My husband and I were looking for dinner while we were on S Colony Road, so we decided to take a chance on Taqueria Mexico. I'm so glad that we did! We wanted something quick and easy while still supporting local, and this was perfect. We dined in and the tacos were at our table in under 5 minutes. They brought over homemade sauces too! Delicious quesadilla and we loved the variety of tacos we picked out. Double shelled too so you know it's legit! Possibly the best and most authentic tacos in Wallingford. No frills but 10/10 food and service! read more

Best tacos in Wallingford by farrrr! Food is always fresh and flavorful! Great staff as well!

After spending a long day in Wallinford, I found this place and decided to try their food. The service was excellent and fast. We ordered 4 tacos and 1 burritos and all the food was ready in less than 5 minutes. The taco portions were good, with enough meat and 2 Street tortillas style. They have different options of meats. They all taste good. The burrito was super tasty and homemade. Better than chipotle for sure . The ambience was casual and sometimes the place gets super busy @ lunch time. Definitely this Mexican place worth the trip to Wallinford. Go try it. read more

Some of the best Mexican food around. You know it's good Mexican food when you see Mexican and South American customers there almost everyday. read more

The food here was generally pretty good. We had the tacos Al pastor which were pretty good and so were the carnitas tacos. The horchata was horrible and tasted like it was made from powder. The service was adequate. The ambiance was like a small cafeteria. It was clean and well kept. I had higher expectations for the food quality but it was solidly Average.... read more

Taqueria Mexico - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

I was compelled to update my five-year old review after dining here approximately twice weekly throughout that same time period. Nestled just off route 5 in Wallingford, an unassuming gem awaits the discerning palates of true connoisseurs of Mexican food. Taqueria Mexico beckons those who drive by with an orchestra of menu items that have fresh ingredients and hearty fillings every day of the week. Beginning with the chorizo tacos, you find yourself enjoying an incredible mix of delectable flavors. A delicate dance between the assertive kick of chili and earthy embrace of herbs paints an artful portrait on your palate. Then, a true marvel unfurls with their barbacoa burritos; within these perfectly soft tortillas lie the whispered secrets of slow-cooked meats and seasoning. Tender shreds of barbacoa weave a tale, each bite bursting with flavor, and showcasing the dedication of the staff working at this amazing taqueria. Next, the grande nachos, an expanse of delight that has a palette of flavors which converge into a kaleidoscope of textures - crispy chips, melted queso, jalapenos, beans, and a cascade of toppings which perfectly traverse the spectrum from fiery to fresh. Each chip, a vessel of indulgence, provides a plethora of sensations playing upon the taste buds. It's a sprawling masterpiece, an ode to conviviality and shared moments of unabashed enjoyment between family, friends, or even when you're flying solo. Taqueria Mexico stands as a testament to the power of flavors that linger, to culinary artistry that dances between tradition and innovation. Each dish speaks volumes in whispers and shouts, inviting you to partake in a narrative spun with elegance, heart, and an unwavering commitment to the craft of cooking this style of fare. As you step back into the world beyond, the echoes of these flavors continue to serenade your senses--a lingering memory of a journey that was--beckoning you back with its siren song, unsatisfied until you return again. read more

Got a Carne Asada burrito & my friend got a quesadilla! Green (mild) salsa at the table & also a red (hot) option. Hot option is pretty fire but also hotter than I expected. (They did warn us) Tried the guava soda & our food was ready quickly and was very yum!! Pretty busy around 2:00pm today (Saturday) & would come back :) would love to the the tacos next time! read more

Run, don't walk, to Taqueria Mexico. This place is operated by a family who provide simple Mexican food, served as Mexicans would have it. Two or three tacos should be plenty for lunch; the price is right for this fresh and flavorful food. My favorite tacos are al pastor, lengua and barbacoa. Don't forget jarritos to drink and authentic mexican ice cream for dessert. read more

Taqueria Mexico - awesome tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

good food and nice cozy dining area! very nice place if you like authentic mexican food, the steak tacos were amazing. no long waits and service was as you would expect, quick and easy. read more

I stopped in here for dinner while in the area with my husband and seeing the amazing reviews online. You would drive by and not necessarily notice it, but I highly recommend stopping in! We were able to easily park in the lot right outside and walk in to place an order. The options were great and there were many different meat options to try out. I got 3 tacos and my husband got a burrito. All fantastic and extremely reasonably priced. The meat was well cooked, well seasoned, and the folks inside quick to serve. The food was so good we even took a burrito to go! read more

Wallingford is flavor deprived. Went to a tap house and ordered a brisket sandwich to get meat with the consistency of jello. Hotel continental breakfast served runny eggs and breakfast sausage without the sugar, black pepper, caraway and other spices that make it a welcome treat in the morning. Tasted like liquified cartilage with the dryness of cardboard (Insert Movie advertisement voice) Wallingford needed a superhero, someone to bring flavor and seasoning to town that doesn't have it. Chefs and staff that keep the kitchen and dining area clean...Fabuloso clean. (End advertisement) After eating in this city for two days and walking into this restaurant; I, in that moment, realized how England ,France, Spain and Portugal must have felt around 1500 when the trade routes opened up and they started receiving spices .... All I'm saying is this the staff at Taqueria Mexico is doing the Lord's work Burrito was a little dry but the Salsa Rojo more than made up for it. If I had one critique for this restaurant I would say to always plate your food and bring it out piping hot, my burrito was room temperature but still delicious. One burrito and 4 tacos for 26 bucks ( the price is right) Go and check these guys out, they deserve your business Buen Provecho read more

