41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Woodbridge

“Really great! I’d put it in my top 3 Mexican places in CT (the others being Taquerias Las Salsas in Bridgeport and Don Memo in Westport - very different experiences). Great salsa, delicious al pastor quesadilla, solid enchiladas. Will definitely be back for more.“

“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.“

“Fantastic!!! Great quality food and very good portion size for the price! The empanadas were heavenly. The steak was yummy and the burrito bowl shell was a nice surprise. You can tell the food was fresh and made with care. I highly recommend!!“

“Waited way too long to try this place. Absolutely excellent Mexican food. Had the pozole rojo which was delicious. The broth especially was so good. Also had a carnita taco. Not sure I've ever had pork so flavorful and tender. I wanted to try their salsa but here it's not complimentary and I was too full to order it. But will try it on the next visit“

“Today We went to Taco Central because we were in the mood for Mexican food. The food was great as was the service from our waitress Liliam who recommended a La Parrillada and steak fajita that were very delicious.We also tried a couple of strawberry flavored margaritas that were great. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“If you like fresh, creative and delicious tacos and sides dishes than this is the place! First of all- clean, bright and tastefully decorated. Then the food…fresh and Made with attention to detail. All the tacos are great but especially the rib eye and fish tacos are next level. They are balanced with their flavors, seasoning, spices,textures and acidity. Their side sauces are amazing!! Seriously, I could put those sauces on my shoe and eat it with joy. Moderately priced and good service make this laid back taqueria a go to place. You won’t regret it.“

“I have been an avid fan of Vivas for thr last 30yrs. I started going there in college, and I fell in love w the food, the owners, and the ambience. Kathy and Bruce sold the place, and I hadn't gone to check it out until this passed week... still amazing! The new owner commands the helm and demands perfection; he is ready to please. My wife had a fantastic monitor, fresh and delicious ?. We shared churros and I took some empanadas home; both were spot on. The crowd was fun, the place filled... soccer adorned the screens, and pleasant music filled our ears. Nothing has changed with the decor,, and that's a good thing; if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Vivas is a must do if you are in New Haven, CT and looking for a cool place to eat and socialize. 5 stars ?“

“Best tacos I've found in New Haven. Hands down. And I've been looking for the past 8 months. Search is over now.To the reviews complaining about greasy tacos - If you don't like juicy, salted meats then go get you some dry as Chipotle.Saudero was so legit. Takes me back to the trucks in my old neighborhood in East Oakland except you can pay with a credit card here and no one is asking for your change.Ask yourself a question - Do you, si, want an authentic experience that takes you on a journey, are you, no, looking for a generic Americanized food product? If your answer to the questions is si, buen provecho!“

“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“

“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 here based on a friend’s recommendation. Got the Mexican food. So authentic and absolutely delicious! Got three different tacos, enchiladas,burrito andrice and beans! What a flavor bomb, quality ingredients, fresh and plenty of value. I loved it and would highly recommend. Dont miss this hidden gem!“

“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.“

“It was awesome. Great view and yummy food. I highly recommend everyone to try them out at least once. I will definitely come here again in the near future. Loved the food and music.Parking: There was plenty of free parking when I went. Street parking.“

“We love Baja's! The salsa bar is always delicious and fresh, the margaritas are enjoyable, and the entrees are always yummy. I typically order the mango shrimp platter, which comes with 2 tortillas for making one's own burritos. The shrimp is flavorful, and the mango salsa is absolutely perfect!The staff is very friendly and warm, we feel so comfortable every time we eat there. We consider Baja's "our place" and when we want to eat out but don't want to make a fuss, we happily retreat to Baja's.“

“The food was very good, the service was excellent, the place is very nice for the decoration, the only thing I recommend is that they update the prices on the menu, because when you go to pay you get the surprise that it is more than what it says the menu and one is left with the annoyance.“

“I went on vacation, I was looking for a place to have dinner and they recommended me here. Excellent food, quality service, exquisite drinks and the decoration is perfect to spend a very pleasant time. My whole family was very satisfied...thank you!!!“

“Amazing Al pastor tacos and carnitas burritos. Carnitas was juicy, rice was well seasoned and pillowy. Al pastor great depth of flavors and juicy. The red hot sauce was bomb Highly recommend this whole in the wall. Beats out a lot of taco trucks at the wharf. Will try the birria tacos next time“

