“I got takeout from here a few months ago. It was my first time trying Chipotle. I ordered a steak quesadilla with hot sauce and sour cream on the side. I also ordered chips with guacamole and queso. The quesadilla was really good. The sauce was actually hot, which I liked. Because you know how some places advertise hot sauce but it’s not hot at all. The chips were okay, I wasn’t a fan of the guacamole, it was really bland. The queso was fine though. Not the best though. But, it’s Chipotle so I wasn’t expecting gourmet food. Overall, I liked it.“
“Very loud and echoey.Asked for an unsweet tea ended up getting a Lipton lemonade tea.I really wanted to give this place a bad rating cause of obnoxious customers but as soon as the food arrived 5 stars isn't enough.This is the best Mexican food I've found this far north.Got the Mexican menu breakfast burrito sub chorizo and bacon.HOLY COWSavory, salty, spicy and tasted amazing!I'll definitely be saving this place and visiting any time I'm in the area.“
“I fell in love with Birria tacos recently during a visit to TX, so I was really looking forward to trying this food truck. It was a big disappointment. $32 for three small tacos and a quesadilla? They didn’t even include the consome which is a signature part of the Birria experience. You had to pay extra for it. We asked if they had any chicken or shrimp options, which are listed on their website…nope. Just beef, which was pretty bland. Sorry, wanted to like ya, but one and done.“
“Quaint spot with authentic Mexican food. Pricing is good and portions are large. The staff was great. They were attentive to us and helpful with ordering.Parking: Parking is located in front, the back lot, and on street.Kid-friendliness: They offer a kids menu.“
“Ever since moving here from Texas we’ve been looking for good Mexican food. It is rare to find a place with authentic “sazón” but this place makes the cut. Being of Hispanic descent, we tend to be pretty picky about Mexican food but it was excellent. Their bar is well stocked too and the drinks were on the money. The atmosphere is a bit crowded but I would expect that from a place that’s as good as this. The owner stopped in to say hello, chatted a bit and really made us feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back and likely make this one of our regular spots.“
“This place is one of my favorite restaurants to go out with the family enjoying good atmosphere food and pleasant service.This place is one of my favorite restaurants to go out with family enjoying good food, atmosphere and pleasant service.“
“I highly recommend this restaurant. The owner Javier is extremely humble & gracious. His family rolled out the red carpet for us & treated us like royalty. The food is delicious . They have an amazing dish called empanada tacos. It’s truly the best of both worlds.“
“The food is amazing, let me tell you how flavorful the shrimp was.. I only ate one empanada and shrimp taco and was full but it didn't go to waste believe that I had to share this with the fam. I'm giving this place a solid 8.7. Only issue is that they only accept cash and they close at 8, but they have very good customer service. Look at the plating presentation even tho it's a to go order they take their time out for each order.“
“Have been there a few times, and this was not my best time. Too crowded and the food took forever and when we got it it was cold. personally, I don't like cold food. but because every day is not the same I will go back and try it again.“
“Have gone twice now and both times have been awesome! First time I tried the steak burrito and second time the carnitas rice bowl. Both had great flavor. The restaurant is like Moe's or Chipotle but has way more options and toppings to choose from. Definitely recommend!“
“Cool hidden spot with a nice variety of Authentic Mex food !Vegetarian options: Many substitutes for most item on the menuParking: Open / safe more than 20 availableKid-friendliness: Small and a few tables to sitWheelchair accessibility: Flat & easy access“
“I can't say what I like best, because it is all delicious. I usually get the enchiladas huertenas because I can't decide if the mole, red sauce, or green sauce is better; they are all equally wonderful. So are their tender, flavorful tamales. even their chips & salsa are a cut above. Pickup during the pandemic is fast and painless, which we appreciate.“
“i have been to bartaco a few times now and i always have a great experience! i went with my dad and sister earlier today and got the new cauliflower pistachio rice bowl and a couple of mushroom tacos. i’m SO glad they have tasty vegan options. kiki was super helpful and made great suggestions! highly recommend :) “