I just had an amazing dinner! I have been to a few "high end" Mexican restaurants in the last year and spent a small fortune. This place blew them all out of the water!!! I wasn't starving so settled for a quessidilla which tickled all my taste buds! We were greeted with a smile and served almost immediately. No twinkling lights and fancy tableware but the food is worth the sacrifice of a fancy spot! read more

Great authentic taste!!!! This is just a little restaurant, I recommend take out only , not a great place to enjoy a meal. Small menu but big taste! Fast service for take out, great place to try different items and explore. read more

Taqueria Mexico - We bought our are tacos to the Vineyard........ - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

Meh it wasn't bad but there wasn't anything I'd come back for either. It's a small clean place that offers a variety of burritos, quesadillas, Tortas and tacos. We got the milanesa de res torta and 2 al pastor tacos and 2 carnitas tacos. The tacos just come with onions and cilantro. No lime??? I need lime for my tacos! The carnitas taco lacked flavor and the al pastor was more flavorful but didn't really taste like other al pastor I've had. The torta my boyfriend said was ok, he liked the bread but didn't like the beans that kept falling out of his sandwich. The sauces they provided were good though! Very spicy and flavorful. We get this same order at 2 other taco places closer to us (one down the road and one in Meriden) and we both agreed the others were much better. So needless to say we probably won't be back as there wasn't anything that outshone the others. read more

This place is awesome! Very fast service and very delicious food. I tried the steak quesadilla and chicken and steak tacos. All of the food was served quickly and very flavorful. Tacos were small so if you are really hungry 2 might not be enough. The employees were very nice as well! Highly recommend. read more

Get their tortas or their burritos (or really anything else) and you won't be disappointed. I think they have some of the best burritos around by quite a bit - even the vegetarian one is really great. read more

I so love this place and can have their food every single day without getting bored. The owner who also works at the place is super friendly. I secretly wish to steal their rice and bean recipes, not to forget the lip smacking sauces . I mostly opt for no cheese rice bowl or burrito. Being a vegetarian, I guess this might be the only place I rate this high despite the fact that it is not a vegetarian place. read more

Friendly, quick, and excellent authentic Mexican food. No frills environment but clean and appropriate. Had three tacos (carne asada, chorizo, and carnitas), and it was plenty and tasty. Can't beat the prices either. read more

Real Mexican best tacos, hidden gem must try. Staff is great, salsa is fresh and spicy!

This place is awesome! They have good vegetarian options and always listen to your specifications. They also have jarritos and Mexican candies. Definitely recommend. read more

Excellent! Quick service, fresh, authentic and tasty. Not many veggie options but they can probably do a rice and beans burrito.

Excellent authentic Mexican food. If you order ahead it is ready in 5 minutes. I ordered tres tacos con arroz y frijoles. ¡Muy delicioso! Perfect amount of food for lunch. read more

Have come here a couple times over the last few years and the food & service have markedly improved. The Milanesa tortas are delicious.

This, in my opinion, is the most authentic Mexican food that I've had to date. While in the area and looking for a local eatery, I came across this restaurant in my Yelp search. This is a very small restaurant that is not fancy at all. There are some tables and chairs to sit but I'd assume they do way more in take out. I tried the tacos and quesadillas- beef barbacoa, steak and al pastor. The flavor of the tacos and quesadillas were just out of this world. Simple but bursting with flavor. I'd imagine this is what food from the street carts in Mexico or California tastes like. The tacos did not come with cheese, just cilantro and fresh diced onions and the quesadillas came with a creamy cheese grilled in. The service was really friendly and there seems to be a small assortment of Mexican groceries for sale. I will be back any time I'm in the area. read more

Taqueria Mexico - Carne Asada and BBQ Pork taco with mild salsa - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

Taqueria Mexico serves up arguably the best tacos in Wallingford. It's undoubtedly one of the top 3 choices in the Meriden-Wallingford area. I usually opt for the chicken tacos with cheese and cilantro minus the onions. The chicken is made with a nice flavorful seasoning. Th e tostadas are also really good. The rice and beans are excellent. The hot sauce is amazing so make sure you try it. Definitely check it out. read more

Being from Los Angeles and my daughter attending school in CT this is a must for those wanting a good taco. We've been her twice and as of now have not been disappointed. They also have Tortas, quesadillas and many more . Their pastor is very good. read more

