Restaurantji's Groton guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors.
“Went somewhere new for date night and Manana Cafe did not disappoint! Started with the homemade tortilla chips and guacamole, which was better than we’ve ever tried elsewhere..fresh fried chips were amazing! I had the mole poblano con pollo and hubby had cochinita pibil (shredded pork with citrus and tortillas). Both were delicious, authentic and fresh. We also tried a spicy margarita and the cinnamon honey margarita and enjoyed both. Service was friendly and sweet and we were checked on often but not invasively. Was a little pricey but was to be expected for the quality and authenticity. It was a win for us, 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I go to college in the area and i absolutely love Margaritas. The bar area is a great hangout spot with friends, the staff is always friendly and responsive, and the food is delicious!! I also love the $6 margarita specials at night and how it changes every month! My personal favorite is the chicken baby chimi's appetizer for dinner, along with chips and queso for the group. I told my parents about this place and brought them here to show them our hangout spot, and they were also pleasantly satisfied with their food and margaritas! I have now brought them back one or two more times since because it is always a friendly environment and fun time!“
“We've enjoyed Ortega's for years and in spite of new venues springing up we always return. There's no comparison to the consistent quality of their meals whether you're enjoying a dinner or a quick bite. The service is top notch and delivered with a smile as is the greeting as you walk through the door. The decor is warmly Mexican but without a lot of sombreros or piñatas overhead. Always spotless, always predictable and always appreciated!“
“I was in town for about 4 weeks and I probably hit this spot 3-4 times a week. Perfect post workout protein packed hearty meal. You get basically 600-1000 calories and at least 60 grams of protein. I add tofu and avocado often. I also add to it a couple apple juices to replenish my sugars that I just burned off in the gym. These guys will take care of you“
“Ok, so it's a chain, so I expect it to be typical. What I don't like is the cleanliness of the place is usually not good it always like they got hit buy a rush of people and don't have time to clean up, the staff is ok depending on how the customers treat them past couple of time othe customers treat them like dog $%*@ and they struggle to stay positive. But it's not too bad the prices seem high for what you get but it's just my opinion right!“
“Taco bell is the long chain of Mexican cuisine.They serve tacos of multiple stuffing at Reasonable rates.dining in, take outs or delivery all you can choose as per your convenience.We ordered Taco with potato stuffing which taste really good , bean burrito & cinnamon twists.Service was good , waiting time atleast 5-10 minutes.Good atmosphere,Payment both cash and digital are available.Free parking is available also wheelchair accessible parking.Public Restroom is available .Vegetarian options: I liked vegetarian options there.“
“This location has an amazing pallet of flavors on their menu when it comes to authentic Spanish food. Recently I was there for Valentine’s Day and we got chips and the quesadillas. I got the Mexican paella and it was absolutely delectable. My boyfriend got the steak made medium, which was perfectly tender. We end up getting the Tres Leche every time because it tastes like home to me. We also love the hospitality that the staff provide towards the tables. I seriously recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a good date night or a night out and trying some really good corn tacos. I promise you won’t be disappointed and you will enjoy yourself.Also, a sidenote/shout out:We keep coming back to this location for the past couple years now, just to continuously bump into one waiter named Luis (I believe that’s his name! I’m terrible with names, but I remember his face lol). This man has a couple of daughters that he continuously loves and talks about, he loves his job and does a stellar job at making conversation to connect with his patrons. After not going to this restaurant for 8 months straight, we went on 2/14/24 and he walked right up and immediately recognized the both of us. He pointed as to where we sat last time and spoke about playing video games and other topics we had talked about months prior. Truly impressive. I really hope the owner and the person who is viewing us will recognize that this person has changed our perspective of how we view this restaurant. We plan to come here more often. Much love to the entire staff, we plan to see you soon ?“
“One of the very best Mexican restaurants I have been to!! Mohegan Sun Casino has amazing restaurants with great food and Sol Toro is at the very top of my list!!!! The table side guacamole is so delicious and the margaritas are amazing. The service was very professional and my server Mariah was the best! I recommend this place and can't wait to go back soon.“
“The best tacos on the Northeastern Seaboard!Had take out once and accidentally got charged for a dine in order as well. Called to ask about the double charge that I saw on my statement and the manager was very quick to respond and handle the issue!Have been a recurring customer for a while now. Taquerio is a destination that anyone visiting the Mystic area should definitely check out!“
“What a great place. It was our 1st time buying lunch from here. We bought for the whole 8 person staff at our office. The Mexican flavors were authentic and far better than the 2 corporate franchises in town. All 8 orders were spot on as requested unlike those 2 corporate franchises which we ALWAYS had mistakes in the orders. Well done. We will be back again.“
