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.

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.

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.

Cool place. Reminds me of a place called Burrito Haus in Nogales Mexico that was actually a garage…read moreonce. Great old rusty signs and high tops similar to car lifts. Excellent lunch specials. Mostly tacos but with high end ingredients. I had the mix and match 3 tacos, carnitas, pollo asada and veggies. Husband had the soup and taco combo with pulpos (octopus) and sausage. He also got the Camacho Garage Lager. I particularly enjoyed the salsa verde. Our waiter was the bartender and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. The high top was a bit difficult for my short fat legs but I managed it. They also have regular tables. Highly recommended for their lunch specials. Very inexpensive.

Place has great ambiance!…read more The food is excellent, though arguably on the expensive side. Just for reference, the Mexican Torta here was on the Brunch Menu for $19. I did also get to try my wife's chilaquiles which were also pretty good. Parking is a bit of a challenge unless you're parking on the street. So while I can't give it a perfect score, it is well worth checking out! Edit: adjusting to 3 stars. $9 for a sparkling water?

Came in for Sunday lunch after a long time not having visited. Last time I visited was when their…read moretacos were still $2.50 each! 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!

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.

We've driven by the Food Truck Paradise so many times & finally, at long last, we decided to check…read moreit out. I'm so glad we did. It's such a great lil stretch of food trucks along the water. 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.

It's a really good restaurant and the ambiance does bring you to the south west part of America…read morewith all the frame indigenous pictures. The food fits the theme really well. Great tequila program with good cocktails. It's not my first time here but I came here this time to lunch. Here is what I thought: Table side Guacamole is a must especially if you are with a group. The portion is bigger than you think so it's a bit much for 2 people and better for 3+. When they ask if you want it spicy, I personally don't think they go that heavy. If you can handle the heat, spicy really won't knock your socks off. The hamburger is good. Standard and safe. Not much more I need to say about it. Tacos are good and the portion is decent. Not the best I had in the Connecticut and average if you are in the south west. It hits if you miss the flavor profile and really crave it. Hatch Green Chili Stew is really good. Hatch green chili isn't that spicy and gives a Smokey sweeter aroma compared to other peppers. This might be the best thing I had on the menu in terms of food. It was my birthday so I order the Fistful of Dollars for a drink. I enjoyed it for a tequila based cocktail but not sure if I would normally spend that much on a single drink moving forward. Drinks and decor is what makes this restaurant stand out. If you are out on a Friday night or the weekend, I do think this is a great restaurant to get your tequila in because it's one of the best tequila programs I seen in awhile.

We were sharing stories with classmates on reunion weekend. There was a line across the street but…read morenone here.....for good reason.

YES, THIS BAR EMPLOYEES PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE BOUNCERS! Best for any decent person to avoid this hole and tell your student kids to stay away. We considered calling the cops but didn't want to miss the quality time and events with classmates elsewhere as it was our 25th REUNION! Way to improve the neighborhood, New Haven!

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.
