    Margarita

    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

    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!

    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.

We first discovered Coals when they had locations in New York. After those closed, we happily started making the trip to Connecticut because nothing else compares. We've even celebrated special occasions here because the restaurant is spacious, welcoming, and has such a great atmosphere. The service is second to none. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and excellent. Coals is always worth the trip, and we can't recommend it enough!

    First and foremost, Coals had several other locations and they shut down, but I'm honestly not sure…read morewhy (could be due to the stove necessary for making this specific type of pizza, just brainstorming here). My mom had insisted on going here on Mother's Day. Fortunately, their Connecticut location was open and we went. Bianca, I believe as a manager and was super accommodating with my mom's 100 questions haha. We started with one of the salads and the brussels sprouts. Both were great, but the brussels sprouts stood out to me. As for the pizza, we got the Margherita, Rustic, & Bayside. All of them were great, but the Bayside had to be my favorite. The pistachio pesto and goat cheese went very well together. The Rustic was a close runner up- mushrooms and truffle oil are always a match made in heaven. The Margherita was a classic but with the style of super thin, almost cracker-thin pizza I preferred the other two more. All in all, my family and I would definitely make it out to Norwalk again just for this place (& we live in Long Island). Thanks Bianca for making my Mom's day!

Popular menu items include birria tacos, octopus, shrimp ceviche, and steak chimichurri. My daughter and I visited here for her birthday, and we both love Latin cuisine. As we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats immediately. It was a chilly day, and the restaurant felt cold inside as well. The staff tried to warm things up with space heaters, but they didn't quite do the trick. We ordered empanadas, birria tacos, hanger steak, and sweet plantains with crema and queso fresco. When the dishes arrived, they were lukewarm--a bit disappointing, considering how cold it was outside. The birria tacos were delicious, though again, they could have been hotter. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, but I would have liked it a bit crisper. The hanger steak was tender, and the Pico de Gallo was bursting with flavor, pairing perfectly with the steak. It was nicely seasoned and had a good-sized portion. The empanadas were tasty, with flavorful and plentiful meat. The plantains were extremely delicious. The crema and queso fresco helped bring the whole dish together beautifully. The customer service was friendly, but the food could have been hotter; still, the flavors and seasonings were spot-on.

    Excellent food, service. Great happy hour deals. Huge portions. Love this place. Really great…read morefood.
