    Ordered takeout recently from this restaurant. Overall, it was ok. It traveled well for delivery but honestly it wasn't the best tasting. I was surprised considering the great reviews, at least on Google. I ordered 3 meals. Even though seafood is usually expensive, this order cost $100 and I got probably 6-8 shrimp in two boxes and a handful of frozen fries. They also seem to only over the small bay scallops and these didn't even taste fresh. I can't speak to the clam strips but the cod in the other box didn't get a good review.

    Cute little local place. We usually sit in the bar - Jen is the best bartender in the area. Her…read moredrinks are great (and strong), and she does fun things around the holidays like 31 days of Christmas or Halloween drinks. Their food can be iffy, it's a lot of pub food but the current chef does mix it up a bit. Their French onion soup is fantastic. We often go just for that. Some of the apps and entrees are just unexciting bar food. On a recent trip, I enjoyed the special of the night which was a linguine with scallops and a sherry cream sauce. It was great and exactly what I needed that night. Don't be afraid to try the specials. I enjoy their seasonal salads as well. And don't forget to finish with a slice of their famous carrot cake!

    Came in on Wednesday for a quick lunch on the deck and realized it's the best day to go as they…read moreoffer BOGO 50% off the menu items. Was a toss up to try the fish or shrimp tacos as it comes w saffron rice. With the recommendation from the waitress we went w the shrimp tacos. They are so filling and come with 5 shrimps in each tacos shell. They have to say you won't be disappointed as they were so good I went back the following week and ordered the same dish. The service on the covered deck was alittle slow since it was during lunch but still offered us good service. The restaurant is very clean and great place to dine. They have been around a long time and have a great reputation with great food.

    Taqueria just opened in Middletown about two weeks ago. And it's Top Tier right out of the gate…read more I noticed the Taqueria sign on Main Street about a month ago, before they opened. And then, this week, Chef Edgar from beloved Tacos Los Gordos in New Haven messaged me a pic of a Pitaya Agua Fresca from Taqueria. He knows I'm an Agua Fresca fan. I asked Edgar if he'd eaten there yet. His response, "Twice". I crunched the numbers. If a Top Tier Mexican Food Chef out of New Haven, drives to a brand New Mexican restaurant in Middletown, twice in the first two weeks, that means, I need to visit . . . Right away. I walked in with my son around 11:30 a.m. Saturday. You know who was eating there? Firefighters. Firefighters are renowned foodies, and you know how many dining options they have on Main Street Middletown? INFINiTE. True Story. I have to agree with Chef Edgar and the firefighters on this one. Taqueria is already top tier. The Pitaya Agua Fresca was so fresh, I could feel bits of soft pulp. My son and I eat a lot of chips and salsa from a lot of places. These fresh made, good salty, tortilla strips were perfect. The smoky, bright flavored salsa with the deep red glow -- may be the best house salsa we've had. I haven't had a better pastor taco in CT. And the white crema-striped, shrimp quesadilla was great. The shrimp were so tender. Taqueria is family-run. You order at the counter and they bring your food when it is done. Service was good and friendly. The vibe is nice, in a minimalistic kind of way. Wood floors. White walls. Some accent art and streamers. You shouldn't have a problem getting a table at this point. Since Taqueria is new, you may have a bit of time to get your tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Agua Frescas, etc. without waiting in lines. I wouldn't wait too long though. Firefighters are known to get the word out. Chef Edgar too.

    Excellent service and food. Lots to choose from. We chose to sit outside as the weather is…read moreexcellent! Sorry no photos as we were too hungry!
