Nice latin ambiance and music. Casita feel. Love love love the street corn in a cup. And the tacos, delish but a little dry specially the shredded chicken . My apologies, they do have QR code for the menu. And they deliver through Door Dash. I'll still come back to this joint and probably ask for some cream or salsa for the tacos.

Absolutely fantastic food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, stop in here soon. Some of…read morethe best Mexican food in Connecticut is right in downtown Bristol and it is well worth the visit. The MangoPinapple drink was really refreshing. The chips are fresh and the salsa was great to start. The Birria Egg Roll starter was a unique and fun blend, very flavorful and special Pork Belly taco was cooked perfectly, good crunch that you'd want for pork belly. The portions are very generous, had to take half of our dinners home. But the enchiladas and chimichanga were both packed with flavorful meat! Too full to get dessert but we'll be stopping in again for sure to try some next round. Very clean, but a relaxed atmosphere and an awesome staff who were so nice and quick with our orders.

Sebastian told me about the drink special for the night and I tried it. Not only was it delicious but it was an imersive experience that was so fun and amazing. It came out in a closed box, when he opened it, it smelled fruity and floral. I got to take it out of the box myself. It was a cool experience and I enjoyed the drink so much I ordered two. Come and see Sebastian for a great experience!

OK. so this pains me to say but they changed everything and not for the better…read more so we love this place. Come here for birthdays, fun dinners, and anytime we want Mexican. walked in today for Father's Day and completely new menu. Seems like they are trying to go upscale and my best wishes for them just not feeling the vibe myself. The chips and salsa, which are always amazing is now replaced with a circle tortilla which looks fancy, but tastes rather bland. We ordered chips with queso just because we love their chips so much. Food was much smaller selection and was still pretty good definitely cut back on portions, which is fine. New drink menu is much smaller missing lots of the frozen drinks so I wish them all the luck just doesn't feel like this is a good old fun Mexican restaurant looks like they're trying to be something they're not

I walked into this place for a late dinner- they close at 10 but their kitchen closes at 945. The…read moreplace was spacious, with neon lights and floral decor, with a small, but perfect sized bar, where I sat as a solo diner. I called ahead to make sure they made their own michelada mix, which did not disappoint. It was more on the tangier side but delicious nonetheless. I got their chicken mole which came with white rice, different than any other mole dishes I've had before. Their white rice was some of the best I've ever had- to say the least. The refried beans were delicious (they served me tortilla chips with salsa and refried beans as soon as I sat down). The mole was a good sauce, certainly on the spicier side - hot and strong spice favor. Everything was good, I could see myself going back for a michelada and trying other things off their menu next time. I definitely won't pass up on their in restaurant fried tortilla chips, that's for sure, they were delicious. Thank you Loteria!

Okay, so at first, I wasn't planning to write any more reviews for the foreseeable future. Just…read morebecause I wrote one review recently didn't quite mean I was warmed back up to Yelp just yet, and if I'm being honest, I'm still not. Between a removed review causing me to go missing from Yelp for 6 months and losing my trust in posting my reviews here on Yelp, I let go of my Elite status and am now back to square one. But after driving my mom to Manor Inn so she could attend an event there, I decided to look up spots around there since I did spot that their wait times were going to be extensive. That's when I decided to go here and see what was good. Honestly, after I encountered the parking situations in both places and went into the restaurant, I knew I had made the right call. I was seated immediately, given a menu, and even given some complimentary chips, salsa, and a plate of refried beans sprinkled with some cheese. Now, refried beans and salsa are not foods I would normally eat because my food palette don't usually like those items. But with these tortilla chips, they were both very flavorful, and given this was complimentary, they were all the more appetizing. I should also mention that my waitress, Sayda, was very nice and prompt whenever she came to my table. Answered any questions I had, and had no problem with my orders. So from the menu, I went with the Tropical Twist, their Calamari for an appetizer, the tacos de barrio for dinner, and even ordered churros to go so I have something for when Winter Storm Fern dumps 80 million inches of snow tomorrow and into the next day. Oh, might I say, everything was delicious! I knew I couldn't have alcohol because I still had to pick my mom back up and then drive back home to Waterbury, but that Tropical Twist was a nice consolation if you can't have alcohol. The fried calamari was also another great choice. That dip it came with was so addictive it was like crack, and the perfect thing to pair with fried calamari. If there's one thing I would say could be improved, it's that they could be just a smidge more liberal with the fried coating. There were some pieces that had some small spots that had no coating at all, but nothing too major. For the tacos, MMM MMM GOOD! The meat was tender and flavorful, the presentation was great, and the consome paired deliciously with the tacos. It's definitely worth the $20 they cost. The churros were also pretty good. I can't say they were the best churros I ever had because the place that made my favorite churros ever closed down back in 2024 and had since become a dog grooming place, but if not for that, then I might make a case for that statement to be true. The chocolate syrup it comes with is divine and a nice sweet treat to finish off the night. I was in and out of the place in maybe a slight smidge above half an hour, so I would say all-in-all I'm glad I came. The place is also well decorated, bathrooms are clean, and the ambiance is inviting and casual. Now, I may still need to gatekeep a few reviews here and there, but this place was a step in the right direction in getting my confidence back in Yelp. I would definitely come back here again whenever I get a chance, and I highly recommend coming to check out this place if you're in the area. Oh, and for comparison's sake, it was an hour and a half between when I was finished here and when I could finally pick my mom back up again from Manor Inn. Take that as you will.

