    Beef burrito,  not very big long or thick compared to chipotle. It came with lime yet the limes were dried up.

    I don't do food truck meals, too often, I went off reviews from other websites for the top burritos in my area, and this place popped up. One of my main base lines for Mexican food is a good burrito. Lots of variables what's considered a good burrito This is definitely food truck, connected to another food truck(look at picture). Told him my order over the phone. He took the order in very detailed manner and things they could come with it. My opinion, there weren't many/any beans, very little tomato and small round chunks of meat/chicken(not shredded which I typically get in restaurants). Sadly, the size and quality is definitely less than say a chipotle store. Exterior the truck could certainly use a good cleaning. But it does sit in a parking lot for a tire change place. The staff seemed incredibly nice and even with a cold snowy environment, there's still people there ordering. I'm going to enclose pictures of a chicken burrito without guac and a beef burrito without guac and let you decide.

    As always the best Mexican food truck in town. I've been here about 30+ times in the last few years. This business maintains excellent quality in both food and service.

    Solid, fast chicken burrito with excellent hot sauce. A bit of char on the tortilla. My go-to.

    A friend sent me this pic, sent me rushing over.

    We tried every taco and loved every bite. Their sauces and prices are amazing, too! Unfortunately, we're not locals here. If we were, we'd come here quite often.

    My order: Spicy Pork Burrito x2 Quesadilla (chicken x3; cheese x1) Shrimp Tacos x3 Chicken Tacos x5 Total bill: less than $60 (damn!) My experience: I loved the pork burrito. It was so goddamn amazing. The chicken quesadilla was also good. My friends had the shrimp tacos and they only had good things to say about it. I didn't enjoy the chicken tacos much so I'm taking a star for it. Overall, the value for the money was 6/5. This is my first time here and I was told this is the highest rated food truck in CT. The person who took our order was kind and patient given the length of the order. Since it was a pick and go only setup, there's not much to say about ambience.

    Best tacos in Norwalk and you can't beat the cheap prices. Who can beat $2.50 tacos and $7 burritos? I've been coming here for the past three years, and I've never had a bad meal. It's amazing authentic Mexican food that's full of flavor. They have a lot of options. Their tacos and burritos are my favorites. I suggest calling ahead, as they tend to get very busy.

    Authentic fresh tacos. Highly recommended! Not a great setup to actually eat there, especially in winter, but the spices and preparation are top notch. Whenever I go back to Connecticut I stop at El Azteca!

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.

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.

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.

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.
