This place has a very cozy feel (as if your in your grandmother house) Waitress was very attentive. Cooks were very nice and welcoming to people that want to get to know their culture eats.

I recently embarked on a full taco tour of Willimantic, and La Mexicana Grocery and Taqueria seemed…read moreto be the highest rated place on Yelp. It is indeed both a taqueria and a market. There is a seating area within the market where you can eat your tacos. The area where you order food is functional, but completely lacking in aesthetics. The tacos were terrific though. I ordered a Bistec, a Pastor and a Chorizo. The meats were very good, especially the Pastor and the Chorizo. The tortillas were very good. And the homemade red and green sauces were great. The taco side of La Mexicana is a great place worth exploring. The Market side was cool too. You can basically buy better versions of most Mexican foods you would buy in a grocery store. Terrific tostada shells. Very good queso fresco. Very good condiments. I love exploring stores like that. Five Stars

The best food--and even better staff! We hired this food truck for our wedding at Evergreen Green…read moreFarms, and it was one of the best decisions we made. We wanted something different from the typical (and often overpriced) wedding fare, and they delivered in every way. From juicy, flavorful gyros to flaky spanakopita and delicious feta fries, everything was incredible.

Our guests were still talking about how amazing the food was weeks later! We'd recommend them for any event--or even just keep an eye out for them at your local farmers market...you'll be glad you did.

Admittedly, I was looking for the Mijos taco truck when I stumbled upon this surprising little gem…read moreon wheels. Lady Copacabana is a new Providence food truck boasting deep fried rissolis, essentially, the Brazillian empanada. And--oh noes--this is a dangerous little late night guilty pleasure. I tried the pulled pork rissoli tonight. Not only is the deep fried dough so perfectly thick, crispy, and battered, but the empanada is generously portioned, relatively inexpensive (compared to most of the other trucks on Thayer), and wondrously stuffed w/ a sweet, perfectly mixed pulled pork that literally melts in your mouth. All emanadas are made to order. All come out sizzling hot from the fryer and perfectly tasty. The real deal in street food. I was chatting with the owner a bit tonight while waiting for my rissoli and he just returned from a winter sabbatical in Brazil visiting his mother--mmhmm, this is as authentic as it gets. Brazil on wheels in our very own, Providence. I've got nothing but love. **UPDATE: I just went back for more. Tried the Chicken Quesadilla and the Mac&Cheese. I'm realizing that what I really love about these empanadas is that despite their deep fried nature, the filling tastes so fresh, perfectly mixed, and clean that it really doesn't feel like your typical greasy spoon. It's the perfect balance of deep fried outside w/ a truly refined ground meet texture. I just can't get enough of these.

This restaurant was so cute! Even though their sign is big, the store is so small it's easy to…read moremiss. Walking in, it looked like a regular cute family own restaurant. They had snacks to buy at the register too. We all sat down for lunch and they were quick to attend. Rough prices: the birria tacos (4 tacos) were about $18. The other tacos ranged from $4.50-5.50/taco. Honestly was not bad of a price considering how much protein was stacked into them. Two others at the table had gotten burritos with mushrooms instead of meat, and those burritos were comically huge in size. I think the prices are definitely worth the size and quality of the food! The tacos were absolutely delicious! The birria meat was not dry without the consommé! They were very generous with how much filling it got. The carne taco was much better than the chicken one but both were very very good. Nothing in the meal was dry or felt like it's been sitting out for a while. The food is definitely made-to-order! No one at the table had any complaints, only compliments! Hopefully they get much more foot traffic; for lunch time it was not super busy, just a small family and a singular customer. I would recommend this place, very homey feeling too!

On my IG Food Blog, I released a reel of taco places to visit and some people recommended places…read morefor me to try. One recommendation was Taqueria Cordoba. I recently visited and loved it. TC is located in the heart of the main drag in Willimantic. It's not fancy. It's part market. Part takeout. And there's functional seating for maybe up to about 15 people. But I wouldn't call it comfortable. After looking at the menu and what was going on at some of the tables, I ordered a pastor taco, a shredded lamb taco and a Mango Guava Agua Fresca for takeout. The tacos were traditional in that the meats were served with cilantro, onions, a lime, red salsa and green salsa on corn tortillas. The pastor was very tasty and tender. The serving size of the pastor was substantial. The lamb had good shredded texture and moisture. Almost like lamb carnitas. It needed more salt though. Both salsas were spicy, but good. I don't know if the the tortillas were made in house because they were too busy to ask. They seemed like they probably were though. I ordered the Mango Guava Agua Fresca after seeing it on so many tables. There were so many apparently knowledgeable Mexican diners there, I figured they knew something I didn't know. They did. It was delicious and had a substantially to it. If you need a fancier place to eat and don't live in the area for takeout, TC might not be your first choice. I don't need a fancy place. And I loved it. 4.5 Stars
