Margarita
Paola C.

Food was really good- we got the Birria tacos and sopes! My only downside would be pricing- everyone on the menu was on the pricier side, especially for what is offered at other restaurants around here.

Unfortunately, this place did not do it for me. My tacos were put together well, however, the chicken kind of tasted like it was a coated with I think it was based in mayonnaise (most likely not!!!) and the toppings did not blend in to make it one cohesive flavorful bite. I did order other sides to go with my tacos and I typically order the same things my first time around for any restaurant and nothing was expressly delicious. Good yes, but I will not be back here anytime soon. I believe that people should try restaurants. So by all means go. Now as far as service, I did order to go. When you walk in the inside has great ambience and the place was pretty. I wished I could have stayed. Just inside the door is a wall or doors and there is no sign to tell you which way to go. So go left. The server or manager, the person that checked me out, was awesome. He double checked my bag make sure everything I ordered was in it. Payment was seamless. I left him a tip they were not super busy but they were busy and he was steady moving about ever so gracefully. I wish I liked this place more, as I do frequent the area, but maybe one day I'd go again I don't know yet.

Chips & Salsa
Catt S.

This was my first time at Mex Spot and I have to say every dish we ordered was wiped clean! We started off chips and salsa that was complimentary I assume as it came out without saying anything. Chips tasted fresh, the salsa was good but extremely mild for me (I prefer spicy things but maybe great for others who don't have a tolerance for spice) . Then we got guacamole and asked for it spicy which was heaven. Sometimes when you request at restaurants to make something spicy they're hesitant but I was so happily surprise when it came with plenty of jalapeños to give it just the right kick! We were also given two different sauces in squeeze bottles, both had a bid of spice the brown one being spicer then the green. For our entrees we got quesadilla w/Chorizo and chicken fajitas both stellar dishes. I can't wait to come back, the service and ambiance are great for getting together with friends or family and catch up as it wasn't too loud so you could hear each other.

Passion fruit margarita
Alicia V.

First time trying this place. Was pleasantly surprised that everything we had was well presented and had good taste. We went for a quick lunch during the day and happen to make HH time and that was a nice touch to have half off our margaritas which also were good. The mango flavor wasn't my favorite but other wise no issues. Our food was really good and the chicken fajitas were on point and had very good flavor. Service was good. It was empty at the time we went but it was also during the workday. Small place but cute Mexican place. Compared to a few other places near in the area the food was way better.

Been here twice now and everything that we had ordered has been so delicious! Easy to miss when you're driving to the place for the first time. No name visible from the street. Definitely a must try for some authentic Mexican food!

Birria Tacos
Evie M.

Birria tacos are PHENOMENAL! Best I've ever had, flavor was spot on and the hot sauces they have are amazing-loaded with flavor. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant gives homey vibes. 10/10 recommend this joint!

Horchata
Xenia L.

We went on a Saturday evening and it wasn't super busy so we got seated right away. Everyone was super friendly! It felt SO homey, made me feel like I was at home and my mom or dad had cooked for us . They had good music playing too. I had the horchata which was a good balance- perfect amount of sweet and cinnamon. The guac was very delicious; you could taste the freshness and the lime. The chips were also good. They didn't have any salt on them and they were crunchy and not too oily.the quesadilla was really tasty and super cheesy. We got it with chicken inside and consomé on the side which made a great dipping sauce. I had the angry birria ramen which was so delicious. I have been dying to try birria ramen because it's super trendy- and mex spot really HIT the spot!!! Lastly, the elote loco... my goodness.. this was the best elote loco I have had yet!! The lime was sour and and all the toppings made it so flavorful! The corn was on a stick which made it super easy to eat and honestly I wish I ordered a second one ! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place. It is pretty small and they don't seem to have too many customers which is sad because this is definitely a hidden gem in Norwalk!

Chicken fajitas
Rachel S.

Such a cute and cozy spot in Norwalk! The decor was adorable! The gentleman working was extremely attentive and quick. Guacamole and chips were great. Chips to guac ratio was good. Beef burrito was very flavorful. Chicken fajitas came with four tortillas and plenty of sides. A must try to make this a Norwalk staple!

