously sized, and I just barely managed to finish it before declaring myself full. My wife ended up taking home about half of the fajitas. Throughout dinner, the waitress was present, attentive, and pleasant. We came away feeling that perhaps the best single word for BC was "competent." Things took a regrettable turn for the worse about two hours after I got home. Within a few minutes, I went from feeling completely normal to experiencing extreme pain and a feeling of fullness just under the bottom of my rib cage, and my abdomen became hard and distended. I very quickly understood what was coming and made it to the bathroom in time to revisit my dinner in an unfortunate reversal of fortune. A couple of waves later, my system was emptied and I felt quickly relieved, although disappointed at the $19 that had literally gone down the drain. What makes the whole experience particularly disappointing is that, up until that point, I had been prepared to give Brick Cantina a respectable "competent" review. The food wasn't memorable, but it was perfectly serviceable; the restaurant was unremarkable but pleasant; and the service was friendly and attentive. In retrospect, perhaps "competent" was giving Brick Cantina more credit than it deserved. We had gone in hoping that a dine-in experience might change our opinion after two mediocre takeout experiences. Instead, we got an entirely ordinary dinner followed by a rather extraordinary reminder that sometimes the most memorable part of a restaurant meal comes after you've left the restaurant. I think we've given BC enough chances, and am certain our next Mexican dinner will be somewhere else. read more

Mexican in Hebron? Yup! Try it! My parents found this restaurant when they took the backroads home. They enjoyed their meal so much that day, that they have come back a few times. On this night, we were seated quickly, next to the bar area. Surprisingly, even with the opening to the bar right next to us, it was not too loud. We excitedly ordered the special appetizer of the night, which was the chorizo stuffed jalapeños. I skipped the chorizo but snagged a roasted jalapeño and that was cooked very well. Everyone said they were amazing. My dad and my son got the Birria tacos. They looked good, they were good, and amazing cold for breakfast (words from the boy). I ordered the Chile Rellenos, which came with salad (really good dressing), small serving (maybe 2 tablespoons) of refried beans (which was ok, wasn't a fan), and a decently flavored Mexican rice. Mom ordered the Rosa Maria Salmon. It was a nice portion size, served with a generous portion of white rice and grilled veggies. I was told the salmon was good. The veggies looked delicious, but they lacked flavor and were a little too oily for me. My son ordered the fried ice cream and dad ordered the churros. Both thoroughly enjoyed them and I would have to concur, after snagging a bite of both. I will definitely be back, but I'll be sure to pack a sweater, it was absolutely freezing the night we visited. read more

We'd had takeout from here & really liked it. Decided to try in person on a not too busy early weeknight. And it was good. The space is clean & bright. Decent sized. Not too big. There is a bar area & looked to be outdoor seating. Minimal & tasteful decorations (collection of hats hang on the wall). Open for dinner only during the week & lunch & dinner on weekends. Service was very good. Everyone seemed to pitch in to get us items we needed, serve our food & clear up. My husband & I shared the chicken empanadas (3 good sized). I had a mango margarita with the spicy salt on the rim. We split steak fajitas - had to take some home because we had the empanadas & we were just too full. I said I liked flour tortillas & my husband said corn. The server said - no problem, I'll bring both. The fajitas had side of rice, beans, pico, sour cream & guacamole. Very good, though my husband thought a bit more spice would have been good. I'm sure we will be back again. read more

Yesterday was my second visit to Brick Cantina and everything was just as amazing as I had remembered. The chips and salsa are delicious (the salsa is very different from most other salsas, but it is very good), and the queso was also great. Our entrees were both delicious and filling. I had the classic chimichanga, and I would order this again for sure. The service was also quick, especially considering that the place was pretty busy. Overall, definitely recommend. read more

Great margaritas! We had the classic and pineapple- both were delicious! We also ordered empanadas and the nachos. Both were great. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Will definitely be back! read more