“Let’s be honest there’s no restaurant that touches Sayulita. I run a restaurant in the north end of Boston and every time I go home to see the parents in south Glastonbury I have to stop in to see Josh. Tonight we came in and waited at the bar before we were seated at our table. My mom had the blood orange margarita which was so delicious I almost drank half of it. When seated in the dining room we were greeted by Vicky our server who has been working there for more than 7 years and boy could you tell. She knew everything about the menu and even recommended some fan favorites like Bavette Steak with the Yukon potato’s and which we obviously had to order and was amazing. If you’re looking for a restaurant in the greater Hartford area with amazing drinks, food and staff you need to come here.“
“Nice place! Very authentic Mexican both in ambiance and the food. We had chicken quesadillas and carne asada tacos - they were perfect. Great taste, hot and plentiful. The server was very friendly and attentive to us the whole time. We were traveling through and found them on Yelp. Excellent choice!“
“The word "hidden gem" is throw around often in the foodie world. So often enough, that it's almost annoying when people use it because when you go to the business's Yelp page they have 10,000+ reviews. Lol. Well, it's obviously not hidden very well is it? Anyway, Salsas 4 Taqueria IS a hidden gem, but hidden in plain sight...Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in a old-looking plaza with a state credit union, a regular bank and a learning center of sorts is this gem. The outside just doesn't look like much and the sign isn't too elaborate either. There is parking out front of course since it's in a plaza so there's nothing to worry about. Once inside it's just like a traditional Mexican spot. Dimly lit, colorful walls painted with the colors of the Mexican flag, cheap wooden chairs and exposed brick. It's exactly what you want to see from a place like this.Service: I've never eaten inside the restaurant because I always order online. This place doesn't even have its own website because they don't need it. You can order online through various services, but I personally go through Yelp. So I just go in, give my name and my order is usually ready.Food: So on their menu is something I've never seen before called a tlayuda. It's a handmade dish in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, consisting of a large, thin, crunchy, partially fried or toasted tortilla covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento (unrefined pork lard), lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat (usually shredded chicken, beef tenderloin or pork), Oaxaca cheese, and salsa. Tlayudas are typical of Oaxaca and receive their name thanks to the particular texture of the tortilla. Unlike a soft tortilla, like those we usually see at taco stands or in the store, tlayudas are usually larger, heavier, and more consistent than a soft tortilla. They offer 4 types and I went with the Guelaquetza Tlayuda which is protein heavy filled with carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor. This this is SO DENSE and so delicious! I'm 5'9", 260 pounds and I could only eat half of this thing. It was so filling and I LOVED IT. It's the only thing I've ever eaten from here. Lol.Value: The Guelaquetza Tlayuda is $18.00 and 100% worth it. Period.I loved this place! It's nearby to where I live so I plan on paying this place many more visits in the near future!“
“Hands down the best Mexican I've found in CT. It was super busy so we waited at the bar. Even though the bar was stacked deep with people the bartender was super fast and attentive. Great service. Got seated in the timeframe they had estimated. We all had a variety of dishes and drinks and everything was fantastic. The chorizo nachos were outrageously good. I'll definitely be back, a lot.“
“The food was TOP NOTCH! Never have had a bad experience in this restaurant since I started going here 3 years ago. The pupusas are to die for, and the tacos are amazing!!!! There’s chips and salsa when you go in and it’s all fresh. The one thing I would suggest is the atmosphere. Maybe better lights, or updated decor, but regardless the service and food is 100/10! Thank youuuu!“
“It was a good time with my wife for Valentine's Day. They accommodated us last minute with a very busy night and we had a table in the back. I understand that it was Vday so I will give the service some grace, it was very busy in there, wait was a little long for food, but the overall experience was GREAT. Food is delicious, come with an appetite, and be ready to take food home. The waitress was checking in a lot but she was only stalling because the night was busy and she knew the food was taking long. She still asked what we needed and was very supportive throughout the process. I would definitely go back. Popular restaurant in a popular area, so I would still recommend making reservations before dining. Won't be my last time returning... The person next to us had the short ribs, when it came out I told my wife I will order that next time lol. El Santo is a beautiful place.“
