Does this look like "No Pico" to you?
Abby R.

Put a to-go order in for about six items. They neglected one of them, despite it being listed on the ticket, and screwed up another, despite it being listed properly on the ticket. She didn't believe me and ASKED ME TO SEND HER A PHOTO OF THE MISTAKE. Then I drove back there and showed it to her and she refused to remake it correctly for free. Never. Again.

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
Lauren C.

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

I wish I liked this place more. I have been here many times now and I would not say they are dreadful or anything but I am not wild about them. I have tried with the nachos but I do not love the cheese they use and maybe it is just that I prefer my nachos prepared differently. For whatever reason, I am not wild about them. Their Tacos are not bad. And they offer outdoor seating which can be nice in the summer. They are a pretty small place although there are a few tables inside. It has a little decor but not much. I do not have Mexican on a regular basis but when I do I prefer a bigger place that's heavy on the atmosphere. The one thing I will say about Mex on Main is they are very reasonably priced and do come in handy as a quick to go place.

Colorful appetizer!

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!

During a recent visit to Trumbull Mall, my friend and I decided we had a taste for some Mexican…read morefood, so we went into Guacamole's. I had it once before and it was good, so I suggested he try it. I decided to try the Cheese Dip for an appetizer, since I love this same appetizer at another local Mexican restaurant. It was yummy goodness! Loved the jalapeño kick it had, and the restaurant makes their own chips, which is always a plus. For my entree, I had Combo #2, a cheese enchilada with a taco, plus rice and beans. It was good once again! My only complaint is not having a menu option for 2 enchiladas and being forced to have something else with a single enchilada. My friend had the Milanesa with chicken breast. He absolutely loved it, said it was very tasty. He enjoyed every part of his meal, appetizer to finish. My rating of 4 stars is based on my earlier mentioned complaint on the menu option, and also because I still prefer Puerto Vallarta when it comes to having authentic Mexican food. It's hard to find true authentic Mexican food in New England, and with me being from the Desert Southwest U.S., I know a thing or two about authentic Mexican flavors. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. The restaurant is beautiful with so much attention to detail. It was a true bummer that for a Saturday evening, it was dead. We saw only 4 other tables of people occupied during our visit, meanwhile Cheesecake Factory next door was full and buzzing. I truly hope Guacamole's gets more business soon.

I am very impressed with this new location of Guacamoles. A lot of thought went into it's design…read moreand interior. This was my first time here and I think the food is better than the Milford location. The portions are huge , the rice is properly cooked and seasoned and the atmosphere makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal and drinks, especially in the mall seating area. Well done Guacamoles and congratulations on your new location. I will definitely be back when in the Trumbull area.
