    Located it 5 minutes from exit 53 Merrit Parkway.

    El Cafecito Deli ( little coffee) has a lots of options for those who wants to eat not just the regular sandwiches but maybe eat some tacos or quesadillas. I am fan of Pupusas ( Central America famous dish ) they usually serve the dish with pickled cabbage and sauce. They offer different ingredients for the pupusas like pork ( chicharrón ) beans and squash. usually pupusas made to order so PLEASE CALL BEFORE 10 o 15 minutes if you want to try Pupusas.

    Not the best photo..  but this is their house made cheese.. sooo yummy!

    Ok... so I couldn't be happier that this place opened up! Being Latina myself, I was a bit skeptical at first... however they did bl ot disappoint! We (husband and I) have been there a total of 3 times already. We tried the pupusas, breakfast sandwich homemade cheese and their "cafesito breakfast" all amazing! Oh, and their hospitality is phenomenal (as another reviewer mentioned) so warm and welcoming.

    The pupusas were good I like how the meat was seasoned and they did not take long to bring me my order.

They have a Happy Hour seven days a week, with several discounted beers, cocktails, and food items. Live entertainment is frequently offerred. The menus are pub & tavern style foods, and on Sundays they offer a nicely rounded brunch menu. Our bartender/server Ashley (who was servimg a busy bar and entire restaurant area alone) was focused and efficient and readily understood and embraced sarcasm from her tendees. The manager, Todd, was vigilant without being imposing, and obviously had a firm grip on the flow throughout the restaurant. I had the Barn Burger that was prepared and presented very nicely, and I chose the Caesar Salad over fries, which turned out to be the right choice as it was one of the best Caesar Salads I've ever had. The wife had the Frittata and loved it. We also split a Fondue Pub Chips - house made potato chips with several wonderful toppings.The signature cocktails were very different, priced well, and did the job. In totality, the experience was fantastic and I can see this place as the place everyone will want to be in 2026 and beyond. Operated by a group of restauranteurs that run several other chic restaurants in our area. UPDATE: We came back here five days later and I had a Pork Chop Scarpariello (excellent) and the wife had an Arthur Avenue Meatball Spring Roll with marinara sauce dip (amazingly good) and the Chinese Chicken Salad (excellent also).

    Still great in 2025!…read more Had the jamming burger specials with the yummy jammified onions and they satisfied the burger craving without fault. The pretzel bites were also salty and bready nuggets of deliciousness. Service was great and friendly! It doesn't have a particularly great look outside or inside (mostly a bar with some tall tables and several large screen tvs) but they are consistently good with their flavorful offerings, which is what matters most.

The restaurant wasn't busy so we sat at the bar to watch football. We ordered wings and the special tacos of the day which were eye of the round tomatillo tacos with pico. We get the buffalo sauce and cajun dry rub on our wings which were 5 stars. The tacos not so much. For $15 the three tacos were tiny, 3 pieces of eye of the round on two tacos, 4 on third. The pico was tomatoes with a tiny piece of jalapeno and onion in water, weird. The tomatillo sauce was ok, but not the best. We LOVE this place but these tacos missed the mark. Service was good. At the end, Lauren took over. She was friendly and introduced herself to us and others at the bar. She mostly cashed us out, but we liked her friendliness. Go with confidence, it's a great local bar/restaurant with good, friendly service.

    We have a longstanding tradition of ordering Wellington's on New Year's Eve. Well- even traditions…read moremust come to end because we will never be ordering from there again. Rumor has it the restaurant has changed ownership in the last year- and if that's true- can the old owners buy it back? There has been such a decline in food quality and service! Let's begin with all the ways the food was subpar. First- my mother did the fixed price menu. They forgot one of her courses entirely. The shrimp cocktail was not in the building. Not that it's a huge loss- you get four measley shrimp. Then, the lamb chops were supposed to come with arugula- and the "salad" was a weird container of lettuce and cannellini beans- beans were never mentioned anywhere on this menu. We honestly didn't even know whose meal that was supposed to pair with because nothing like it was on the entire menu. Food allergy risk anybody? The lamb chops were also bone dry- no trace of the reduction or glacier sauce that the menu specified. The worst offense of all were the salad dressings. They were completely inedible! The balsamic vinaigrette was just pure vinegar- like get out your Easter eggs to dye because that's really all you can do with straight vinegar. The raspberry vinaigrette had the consistency of a jam and lo and behold, tasted like a container of raspberry jam. Another was pure olive oil and the honey mustard was oily and way too honey- I think they forgot the mustard part. On top of the food being a total train wreck- the worst part was the service. From start to finish the staff was rude and made it seem like they were doing us a favor by serving us- that's your literal job! Both when we placed the order, picked up the food AND when my mom drove back to get her missing course they acted like we were such an inconvenience and annoyance. For the prices they charge- all of this was unacceptable. Pack orders correctly. Make edible food. Treat your customers with the slightest bit of hospitality. It's not hard to figure out. It's worth noting that when we returned for our missing course another customer was there demanding money back for spoiled food they were given on new years as well. Patrons of Shelton- raise your standards! We don't have a ton of higher end dining options and thus the ones we do have need to exceed expectations. Unfortunately, or maybe it's actually fortunately for us, we won't be back.

The warm Brussels tower paired with a crispy risotto cake, sweet plumped dried cranberries, and the most incredible whipped parmesan dressing! Perfection!

My son always raved over their Mac N' cheese and this is where he wanted us to take him for his 22nd birthday, he wanted their Mac N' cheese, so both my son and my other son's girlfriend ordered the mac & cheese. They took about four bites and my son decided it's different. It's not like it used to be doesn't taste right. Nonetheless, he was disappointed on his birthday. Beside that, our food was good. But the first noticeable thing was our server a waitress, she was pretty rude even though we were very nice to her. After we'd gotten home my other son looked it up and seen a few reviews on the service of this very same waitress/server. We dined there on 05/06/26 . And got there about 8:30-9:00pm
