I recently embarked on a full taco tour of Willimantic, and La Mexicana Grocery and Taqueria seemed…read moreto be the highest rated place on Yelp. It is indeed both a taqueria and a market. There is a seating area within the market where you can eat your tacos. The area where you order food is functional, but completely lacking in aesthetics. The tacos were terrific though. I ordered a Bistec, a Pastor and a Chorizo. The meats were very good, especially the Pastor and the Chorizo. The tortillas were very good. And the homemade red and green sauces were great. The taco side of La Mexicana is a great place worth exploring. The Market side was cool too. You can basically buy better versions of most Mexican foods you would buy in a grocery store. Terrific tostada shells. Very good queso fresco. Very good condiments. I love exploring stores like that. Five Stars

They do have ample seating for such a small establishment. The food was fine, if a little bland. The chicken burrito included the usual toppings (refried beans, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, cilantro) but no noticeable cheese. No salsa or sour cream, just a tiny container of tomatillo sauce. To be fair, I did say "no jalapeños" when asked if I wanted everything on it. I ate half and took the other half home, where I doctored it up with lime juice, etc. to make it more flavorful. Again, it was fine, but not something I'd run back for. Also not the most economical choice. Two burritos and two bottled sodas cost $37 and change.

There are alcoholic drinks available. The food was alright. It's edible, but not the best. The quesabirria was very bland. It was just a tortilla with a thick rectangle chunk of cheese, and unseasoned steak. The consume tasted like a broth to a soup, slight flavor and very watery. The cecina was around the same. Steak felt overcooked and dry, but had a plethora of salt on it. The wrap was a room temp wrap that had premelted cheese. My meal did come with rice and beans on the side. We also got the chicken plate, it was alright. Nothing that made this stand out. Staff were attentive and nice, which makes you feel bad for how the food came out. Not a place I would come back to. If you're looking for good mexican food, just go down main street some more and you'll find Cordoba!

I recently started a deep dive of highly rated taco places in Willimantic, and A Mano Taco Shop is…read moreone of those places. A Mano has a different POV than the other Willimantic places I've tried so far. While the other taquerias I've tried are more or less traditional (Pastor, Bistec, etc. with cilantro, onions and a few other classic toppings), A Mano has a more modern and creative take on tacos. In terms of the Willimantic spots, A Mano is the most modern in terms of art and the space, which includes outside tables on a wood deck out front, and at least one small inside table. I'm not sure if they had additional seating in a different room or upstairs, but that's possible given the building design. I suspect they have a robust takeout business as well. I ordered a Pastor Taco, and a Sweet Potato Black Bean Taco. The corn tortillas were fresh made and very good. The tacos arrived with the small round tortillas mostly flat and side by side in a takeout container, and the toppings artfully displayed on top. The toppings were slightly different for each taco. The pastor taco had marinated pork, pineapple chunks, micro greens, and avocado based salsa. I ordered a Pastor taco at each Willimantic place. A Mano was the only one so far to feature pineapple chunks, which I really like for Pastor tacos. This sweetness was important for balancing the saltiness from the pastor. Without that sweetness, the flavors would have been out of balance. The pastor was tender. The avocado salsa was good. I like the use of microgreens for the color, shape and fresh flavor it brings. A definite way to distinguish your taco. I ordered the sweet potato black bean taco because I've never seen it on a menu and I was intrigued. I was expecting the sweet potatoes and black beans to be in pieces, but the presentation was actually puréed or at least stewed to a smooth texture. This taco was topped with the same micro greens and avocado salsa, but it had pickled red onions. This taco was well executed and looked great, but if I had known it was going to be puréed, I probably would have gone a different direction just based on personal preference. I like that A Mano has different toppings for different tacos. In addition to the above toppings, I noticed corn, cilantro, slaw, mango and more as different toppings on certain tacos. A Mano's menu features other cool things like Birria Ramen, Street Corn, loaded fries, churros, flan. It's definitely the type of menu you'd like to explore. Service was very friendly. Both service and the atmosphere are a factor in my 4.5 Star rating, which rounds up to 5 Stars. If I was just rating the tacos, the score would be 4.25 Stars.
