I went during the winter while it was still cold, and every time that door opened or closed, it was brutal! Now that it's warm, I'll have to return for a better experience. My friend and I shared an order of the strawberry and banana pancakes. They were fluffy and topped with sooo much fruit. I ordered the California Benedict. I loved it. She ordered an omelette. Both came with your choice of bread for toast and homefries. I really liked that the fries were not greasy at all! I heard that they have a patio during the warmer months, so that is nice to hear. If you enjoy typical diner food with a Mexican twist, I suggest you give this restaurant a try.

I've been by this place thousands of times in the 17 years I have lived in Waterbury, but not once…read morehave I ever walked in here. Until today that is. You can certainly see they serve a lot of food, and you can see the combo deals from the outside looking in as well. That being said, anyone who's never been in here before might get a little confused on what to order, and I still had some confusion on how to order food even after I had made a decision. Also, being that it is on the corner that separates West Main from Willow, trying to get any kind of parking spot poses an inherent risk. Therefore, the only people I would really recommend try to come here would be people who either already live in Waterbury or are used to inner-city environments from similar cities. They do have another location on East Main if you are uncomfortable coming to this location, but at least here you can't really miss it. What I will say in this restaurant's favor is that the portions sizes are huge, the food comes out hot, and the combo deals comes with a 2-liter bottle of soda. Example of this includes what I got today, which was their BBQ rib Combo, where I did white rice and chose the Fanta Orange for my soda. My combo comes with a container of baked beans, the aforementioned rice and soda, and also a salad that comes with a dressing. So for my thoughts, let's start with the positive: the rice. Rice was cooked to a good temperature. Wasn't crunchy or mushy. The container was also enough that I will have enough for at least a few days. Maybe even the better part of the next week. The ribs were alright. They weren't outstanding ribs, but they'll get the job done if you need some cheaper, smaller ribs. You can definitely get better ribs if you go to an authentic BBQ spot, and I would still eat Hindsight's ribs, or maybe even the ones from Texas Roadhouse, over this any day of the week, but in a pinch I could eat these ribs again. I was not a fan of the beans. Now, I never was big into eating baked beans to begin with, so I know I am not the most qualified to talk about this. That being said, my time in Yelp has introduced me to new dishes I otherwise would never choose, and there have been other restaurants who have introduced me to a new dish and have won me over to that dish. In the 2020's alone, I have taken likings to Crab Rangoons, Lomo Saltados, dim sum, and even bubble teas. Unfortunately for this location, the beans tasted like they were even more heavily processed than Bush's baked beans. If I were trying find good baked beans, then I would need to keep looking. I do like the convenience of this place and the portion sizes. That said, if I do order from here again, I would need to change how I place my orders a slight bit to see what else I can try.

Cazuela is hands down one of the best Hispanic restaurants in Waterbury. No matter what you order…read more-- chicken, pernil, fish, or even a big picadera platter -- everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked with authentic, homemade flavor. Their pernil is juicy and tender, the chicken is always well-seasoned, the fish is fresh and perfectly fried, and the picadera is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any get-together. Whether you're stopping by for lunch or hosting a party for family and friends, Cazuela truly delivers. And the best part? They're just as reliable through Uber Eats as they are in person. The food always arrives hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Cazuela always has your back delicious food, generous portions, and service you can count on. A must-try for anyone who loves real Hispanic cuisine!

The buffet offerings is a long line of dishes, so long that there's no way to see everything they have to offer before making a decision. I was only able to capture a small portion on video because I was being crowded by other ppl. There's definitely no time to ask questions and there are no labels saying what the various dishes were. Then when I thought it was my turn, the rude lady started helping the woman after me. Others were helping the ones that chose to not stand and wait but rather just walk up. When a young lady took pity and helped me, I just ordered the chicken soup because I was over the whole chaotic situation. If I wasn't so hungry I would have just left. Then waiting to pay I saw my love, Pernil, at the front of the line near the register. I would have loved to try it but knew I wouldn't get help plus I was over this place. My friend was over it too and just didn't order anything. Soup came with rice. It was fine but nothing to make me come back. My food was automatically packed to go, but I sat at a booth to eat. There are enough booths and tables there to eat, but I don't think they offer table service, at least on this day they didn't seem to. I just didn't enjoy the vibe here. Some of the workers are intense, rude, and clearly dont like their job. I like good customer service and I hate being rushed but the culture here just is what it is.

Very basic, bland, no spice, really no cumin or any type of spices on the meat itself. It came with salsa and sour cream instead of dressing. Black olives were listed on the menu, but I didn't get any. If you're looking for authentic and flavorful, I'd skip it.
