I didn't get any photos, but I will next time. We came in as we gave seen the business during a few street fours in town. The lines were always long so we never tried it. The restaurant is inviting, a lot of great artwork to view and the decor matches it's offerings. The staff was awesome, very friendly and the ticket times were good. All of the food was delicious and we had to bring some home as I couldn't finish it there. It's worth a visit if you are in the area and I will definitely be back to try some other dishes! read more

Tino's Cafe is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Naugatuck, Connecticut, known for its authentic Mexican dishes, breakfast, and lunch, including popular items like Nachos Explosivos, Carne Asada tacos, and Birria tacos. On my way to Walmart, I passed by this place and decided to give it a try. As soon as I stepped in, I was greeted warmly. I ordered the Carne Asada, Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Birria Tacos. My meals arrived in about fifteen minutes. The Carne Asada Taco was tasty but a bit on the dry side. The Al Pastor Taco was flavorful, though I wish it had a little more pineapple to really boost the taste. The Birria and Carnitas Tacos were both delicious, but I personally prefer my Birria tacos to be a bit crunchier. Overall, the food was fantastic, and the customer service was friendly and attentive. read more

Have you ever ate someplace new and the next day you find yourself craving it again? That's the vibe at Tino's! Finally tried this place and we are hooked. The tacos and nachos are outstanding, my favorite is the chorizo and the nachos with chorizo. It's a tiny little place, family owned and operated. If you like it spicy their very hot hot sauce is amazzzzzing. The verde and rojo are great too. Cant wait to stop by again! read more

A quick kitchen and attentive staff could not make up for the bland food made with mediocre ingredients.

Only Mexican spot in the area since we moved here a few years ago nothing like the Mexican food down by i95 but tried it multiple times over last 2 years and just had to stop it not very flavorful and looks basic just seems like they just opened to have an income rather than prepare great Mexican food read more

I'm not sure how many times I've been here now but it's quite a lot! We always call ahead and the food is ready quickly and they always give you your order total over the phone which is great. Tried some new things yesterday with my fiancée which included a chicken burrito the size of one of our dinner plates which was delicious and obviously very filling. The quesa birria with the side of consume is also phenomenal as well as the steak quesadilla. Also, the side of fries are hot and crispy and amazing!! Tino's will absolutely be your new go to Mexican once you try it! 10/10 recommend everything on the menu read more

Tino’s Cafe - El pastor and carne asada tacos, rice and beans and chips and guac - Mexican Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Ordered on Uber eats last week. As much as I wanted to like it it was overall lacking flavor and we weren't impressed. We ordered the Al pastor quesadilla which was very small and unfilled and the steak fajita chimichanga. Unfortunate. read more

Great Taco Salads with shredded chicken or grill are my two favorites. Fresh clean and simple. Service is ok and the driveway / parking is yuck holes chunks of asphalt everywhere so it's like going to war/ construction site to pick up your lunch. read more

We usually order take out, the birria tacos are so good! They come with three tacos and the consume

The food is fairly good and authentic. I will go back only if I order through uber eats though, the lady who takes orders is very rude. The elote (street corn) is listed as a dessert so I wanted to double check that it was in fact street corn and not something sweet, and she gave me a dirty look and attitude as if I was dumb. I have gone twice and both times she was rude. She is actually kind to people who seem of hispanic descent or speak spanish, but to those who aren't, she's mean. It's pretty off putting because business is business, and being kind to someone based off their skin color or ethnicity is terrible in general but especially this day in age. The restaurant also smells a bit weird, it's an unclean type of smell that overpowers the smell of food, so that's kinda concerning. If you're looking for good mexican food, order takeout from here, but through a delivery service only. read more

Not a fan of Mexican food but was craving nachos for some reason. Looked nothing Iike the picture. ALL the chips were soggy. It literally looked like vomit or slop. And did not taste good at all. All mushy. Too many onions and gave me a headache. My entire home wreaks of onion. Threw the whole thing away after trying to eat 2 chips. I feel sick after just that little bit. Will never order food here again and do NOT recommend!! read more

Had the chicken burrito with green sauce. Excellent! Flavorful and a good amount of toppings for it on the side. read more

I've been here multiple times. I previously left a five star review. I was very surprised today when the two burritos we bought came to almost $36.00. I'm sad to say I won't be back. I even questioned it giving them a chance to say they made a mistake. read more
