I don't want to give such a harsh rating, but I just wasn't happy with the food, service, or environment. For one thing, it was absolutely FREEZING. No heat whatsoever and they refused to close the door. I asked if they could and she claimed that there basically was no door or whatever and then as we were leaving we see the door is finally shut. We had to freeze during our entire meal and then you shut the door right before we go? It's 50°! Close the door! I got the 3 tacos. I thought the food would be good because of the reviews, but the steak tacos were bland and oddly very GRITTY in texture & the chips came with no guac or salsa. If you want the waitress (the receipt said Rachel) to come back because you need something, good luck with that! She was polite, but practically non-existent & spent a lot of time in the kitchen window on her phone, & we didn't get water until we asked for it. I would have loved a dip for my tacos since they were kind of dry & seemingly without seasoning. I called her over a few times, but she didn't hear me and by the time she finally came I was done eating & didn't need a dip. Wouldn't recommend & wouldn't return. Unfortunately the food was basic and I think they have better at Taco Bell. My boyfriend had a very little meat. The bananas were good. And I don't know how they will have a business in the winter if they refuse to close the door when it's freezing. If you're worried about looking closed because there's no window on the door, change the door! And change the decor while you're at it because it was pretty tacky and random.

Exceeded my expectations! I ordered through door dash and was so happy with the quality considering it was delivery. The salsa tasted so fresh and the chips are definitely homemade. They tasted like they'd just come out the fryer after 30 sec in the microwave. For my entree I got the Chicken Burrito which was amazing. It had so much flavor and was huge. Half of it is plenty to fill even the biggest appetite. I will definitely order from here again!

Nice little quaint spot in hamden. We were greeted by a nice young lady who sat us and gave us menus. They were out of Margarita mix so we had soda...they were also out of ice. I was ready to go at that point but decided to give the food a try. Very fresh ingredients and nice portions! The fajitas come out sizzling on cast iron plate, great plating as well. It lacked something in the seasoning. The soup was amazing and it hit the spot! It was needed because it was chilly inside. Also seem to have ventilation issues as they were cooking it got smokey and they opened the front door!!! More cold air!!! It was a decent lunch just can't enjoy my meal if I am not comfortable!

Quality meat and the Tortas were good. This would also be my pick for romantic and or first date as it just has a romantic little village in Mexico vibe. If I had to be nit picky I would point out there is not a lot of seating but the outside seating would be very nice at night.

I ordered steak nachos to go and the food wasn’t hot, they were charging $1 for sour cream in itty bitty containers. I won’t be coming back nor do I recommend