Luis M.

Food was great but the curtains are a blasphemy and a hate crime! Server was helpful and attentive. Better than most Mexican food in Connecticut!

Wasn't my drink, but certainly looked tasty

I went for a quick lunch on a Tuesday.at suggestion of local town person. Must say a very inviting environment. Just had 3 different samples from bartenders suggestion on 2 of them. Incredible friendly and perfect service by fellow bartender who was busy with multiple customers inside and outside. Ever meal or drink that passed me was beautifully designed. We even talk details of their very "fun" liquor collection.

What a great little gem and so local. Delicious food great service and simply a greatly decorated and comfortable place. No liquor license as of yet but tole coming. BYOB easy as liquor store is their neighbor. Food is fresh and delicious. Recommend the rice dish with chorizo, mussels, and more!!!!!

Birria Tacos very flavorful and tasty. I t would have been better with a side of rice and beans.

My fiancé and I went to Rincon for lunch yesterday. The food did take a bit longer than we expected…read morefor a not-so-busy, rainy afternoon around 2:45 pm, but it was absolutely delicious as always, so it was worth the wait. As vegetarians, we really appreciate their vegan meat options. The portions are always very generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Rincon continues to be one of our favorite spots for a satisfying, veggie-friendly meal.

Rincon Taqueria in Norwalk, CT is one of those places you almost don't want to talk about because…read moreit feels like a secret. The food, vibe, and service are all on point. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and really informative. They're happy to walk you through the menu and make recommendations based on what you like. It's also surprisingly vegetarian- and vegan-friendly, they offer vegan meats so you can swap them into a lot of the classic dishes, which is rare for a taqueria. The food is outstanding. Even the free chips and salsa they start you with are memorable: the chips are fresh and super crunchy, and the salsa has real depth of flavor, not just heat. The entrées are some of the best value around, the burritos are massive (one could easily feed two or three people), and for takeout, the quesadillas literally come in a pizza box, which tells you everything you need to know about portion size. Their appetizers, queso, and house-made hot sauce are all excellent and full of flavor, not just spice. Most times I've been, the service has been fast, even when they're busy. The interior is clean, colorful, and decorated with authentic touches, so it feels fun and relaxed whether you're dining in or just grabbing takeout. If you're searching for great Mexican food in Norwalk, big portions, vegetarian/vegan options, and friendly service, Rincon Taqueria is easily one of the best spots around. Highly recommend.

My friend and I went out for lunch and we decided to go to Bandido Mexican Restaurant. As we…read moreentered the establishment, it was empty which I didn't mind. We were handed the menus immediately and the waiter poured us a glass of water. I ordered the Birria Tacos and my friend ordered the Steak Fajitas. The food came out in about twenty minutes and the Steak Fajitas came out sizzling and my Birria Tacos looked amazing. The Birria Tacos were filled with tender meat, great flavors, and seasoned to perfection. The only con I would have to say about the Birria Tacos were that they could of been cruncher and I really don't like Corn Tortillas because it leaves that corn taste in your mouth, and there kind of grainy. I would have preferred it to be on a Flour Tortilla. My friend said her Steak Fajitas were delicious. We even talked about the food the next day to plan another day to go back. The customer service was great and the staff were friendly and outgoing.

Overall a good experience and I will be back. I'd like to try their night life sometime as well, I…read moreheard it was good. For starters, the margaritas were very good and nice and strong. They had a lot of unique flavors and the prices were about industry standard. The food was a little above average. Not as good as some of the places in the Danbury area, but much better than the others in Norwalk. The rice was very good and the beans had a unique presentation and traditional vibe. The food seemed good quality and had a nice taste. The people were super nice. I really liked all of them. They were very genuine and wanted to help and offer great service! The prices were about average for the area. The ambiance was interesting. It actually reminded me a lot of the hole in the wall places I saw back in Mexico. It's nothing special, but not bad. You can tell it's designed to turn into a dance club at night though. So the tables and chairs are kind of run down. Overall very good and I'll come back.