“Each time we’ve ordered from this little gem we’ve been so satisfied with the great food and really quick service! I wish this amazing taqueria was right next door though! My husband is headed over right now for a large order so we can enjoy the leftovers!“
“The BEST manager and staff! They are all so friendly and helpful. Tony and the crew are always on point! We love getting the Pork Pastor Phorrito, Shrimp Pho and Beef Quesadilla. One of the top Mexican restaurants in Glastonbury. Thank you so much we will be back again soon! ?“
“Out-of-this world.I've done my fair share of traveling, and am ecstatic to be able to say that my hometown's got a truly high-quality, quick Mexican restaurant to rival SoCal Mexican joints.Sayulita on 17's always nice, but the consumer's not always looking for a $30/person full-service meal, and Glastonbury finally, truly has something special for a quick Mexican restaurant.The first notable thing that popped out to me, before I even talked to anyone behind the counter, was the price.A 3-meat, no-holds-barred, full-9-yards burrito is $14 pre-tax. Extra meat is only a dollar surcharge.I ordered a pretty normal burrito - rice, black beans, pulled pork, sour cream, cheese, queso (yeah, that's triple dairy, I'm here for a good time), jalapeños, corn, and pico.They have a small entreé selection, or you can choose to draw from the Chipotle DIY-bar philosophy and make your own monstrosity, as I chose to do.The burrito was well-wrapped, and came with a fridge drink (notably, the drinks fridge contains a majority of Jarritos flavors - seriously, I think there's 8 different ones in there - I'm going back today, 19 March, will update this review.). There's your standard Coca-Cola products on fountain, and also a couple of import Coca-Cola products in the fridge. Y'know, the nice glass bottle stuff.That burrito had something magic to it. Dense, fresh, and the closest thing we've got in town to authentic Mexican for less than a twenty. Everything meshed perfectly, and the taste reflected it. Meat was perfect, all toppings were exactly as they should be, and for a moment all is right in the world.Seriously, this place has something special - the Moe's location that it replaces may soon be forgotten about. If this RI-based chain can remain as good to everyone as it was to me, then local fixture status is fast approaching for Baja's.10/10. Chipotle lies awake at night thinking about this place.Vegetarian options: Meat is not obligatory, non-meat options are plentiful and delicious. Everything you'd see at Chipotle, plus a bunch you wouldn't.“
“The experience at 1001 was incredible, we were there to celebrate my sister's birthday with about 10 people, each of us ordered different typical Mexican dishes, quesadillas, tacos, burritos, soda, water that comes with the house, it is a charming presentation. The prices are very affordable, most are under 20 dollars.The place is well located, it has free parking, a green area where you can eat outside with a view of the main avenue.The attention to service was most attentive.Parking: No warm or any inconvenience when parking. It has parking in the front area for two hours.Kid-friendliness: Children are allowed. It has all the accommodations for children/high chair.“
“The best food you can eat, I recommend this restaurant to anybody better than any other restaurant Mexican restaurant. They take really good care of you. The food is awesome and the quality is great. The restaurant is super clean and when they bring the food out is a lot of food I give them 100 stars and every time I go and eat, I love my food hot, and they bring you food . Can and eat there .“
“Very cool spot in West Hartford with a fun concept. It's got a brewery type vibe with a nice patio area outdoors with various types of well thought out seating areas. A rotating selection of food trucks are parked adjacent to this area and serve food for lunch, dinner and into the evening. Inside is additional seating and a bar area. Occasionally bands will play on one end of the room. I love that they promote original music here. The food will largely depend on what food trucks are there. Seems like two different ones during the week and three on weekends. They seem to be well curated for quality and variety though. In addition to this they have a small burger and fries type menu inside. The tap list is very solid here featuring a nice variety with many local offerings. The regular staff here who run the bar and deal with general operations are great. Very helpful and friendly all around. Check their social media for food truck and band listings and go check this place out!“