“Great experience- food was delicious and brought out in a good time after ordering - our waitress was very attentive. A little noisy towards the end of our meal with a larger party coming in. Also appreciated having parking covered by the restaurant as well !“

“Really great take out that we had. The steak entrée is a bit spicy due to the jalapenos, but it was cooked very well for a take out order. The tinga chimichanga was also fabulous as well as the chips and guac. I would definitely order from this place again.“

“One of Milford's best downtown restaurants. Many tapas and entrees to choose from and don't forget to pay attention to the nightly specials, they are remarkable. Sometimes I go there just for a glass of wine and David's au gratin potatoes- to die for! The outside eating area makes you feel like you are in Barcelona, Portugal or the south of France. Staff is very accommodating, Juan and Meaghan are our favorites!“

“What an incredible taco truck! We came across it while looking for somewhere to stop for lunch whilst driving through the area. They are so friendly and the tacos are amazing! We tried several and they're all delicious, and the salsas they came with are so tasty!“

“I was in Puebla last week and woke up craving a cemita today. I couldn’t believe I found such an amazing one so close - it would have been worth the drive from anywhere. This is by far the best Mexican food I’ve had in CT. The cemitas, tacos árabes and agua de maracuyá were all perfect. I can’t wait to come back often!“

“Every time I come here I'm never disappointed. The happy hour is one of the best happy hours I've been too. The service is impeccable. The shrimp cerviche was really good too, just need more tortilla chips on the side! Helps soak up the delicious sauce it comes with. The street corn (elote) amazing. Awesome place!“

“First time after driving by for a cple years.Got the pollo burrito with everything.First, the flavor was outstanding, you could taste poblano peppers in the sauce, which was a unique substitution from the typical verde sauce ingredients from surrounding taquerias in New Haven county.Also, the chicken, the rice, the beans, all had their own flavor that, when mixed together with each other, married them all for a very satisfying taste.The burrito as a whole was well sized. The chix to rice and beans ratio was fair for the price. I liked the substitution of cabbage instead of lettuce, which I was worried about in the beginning, The burrito was sauced well, but not sloppy or soaking wet. The tortilla held up nicely throughout the entire burrito and didn't tear or fall apart, but it was still tender and soft enough that it was easy to eat.I highly recommend trying El Poblano if you're in the area and in the mood for some Americanized-Mexican food with authentic Mexican flavor.The only thing I will say, which ultimately isn't THAT bad, is the price. It was $11 for the Chix burrito. Steak/shrimp and lengua(I think) was $13. So it's on the higher end when compared to similar spots in the area, but you get a larger portion size, delicious, and slightly unique burrito, served up fast.The woman was very pleasant and you can tell that they take pride in their food and their restaurant.The restaurant was very clean.Parking: Small lot, so if it was busier I would've had to wait for someone else to leave first.“

“Best of pizza I've had in 10 years!! Excellent value, I got a meat lovers Pizza and it was loaded!! Everything cooked to perfection. The crust the meet the cheese everything. I would have given them 10 Stars if I! I gave them five stars for atmosphere because they're so nicen and very clean!“

“Love that you can order single tacos. Order yucca fries everytime I go there. Never have enough room for dessertParking: Tried stree eceral times, ended up in free parking in the lot across the street. Walk over was a little dicey due to the ice.“

“If you haven’t had a chance to stop at El Taco Dorado, here’s the reminder! Consider grabbing a bite to eat from there the next time you’re hungry and in the downtown area. The food is amazing! El Taco Dorado has DEFINITELY made it’s stamp on the corner of College and Elm street!“

“Manny catered a surprise party that we hosted - pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, turkey, empanadas. The food was excellent and everyone was very happy! He was super easy to work with, the prices were reasonable and everything was awesome! Definitely recommend him!“

“This place now is my favorite Spanish food spot in East Haven. I know me some tacos and they got the whole situation correct. 4 was too many. THE SAUCES my goodness.... I felt refreshed and clean after eating 4 chicken tacos and my chocolate milkshake (highly recommended) I also get the spinach empanadas which are phenomenal.You will be greeted by lovely ladies that make you feel welcomed. Your food is ready quickly (I will only come here for my lunch bc they don't make you wait after you call in, plus the sweetness and respect from the employees go a long way for me)They deserve recognition and I wish I had something close to this in my town.Thank you ladies :):“