Tried this place for the first time to see how it is. The first impression is they like their music! Music should be background noise it shouldn't hit you in the face when you open the door. We did ask our server to turn it down which she did which made it a little more bearable but still tough to have a conversation. We were seated right away and our server was at the table quickly and took our drink orders, two strawberry frozen margaritas. Menu was varied and has plenty of items to choose from to please anyone's palate. The margaritas arrived and were excellent. Nice touch with the half strawberry on top of the margaritas. We ordered the beef empanadas and the classic chimichanga with beef. The empanadas were huge and filled to the brim with ground beef. The beef was very nicely seasoned with a lot of flavor. The dish came with an habernero mayonnaise which had a good kick to it. They were well fried and crispy. The serving was so large that there was plenty to take home for another meal. The chimichanga was served on an oval dish with beans, rice, and salad. The chimichanga was covered in plenty of cheese and was a good sized portion. Again the beef was nicely seasoned and fully packed the tortilla. There wasn't anything on the plate that didn't have great flavor and proved to be a very good meal. The seating is a combination of booths and tables and is very comfortable. The inside of the restaurant is bright and welcoming (in spite of the music). Our server was very attentive and made sure that we always had everything we needed. This restaurant has always been packed when we have passed it so clearly people have taken to it. So go early to be sure to get seated without a wait. We'll definitely be going back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

We are super excited to have a new restaurant in our home town! We have waited a bit to come try the food as there has definitely been a bit of a rush to the new place in town. The interior has been updated and is clean and stylish without and goofy colors or clutter. News Flash!!!! They have GREAT queso!!! It's hard to find this far north. Also good chips and salsa. The hubby has had the tres enchiladas at both our visits and really enjoyed them. I've had tacos both visits and had mixed results, the first time the chicken was moist and we'll seasoned but the second time the chicken was dry and not very seasoned so some things may vary as they get all the cooks on the same page. They have a few beers and make a tasty strawberry margarita. We will definitely be back to try more dishes and support the new restaurant. read more

Excellent new Mexican restaurant! We stopped in for a late dinner on Cinco de Mayo. A large party was leaving as we arrived. The staff had the tables cleaned quickly and seated us. The atmosphere was lively and fun. Eric was our server and took very good care of us. He was attentive and friendly. The menu has many items on it that we would love to try. For starters, we had the Mexican street corn. It's served on the cob which is charred to perfection without tasting burnt. My husband isn't normally a fan of street corn but he raved about this. It was delicious but be aware that it does have some heat if you are sensitive to spicy food. I ordered the pork carnitas tacos with refried beans and rice. Eric informed me that I had the option to mix & match the 3 tacos. The pork was good on its own but the addition of the accompanying sauce put the tacos over the top. The refried beans tasted homemade. My husband ordered the chicken chimichanga. It was served with refried beans, rice and a salad. The chimichanga was stuffed full of a creamy chicken filling that was absolutely delicious! I'm not sure what kind of dressing was on his salad but I could not stop eating it. It was so tasty! After reading reviews about their margaritas, we decided to give the pineapple margarita a try. It was strong! I asked for more pineapple juice to dilute it. You'll definitely get your moneys worth if you order a margarita! The staff here works hard. Tables were cleared quickly. The food was served in a timely manner. They were able to accommodate multiple large groups inside. We are looking forward to enjoying their outdoor patio on nice days in the future. Overall we had a very good experience and will be regulars at Brick Cantina. read more

Brick Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Hebron, Connecticut

We recently tried Brick Cantina in Hebron, and overall it was okay. The interior is beautiful--warm, inviting, and really well done. I especially loved the chandeliers; the whole atmosphere had a great vibe and felt like a place you'd want to hang out. Unfortunately, the service was a little lackluster. My drink came without the rim I asked for, and they gave my 5-year-old a soda instead of the pineapple juice I ordered. Small things, but they add up. As for the food, it was a bit hit or miss. My chimichanga was nice and crispy on the outside, but the inside lacked flavor--it just didn't really taste like much but dry chicken. Although I understand the clientele they serve..can be tricky. My husband said his burrito was good, but not the best. I think they could definitely turn things up a notch in the flavor department. On the bright side, the chips were excellent--super crunchy and perfectly salted--and the guacamole was delicious! All in all, not a bad experience, but there's room for improvement, especially when it comes to service and flavor. read more

Very busy but we were lucky to be seated right away on a Friday night. This place is close to being great, but one major issue is that 3/4 of everything on our plates was way over-seasoned. I had the skirt steak, and normally this would get its flavor from a nice marinade, however all I could taste was salt. The salsa had great flavor however suffered from being too salty as well. The Mahi tacos got a good review at my table as having plenty of flavor. Overall we will be back but I'm avoiding the skirt steak and trying something else next time. If they can balance the seasoning, to normally already very high restaurant levels of sodium, it could become a regular because that is really the only negative--but it's one that is hard to overlook. read more

