    The anomaly we should point out right away is that Speedy Tacos, a terrific little restaurant, is anything but speedy. And that's a virtue here, because it means that your order is prepared after you order it and isn't sitting in a microwave. Believe us, that makes a huge difference in the quality of your dish not to mention the taste. And that's a big reason why we give Speedy Tacos five stars. There are other reasons it is deserving, most notably the embracing service provided by the family. Truly, we are made to feel so welcome when we go in. It never fails to delight us and enhance the dining experience. And that dining experience has been very good every time we've gone in. The menu isn't exhaustive as in some larger Mexican restaurants. We'd call it a bit more limited though plentiful for most preference. Our favorites? Start with the ceviche, one of those dishes that is prepared when ordered; the octopus is so tender and freshly prepared. Just right! The Fajitas de Pollo comes in cheese, yummy with the sautéed peppers and onions. The tacos, your choice, are delicious, the meats perfectly cooked. The sides are huge (one serving of rice seems large enough for an entire table). Lots of their business is take-out. But there are tables and a bar inside, and we enjoy dining there. The mariachi music is a delight (if it annoys you you'll likely find it is quickly tuned out), but mostly it's being around the pleasant management. Prices are not on the inexpensive side, but the servings are quite substantial, and given the quality of the food and the overall vibe here, we'd have to call it a bargain. So, yes, we're fans. big fans. Speedy Tacos is located in the Staples shopping area, the one with a TJ Maxx, Ninety nine, etc. We urge you to stop by.

    Very cute, Speedy Tacos is located in the Staples plaza. It's much roomier then it looks, with a few places inside to eat. There are coolers with drinks and desserts, flan and tres leches cake. Both are good and hold their taste for a few days. They also have a coffee station with a place to hold business cards. Speed Gonzalez is also featured on their menu and wall for added cute factor!

    Stoped in for lunch on a Saturday after hearing some buzz on Instagram. The refried beans were excellent, the tacos are served street style, minimal toppings, and tasted amazing. The quality is great, everything was fresh, and the staff were lovely. It has indoor seating that's small but clean and they offer takeout. The prices are great, and it's conveniently located in downtown Torrington with plenty of free parking.

    -Great, friendly service -Delicious homemade food -Fast and fresh Will definitely be going back to try more of their offerings!

    A great meal once again! Everything I've tried so far from the tacos to the taco bowls, quesadilla and fajita have been excellent! And the service is amazing!

    This is their enchiladas X3. If you don't want the beans and rice, for the same price, you get X4.

I do have stomach problems, but this is really the only restaurant that doesn't sit well with me after eating. The bar area was nice, and it was really convenient that we could eat out after the big snow. Overall, I am not going to this restaurant again to avoid future stomach issues. But if you don't have stomach problems then I would recommend this restaurant for you.

Sara the waitress a huge shout out to her she was absolutely amazing. So with the help of Sara and in laws I found something that I can order that won't send me to the emergency room, it was a quesadilla steak with cheese and on the side was cheese rice. So I never had a quesadilla before so I don't know how to compare it to anyone else but all I can say is delicious, the cheese rice I couldn't put the fork down it was so yummy. I took a picture of everyone else's plate but I forgot the names but when asked they said it was good, the really long plate one though was a little spicy according to my in law. The Outside was a cute Yellow building walking in was also yellow, it was pretty cute for a little place. Only because of my food allergy I really won't be back,but please try the place out.

    Checked out Salt 2.0 for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Harvest Bowl and it was…read moresolid--fresh ingredients, nice flavors, and a good portion. What really caught me off guard was how big the space is. From the outside, I assumed it was just a sandwich spot, but they actually have a full bar and a pretty expansive setup inside. It wasn't very busy when we went--actually, we were the only ones there--which made the atmosphere a little quiet for lunch, but that also meant quick service. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu or maybe swing by when it's a bit more lively.

    We had a family event at Salt 2.0 this past weekend. If you visit this restaurant keep in mind that…read morethere is no restaurant dedicated parking, you have to either park on the street or find a lot nearby; not ideal on a cold day but this isn't the restaurants fault; just something to be aware of. That being said we arrived and there wasn't really anyone in the main restaurant but the bartender was friendly enough. Unless it's an off peak time on a weekday, that's usually a potential cause for concern for me. I can't comment too much on the service since a few staff members just came by to help clean up and we didn't have the normal patron experience since it was an event hosted by the restaurant. Instead of going with the tacos or the enchiladas, which looked like they had been sitting around contemplating life for a while, I just kind of made a bit of a salad with ingredients. It was fine enough, not something I would personally spend money on. The best way I could describe the food would be hangover food. If you had a night of drinking, this could be a spot you might head to instead of fast food if they're open late. If you're looking for authentic Mexican this is not the place to go, unless you prefer Tex-Mex I suppose. Either way I wouldn't recommend this place based off our recent experience.

My parmesean Wings and buffalo wings were good. My strawberry Margarita tasted like syrup. My mac and cheese bites weren't flavorful and was heavily breaded. What upset me the most was the service. I called in advance about happy hour they told me 3-7. I get there and told the waitress and she said its 3-6. I showed her my phone on when I called and the manager even said 3-7. She went back and forth with her own manager in front of patrons which was super unprofessional about it. Which is wild because shes making jt seem like the money is coming out of her pocket personally in regards to happy hour. Ambiance was chill I dont really have any complaints. Im not in that area often but I'll try other places before going back.

Staff is so friendly and the head chef and owner came out to check the dining room. So nice to dine at a local business instead of a chain restaurant.
