    Huevos rancheros up front and a steak omelet in the back
    Paula L.

    Pulling up to this restaurant looks a little scary. It doesn't look like it's going to be good food or a good place. However, the staff is super friendly and efficient. The place is clean. And the food is super yummy. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely a place to go for a solid breakfast.

    Eggs florentine, eggs benedict with bacon, biscuit.
    Gina F.

    This is a great local breakfast spot. Great combination of mexican and american diner. The eggs florentine was surprisingly excellent. If you like an easy, no fuss, no pretense try this. Can recommend the biscuit as well. Was happy to be able to get a half portion to try it. One quibble.... Had to ask for menu/service. Customers who came in after us were served first.

    Mini Classic breakfast.
    Gail B.

    Great locals diner! Parking is tight, but we were there early.(7:30am) Prices are super reasonable in this post pandemic world. They have linguica on the menu too.I ordered a mini classic breakfast, which I would normally make at home. Cleaned my plate!

    Huarache with chorizo. No rice and beans come with it, but it is SO GOOD and a very generous portion like everything else they have here!
    Laura M.

    One of my favorite restaurants ever. They have consistently delicious food and the staff are all so sweet. Top recommendations are the huevos rancheros, flautas, huarache, tostadas, patty melt, the list goes on and on! Everything here is fantastic. Great breakfast/lunch option near Mohegan and just a short drive from Foxwoods. I wish I lived closer or else I would be here a couple times a week.

    Huevos rancheros with ham

    10/10 recommend this place! We found this place after going to the casino and so glad we did. Everything we got was amazing. The Huevos rancheros were delicious and so filling! Service was great, very fast and attentive. Will be coming back here.

    I went with a party of 7, the food took over 45 minutes to get to our table which is way too long for a diner. The food was good, though!

    El Traviezo Mexican Food - Ceviche Tostadas

    El Traviezo Mexican Food

    This was my first time in their new location, which used to be where La Stella was for a long time…read more I was happy to see that meant there were many more customers than I ever saw in their old spot. The space is very bright, some LED string lights and flowers make the ceiling pleasant to look at. Lots of seating across a couple of dining rooms now. The service is off a little bit. Old location was small so they didn't really have anyone that was a waitress, just the bartender was the whole front of the house. The waitress was slow, and treated me like a white dude who had never eaten Mexican before, despite our conversation. I don't know, I don't like being assumed to be ignorant? The ceviche tostadas are what I most associate with El Traviezo, I dream of them, and they do not disappoint. A pile of shrimp, some lime, salsa fresca, crema, on a tostada. Simple, brilliant. The chimichanga also lacked. Some crispy, but then slathered in sour cream to make it soggy. This time I got al pastor, and there were some firm bites of pineapple, but otherwise everything inside was neutral. A lot of cheddar cheese that had no flavor drowned out anything else. In the past I've gotten carnitas inside and will have to return to that to see if the quality of the food has gone down or just that I'm not a fan of their al pastor. Overall, I still love El Traviezo and recommend them, but this was not a five star visit.

    I wanted something basic and easy, so I ordered a cheese quesadilla for lunch. The waitress…read morebrought out chips and a green dip. It wasn't guacamole or salsa. I ended up eating almost all of the chips. Not because they were good, but because it took forever for my lunch to come out. When it finally arrived, the quesadilla was barely grilled. The cheese was bland. There was a very small amount of salsa on top of lettuce. I had to ask for sour cream. That took time as well. This lunch cost $19 which I feel was overpriced considering. I probably won't return.

    The whole experience at Michael Jordan's Steak House was absolutely OUTSTANDING!…read more We started our evening at the bar with a few drinks -- an Espresso Martini and Jordan's Crush -- and both were delicious and the perfect way to start the night. For dinner, we ordered the garlic bread and Flight 23 for Two, and WOW! The garlic bread is an absolute MUST -- do not come here without ordering it! But the steaks were the real star of the night. They were on another level -- perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. This was probably one of the BEST steaks I've ever had! Everything from the drinks to the food, atmosphere, and overall experience was exceptional. If you're staying at Mohegan Sun or even just visiting for the day, Michael Jordan's Steak House needs to be on your list. We will absolutely be back! 10/10!

    First time trying this newly opened Chinese food restaurant. First impression was a well kept and…read moreclean restaurant. It had a nice ambiance and I was greeted right away by a very friendly bartender/owner? From my guess. But welcoming for sure. I have to note, the take out bag was very nice and is much better than the paper bags that can leak or rip. The restaurant website says they use the freshest ingredients and commit to cooking healthier. Honestly, I could taste the freshness in all of the different flavors in both the general Tao's and the Singapore mei fun. The general Tao's sauce tasted very fresh and had a natural sweetness to it rather than the heavier sugar tasting sauces I've had elsewhere. The chicken was much larger pieces which helps with having less fried breading. The fried rice was less greasy as opposed to the usual Chinese restaurants. If you go for the regular friend rice without protein, it is very straight forward in being fried rice. Not the typical pork fried rice with veggies. The Singapore Mei Fun had excellent flavor, I asked for spicy and they did it perfectly. I would absolutely get it again. Portion size was great as well. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. It's worth a try and I plan to check out more of their menu and see how the rest of the food stands out.

    It seems they have good recipes, but technique needs work. Tried general tso chicken and the hot n…read moresour soup. Soup was spiciest one I ever had in my life.