“Some places serve you burritos, and some serve you BURRITOS. This thing was the size of an artillery shell and was so unbelievably flavorful and fresh. Plus, chips?! That’s just kind. They were super friendly and awesome. Can’t wait to go back.“
“The food was hands down amazing. Wasn't too busy when we but the waitress can be hard to find at times. I do plan to return many more times.Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian I had now problem finding something to eatParking: Restaurant is located in a small plaza plenty of parking.“
“Nice place! Very authentic Mexican both in ambiance and the food. We had chicken quesadillas and carne asada tacos - they were perfect. Great taste, hot and plentiful. The server was very friendly and attentive to us the whole time. We were traveling through and found them on Yelp. Excellent choice!“
“Hands down the best Mexican food I have had in CT. My husband and I ordered the elote( off the Cobb) and the steak burrito. Everything was was seasoned to perfection and tasted made to order. Bonus: the customer service was superb. Can’t wait to visit again!“
“I tried their breakfast burrito and churros. The burrito was flavorful and had a good amount of food. I think they should give sauce with the burrito. Very nice young lady who took my order. The churros were delicious. This is take out only, I recommend calling ahead to put your order in. As most items are made to order.“
“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“
“The tacos are fire!!! Everything is fresh and flavorful. 100000% enjoyed the quality of the food and pleasant service. The people running this truck KNOW what they are doing. However, my only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I find them to be pricey. There are other options in the city that are just as great at a more reasonable price. I still highly recommend them for the quality food but the cost adds up super quick. Last time we had a craving and stopped here, they wanted to charge $35 for 10 tacos. Another taco spot I love charges $25 for the same 10 tacos. For the prices, I'd only go here if I'm buying for just me or in a pinch for something fresh and healthy.“
“My wife and I had dinner here; we had the flight of margaritas which were great and started with the nachos. I have eater nachos in numerous restaurants across Canada, the US and even Europe and I can also say these were the best nachos we have ever had. The food was delicious,. service was awesome, Paul was our waiter and he was excellent, the manager, Matt was also wonderful, he came to our table and introduced himself chatted with us and insured everything was going well. Overall, it was an awesome experience.“
“I absolutely love the tostada's. I tried the regular tacos the first time they were absolutely delicious so I went to order them again and I ordered them to go...when I got home and bit into a taco I'm telling you I never spit something out so fast. That taco was all wet and it really ruined my experience of getting anything with a flour tortilla that isn't fried. The texture of the wet taco was enough for me to never ever order them again however I will say that they have good tasting taco meat just maybe go with a burrito or something cause the tacos just weren't that great. Their churros are absolutely perfect. Definitely get one or 3.“
“Agave is one of my favorite bars in Hartford! There are so many things to love. First, I love their happy hour specials (both food and drinks). Second, I love their Sangriarita and any flavored margaritas! They will even let you mix flavors, I recommend mixing mango and guava! Third, I love their chicken chimichanga, it's my go to meal every time. Fourth is their endless chips and salsa. Fifth, it's a great restaurant or bar to go to before or after any event at the XL Center. Sixth, I enjoy their decor, it has a great welcoming atmosphere, including fun music. Last but not least, they love any excuse to celebrate. They will have drink specials for days such as national tequila day which are always fun to attend. Check this place out for yourself!“

“I was went in just to see what the fuss was all about, I enjoyed the food, everything was made to perfection from the fresh tasting lemonade, to the Street elote corn. I ordered the Birria tacos and I can't say enough how great they were. Definitely enjoyed the food, the staff was great and the environment was relaxing. Definitely planning on making future visits.“
