I'm a fan of tacos al pastor and when we found this place where they put the trompo to make these tacos I said puffff, it's glory. I recommended the place to my neighbors and they were delighted too.

The food takes a long time, they don't want to speak in Spanish which I don't understand if it's a Mexican restaurant and the majority of its consumers are Hispanic, it's difficult to explain over the phone what you want and they don't understand anything.

Super good and authentic Mexican food! They are open late so it’s a plus getting tacos after a night out

The food was really bad. I ordered a chicken torta, and it was horrible. Traditional chicken tortas have a breaded chicken cutlet or milanesa de pollo in Spanish, this torta was made using an awefuk canned chicken that had a weird texture and taste. My gf ordered chicken nachos and they also had those nasty canned chicken chunks. They need to start using real chicken in their meals because it ruined our lunch entirely. Also, we ordered one taco and they have no idea how to assemble a taco because as soon as I took one bite, the entire taco fell apart. There’s definitely better Mexican food options out there.

Absolutely the rudest workers ever. Talk bad about your skin color in Spanish in front of you. Embarrassing for them they think they’re the only ones who speak Spanish.

Tacos were somewhat small but delicious, some of the best carnitas I’ve had in the northeast.

The food, portions and quality has changed. Especially this year mid 2023. The food was great I didn't care that i had to wait long. I would call in or stop by place my order and come back when ready no biggie. Although it has changed the food is good I just no longer think, its worth the wait. The higher prices and smaller portions thing they are doing isn't helping.Parking: Several businesses share the small parking lot so its not easy to find parking. People park all crazy, blocking cars so when you do find parking its hard to get out.

Always nice service and delicious food. Expect a wait if they’re busy/ you see a lot of people. Order ahead of you can manage! I only waited less than 10mins one time but it is always worth the wait! There is limited seating so I wouldn’t plan on eating inside.

Local take out with a bustling kitchen. Always a good sign when a place is flooded with orders. Guacamole was close to perfection. Idk if I just got them on a good night but literally top 5 guac in my entire life.Burrito was generously sized (easily two meals worth for my appetite). Well distributed ingredients, I was left wanting for nothing after I finished one half. Ordered a side of chips - if there was one thing to kvetch about it would be that a couple of them were tad stale (not rotten- stale). But it’s august in New England and the humidity this year is breaking records. So I’m cool with it.When I moved to south Norwalk over a year ago I was told this is the only place I’d ever need to order from for Mexican. That person was right - price, quality and portions are top notch. For those reviewing it low for poor service … most of them complain about not being noticed and standing around even though their food was ready. This is a take out joint. If you stand around not making yourself known, people will assume you’re politely waiting. Duh.
