Sayulita has excellent tacos, but they’re not classic/authentic
You want "authentic" you go to the origin. Otherwise, it's all "-ish", regardless of cuisine.Sayulita has excellent tacos, but they’re not classic/authentic
I wasnt aware of Arbys Taco's .
But the New Haven trucks are absolutely better than 97% of the crap you get in this state.
I dont expect a bunch of pansies on the boneyard who havent been up and down mexico eating de buche, lengua, and cabeza tacos to agree with me, but I can get all those on long wharf. Hit the yellow La Patrona truck or the Black truck.
Sorry you want a flour tortilla with microwaved chicken.
LOLOLOLOL.The was a place down in Old Saybrook that was pretty good. I don’t remember the name, cuckoos nest maybe?
Lmaooo that’s exactly rightFigured people would have good recommendations because of yesterday.
lol, ya, it isn't good! But I guess for something quick and cheap, it is suitable for those who live on the shoreline.Lol - Ouch. To be fair, I haven't been there in 40 years. It may have gotten worse or my standards may have been lower. Or maybe I just like bad Mexican? Who can say?
I'll get lit up for it because it's sort of a chain restaurant, but I've always liked Sierra Grill as a quick meal if in Norwalk or Stamford.Tacos El Azteca in Norwalk. There’s a lot of good ones in Norwalk.

Let me know when they offer chapulines or de sesos.
They are also a perennial ballot stuffer for Connecticut Magazine’s “Best of” edition. Their prime demographic is comprised of the types of people who vote in those things. I think that is their sole marketing plan at this point.It always been inauthentic mexican, (which is fine, I mean its its own thing which I have no problem eating if quality) but it was a decent restaraunt 40 years ago, hell, even 30 years ago. They paid attention to quality and the cajun offerings back then were more than decent. There has been a couple ownership changes since.
its been over 20 years since that place has put out food they could be proud of.
And the jokes on me because Ive thought that and known that for 20 years and somehow end up there once or twice a year still. Never by my choice. But family, or friends, or work......... somehow that is the meeting spot that is chosen.
And I say to myself "maybe this time"
and then laugh after dinner and say "why am I an optimist" ?
Tacos La Rosa in Willimantic. Nothing else even comes close in this state.
The only important question here is if the BY is more flour or corn tortilla types
Its literally the worst restaraunt on shoreline.
That couldn't be further from the truth.Every city in America has good Mexican restaurants. Most towns too.
Really, find a city that doesn't have good Mexican. Little Rock? Seattle? Atlanta? Des Moines? They have excellent Mexican places. Sometimes the kitchen is El Salvadorian or Costa Rican or Guatamalan, but it's all good and authentic.That couldn't be further from the truth.
Cool story, I know Mexican people to. I've never had good Mexican in CT. or really anywhere on the east coast. Are there probably some little hole in the walls that are decent to good, sure but most small cities and towns don't have truly good Mexican food. I've had stuff recommended to me back east and it isn't even real Mexican food.Really, find a city that doesn't have good Mexican. Little Rock? Seattle? Atlanta? Des Moines?

I used to travel with two guys of Mexican heritage, one from San Antonio and one from Los Angeles. We ate at Mexican restaurants in many cities. They would often ask for the hot sauce from the kitchen (which was too hot for me). I asked them how they found the places we ate at. It was their opinion you could always find a good Mexican place no matter where you went. Please excuse me if I take their opinions over yours.
