The restaurant is located on the Greenwich Avenue strip with street parking. The restaurant was small but very clean and had a bar. The lady at the register was very nice and the service was great. We ordered the pork belly taco, the steak taco, and the short rib taco. The steak was super tender and perfectly seasoned. The short rib was super tender and dripping with flavor. I notice at other taco joints the tortilla falls apart, but the tortillas at La Taqueria were very durable. Each taco was very generously topped with meat and toppings. The salsa that accompanied the tacos was spicy, zesty, and overall perfectly balanced. To be honest, these tacos were probably the best I have ever had. The tacos were $5+ dollars a pop, but hey it's Greenwich. 2 tacos is more than enough to satisfy you given the generous portions, also the quality of the meat was outstanding. I would 100% recommend La Taqueria. read more

A great find the usually overly sophisticated Greenwich area for a quick meal without breaking the bank. Food was excellent as was the cost. They are gluten free friendly. Simple and easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

I had never heard of this spot but I'm glad my friend put it as a location on our food tour! Located closer to the top of Greenwich Avenue, the inside is pretty spacious and has an ample amount of seating. It gave me a vibe similar to The Taco Project where you order at the counter. I am always down for some tacos! I did decline a margarita but since I was driving, though the frozen watermelon one my friend ordered looked refreshing. I decided to order carne asada tacos and a Mexican Coke, since this was our third spot for the day and was pretty full already. I would definitely return here! read more

We came here for lunch today. Nice, chill place with seating inside and outside. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to your table. I had the chicken enchiladas and my girlfriend had the chef's plate. Honestly it wasn't the best Mexican I've ever had, but it was plenty good, the prices were reasonable, and the servings were large. read more

Bright, yellow walls with pink flowers decorate this place in Greenwich. There's happy music in Spanish playing (maybe a little loud) and you order at the counter then they bring you your food. I tried the fish tacos and they were very good. Batter wasn't greasy, the fish was flaky and light and the red cabbage was a wonderful complement to the fish and sauce. The flour tortillas were soft and the color was unique. I'd definitely try this place again. read more

Fun, casual vibe with friendly staff. I tried the battered fish tacos. It had great flavors, from the fish, batter, and the slaw on top. I enjoyed the chipotle crema as well. I would've preferred the batter to be a little lighter so the fish could really shine, but overall it was a tasty taco that I would certainly order again. Highly recommend! read more

A laid back neighbor taqueria on Greenwich Ave. You order, pay, get your number, and they bring you your food. It's that easy. The Margarita with a Tajin rim was refreshing. We ordered the chips and salsa - the chips were freshly fried and the salsa had a slight smokiness to it. The Chicken Tortilla soup was delicious, creamy, and had a little kick to it, nothing you can't handle. The Chicken Enchiladas in green sauce were delicious as well. There are about 6 tables inside and 6 tables outside. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely come again. read more

I really liked the food here! Took a quick day trip to Connecticut and found this place walking up Greenwich avenue. The chicken burrito was flavorful. You can taste the grill of the chicken which gives the burrito a really great flavor! The shrimps from the shrimp tacos were similarly grilled to perfection. Chicken quesadilla looked like mini tacos but had good flavor as well! The tortilla are half moon shaped tortilla so they are larger than your typical triangle chip. I got them warm and lightly salted. Great flavor on the chips too!! The food took around 7-10 minutes to make but everything is made fresh! They have indoor seating and a small bar area as well. read more

Have been coming here for two years now and this establishment is still on the very top of my places to eat Mexican cuisine. Sometimes going with friends I end up trying new places but they do not compare to LaTaqueria. The fish (cod) tacos here are the best by far from any I have tried. The wild mushroom is outstanding in every way. The corn is so tasty! If you're in a mood for an alcoholic beverage do try the hibiscus margarita, so refreshing. The food here is consistent, always fresh and staff is friendly. read more

We came here in a group after doing some holiday gift returns (two days after Christmas). We needed a break. I'm so glad we did! We ordered a few guacamole and chips (the chips deeply fried and heavily salted and delicious), tortilla soup (light and filled with chicken), enchiladas, and lots of tacos. Everything was great. And no one left feeling overly stuffed. The food was light and pretty. It's casual, you order and pay at the counter and take a number to your table. Highly recommend if you need a break from shopping, or even a casual dinner! Oh, and everyone who worked here was sweet - groups are a pain for waitstaff I know, but they kept our dishes coming and going with a smile. read more