“We visited this weekend and we thought it was pretty great!! The menu is huge and it actually has a lot of American dishes available which surprised us. The outdoor patio is covered and a nice added bonus, the inside looks very colorful and spacious but we ate outside. Just like most Mexican restaurants they give you complementary chips and salsa- I’m picky about my salsa and theirs passed with flying colors. Very traditional, refreshing and delicious. We also ordered queso, it was a very thick heavy queso, similar to Frontera’s if you’ve ever had it. You get a decent portion, with only two of us eating we took about half home to enjoy later. My boyfriend had the fajitas which he said were great, and I ordered the shrimp tacos. My tacos were very good, but they had the same peppers and onions filling that came with the fajitas, so to me they felt more like shrimp fajitas, however still delicious, would order again. They didn’t have a drink menu printed yet but I’m always looking for great margaritas and this place does it right. Their house margarita is authentic, not sweet at all, with a good kick. I also tried a flavored one, it was a little sweet for me so I’d stick with the house next time or ask for a little less flavor. We are excited to get back and try some different things soon.“
“We were in Hartford for the weekend, and were hungry for lunch as we were heading out of town. We looked for something interesting on yelp, and found the Mercado. We went in, and went to the last counter down the line, as they had these amazing Columbian Tamales. I had never seen such big and round tamales. They are to die for. Perfectly cooked, well spiced, and just simply delicious. Went very well with the fried plantains. Very much enjoyed.“

“Came here for dinner and drinks on Christmas Eve Eve (12/23) which was a Saturday night. They were pretty busy but we were immediately seated. Service was excellent, our waiter wasn't too pushy but came by at appropriate intervals to check on things. Loved the chips and salsa, definitely spicier house salsa than other places we've gone to, and it was delicious! My fiancé ordered one of the many margaritas and I ordered a glass of Chardonnay. I was disappointed they didn't have any other white wine available as I wasn't feeling a mixed drink, but not a big deal. My fiancé had the Gran Papi (I think that's what it was called) and I ordered the Border Bowl with shrimp. All of the food was delicious and tasted really fresh. Even the fried/breaded foods were not overly greasy. We will definitely be coming back.“
“We love this place! Authentic Mexican food and restaurant. People usually order out so we love coming here and enjoying the place with our daughter who LOVES the food. the Young lady who owns/cooks is very nice to our family. We just love good Mexican food!“
“The food was absolutely amazing. I am originally from the West Coast and have been missing authentic tacos. We drove 40 min for these tacos and it was completely worth it. The service was absolutely amazing and the dining area was decorated nicely. 100% recommend“
“I'm grateful that a random craving and Google search led us to this lovely establishment! It is such a cute spot!! Everyone is friendly, full of smiles and jokes!! But y'all... THE FOOD..... THE. FOOD!! Is so good and flavorful. You don't even need the house made salsa, guac and sour cream but they sure don't take away from how fresh and delicious everything is. It really feels like someone's abuelita was in the kitchen working some magic. I tore those tacos up when we got home. Sorry I was so involved with my tacos that I forgot all about taking a picture. They hooked us up!!! I'm already planning a return trip!“
“Sometimes it's good to have your taste buds try something new. Las tortaz is one of the many restaurants at Parkville Market in Hartford. Workers are very professional and prepare orders promptly. A wide variety of Tack options are offered and they have deals where you can get 3 Tacos for $10 or 5 Tacos for $15. There is also the option to make your Tacos loaded with lettuce, cheese, tomato, avocado, and crema. The tacos were very mouth-watering and I couldn't even eat all 3 so I had leftovers. A great place to celebrate your Taco Tuesday if you are ever in the Hart“
“Went here for dinner for the first time this past Friday. My friend and I ordered shrimpBurritos. Absolutely delicious!! It was so good I took a family friend back the next night. Once again we ordered the shrimp burritos because they were so incredible the first time. We sat at the bar and Barbara was our server. She was so friendly and accommodating. This little Mexican restaurant definitely made me feel like I was in a cantina somewhere in Mexico and really enjoyed talking with Barbara. Thank you.“
