    A great hole in the wall spot for authentic street style tacos! There are only 4 tables inside as it is mostly a take out spot. I tried the Al pastor, carne asada, carnitas and barbacoa. The tacos are doubled up on the corn tortillas to hold the big portion of meat they give you. The tacos comes with onions and cilantro but I recommend adding the extra toppings (cheese and avocado) for extra flavor. The salsas aren't the most flavorful but overall the food is delicious.

    Unseasoned chicken

    The food was fresh, But the hot sauce wasn't very spicy and the chicken in the tacos had no seasoning at all. Like none. It's just white. Also tastes like it may have been frozen.

    After leaving the dive bar next door I stumbled upon this amazing place. Authentic Mexican food and amazing customer service. Try the hot sauces.

    The best burrito in Wallingford!!! Very clean inside and charming decor. The owner is very nice.

    paid $14 for two small esquites- or so i thought... this was really soupy and watery. esquite should be creamy. 2/10 :/ not worth it.

    Brought back memories for me. Use to live in Cali and guys would sell these from a shopping cart. Mexican street corn mmmmmmMm

    It's like a super cute hole in the wall kinda place. But they had everything! Hershey's ice cream, a ton of fresh fruits! They also do like and edible arrangement thing there too, which is kinda cool. A pretty large food menu! I would come back. The server was super nice and the food came out pretty quickly.

    Homemade tortilla chips for each order

    Authentic, homemade and seasoned perfectly!! I ordered steak tacos, Al Pastor and Pollo burritos - and had it delivered to my office for a straight drive home for dinner. The gentleman that took my order on the phone and who also delivered them does not speak much English, so he asked me to text the address for the delivery. For confirmation, I also texted my order and the total amount that I was quoted ($28 for all, inclusive of any delivery charge). Note: the minimum order for delivery is $25. The steak tacos was perfect, and came with fresh radishes and limes. The steak was cut in very small pieces and the soft taco shells were homemade. The burritos were delish - both came with Mexican rice (in the burrito ) which was just lightly seasoned. There were homemade tortilla chips with both red and green sauces. My family was very pleased with the food, we will be back!!!

    Tacos dorados de pollo ...comes with rice and beans but I opted out on the extra carbs.

    The food was severely lacking in flavor. The melted cheese was a hard blob that had to cut with a knife. Overall just really bad.

    Sundae Afternoon - Red Velvet waffle cone

    I recently visited Sundae Afternoon after seeing Instagram content. The shop is cute. They use ice…read morecream made by Ice Cream Club, which is based in Florida. I sampled one flavor that I thought was decent, but I decided to order the Red Velvet Cake flavor which looked good and tasty. I liked the Red Velvet Cake flavor. It was a bit of a cheat code in the best possible way. I mean -- combine ice cream and one of the best cakes, and you're ahead of the game. The waffle cone was good too, but it had a big hole in the bottom. Luckily, I noticed Dixie cups on the counter. So I just placed the cup under the cone. Service was pleasant and efficient. Sundae Afternoon was a good ice cream shop and is worth visiting. I wouldn't say it's with the top tier CT places though. Four Stars

Upon arriving, the ladies serving you were the sweetest. Offering us a taste of the ice creams, announcing their specials and pointing out pre-made frozen treats in a separate freezer across from the main counter. The main counter has all the hard ice creams on display. They have hard ice creams from The Ice Cream Club, a company from Florida. This is my first time trying this ice cream and different the other ice cream shops in the area who serve Giffords Ice Cream, Praline's Ice Cream, etc. They have a few dairy-free options too. I got two scoops of the Stellar Coffee flavor. The ice cream was light, rich coffee flavor with a thick fudge swirl and a generous amount of mini dark chocolate coffee cups. My husband tried the Strawberry Shortcake Bomb, their take of the Good Humor bar. There was strawberry ice cream in the center, wrapped in vanilla, and rolled in the strawberry shortcakes pieces. They had other fun flavors and treats like a Neil's Donut Ice Cream Sandwich (would love to try this next). Sundae Afternoon is in a great area that we pass by often. It's next to a Subway and across the street from the Yalesville Veterinary Hospital. They have dog friendly ice cream treats too. For a small shop, it's very open. The dining area is spacious, walls painted in a fun, bright orange color. Can't wait to see more of Sundae Afternoon and what they have in store when the weather heats up!

It is…read moresome of the creamiest, smoothest, and most refreshing ice cream I've ever had, without even a hint of artificial taste. According to their story, it's all naturally produced from the milk of their 300 cows housed at Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, CT. The menu is packed with delicious and interesting flavors, and taste-testing is gladly allowed. My daughter got a cup of the mint chip, while I opted for a waffle cone with sweet cream and chocolate. Both were absolutely delicious. The ambiance is that of an upscale ice cream spot. The interior features a bright, clean, and welcoming black-and-white design, with framed photos of their farm cows lining the walls. There is no traditional table seating inside--just two benches and some standing room--so it is mostly an order-to-go setup. It is also conveniently located right around the corner from the Yale University campus, making it a perfect treat to enjoy while walking. The service can be a little on the slow side, but that's likely because they graciously let everyone sample flavors. The employees are incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative about the shop's most popular scoops. An absolute must-visit in New Haven.

Late July is peach season, and the sweet aroma of peaches blends beautifully with the natural richness of milk. The first taste is the sweet and sour peach, with fruit pieces bursting like popping boba, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma that instantly transports you to an orchard. All of this is built on a rich and natural milk base. Butter Pecan: A spontaneous choice. Overall, it's slightly salty within the milky flavor, with pecan nuts as a topping, making it a rather full-bodied one. Fortunately, it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying, and the slight saltiness adds a nice touch. I thought it was just okay, but my parents loved it. Sweet Cream Chocolate Chip: Apparently their signature flavor. The sweet cream wasn't actually too sweet, but the cream was very rich and fragrant; the real sweetness came from the chocolate chips, which burst in your mouth with every chew, and even just a sample was slightly cloying. The staff were very friendly, proactively offering recommendations and samples. Taking a break with ice cream while strolling around campus and the art gallery is definitely a great experience.
