    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.

    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

The atmosphere is awesome--warm, rustic, and "Southwest" in a way that feels intentional, not cheesy. It's the kind of spot that works for a fun night out, a date, or just grabbing dinner when you want something that feels elevated. The staff was also a standout: friendly, genuinely helpful, and fast without feeling rushed. They were on top of everything. And the food... honestly, that's what steals the show. The tableside guacamole and salsa are a must--fresh, flavorful, and it adds a cool little "event" to the meal. Everything we had felt gourmet for Mexican cuisine, like real care went into ingredients and execution. I'm vegetarian, and I was pumped about how many options there were that didn't feel like an afterthought. The flavors were bold, the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and it just hit that sweet spot of "comfort food" but done right. If you're looking for Mexican/Southwest food in Fairfield, this is one of the best spots around. I'll definitely be back.

Tonight I had two chicken enchiladas with red Guahillo sauce, and topped with sour cream, diced green onions, and queso fresco. Wow. the flavors! It also came with rice (very flavorful) and black beans (amazing). A real fulfilling and generously filling meal for less than $15. My wife had a black bean burrito. It was huge. She loved it, but only ate half of it. For less than $10. I will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I wonder why some reviewers were not very happy. Perhaps their point of reference is Taco Bell, or some other Americanized Mexican style food. Viva Mexicali Rose!

I have also tried their crunchy tacos, which are also very good but I will say they do not travel that well and are better to eat there. If you're looking for a no-frills Mexican spot that won't break the bank, this is the place for you.

    Road trip to Boston…read more.. Needless to say it was a Friday afternoon and traffic was a pain from the start. A quick little yelp search and we had an instant detour for some sustenances, while we let the other motorist continue on their way. Bodega, located in a small little shopping strip, is also small and quaint. Not much wiggle room so be prepared to be neighborly. We arrived half past 4, just in time for HH @ the bar. So we grabbed some seats at the end of the bar where Alex the bartender took care of us. We started with Passionritas (passion fruit margs) and guacamole. Both were equally delish and the guac is bowl licking worthy. However, I do not recommend since you are dinning in public. Lol. In addition we ordered the bodega blistered brussels sprouts and baja tacos to share. The sprouts were an absolute stand out. I opted for the Mexico City Ceasar Salad with Salmon. Presented slightly deconstructed, which didn't take anything away from the great taste. We had an absolute great experience from Alex our bartender whom was very impressionable to Diego (possible manager) whom also made a nice impression. We tried a few more margs before our departure. With the hibiscus being one of my faves. A wonderful spontaneous detour, that will now be a welcomed stop on future road strips north. Just A Note: - HH @ the Bar only (Tues-Fri 4-6pm) - You can take Bodegaritas to-go they have them bottled for sale.
