“This is a gem of a spot in Seymour!! Their food is top notch excellent and they have utterly delicious vegan options! Prices are incredibly reasonable and the portions are just right. My partner said it’s the best breakfast burrito he’s ever had in Ct. I got a vegan soyrizo sandwich and was also blown away. Can’t WAIT to go back and try more of their dishes - everything that came out of the kitchen looked bangin! The owners are friendly and outgoing. I’d just be aware the space is quite small so seating is limited - more of an issue if you’re wanting to bring a group on a weekend.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian but more importantly VEGAN options.“
“The food here is absolutely delicious I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through or from Waterbury if they're in the mood for Mexican. Everything is made fresh daily they even make homemade hot sauces and the taste is amazing I would definitely recommend the chicken tacos with some cheese lettuce and cilantro.“
“I've been eating here for years and the variety and quality of food is amazing and delicious ?. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast and the portions and price of food that this place gives you is awesome you can't go wrong eating here . If I could give more than 5 stars I would .“
“I got the chicken and beef fajitas. They were pretty good, my friend got chicken tacos and a quesadilla. She also liked her food. Service is good, food is delicious, the orchata and tamarind deinks are amazing here. Parking is so so, prices are what you expect now a days. All around a 7 out of 10, in my opinion.“
“I can't believe that it has taken me this long to realize how close this food truck is. Three al pastor tacos with a steak and cheese empanada. it was still warm when I got it home to my waiting margaritas. I will be hitting this place a lot! one little extra that most places don't think to throw in are sliced radishes, but these guys know what's up. so I had those to snack on, as well.“

“Stopped by for the first time for a drink and something to eat, I got the Frida Kahlo drink and not only was it the cutest drink I’ve ever received but it was really good! I also got the Birra Ramen and it was sooooo good! I’ll definitely be back to check out their karaoke and trivia nights but I really wish they were open later, I had friends who wanted to join after class but with them closing at 9 there just wasn’t time! I hope they can expand their hours in the future!“
“I was my first time there. When you enter your greated at the door by a friendly staff, promptly your seated and given some home made nachos with salsa and bean dip, they arrive warm and really crispy, the atmosphere is quite pleasant the staff is always on point asking weather you need anything and how is your service experience. I got into a small conversation with one of the waiters and mentioned i was there for my birthday only to be surprised by a big sombrero and a staff singing to me. I was in shock but very happy they served me a complimentary dessert as well as complimentary ceviche made of tilapia fish. I must warn you if you go here please go hungry because the portions are ridiculously huge. I didnt give 5 stars because i plan on visiting again then i will edit my review accordingly“
“Yo this place is the TRUTH. So much good food for the prices. The way Mexican should be served…just moved here and it’s right down the street from my new apartment…needless to say I will be frequenting this location much more…5/5 if you want Mexican takeout in Waterbury this is it…“
“Garlic is one of those places I had went by so many times and wondered what it was like! I’m glad we visited because now we know how delicious all of their food is! I was seriously so impressed that Naugatuck has a spot that offers so many fantastic Latin dishes. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. I especially loved the stuffed potato balls, Colombian empanadas, nachos, and cheese arepa. Plenty of seating and the dining room is so cute! The food all came out hot and made to order, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Extremely reasonable prices too. We’ll be back!“
“First time at this place. It was decently busy and there were only 2 bartenders taking care of the whole place. We got our appetizer at the same time as our entrees, which was a little disappointing. It's a nice place and the food was good. They have trivia on Wednesdays and pool tables available for those who like to play pool. Plenty of TV's if you're planning to go watch a game.Vegetarian options: They have a black bean burger for vegan/vegetarian.“
“I love ordering the Sopes very flavorful along with their birria gorditas, been here twice and they definitely better than los Garcia, sorry not sorry ???? wtbyParking: Plenty of space to parkKid-friendliness: Very clean and friendly atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Easy to enter“
“What a great customer service!And the food is to die for!Hugo and his family such a hard working people, with a very kind heart!The other day I grabbed lunch I forgot they only take cash, he was nice enough to let me take the food and come another day to pay back (which of course I did, because it’s just right)Im in love with the steak quesadilla, incredible amount of tasty cheese, and delicious steak!Sopes and chicken empanadas are Bomb!I mean in general the best taco truck you will find in Waterbury, with the most authentic Mexican food, and amazing customer service!“
“Fabulous, bare bones sit down restaurant. Extensive and comprehensive menu. Huge portion of excellent pozole. Birria tacos were wonderful. No alcohol, but excellent Mexican juices and sodas. Part of the Jean Talon market, which is well worth going to. Will definitely be back.“
“Delicious food! Would definitely rate as being authentic. I tried the green enchiladas and cheese flautas. Both were amazing! They use really good cheese!Will definitely visit again in the future and recommend to others!Vegetarian options: Cheese flautas“