Friday was extremely busy, but we were seated within 20 minutes. He greeted at the door we greeted when we sat down given our drinks we were with another couple so we weren't in a hurry we chatted. Our food was delicious. Mainly issue is I am allergic to garlic and it's in most of the Mexican food. we had plenty to eat. We left full. Everyone enjoyed it. read more

Went there during the week and shortly after opening time. So being the only ones there the service was attentive as expected. Our waitress was quite knowledgeable regarding the menu as we had to ask a few questions regarding certain ingredients. However, the music was a bit loud but did add to the ambience. I ordered the enchiladas while the wife ordered the taco bowl. Both entrees were way too bland to have a true Mexican flavor. I can say this because I've been to Mexico a number of times and have had the 'real stuff.' This seems to be the norm. I really hope they make it as a good Mexican eatery would be a welcome addition to this area. read more

This was our first time eating at Brick Cantina, and it definitely won't be our last! The manager and waitstaff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic. We can't wait to come back! read more

They've only been open a few weeks. They still have a few kinks work out. But overall, what a great place to visit. The decor was on spot amazing. The little details on the wall and the color they chose was intriguing. We sat at the bar, which I absolutely love and we had great service. Andy was our bartender and had a nice conversation with him as we waited for our meals. Give them a try that's all you can do. We will definitely be going back. read more

Excellent food and great service. I had the Birria Tacos and the Street Corn. Both were excellent. My wife had the Texana Fajitas and said they were among the best she has had. The Margaritas were also very good and the chips and salsa to start were quite good. Even though we were full we had to try the Churros and they did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be going back! read more

One of the best restaurant additions Hebron has been fortunate to have located here. Retired to South Carolina after residing in this wonderful town for 40 years. Briefly, ambiance and decor were excellent. Margarita's sensational! Food? Amongst the best Mexican food items I've sampled and enjoyed. I've traveled the world to include several visits to Mexico. Service? Fabulous! Very knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive. I believe our server was called Thalia. I pray I didn't spell her name wrong. . Don't miss the opportunity to sample the culinary delights there! read more

The taco salad was so salty it was not eatable. The wait staff was totally uncaring about over salty food and that I would leave hungry. Will not return, nor will the group I was with! read more

Not bad but not amazing. Typical Mexican restaurant. I know they're new but we had to ask 3 times for more water from our server which took forever. Pretty sure they gave me the wrong dish but it was still good. My dish was supposed to come with tortillas which I did not get. I asked the server for them and she told me it didn't come with them but it says it right on the menu it does. Little over priced for the taste in my opinion. Small restaurant so pretty noisy. read more

The food was amazing and the staff members were also amazing! We went opening week, so there was a long wait, but the wait was worth it.

The food was full of flavor and the service was amazing. Our server Hannah was very attentive and on top of refills and requests. I enjoyed the nachos and festive mistletoe margarita which was super good, on Hannah's recommendation. I highly recommend coming here for a good time and great food! read more

Brick Cantina - Spicy margarita, cantina classic margarita (strawberry) - Mexican Near Me - Hebron, Connecticut

There's only a few times where I've experienced bad Mexican food. This time was definitely number 1 worst for me in recent history. I'll try to be generous, I really liked the vibe and interior of the restaurant. Everyone was kind, this place looks like it could be a great addition to Hebron. Granted, I ordered to go. My order was simple. I ordered a Burrito with Chicken, Rice, Lettuce, Pico. Of that, it was just extreme dry chicken wrapped up in a tortilla. They did not even include the additions (that I paid for). I also ordered a side of White Rice, and it was so dry that I had to bite down on the grains. I ended up throwing it out. I also ordered a soda too, but never got it. I've lived in Hebron a majority of my life and for some reason every restaurant that goes in to this building almost always goes out of business within a year. I really hope this place stays around, it could be nice if it gets better! Also, the order was $30. For the amount of food you get, you could get almost double that at Chipotle for not even $20. read more

Coming from San Diego, this is some of the best Mexican I've had on the east coast. Really, really good! We got the birria tacos and shredded chicken enchiladas. The salsa is right, the beans and rice are right, everything was right.... Ask for home made hot sauces! I hope this place never loses what it is now! read more

Ok Mexican with high prices. Not catering to towns people and daily workers. Open at 3 on a Friday and Thursday???????????????? Not sure if they don't want to make money but if they keep up these hours, it won't last past a year or two read more
