    Steak burrito
    David C.

    You will NOT be disappointed! Finally got around to trying this place and very happy that we did! I ordered a steak taco and steak burrito..my son an order of Birria tacos and a steak burrito. We did take out..order was ready ahead of time and nice and hot! Started with my steak taco and was a bit sad. It was just meh (epic foreshadowing...I think that taco just didn't travel).. Well, my son had me try the Birra taco and HOLY COW..by itself it was amazing but then they go ahead and give you a bowl of au jus to dip it in!! So..now it's time for the steak burrito and I'll tell you I was sure it was going to be meh (like the taco) but I couldn't have been more wrong . It was packed full..FULL..of steak (check out the picture). 100% will be back!!!

    Delicious food, beverages and sweet staff! Very cute and cozy interior/decorations. We ordered the enchiladas with verde sauce & Birria tacos. Yum!

    chicken taco combo, one extra chicken taco, guacamole, and an horchata

    the food here is amazing, they probably have some of the best tacos in CT if i'm being honest, always fresh and always tasty. The portions here are also pretty decent, i definitely recommend getting the tacos combo, comes with 2 tacos of your choice plus rice and beans for about $12, best deal they have and it'll fill you up. Also recommend getting their chips and pico or guac or salsa, they're pretty much all good, and don't forget the horchata, theirs is really sweet but flavor is on point.

    Great vegan and vegetarian options. I especially love the vegan veggie burrito. Nice servers. Casual restaurant. Usually pretty quiet

    Good Mexican food. Your typical fare of tacos and accompaniments. Nothing really stands out but good nonetheless. Take your pick.

They didn't have vegetarian options listed so I had to ask a lot of questions. The bean dip that arrived shortly after we sat down had pork fat and our server did know this when we asked so that was good. I'd like restaurants in CT to make an effort to show vegetarian on their menu. The enchiladas didn't even have a vegetarian option but they came back and gave me one. Anyway, green sauce was good, the entrees were fine but it was quite pricey for Mexican food.

Tacos are on fresh corn tortillas with the highlight being the generous protein portions that do not get lost under tons of lettuce sour creme & or cheese. In fact my pork carnitas taco, with onions & cilantro, was elevated by being stuffed with tender roasted pork loin instead of fried pork chunks. My partner's shrimp tacos were excellent as well. Daughter inhaled her steak burrito. The tame/bland red & green side sauces could be improved. As some reviewers noted, food is on the pricey side. Ala carte regular sized tacos are $5.00 each though. Can't comment on the service as we had take out but they packaged everything competently but no salsa & chips ????

The tortillas are made from fresh masa pressed to order, which is amazing by itself, but on top of that, every taco I've had is nothing short of delightful. Every time I visit, my order has been increasing by one taco because I can't get enough. They are so kind and friendly, they remember my order and preferred toppings (or lackthereof, met with zero judgement!!), and the atmosphere is super comfortable. It is semi-loud, which I personally have no problem with, but I have seen stuffy older people come in and be turned off (bye, more tacos for me!). When I die, please bury me in a mound of Tacos Los Gordos carnitas!!!! TLG, you will see me weekly as long as I live in New Haven.

Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

It was close to 11 PM on a Wednesday, and after trying multiple spots that claimed their kitchens were open until midnight (Google lied ), VivaZ came through. We were greeted right away and seated quickly. Our server was patient, knowledgeable, and very considerate of food preferences at the table -- huge plus there, especially that late at night. Food I ordered the chicken empanadas -- they were big, filled with chicken and cheese, tasty but a little too oily for my preference. I'd love a drier, crispier shell, but I'd still try them again. My brother ordered the shrimp nachos and those were excellent -- loaded, flavorful, and honestly better than the empanadas in my opinion. My cousin got the same nachos and loved them too. A friend ordered the short rib empanadillas and didn't enjoy them. He sent them back and swapped for chicken, which he liked much more. Appreciate that the staff had no issue making the change. Drinks I had an Ilegal Mezcal shot -- my go-to when I'm at a Mexican spot -- and it hit like it always does. My brother's strawberry margarita was also a winner. Overall Friendly service, good food, great energy even late on a weekday. The fact that they were open and accommodating when nothing else was is major. Would we return? Absolutely. Rating: 4.5/5
