    Caipirinha
    Kelly Y.

    Mexcla is a great addition to the restaurant scene in Newtown. It has a fun vibe with the table lay outs and cool bar area. We had a late lunch here a few weeks ago and enjoyed everything from drinks to appetizers and entrees. The tableside guacamole was especially fresh and good! Empanadas and the accompanying sauce were also very good! Service was friendly and prompt as well.

    Eight percent charge for using a credit card.

    Beware. I didn't see it in the online menu. I didn't see it in the actual menu. I didn't have cash. I was charged over eight percent for using a credit card. I had the paella. The rice was overcooked and mushy. It was as if they used the same rice that was used for rice and beans (which came with my wife's order) and cooked it again for the paella. My wife had the fajitas. It came with three small tortillas for a decent amount of filling. Six tortillas would have been an appropriate number. I don't know anyone who likes to eat the shells on the tails of shrimp. For some reason, that's how the shrimp were served. It also seemed like they didn't have a waiter assigned to our table. It took almost fifteen minutes for someone to take our drink order. On the otherhand, the sweet plantains were really good. Really, really good.

    Guacamole and Salsa.

    Pleasant place with very good food. Table made Guacamole is plentiful and to order of spiciness. Tacos well filled and a good value. Service friendly, just a little inexperienced.

    My tacos after eating 2, and mug with my modelo beer

    Went mex after church services, went in and was seated immediately, chips and salsa arrived immediately. Ordered modelo beer and steak tacos, service was really good and beer was paired perfectly with the tacos. Overall a really good experience.

    What a great place! Margaritas, service and Fajitas are outstanding! Guac too. Covered outside seating is a really nice touch too.

    Friendly staff, really solid salads and well crafted thin crust pizzas set this establishment apart…read morefrom your garden variety "pizza joint." Atmosphere, too, is more "pub" than fine dining, but very much in line with what one would expect from this style establishment. Prices, especially by Fairfield County standards, are very reasonable. We will continue to frequent for sure when in the area.

A stone fireplace anchors the space while low, ambient lighting, wood tables, and leather seating create an intimate, inviting atmosphere. I was excited to learn that the bar featured Misguided Spirits' Howe & Hummel vodka from New York City. Stirred, it produced a martini with a subtle sweetness and a hint of cracked pepper, served in a classic cocktail glass with an angular bowl and slender stem. The design felt timeless, keeping the drink chilled while offering a crisp, polished presentation, with the Castelvetrano olives taking center stage. When it comes to the food, I have no notes. The wings were perfectly seasoned, with meat that fell off the bone; the Bibb salad was fresh and dressed beautifully with house lemon oil; and the thin, crispy pizza lived up to its name, with bright sauce and fresh toppings. This is a spot you won't want to leave and one you'll be eager to return to, familiar, fun, and full of character.