Excellent! The chips are tasty, definitely homemade. Guac is fresh but not as spicy/flavorful. The tacos were so tasty, spicy and flavorful. What's more is that the tacos are generously filled so you don't have to order a tray of 9 tacos to feel satiated like you do at bodega or bar taco. Flavor profile was very good. Chicken enchiladas were good, generous amount. I think the 4 stars is just the order process and then finding a table which can be stressful. Clean bathroom and friendly service. There's just not a ton of room in the joint. read more

The food was authentic in many aspects of Mexican food . I've been to Mexico many times and I ate at various restaurants. The food here brought me back to the Yucatan Mexico City. Thanks to the amazing chef I had a wonderful time with my wife read more

Wow, had the short rib burrito today and I honestly think it was the best burrito I've ever had. Had a huge portion of short rib, and other goodness. Not half way filled with rice like your typical burrito. Employees were so nice as well. I will definitely be back soon for more delicious short rib! read more

I came with work friends. It's sort of an upscale chipotle. We had the short rib nachos, pisole soup, hanger steak, grilled chicken, and port tacos. Also chicken burrito. Lots of other interesting stuff on the menu. Everything was fresh and tasty. Better than bar taco but without the view. Prices and service are reasonable. Verdict: Cinco de mayo in your mouth read more

Amazing. Fish tacos and tortilla soup are their best foods. I've been there so many times my wife is mad at me.

I LOVE LA TAQUERIA! It's affordable with great food. I really enjoyed my meal here. I stumbled upon this place while walking up Greenwich Avenue. The chicken burrito was delicious, with the grilled chicken adding a fantastic flavor. The shrimp tacos were also grilled to perfection. The chicken quesadilla, though shaped like mini tacos, was packed with great flavor. The tortilla chips are half-moon shaped, larger than typical triangle chips, and served warm and lightly salted.

My boyfriend and I order in from here sometimes. The dishes have been hit or miss for us - but the hits are great.

Tried this spot a while ago and was too impressed. It was like any other chain taco spot. I was expecting more, sadly.

Man!!! This little spot is the real deal, tacos de cochinita were the bomb!! Im a Mexican visiting from Massachusetts and this place just brought me back to childhood. I wish I was closer I would eat here every day. read more

First of all, let me begin by saying I would come here for the street corn alone. Even when ordered for takeout, the corn isn't over-cooked and still crisp and sweet which is not an easy feat. The tacos are also a class act, our favorites being the crispy fish with a delicious slaw and the shredded chicken with avocado. The guacamole was also on point with fresh chips. If you've got a sweet tooth after all that, the flan is perfect to fill in the cracks and leave you with a creamy caramel aftertaste. read more

Good for them. Sort of an authentic fast casual ie chipotle. I liked it a lot Standouts were pozole, veggie/cactus quesadilla, and Cochinita pibil taco. All excellent. The least successful was fish taco - fry too heavy, and too much crema (ie Mayo) and the carnitas taco wasn't too flavorful. Guacamole a pass too. But those other dishes alone are worthy of a return. read more

This spot deserves more than five stars. Delicious food and excellent margaritas! I am originally from NorCal, and have been hunting for the best mexican food - I'm talking about authenticity and explosion of flavors. I have lived in New York for about 6 years now, and this spot in CT is now my absolute favorite mexican spot in the northeast. From the handmade blue corn tortillas to the most delicious nopales tacos and mushroom quesadillas (even my meat-eating husband agreed it was so tasty!), this place made my vegetarian dreams come true. My husband had the chicken tinga taco, cochinita pibil taco, and chorizo con papa taco, and he loved them all. As a California native, I would highly highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a delicious meal. It isn't a fancy spot, but the food speaks for itself - I will definitely be going back for more :) read more

Best tacos in all of Greenwich if not all of Fairfield County. Get the off the menu "melted cheese" tacos and ask for some chipotle cream on the side. Chips are also cooked in house. Good drinks too. Exactly what Greenwich needed. read more

We've ordered from this place before and the rice and beans portion was a bit of a joke - we gave them a pass. Not anymore. They're getting worse. Look at the photos from tonight. The rice doesn't even cover the bottom of a small container. You can consolidate all 3 portions of the rice and beans into a single container. Poor. read more

Excellent food, drinks and service. The staff members were knowledgeable and attentive. Overall an exceptional dining experience!