“ORALE, the food was amazing! This is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I ordered the steak torta and my husband ordered shrimp tacos. It was the best torta that I've ever had and my husband could not stop talking about how delicious his steak tacos were. I used their chile de arbol and made sure to add it to every bite. The atmosphere itself is pretty small and needs some updating and they only had one person on the floor while it was pretty busy but that didnt really affect the service as much as I was expecting. Despite all of that, my food was superb and we will definitely be returning.“

“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!“

“I don't usually give reviews but this place was amazing! Every staff member we passed on the way to our table smiled and greeted us. Our reservation went from 8 down to 5 people. Then 2 of our party were an hour late. We put our order in at 7 and told the waiter that we had an 8 o'clock show to catch- I was impressed with how fast the food came out! We made it in time for the show. The margaritas were wonderful. Everyone was very happy with their food and the service was fantastic!“

“So I went to Ikea nade a wrong turn ended up by a line of food trucks. Being hungary I stopped. I was disapponted when I scene 99% of food trucks were Mexican. I am not a huge fan of mexican food so i googled food trucks on dwarf this place had decent reviews. I got Taco de birria it was really good. It was a bit pricey because I got a juice whose flavor turned out to be one I don't like nothing to do with the food truck I just dont like the flavor anywhere. Anyways I wouldnt eat here again because I dont like mexican but if I had to eat on this strip again I would definitely eat here.“

“Opted for a torta at lunch time. The green salsa was super spicy and crazy delicious. The side of guac and chips equally good. Mexicalli stands out since it is the only black truck on Long Wharf. Overall love Food Truck Paradise, reminding me of the taco trucks back in California. Definitely not as cheap, but pretty tasty and a nice break from pizza.“

“The food is good and freshly made. The staff is always so n friendly and nice without being talkative, which I appreciate. It’s always really clean and fast and they are good with my allergens too. I’d recommend it.Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to milk and they make sure to take it off after asking of course.Parking: Parking lot around back.“

“Love this place. The atmosphere is great. The staff is very friendly, & the food is great. Haven't had a bad meal yet. They also have monstrous margaritas.Parking: There's plenty of parking w/ 3-4 lots to choose from.Kid-friendliness: This is my go to spot for daddy/daughter dates.“

“Stopped by 1 afternoon for some traditional Mexican and this place did not disappoint. It is a mid size spot in the center of town in Wallingford. When you walk there are about 6 tables with the person taking orders by the register. The place is super casual and the girl working on the front super friendly. We had burritos and tostadas which were very good. The burrito which was what I had was super big and flavorful. Burritos are one of those meals that you can't go wrong with. The tostadas were what you would expect, crunchy with lots of toppings. Definitely a place to stop by while in Wallingford.“

“Found at the Long Wharf food trucks. Great authentic Mexican food at a great price. Nothing fancy, but you have a great view of Long Island Sound whole you enjoy your food.Parking: Parking can be tough to find on nice days. But there are alot of spaces.“

“We did take out and we only wish the portions were bigger because the food was amazing, creative, and a breath of fresh air for the kind of things that are usually around the area. We're sad we just learned of it as we're moving cross country but we hope this place continues to thrive.“

“Came in for Sunday lunch after a long time not having visited. Last time I visited was when their tacos were still $2.50 each! However, food was still good, particularly the Al Pastor tacos and green tamales! I just wish they automatically gave condiments for the tacos instead of having to request limes and hot sauce/ salsa. This is a simple, no fuss restaurant. Food is good, staff is friendly. Their tres leches was not fluffy and soaked to a sickly sweet level- and that's coming from a sweet tooth! Additionally- the lighting was a bit strange. Despite going at 12:30ish, the restaurant was dim with most tables being lit with red lightbulbs which was very off-putting. Hopefully this can be taken in consideration in any future changes!“

“Food was amazing ! I ordered birria tacos and they were just great ! Filling with lots of meat and the consume was even better.. I also got tacos de carne asada and the meat was so flavorful and the salsa verde was so yummy and fresh. Lastly I got an elote and can I say fresh ! I would definitely return. Dining is very small , I would call and take out next time. Customer service was good as well . Keep up the amazing work ?“