Decent tacos, nice staff, small stand…read more We were on the hunt for a good taco stand. Been to many, but wanted to find some diamonds in the rough. This place came up as one such place, so we made the trek. It's a small place, enough for a few people to stand and a couple of tables off to the side. This place is very much a to-go location. The cashier was very friendly answered our questions without any hesitation. We hit a smattering of tacos, a tamale and elote. Also done chips and guac. Food came out quick and we ate in the small parking lot in the car. The food is fresh and everything was seasoned correctly for authentic Mexican fare. The proteins were a bit overcooked and they needed sauce to make them more palatable. Their green sauce was spicy but vinegary but fresh and light and their roasted pepper sauce was smoky and much heavier on the heat. The tacos varied between overcooked and dry to just right but underseasoned. We had to tweak every taco to make it good enough. The sauces really helped though. The tamale was flavored masa and cooked well with large chunks of salty pulled pork. Was very tasty. The elote corn was still a little out of season but the mayo, spice, and cheese were spot on in portion and flavor. It's good, and very true to its roots. If they executed the proteins well and upped their spices then this would be a phenomenal spot. As it stands, it's a good taco spot for the area but not worth a trek.

I told the it was our first time there and the lady taking my order answered some questions I had with a smile. I ordered 1 cow tongue taco, 1 al pastor taco, a kids beef burrito and a steak burrito. The kids burrito is a great deal. You get a choice of a burrito or quesadilla and it comes with fries for 9 bucks. The lady was so humble she didn't even realize they had great reviews online until I showed her. Everything was good with my favorite being the burrito and the cow tongue and my least favorite being the al pastor (not that it wasn't good, it was just ok). The food was ready quickly and they even gave us 2 of their limeades on the house! Delicious btw I highly recommend their homemade limeade. It's so refreshing and sweet and the perfect compliment to the fat is and burritos. The food smelled so good even in the container lol. I'm def going to be a regular here.

Twas shortly before noon on a Saturday when my wife and I agreed that neither of us wanted to wait…read morefor taco Tuesday to arrive so I navigated a course that led us to Mr. Taco's doorsteps. The restaurant is situated on a side street just several burrito lengths from the Meriden Green where the farmers market was in process of concluding. On entering we were impressed by the size of the interior which was festively decorated as well as the number of employees though the acoustics proved to a bit distracting due to the loud music continuously being played. After a short wait a server arrived bearing at trio of menus, a basket full of taco chips and multiple enhancements. Meat options for the street tacos were not fully detailed, but when queried we were told both pollo and al pastor were available. We decided to share a quartet of the latter plus a pair of sodas. It took quite awhile for our meals to arrive so we took full advantage of the complimentary chips and salsas. It was during this period that I discovered the bottle marked spicy was indeed spicy so it was wisely ignored from that point forward. The tacos proved to be fresh and flavorful though the meat portion was under whelming and extremely dry. Our servers were uniformly pleasant though each step in the process from taking our order to obtaining a check took longer than either desired or required. A rating of 2.5 stars is deemed most appropriate.
