    Counter style ordering
    Renee T.

    We arrived around noon and there was only one other table eating at this cute, small restaurant. The restaurant was clean, tidy and we received a smile from the server behind the counter. I decided to try the Taco Salad and upgraded to steak for the protein. Johnny tried the blackened chicken burrito. So, orders placed and paid for, we go to sit down. For drink options, there really aren't many. There is a small glass case offering water and sodas, that's it. We grabbed our yeti's from the car and just drank our own waters. The food order once complete was yelled out loud (we are still one of two, 2 tops in the restaurant. Personally, I would have brought our food out but whatever. Mex on Main has a lovely salsa bar, probably the best part of our experience. Several different sauces (mild, medium and spicy as well as a green verde delicious sauce. Some tomatoes and onions marinated and pickled jalapeños. Please offer fresh jalapeños in the future. Johnny's blackened chicken burrito was pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked beautifully and moist and tender, but a little less chipotle sauce would be appreciated as just so much. Overall a solid B+ for the burrito. The steak taco salad sadly was not a star. They use iceberg lettuce and not much of it, some black beans, grated very cold cheese lol, a few tomatoes guacamole and sour cream. It's a small salad also so do not order it if you are very hungry. Honestly without the salsa bar, it was a sad fail, but after I added some spicy red salsa, some cholula it was better. This restaurant has the right idea, but needs tweaking. To fix the steak taco salad, we recommend a mixed bag of lettuce (baby spring mix and plenty of it) fresh jalapeños, cilantro, true pico (lime, fresh jalapeños, tomatoes, onions, cilantro), black beans or borracho beans, with the salsa of your choosing. The burrito was good, just less chipotle sauce and it would be cravable. We are definitely coming back because we are hoping it's a gem in the making.

    Chili Lime Salad

    So delicious! I always get the Chili Lime Salad and no matter the protein it's fresh, delicious, and so filling. Easy to get to in Trumbull. Delivery is always faster than they say, and friendly when ordering in person. The restaurant itself is cute too if you stop in for a bite and always clean and organized at the counter with fast service. Great variety and local Mexican food. Their empanadas as well as the queso and guacamole? So good!

    Burrito Bowl
    Anika T.

    Small little restaurant in a shopping plaza type of area plenty of parking. It is more like a fast food type of restaurant there are tables that you can sit and eat at but you order at the counter and wait for your food to come and then you sit down. We had a burrito bowl, taco salad and chicken burrito and churros. The taco salad was ok they use the same shredded lettuce for tacos as they do for salsa so the salad got quite mushy. The quac was very mushy too like it was squeezed out of a bag. We also order queso and chips I think this was the best part of the meal. Queso had a medium kick to it and was very nice and creamy and the chips were homemade. The burrito bowl was ok the chicken was good but the rice was super so dente. The chicken burrito was good but a bit small. Churros we're almost not edible as they were extra crispy and I feel they sat out a while maybe under a heat light. The staff was very nice and friendly They do take credit card and there is plenty of parking

When my wife and I finally did, we were hooked. We have been going there now for about ten years. It truly is the best Mexican food. Tonight I had two chicken enchiladas with red Guahillo sauce, and topped with sour cream, diced green onions, and queso fresco. Wow. the flavors! It also came with rice (very flavorful) and black beans (amazing). A real fulfilling and generously filling meal for less than $15. My wife had a black bean burrito. It was huge. She loved it, but only ate half of it. For less than $10. I will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I wonder why some reviewers were not very happy. Perhaps their point of reference is Taco Bell, or some other Americanized Mexican style food. Viva Mexicali Rose!

No, but it is a decent burrito for its price of $11. It has great flavor in the ingredients are fresh. This is a place my wife and I go to often when we're looking for a quick bite to eat that's not too expensive. I have also tried their crunchy tacos, which are also very good but I will say they do not travel that well and are better to eat there. If you're looking for a no-frills Mexican spot that won't break the bank, this is the place for you.

The menu had a large selection of burgers, seafood options (think fish and chips, fried cod, fish platter, lobster sandwich, etc) and even BBQ (ribs, pulled pork, and brisket).

My friends order fish and chips and the pulled pork sandwich. Everyone thought their meal was okay. Cocktails are on the stronger side, which my friends appreciated. There's is plenty of seating and parking, and there's also patio seating. It seems like the kind of place that has a good vibe on weekends when all the boaters are out, but it was quiet on a Monday night. Service was very friendly and, despite reading they charge an extra fee for use of a credit card, our bill did not have a surcharge.

Highly recommend each of these: Bodegarita - Cazadores, luxardo triplum, lime juice, agave...this is their classic marg. Nice balance, well mixed. Bodega Original Guacamole...fantastic. Basic in a good way. Very avocado forward. Not over-salted. The chips were fresh and not salty..again in a really good way. I did ask for a few lime wedges to add a little juice, but the guac was excellent. Pork Carnitas - Crispy potatoes, onion, serrano-avocado crema, cilantro...very good. Americano - Seasoned ground beef, manchego cheese, salsa de russa, crispy taco...kinda unique. A little like a big mac meets a taco. Unexpected but very glad I tired. Gambas - Seared ancho chili shrimp, cucumber-mango salsa, chipotle mayo...my favorite one. 5-start taco. Chicken Tinga - Tomato braised chicken, cotija cheese, mexican crema...excellent as well. Service was very good. Attentive, prompt and gave good/accurate recommendations. Didn't laugh at all my jokes. That's ok- few do. Set back from the Post Road, I must have driven passed here a million times. Unassuming storefront. Cozy spot. 5 table tops and 5-ish tables. A nice bar w/ excellent tequila options. The decor matches the food and experience if that makes sense. No brainer 5 stars from me. I'll be back and I'll certainly recommend.

    Road trip to Boston…read more.. Needless to say it was a Friday afternoon and traffic was a pain from the start. A quick little yelp search and we had an instant detour for some sustenances, while we let the other motorist continue on their way. Bodega, located in a small little shopping strip, is also small and quaint. Not much wiggle room so be prepared to be neighborly. We arrived half past 4, just in time for HH @ the bar. So we grabbed some seats at the end of the bar where Alex the bartender took care of us. We started with Passionritas (passion fruit margs) and guacamole. Both were equally delish and the guac is bowl licking worthy. However, I do not recommend since you are dinning in public. Lol. In addition we ordered the bodega blistered brussels sprouts and baja tacos to share. The sprouts were an absolute stand out. I opted for the Mexico City Ceasar Salad with Salmon. Presented slightly deconstructed, which didn't take anything away from the great taste. We had an absolute great experience from Alex our bartender whom was very impressionable to Diego (possible manager) whom also made a nice impression. We tried a few more margs before our departure. With the hibiscus being one of my faves. A wonderful spontaneous detour, that will now be a welcomed stop on future road strips north. Just A Note: - HH @ the Bar only (Tues-Fri 4-6pm) - You can take Bodegaritas to-go they have them bottled for sale.
