I still order cases of salsa shipped from Las Cruces because I've never found anything on the east coast that comes close - until now. Green Chilitos is the real thing. The tacos, the homemade salsas, the queso, the black bean dip was amazing. The guy who owns it really cares... Portions are REALLY big - like leftover lunch big and terrific. The space is small and simple - don't come here for the ambiance. but the food is really the star. One humble suggestion for GC (I decided to give it a nickname)... throw up a BYOB sign out front. This is Fairfield. We will show up with a bottle of wine faster than you can say guacamole. A sign in the window could change your business overnight. Again, awesome - you should go - or take out (but really go, and bring a bottle...)

Our benchmark for any Mexican restaurant…read more We always order as takeout as there's limited space inside to sit and is quite busy with waiting patrons and is a short drive from us. The food is so flavorful, especially the carnitas and chicken tinga. Their burrito is massive and the platters that have rice and beans are delicious as well. So many other Mexican restaurants fail upon comparison despite looking fancier or having good reviews. This one just nails the flavor down to pure goodness. Their churros are nice too if somehow you are not full after eating!

I didn't have much time when I visited, but I ordered three pastor tacos (which I believe is the minimum order; I love it when a place let's you order one taco of multiple types). The tacos were good, but are not top tier in CT for me. Relative to the best places, the tacos didn't pop in terms of flavor or texture. They were above average though. No shame in that. Four Stars

I ordered Birria Tacos and a Sope with Steak. It took about fifteen minutes to prepare and the Sope with the Steak was delicious. It was my first time ever trying one and the Steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Birria Tacos were okay. The meat was packed with flavor but the Birria Taco was on the dry side. The Consomé was lacking flavor and I didn't fill the love cooked in the Consomé. The customer service was great and the staff were very friendly.

Ok, here we go! I was in the mood for Tacos-so I stopped by for lunch.(My budget for lunch is…read morenormally UNDER $15.00) I ordered three Tacos for $11.00 and I wanted some rice and beans, a side was $4.75 (the tacos come with radishes & cilantro-no worries.) My bill came out to $16.91 including tax. The steak tacos had plenty of meat-but the seasonings were lackluster at best but the fresh lime helped out to give it some taste/flavor. The corn tortillas were doubled up as per usual, heated on the grill and filled with steak & cilantro and they didn't break (surprisingly)! I was underwhelmed- the tacos were just tacos, nothing special, no flavor profile was evident: except the cilantro & lime. The steak (really beef meat) was chewy; very chewy... so sad & disappointing. The rice and beans is what really threw me off (please look at the pic). It had what looked like yellow rice stir fry vibes with frozen peas and carrots=sided with refried beans!!? There was literally a miniscule amout of taste, flavor and eye appeal. The rice seemed tasteless and I tried to mix the refried beans with the rice and made it worse! In my 35t years of Cheffing-it-up, I've NEVER seen Spanish, Mexican,Puerto Rican or ANY Latino rice and beans look and taste like that! ( I WANTED A KNIFE TO SCRAP MY TONGUE!!!) I do understand that different cultures prepare their rice & beans differently, but this was the first and last time I see and taste something like this and call it rice and beans! Oh my... I rate the rice and beans [negative]-2.25 out of 5 stars and the tacos 1.75 stars out of 5 stars. This was an interesting experience to say the least. Thanks Chef Clinton

Warm chips and a tangy salsa arrived with glasses of ice water. We ordered main courses without appetizers because we wanted to save room for dessert. Service was quick but never rushed. My enchiladas mole were VERY good, probably the best I have ever had. The seasoning was spot on, and the accompanying rice and refried beans were prepared with as much care as the entree...excellent! My wife enjoyed her version of enchiladas, served with red sauce and black beans, just as much. The fresh lemonade and horchata were tasty and an excellent meal accompaniment. My wife ordered the flan for dessert and I chose sopapillas with ice cream. The flan was creamy and the sopapillas were sweet and cinnamon infused; both were perfect endings to a fantastic meal. Plan to stop in soon at this wonderful family run restaurant; you won't be disappointed!

We tend to eat outside and the several tables along the sidewalk. We get takeout for dinner later as well.

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.
