The best Birria Tacos! The flavor of the meat and salsa are so good.

My family decided to check out this new place on a quiet rainy Saturday night. There was no one inside and we saw a few people pick up orders to go while we were there. There's a handful of tables with low back seats and a few counters with stools. We tried an assortment of various items, including guacamole, flautas, multiple tacos and maracuya agua fresca, as well as a weekend only birria. The food was fantastic, about as authentic as you can get in CT. This isn't a buttermilk fried chicken taco or crunchwrap type of place. You're coming here because you miss real Mexican food. Look at the restaurant name. It's a clean, no frills, straight forward place. The suadero and birria were standouts for me, along with perfect salsas on the side. I'll be back for pick up orders, unless they can entice me with some corona and Liga MX playing on the walls.

Having worked in LA and being ruined by good Latino food on every corner, it is difficult to find good Tacos in CT, unless you are in Hartford or Waterbury. This place reminds me of Los Taco's No1 in NYC. The Birria had nice flavor and crispy Corn Tortilla, the salsas are really fresh. Don't just take my word for it, try it for yourself!

The guac was some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was really fresh and authentic tasting. I got the steak burrito and it was excellent. Highly recommend.

The tacos were delicious and some of the most authentic tasting in Connecticut. The tortillas are made in-house. Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend people to try it.

This place is a gem. The staff are very personable and so kind. But most importantly, the food is amazing! Ive been there 4 times now and I will keep going back. - Birria Tacos (weekends only) are by far the best Ive ever had. The meat is flavorful on its own and the dipping soup adds another layer of flavor - Pork Carnitas are my favorite taco so far. The meat is very well seasoned and cooked. they dont skimp on the filling either! They also have the best sauces (a green and red) to add to your tacos. The red is well balanced flavor and spice (not too spicy). - Aquafresca - the best juice ever. They offer different flavors every day. I tried the tropical punch and it tastes like fresh tropical fruit. Its not artificial tasting at all. - They make their own tortillas which can be appreciated when eating in the restaurant. As with any other place, they will get soggy if you get takeout. This might be the reason for a couple poor reviews. I highly recommend trying this place and eat in the restaurant if you can!

I cannot say enough about this place! The owner/chef is one of the nicest people to talk to! And he is so unbelievably humble. His front cashiers are always so attentive and thoughtful. And somehow his food that was already 10/10 keeps getting better?!?! I am so that we have this in Middletown! Best tacos (and Esquite) EVER!!!!