“Perfect place for a family party! Staff is great with the kids and really makes the birthday kid feel special! Very impressed with the food. It was a pleasant surprise when the manager came to check on our party. Definitely coming back!Kid-friendliness: The chef was fun and made the birthday boy feel important turning 9. He even got the two year old to try the kid-friendly 'sake!' Great job, AJ Hibachi!“
“Clearly wrote this and didn't check my spelling. I moved to Connecticut after living in Phoenix and was craving tacos. This place is AMAZING. We had tacos and sopes and everything is incredible and super authentic. Special shout out to the chorizo, Al pastor and horchata“
“Amazing food! We have visited several times, consistent fresh food (my favorite is the tamales!) , good friendly service and a clean restaurant!Dietary restrictions: Large variety of options for all kinds of dietsKid-friendliness: Not an overly stimulating environmentWheelchair accessibility: No stairs!“
“Take out was very good! I love authentic Mexican food. Chilaquiles was great except it got way too soggy with delivery.. probably better in restaurant. My children loved the tacos and burrito.. id like to give it a shot at the restaurant itself.. otherwise flavors were on point!! Talk about authentic flavor..u need to try this page if you love Mexican food!“
“Had the chicken flautas.. excellent. Chicken tamale excellent. Birria tacos were delicious. The beef burrito had mostly rice....very skimpy on the meat for the price. Salsas were so good!! Maybe put a little more protein in the burritos, but overall very tasty and well balanced. Tasted very authentic....“
“Hi there. I stopped by here today for the first time and what a charming place. From The accommodation The establishment, the elegance, the cleanliness and its outstanding service. Juan welcomed me and the birthday boy, which was what prompted the visit, and they were more than spoiled. Even Musica was dedicated to him and his well-deserved congratulations. Lots of attention and very delicious food. The Strawberry margarita did not disappoint. And ultimately I see them back“
“The service is always excellent at PV Southington. As you can see from the pics, great presentation of the food and drinks. I had the peppers and filet mignon. I am generally not a fan of filet, but this dish was excellent. Meet was super tender and the peppers grilled perfectly. Tortilla soup was a tad salty for my taste, but the person who ordered it loved it. Margs are always presented in a very nice way. The fare is a slight notch above the typical dishes at your average Mexican restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend Puerto Vallarta if you are in the area.“
“food was like eating a TV dinner except it was on a plate. Ibam sad we stayrd local, our plan was to drive to west Hartford. That wasn't even the part that was most disappointing....when handed the bill I questioned why the drinks were charged 1.50 more than the menu price....the answer oh that's our old menu. we'll then toss them out and give the new menu to customers....fale advertising is illegal. Ask your distributors to print new ones for you. I happen to work for one that would be more than happy to print new menus with correct pricing in exchange for a couple menu placements.“
“First off, I think this place is called el molgajete bakery and deli now but it doesn't matter because this steak burrito was amazing. I was building the Popeyes building across the street and wanted a bite to eat. I'm so glad I stopped in here. I hope I have more jobsites close to this place.“
“This is the best Mexican food I've had in both New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. I usually travel a lot and frequently visit new places. This is a hidden gem in a small venue. Everything has excellent flavor, well seasoned, freshly made and the prices are unbeatable. Definitely a place to eat several times a week. I recommend them to anyone. A blessing to find such a place. Hoping that this place remains authentic and does not change. I got here thanks to a Review that said that this was Mexican food, not like the food trucks that are near the Mall. I totally agree with that comment.“
“Taquitos are delicious and 4/10.00! Skip the beans (no flavor) and the cheese enchilada. Opt for the chicken chimichanga and tostada instead. Coconut flan is so good! The piña loca comes in an entire pineapple. Where else are you gonna get that in this town?Vegetarian options: Just ask them to make substitutions and you'll enjoy most dishes.“
“I've ordered here through Doordash three times so far, and the food is always delicious. Just had some pork and chicken tamales today, and they are yummy too. Smaller than I expected, but i appreciate less calories. Great prices and great delivery. Plan on stopping in at Speedway soon.“
“I must say that I was really surprised with the quality of the food.it was my first time there so I purchased a variety of items to take home to the family. The chicken was so good. Cooked to perfection. The carbe asada is soft and juicy. The carnitas were cooked amazingly. Juicy yet xrispy at the same time. Usually a place like this does one item really well but this is not your typical place. They gave me a sample of their Birria and barbacoa. Just as delicious as as the other proteins. Also their sides were great. I bought rice, beans and potato salad. Definitely going back soon!“
“Visited this place for the first time. I will preface by saying I haven't had his Mexican restaurant food in a long time. Enjoyed the fajitas which were flavourful and well-spiced but was disappointed by the mole enchiladas which had chocolate on them and were more sweet than (as I expected) spicy.The spicy margaritas (they have 2 different kinds) were excellent, and if you want a sweet kind, they have multiple choices as well (strawberry, passionfruit -- both nice).For dessert, lava cake and banana cheesecake (I know, right?) were actually delectable.The prices for Mexican food have gone up tremendously, and I was surprised to be paying $13 a drink and $20 a plate in general.All in all, Senor Pancho's is perfect for someone craving conventional Mexican food.Parking: Free parking lotKid-friendliness: Family friendly, with high chairs and kid-friendly options“
