I have never seen three people work harder than in this kitchen on Cinco de Mayo. Thankfully, I put…read morein my order about 10 minutes after they reopened at 5 PM. Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

Tacos taste good, but I've been told the Taco Tuesday is a bait and switch. I only tried a couple…read moreTuesdays and the tacos are *tiny!* My friend says other days they're normal sized, but this is horrible marketing because I have no desire to go back on other days to find out. Taco Tuesdays apparently aren't a deal, they just sell you a lot less food for less money. Switched to 1 star after the business owner's response. Wow.

So many food trucks, how do you choose?…read more I went to Yelp of course and Ixtapa came up as the most visited/reviewed truck. Ixtapa it is! One Birria plate and a cheese quesadilla please! Of course Birria is messy and eating it in the car can be a challenge but we are up for the challenge! Over the last year, we have been on a birria kick. So I can share, this birria was good but I have had better. Their quesadilla was the winner for me! Super soft, loaded with cheese and flavorful. Maybe it's 2 kids of cheese inside? I would visit again.

So many options, all of which specialize in different kinds of Latin American food. There's plenty of parking along the stretch. It's worth getting out & walking down the line of trucks to check out the options. There are no real tables or facilities, though. We noticed a few portable bathrooms, but they were locked. The food from Ixtapa was delicious & affordable. They made me an excellent elote, & I appreciate that they stabbed it with a stick so that eating it was a neater, cleaner experience. The tacos were great, too. I definitely recommend stopping for the whole experience.

Went for drinks with friends. The waitress named Ariana substituted our order for a premium…read moreupcharge that ended up doubling our bill without notifying us. The manager fully admitted that it was an error on Ariana's part but proceeded to continue to charge us the doubled amount saying "he understood but had to charge us what Ariana entered". Through this dispute, instead of taking accountability, the waitress claimed she told us (she didn't), and we ended up paying for a mistake that the manager himself acknowledged should not have happened. When we suggested they clearly disclose substitutions or include the pricing policy on the menu for future customers, the manager said they did not plan to change it. Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience with even poorer customer service.

For small plates, we got the esquites and sweet plantains. The esquites was delicious. For the sweet plantains, they asked if we wanted the crema + queso fresco on the side but it still came on top. Plantains were alright, wasn't loving them though because they were drenched in the toppings. Kale salad was huge! Yummy and fresh. The food came out so quick. I love that they use corn tortillas for the tacos. The pork belly taco was drenched in kimchi, not my favorite but a good cut of pork belly. I like the lamb taco tasted just like a mini lamb gyro. The baja fish taco was my favorite though, it's comes in a huge slab. it was so good I ordered another. I love the chipotle sauce the Baja fish taco comes with too. The music was awesome too, such a vibe. A lot of EDM, felt like all they were missing was a disco ball. Very delicious, would come back.

I've been to Te Amo Tequila Bar & Taco more than 10 times, and I still love it every single visit…read more I've come for happy hour, brunch, and dinner and I honestly have zero complaints. It's always a vibe. Most recently, I stopped by with a coworker for drinks and to catch up. Around 9ish, a DJ came in and started playing fun music, which took the energy up another level. It turned into the perfect mix of relaxed and lively. And let's talk about the drinks their spicy guava margarita is still my absolute favorite. It's the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and refreshing. If you're looking for good food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere that never disappoints, this is the spot. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Nachos: when the apple fell from the tree and Newton questioned why things fell straight down, and…read morenot sideways or upwards, nobody questioned his sanity. But when I try to explain to people that the way ingredients fall on a plate of nachos actually matters, people look at me like I'm nuts. Look at this. One look and you know the bottom layer is doomed. They were generous with the cheese, it even seeped through the bottom layer, but then they exiled the cilantro (why is it even on there?) to one side like it's trapped behind a mountain range. Then you got the salsa, sour cream and guac in plastic containers forming an aggressive and completely unnecessary alliance on its border. Why put plastic containers on top of the food to begin with. Im not being crazy, this is physics. None of the ingredients tasted like real food anyway. I don't know where New Haven gets its produce but it all tastes like it was 3D printed. All else: waitresses were incredibly sweet. music was incredibly annoying.

It's hard to make a quesadillas stand out, the ingredients are pretty standard and most taste…read morepretty similar. However, my quesadilla from here stands out from the rest. It was the most flavorful and freshest quesadilla I've ever had. The pico was amazing and the ingredient combination was just right. I especially loved the avocado, which was included, but is typically only offered at an additional price. To be fair, I'm not too adventurous when it comes to food and my go-to Mexican dish is typically a quesadilla, so I've had more than my fair share. Basically, I consider myself an above-average, experienced quesadilla critic. In a world filled of dozen of food trucks in Long Wharf, I picked this particular one, and I'm so happy I did. The menu looked good, the truck looked clean and the line wasn't too long (I'm not sure why). They also take credit cards, which was an added bonus. With a drink, my meal came to $9 and I loved every bite and I'm totally full. The BF ordered from another truck, but ended up getting an additional chicken taco here. He enjoyed the green sauce topping he put on, but it was a bit too spicy for me. I have to come back and try something else from here soon.

The meat was super tender, like melt-in-your-mouth good, and the portion was definitely satisfying. I will say, at first I wished the broth had a bit more flavor on its own but once I added the lime and the sauce that came with it? Game over. It gave it the perfect kick and brought everything together. Overall, such a creative and comforting dish. I'd definitely order it again. If you're into noodles and want to try something different, this is it.

However, food was still good, particularly the Al Pastor tacos and green tamales! I just wish they automatically gave condiments for the tacos instead of having to request limes and hot sauce/ salsa. This is a simple, no fuss restaurant. Food is good, staff is friendly. Their tres leches was not fluffy and soaked to a sickly sweet level- and that's coming from a sweet tooth! Additionally- the lighting was a bit strange. Despite going at 12:30ish, the restaurant was dim with most tables being lit with red lightbulbs which was very off-putting. Hopefully this can be taken in consideration in any future changes!
