    Caipirinha
    Kelly Y.

    Mexcla is a great addition to the restaurant scene in Newtown. It has a fun vibe with the table lay outs and cool bar area. We had a late lunch here a few weeks ago and enjoyed everything from drinks to appetizers and entrees. The tableside guacamole was especially fresh and good! Empanadas and the accompanying sauce were also very good! Service was friendly and prompt as well.

    Eight percent charge for using a credit card.

    Beware. I didn't see it in the online menu. I didn't see it in the actual menu. I didn't have cash. I was charged over eight percent for using a credit card. I had the paella. The rice was overcooked and mushy. It was as if they used the same rice that was used for rice and beans (which came with my wife's order) and cooked it again for the paella. My wife had the fajitas. It came with three small tortillas for a decent amount of filling. Six tortillas would have been an appropriate number. I don't know anyone who likes to eat the shells on the tails of shrimp. For some reason, that's how the shrimp were served. It also seemed like they didn't have a waiter assigned to our table. It took almost fifteen minutes for someone to take our drink order. On the otherhand, the sweet plantains were really good. Really, really good.

    Guacamole and Salsa.

    Pleasant place with very good food. Table made Guacamole is plentiful and to order of spiciness. Tacos well filled and a good value. Service friendly, just a little inexperienced.

    My tacos after eating 2, and mug with my modelo beer

    Went mex after church services, went in and was seated immediately, chips and salsa arrived immediately. Ordered modelo beer and steak tacos, service was really good and beer was paired perfectly with the tacos. Overall a really good experience.

Atmosphere, too, is more "pub" than fine dining, but very much in line with what one would expect from this style establishment. Prices, especially by Fairfield County standards, are very reasonable.

A stone fireplace anchors the space while low, ambient lighting, wood tables, and leather seating create an intimate, inviting atmosphere. I was excited to learn that the bar featured Misguided Spirits' Howe & Hummel vodka from New York City. Stirred, it produced a martini with a subtle sweetness and a hint of cracked pepper, served in a classic cocktail glass with an angular bowl and slender stem. The design felt timeless, keeping the drink chilled while offering a crisp, polished presentation, with the Castelvetrano olives taking center stage. When it comes to the food, I have no notes. The wings were perfectly seasoned, with meat that fell off the bone; the Bibb salad was fresh and dressed beautifully with house lemon oil; and the thin, crispy pizza lived up to its name, with bright sauce and fresh toppings. This is a spot you won't want to leave and one you'll be eager to return to, familiar, fun, and full of character.

We ordered the falafel as an appetizer and I will dream of this! You could tell it was freshly made and I don't think I'll ever have falafel that tastes better anywhere else! I had the shepherds pie, and it was delightful. There was a lot of beef and it had a lot of flavor.. even the potatoes had an incredible flavor and it was more than enough as a serving! The waitress was very sweet and accommodating - even with their technology down. 10/10 would recommend!

Unassuming from the outside, this local treasure opens into a cozy restaurant and event space with exceptional food and drink. Between the crackling fireplace, plush lounge seating, warm wood accents, sleek bar, and navy banquettes, the atmosphere feels both inviting and refined. The bartenders and entire staff were warm, polished, and genuinely attentive, creating an experience centered around the guest. My martini was aggressively shaken and served in a short coupe, topped with a delicate layer of ice crystals; despite the chill, the vodka-to-vermouth ratio was perfectly balanced. It was garnished with stellar Castelvetrano olives, freshly opened and proudly presented as an elevated touch to the classic cocktail. As for the fare, it was hands down one of the best meals I've enjoyed in quite some time. The Wagyu coulotte was cooked to perfection, accompanied by expertly prepared oyster mushrooms and crisp shoestring tallow fries. I could go on and on about the experience, but I'll simply say I can't wait to return. The thoughtful details and genuine hospitality made for an outstanding night out.

    Tried Taco Barn for the first time and it absolutely lived up to the hype worth the drive from…read moreHartford to Newtown. Ambience & Service- Loved the barn-style decor and cozy vibe. Andrew was friendly, attentive, and accommodating especially with my vegetarian request and even making an off-menu espresso martini. Food: Ordered Salsa and guacamole were great, though some chips were overly salty. Tacos were the highlight cauliflower, mushroom, and fried avocado were perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. Others at the table loved the pork belly, jerk shrimp, and chicken options. My husband loved the coconut sauce on jerk chicken and mentioned he felt he was having something out of a Thai food menu. Glazed pork belly was cooked to the perfection and loved the flavor. Our friends in the table ordered chicken Chorizo and mentioned they will be visiting again to try more. I am looking forward to coming here during warmer weather and trying out more food. Dessert- Tres leches had a noticeable cinnamon flavor, not my favorite, but not a dealbreaker. Overall Great food, warm atmosphere, and excellent service. Easy to locate.

We got the summer squash special and the Baja fish taco. I'm sorry but it was a joke the pieces of protein that were in the tacos. It tasted great, but for those two tacos there was about a baby size worth of protein. Which is strange because the steak, chicken and everything had plenty of protein. All the food was heavenly and well seasoned. Great mix of sauces and greens. I don't know if it was just a bad day for those two tacos haha forgot to mention that the chicken empanada was slamming with the sauce and so was the beef. Ceviche was good, but it could have used a little more salt! All of these meals had no issues with portion size! Drinks were delicious as well, hooked us good and ended up drinking more than we wanted. Service was quick and friendly. Our server was also very knowledgeable and made fantastic recommendations. The inside of the place is big and perfect for a large party. We sat outside which is also another benefit of the location. Pay attention to the signs when you park. There's a lower lot that you cannot park in during certain times or your car will get towed !