Everything was great but I'll give an extra shout out to the bowl of posole with chicken. Perfectly seasoned, just the right heat. We tried the fish tacos, the cochinita pibil, and the savory short rib tacos. La Portena ever carbo-challenged, had one of hers in a lettuce cup and enjoyed it. Otherwise, you're looking at blue corn tortillas for your tacos. As far as service -- you order, pay, pick up your drink at the bar, take your number to the table and await a server with your food. There are also a few stools by the bar. You might want to come early or at an off hour, the place was full by 1230 Election Day Tuesday. Some small criticisms -- the cashier didn't catch my order of chips and salsa, but I had enough to eat without as thr posole was so generous. I found the hibiscus Aqua Fresca quite tart, some lime improved it. Overall, I am sorry I didn't try this place earlier it's that good! read more

Second time here and was even better than the first. Everything is always amazing. The tacos, guac, esquites, quesadillas and salsas. It's casual order at the counter and sit down but they do have table service to bring your food and drinks over. Outdoor dining as well. Best part is the homemade corn tortillas! read more

This place touched my heart during my visit to CT. Between the Bruce and the Harbor I want to move to Greenwich. La Taqueria authentic mexican cuisine was a hidden treasure. The fresh pressed strawberry margarita smelled like a strawberry field. You only need one, trust me. Topped perfectly with a dainty mint leaf. Exquisite. The half moon quesadilla was creamy and delectable. The beer battered cod was the best fish taco I have ever had. A street corn that was to die for, had to order 2 more to go. House fried tortilla chips that were perfectly salted, complimented the chunky guacamole and mild salsa. I give this restaurant location a 10/10. The service was superb and it felt like home. Thank you! read more

This place reminds me of the Greenwich version of Chipotle. The positive news is they look like they make everything fresh and put a lot of effort into it. Always nice to see. The tacos were pretty good especially the veggie one. Sometimes the vegetarian options are an afterthought but not here. The tortilla's tasted homemade and came in a blue corn version as well. I made the mistake of going healthy and ordering the salad. It wasn't the best and had a funky dressing to it. We also had the guacamole and it was pretty solid. Looks like they make it in advance and not to order but I guess with their volume that would be tough. The chips also tasted homemade and had a great crunch to them. They gave us a refill on chips a couple times. Cool spot where I would come back for a quick bite. It is a perfect spot for a nice lunch. read more

Visiting Connecticut from Miami and stumbled upon this place. At first, we were hesitant because we wanted something a little less casual and instead wanted a nice sit down experience. However, after deciding we wanted Tacos we stayed and were very impressed. The menu is small, just a variety of tacos (around the $3.50-$5 each range) A few traditional appetizers like chips and salsa, street corn, etc. and a salad bowl option and a chefs bowl option. I ended up ordering chips and guacamole, chicken tacos, crispy fish tacos, carnitas tacos, and a chefs salad plate. The tacos are well prepared and very simple in flavor, nothing too fancy or crazy. Just good fresh meat with a few seasonings and onions that create a very simple but delicious taco. The guacamole was fresh and the chips were crispy. The chefs plate (with chicken, rice, beans, salad, and guac) was a good but a little small spread of flavors that was well plated. Overall the food and presentation was not what I expected when I first walked into such a casual (but still pretty) establishment. But the food was well above average for the price and the service was great. Very pleased we found this gem to make our trip even more memorable. Ps. The bathroom is very clean and they have a few really good tequila options. read more

La Taqueria - 3 carnitas tacos and 1 steak taco - Tacos Near Me - Greenwich, Connecticut

MEH. I grabbed a carnitas taco for lunch today. It came with a floppy lime wedge which was cut too skinny to squeeze. The taco itself was a tad too thick and chewy. Good amount of filling, but it didn't really taste like much. As others have said, I agree the flavors here are toned down. Will return to try a different one soon, with the hopes that they improve their flavor profiles a bit. The ave could def use a good taco joint! read more

La Taqueria - bland taco - Tacos Near Me - Greenwich, Connecticut

So we've been waiting for this place to open because a) there's no Mexican/taco restaurant on the avenue and b) it's walkable from work. We were here on taco Tuesday. I ordered 2 tacos, the fish and carne asada and one of my coworkers got a guac to share. Not very many tables for a sit down meal but that's okay. The layout is a little strange. They have a bar seating which also has the salsas that are out on the open. Not a big fan of this. It's a hygiene issue imo. I asked the lady how big the tacos were and she said not very and she wasn't kidding. For $5 a taco, it is too small or maybe the pricing is too high for the amount of fish/meat you get. Also, need more garnish/filling other than cilantro. I guess I was hoping for it to be tastier. The taste was definitely toned down to please the less adventurous eaters of Greenwich. And then there's the guac for $9. It is maybe half or 3/4 an avocado, barely smashed and bland. Hopefully, this place will improve as we need diversity of restaurants on the avenue but who knows. Definitely not going back anytime soon. read more