Since I was already in the Wallingford area, I decided to stop by Taqueria Mexico and get my fill on more tacos...This would constitute my 4th-8th taco of the day. It was empty when I got there at around 245pm on a Tuesday but 3 more groups of people came and left during my time there. I decided to get the buche (pork stomach), cochinita, al pastor and pollo taco. What makes this taqueria different from the other places I've gone to is the fact that their meat has a more distinct flavor to it due to the spices and the chilis they add to it. The pollo taco, though not as dry as El Amigo, was a little too 'spiced' up for me. Same went for the al pastor. The cochinita was not my fav here as well, it was just a little over the top for me in terms of taste. But wait for it....the buche. YES THE BUCHE. Though greasy, the flavor they got in it is great. I can devour the buche tacos for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It definitely was yummier than the buche I had at Tacos Mi Nacho. The corn tortillas although yummy, are not made in store. The owner buys them from somewhere else. This place is also a little fancier than the other taquerias in the area, albeit no complimentary chips. Rankings: 1) Rivas Taqueria 2) Taqueria El Amigo 3) Taqueria Mexico 4) Tacos Mi Nacho read more

Hole in the wall and divey. However the tacos were dirt cheap and delicious. Forget Taco Bell, come here and get better and AUTHENTIC food for about the same price. And you probably won't die of a heart attack in the process either. read more

Good food but the attitude of one of the counter staff has ruined this place for me. Been coming here at least twice a week for last couple years, but after the rudeness during my last two visits, I will not be returning. If the old guy isn't working the register, I recommend just turning around. read more

My coworkers and I usually stop in here for lunch. Even though they're usually crazy busy, the food comes out very quickly. I love this place, the food is authentic, and the service is good. I usually get the tacos and the tostada, but really everything here is great. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! My husband and i are born and raised from Southern California and grew up in Mexican food (especially since my husband is first gen Mexican-American). So when we moved east we looked for places high and low that can give us a tastes of home. This place has the best tasting meat for the authentic street tacos. So much flavor! The prices are good. Definitely one of the best, authentic tacos in all of CT! read more

I used to love this place till today.. I ordered chicken nachos got only nachos. I called them they said come back they will refund but I live one the other side of town. The guys cooking the food used no gloves and the nachos tasted old, chips taste old and stale. Needless to say I will not be coming back.. so sad this was my favorite place. read more

Goodness gracious why did I wait so long to try this place out?! Their chorizo torta is Heaven on Earth! The chicken taco is delicious and everything about this place is authentic. The only bummer for me is the location, but obviously that has nothing to do with the food :) read more

Taqueria Mexico - Chorizo torta! - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

You will not be greeted by teenagers ringing bells or yelling "welcome to Pedro's" here. You will not get lots of fancy choices, or tex-mex, or margaritas. What you will get is delicious, authentic Mexican food, made to order, with fresh ingredients, at reasonable prices. I'm a creature of habit, and typically order one of three or four items that have become my favorites. They typically involve either the chicken or chorizo and are loaded up with veggies and cilantro. Add the red sauce and it's a fiesta in my mouth. A big selection of Mexican candies, sodas, ice cream, and chips are also available. I've been coming here for almost a year now. I usually visit at least once a week, and have never walked away unhappy. It can get busy in here for lunch. Clientele is usually a mix of college students, local businessmen, and no shortage of Mexicans, usually a good sign when seeking good Mexican food. The staff has always been pleasurable to deal with. Atmosphere is no frills, with a counter, some booths and a separate dining room. Meals are served on paper plates with plastic cutlery. read more

This is definitely the go-to for tasty, authentic Mexican. The tortes and tacos are both great. Grab a Mexican soda to wash it down with to complete the meal! read more

You can't get anymore authentic than this. It's no frills and it's DELISH. This is a weekly stop for me as their fast and delicious. This food fuels my soul and is definitely a comfort food. I you can't go wrong with stopping here, once you do you never will quit! read more

It's a small hole in the wall style restaurant but it's good! Cabeza lengua tacos and especially cochinita tastes authentic!!! It's Friday morning so there is no people waiting. I would love horchata it's only served during weekends. Will definitely come back for more! read more

Absolute best place for authentic tacos. Friendly staff, quick service even when busy. Order ahead for takeout and leave to pick up when you order. Chorizo here is phenomenal. read more

I love this place! Authetic Mexican cuisine, the best around! Its a small restauraunt, you kind of get the feel of an old time Breakfast joint, the staff is behind the counter cooking, there is a couter with stools to sit at, then tables and a few booths. There is a second room, that is a bit more comfortable, with tables and chairs. So lets start with the staff and the service. They have a super friendly staff that works extremely hard to please their customers. I am always amazed how fast you get your food, you order, you sit down, and within a minute or two your food is there. The food is delicious, the quality is very good, I usually get a Carne Asada plate, the quality of the steak is very good, very lean. The home made sauces are the key, they have a green and a red, I hear they are made fresh daily. The green is spicy, but the red is usually spicier and a bit smoky. They are not what I call stupid hot, but you will break a sweat and yiour sinuses will be cleared! I also get the ceviche, which is very good and a genorous portion, and a side oif the pickled Jalepenos. This a great place for a quick meal, great quality, and great service! read more
