    Counter style ordering
    Renee T.

    We arrived around noon and there was only one other table eating at this cute, small restaurant. The restaurant was clean, tidy and we received a smile from the server behind the counter. I decided to try the Taco Salad and upgraded to steak for the protein. Johnny tried the blackened chicken burrito. So, orders placed and paid for, we go to sit down. For drink options, there really aren't many. There is a small glass case offering water and sodas, that's it. We grabbed our yeti's from the car and just drank our own waters. The food order once complete was yelled out loud (we are still one of two, 2 tops in the restaurant. Personally, I would have brought our food out but whatever. Mex on Main has a lovely salsa bar, probably the best part of our experience. Several different sauces (mild, medium and spicy as well as a green verde delicious sauce. Some tomatoes and onions marinated and pickled jalapeños. Please offer fresh jalapeños in the future. Johnny's blackened chicken burrito was pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked beautifully and moist and tender, but a little less chipotle sauce would be appreciated as just so much. Overall a solid B+ for the burrito. The steak taco salad sadly was not a star. They use iceberg lettuce and not much of it, some black beans, grated very cold cheese lol, a few tomatoes guacamole and sour cream. It's a small salad also so do not order it if you are very hungry. Honestly without the salsa bar, it was a sad fail, but after I added some spicy red salsa, some cholula it was better. This restaurant has the right idea, but needs tweaking. To fix the steak taco salad, we recommend a mixed bag of lettuce (baby spring mix and plenty of it) fresh jalapeños, cilantro, true pico (lime, fresh jalapeños, tomatoes, onions, cilantro), black beans or borracho beans, with the salsa of your choosing. The burrito was good, just less chipotle sauce and it would be cravable. We are definitely coming back because we are hoping it's a gem in the making.

    Chili Lime Salad

    So delicious! I always get the Chili Lime Salad and no matter the protein it's fresh, delicious, and so filling. Easy to get to in Trumbull. Delivery is always faster than they say, and friendly when ordering in person. The restaurant itself is cute too if you stop in for a bite and always clean and organized at the counter with fast service. Great variety and local Mexican food. Their empanadas as well as the queso and guacamole? So good!

    Burrito Bowl
    Anika T.

    Small little restaurant in a shopping plaza type of area plenty of parking. It is more like a fast food type of restaurant there are tables that you can sit and eat at but you order at the counter and wait for your food to come and then you sit down. We had a burrito bowl, taco salad and chicken burrito and churros. The taco salad was ok they use the same shredded lettuce for tacos as they do for salsa so the salad got quite mushy. The quac was very mushy too like it was squeezed out of a bag. We also order queso and chips I think this was the best part of the meal. Queso had a medium kick to it and was very nice and creamy and the chips were homemade. The burrito bowl was ok the chicken was good but the rice was super so dente. The chicken burrito was good but a bit small. Churros we're almost not edible as they were extra crispy and I feel they sat out a while maybe under a heat light. The staff was very nice and friendly They do take credit card and there is plenty of parking

    Fiesta Mexico - Chicken tacos

    My sister suggested this local spot, so we came here for dinner on a Saturday early evening. It's a…read moresmall, casual place. the service was good and the server was friendly. Most places serve complimentary nachos, this spot gives Chicharrones de harina instead, which was a hit at our table. It was my first time tasting that, it's a popular Mexican snack made from wheat flour that's deep fried until it puffs up and becomes light and crunchy, kinda like funnions chips when it comes to texture. I ordered the chicken tacos and they tasted authentic, served on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. There's also an option (for an upcharge) if you want to swap that for lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The food overall tasted fresh and flavorful. There were 3 different fresh salsas on the table, salsa verde being our favorite. As an appetizer we shared the chorizo loaded nachos, which had really good flavor. My cousin ordered guac and chips . it looked fresh, but for $9 I felt like the portion could have been a little bigger. I tried a bite of my man's chicharrón quesadilla and honestly it just wasn't for me. But for dessert we got churros and those were a highlight...fresh, crispy on the outside and soft in the center, generously sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I do wish they had dipping sauce options like Nutella, dulce de leche, or vanilla icing because that would take them to the next level. One thing that surprised me a little was being charged for extra lime, since that's something that's usually complimentary at most places. Before leaving I ordered birria tacos to go for my daughter at home, and my sister had the birria tacos as well. Overall, this is a nice little small local spot with friendly service and fresh food. I'll definitely be back to try their birria tacos!

    This was my 1st time trying this restaurant even though it's literally right next to my go to nail…read moresalon. I finally gave it a shot & It did not disappoint. I ordered my food to go but got to check the inside out while I waited. I chose birria tacos and a small rice & refried beans. The employee @ the counter was super nice & welcoming! She even noticed I was a 1st timer. Food took a bit b/c it was made to order & they were quite busy. Inside needed a little TLC but was overall clean. Even the bathroom smelled fresh which is a win. It smelled like abuela's house after she mopped w/ faboloso. When I got home I was delighted by how delicious the food was. The tacos were very meaty & savory! I loved that the shells were corn tortillas. It came w/ dipping sauce & green/red salsa. The rice & refried beans was scrumptious but it was a pretty small portion. I wish I ordered the large. As I digged deeper in the to go bag I found complimentary tortilla chips & dip! Def has my vote on authentic,delicious Mexican food. I'll be back like the Terminator!

    "Let's go down to the Sunset Grill We can watch the working…read moregirls go by" (Don Henley) The Trumbull Café & Grille is a nice breakfast and lunch joint three of us visited for lunch yesterday. Even though it has a White Plains Road address, you don't see it because it really isn't on White Plains Road. It's behind the main road, in a stand-alone plaza behind an office building. Or, as my nephew said, it's in a weird location. Their menu has a Mexican accent. I say that because their on-line menu features Breakfast Tacos, Huevos Rancheros, a Chili Omelet, an amazing sounding chorizo/serrano chilies/black bean concoction, three kinds of breakfast burritos, a Mollete, chilaquiles, a Cemita sandwich, two kinds of quesadillas, a chicken or beef burrito, and three kinds of street tacos. Oh, and let's not forget their two house-made salsas and three brands of hot sauce on your table. Now, I must mention that you should take their on-line menu with a grain or two of salt, because it has a November 2022 date on it and the listed prices are outdated, as my eagle-eyed nephew pointed out. Anyway, on to the food - which was great. We had Chicken N Waffles (served with Cabot butter and fried chicken strips, hot sweet chili and powdered sugar on top), Chocolate Chip pancakes, and Breakfast Tacos (Corn tortillas served with home fries, Monterey jack black beans, scrambled eggs, bacon topped with avocado salsa). The tacos were mine and they were stuffed with all of that aforementioned goodness. I could only handle two of them and just had the third for breakfast today. The chocolate chip pancakes looked great - drizzled with chocolate syrup and what seemed to be a chopped-up slab of solid chocolate perched on top. Likewise, the chicken and waffles looked great - a full-sized circular waffle served with two sizable chicken tenders. Service was very good, with a check-back and water refills, and the food came out fairly quickly. Our lump sum unitemized check was $50.45 so I can't compare the web prices to their actual prices, but rest assured the web pricing is lower (a reasonable assumption considering their web-posted menu was from November 2022). One more thing, when you pay by credit card, there is no place to add a tip. They encourage cash tipping. All in all, with the quirkiness aside, we had a very nice meal here.
