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.

Came across this food truck when it was parked outside Counter Weight Brewing in Hamden. From the…read moreoutside we couldn't really tell what kind of food it was, as there was no menu. However, inside the brewery, every table had their menu. Our first round of ordering included maduros, tostones, and papitas. The tostones and papitas were very good, the fries were crisped nicely. And the chipotle sauce that went with the tostados was had a nice zing to it. Enjoying these, we ended up order a second round. We tried three empanadas (the cheeseburger, the Sweet Flame, and the Roasted Green) and the popcorn shrimp special. The Brussels sprouts in the Roasted Green empanada were delicious, cooked and flavored well; the Sweet Flame has cajun chicken, cheese, and mango habanero sauce. All the empanadas were filled greatly and not too doughy. The shrimp were cooked to a golden crisp with a very tasty sauce that tasted like a sweet chili glaze. Overall, enjoyable and would try again.

This review is not the easiest for me to write. I have been coming to the Little Columbian…read morerestaurant since 2015. I loved this place, their food was fantastic and the quality was super consistent; an excellent spot to get together with friends or a date. So much attention to detail was paid, house made dressing, salsa, all ingredients were super fresh, the meats were always cooked excellently, and the staff was friendly. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a while but at some point in the last few years the Little Columbian restaurant became My little Columbian restaurant. My friends and I went there for dinner at the end of October, there was one couple that was leaving the restaurant but we were the only ones there when we first walked in. The vibe of the restaurant has changed because they changed how they decorated the interior of the restaurant. I prefer their older vibe but no big deal. Our waitress was nice and very attentive all night and the staff in general was quite friendly. Here's my issue, the food quality is not as good as it was in the past. And if they are going to charge along the same lines as what they have, always been on the pricier side, then the quality should still be at the same level. There were a bunch of little things that added up. To start, the salad I ordered didn't have the same quality of greens (I think they used a spring mix in the past), there were some small bits of core in the salad. More to my disappointment the Salad dressing was no longer the house dressing they used to make it was Ken's balsamic dressing, which generally tastes like diabetes syrup. Maybe it was an off night for the salad and I could live with that but the lack of the old house dressing was disappointing. Speaking of cutting corners, the chimichuri used to be super fresh and of good quality ingredients. The chimichuri this time around had a lower quality olive oil and the parsley was dried instead of fresh. My friend ordered some empanadas, which were partially burnt and again the slasa wasn't the same quality as they used to make with the empanadas. For an entree, I ordered Bandeja Columbiana. The chicharon was a bit overdone but ok enough. The chorizo was probably the best part but you have to try to mess up chorizo. The maduro was kind of dry and somewhat bland. The chicken was a touch rubbery and the steak was fine; nothing to write home about. As I had mentioned before the food wasn't terrible, it was fine enough but it was not worth the price it cost. Much worse is the fact that the quality in general just isn't the same as it had been prior, maybe they just had an off night but something tells me this is how it is now. It's too bad this restaurant isn't quite what it was; it used to be one of my favorites.

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 fresh pollack fish tacos special included refried beans, rice, and guacamole. Nachos are a must here and were made with homemade chips and served piping hot. Their complimentary Salsa bar had an incredible variety of mild to spicy salsa and Mexican Carrots. The interior ambiance is somewhat dated. However reasonable prices for the quality food ingredients make up for it as well as their full service stocked bar. The service is welcoming and phenomenal. Our waitress Jessica is extremely pleasant and professional.There is plenty of free parking in the lot right in front of the restaurant. Scrumptious, fresh Mexican food with attentive service and reasonable prices make this restaurant a winning combination!
