Love love love. So satisfying and generous portions. We had the carne asada and got two orders of beef empanadas. We split it all and we have two empeñadas left. Definitely revisiting the menu. The sauce was not hot - so ask for hot if you want it. I'm sure they have toned it down for the area. A new fav tho for hardy authentic Mexican restaurant food. read more

Hidden treasure! We stopped here randomly when rushing around between kids' activities, and we will DEFINITELY be back. The Mexican food is fresh, delicious, and authentic. Their hot sauces are SO tasty too. While it is definitely a bit of a hole in the wall, it's clean and inviting. The service is excellent too, and everyone was so nice and accommodating. I highly recommend it!! read more

There are not enough stars for Pembroke Deli! I love everything here from breakfast sandwiches, to salads, to arroz con pollo. This is a small business that truly is invested in the care and feeding of others. You really really cannot go wrong with anything that graces your fork from this place!! read more

Oh my goodness, this place makes me happy. I was seriously jonesing for something resembling authentic Mexican after months and months in quarantine, and stumbled across this humble little place by pure chance. Pembroke Deli is a complete godsend. The food is a wee bit gringo-ized, but still quite enjoyable -- the best I've found for quite some distance from our home in Sherman, actually, including a few better publicized places in central Danbury. Enchiladas come with red or green sauce, neither of which has much, if any, heat. (No matter. We doctor it up ourselves.) Tacos are made with standard issue off-the-shelf tortillas, but generously stuffed with flavorful proteins of your choice and garnished with fresh lime and crisp radish. Meats are a served in a larger cut than my personal ideal, which can toughen and dry out when cooked, despite some fat- and gristle-heavy bits. But no matter: flavors approach heavenly for a family that deeply appreciates, but doesn't prepare, this cuisine at home regularly. The arroz in arroz con pollo is wonderful, as good as any I've had, $$$$ restaurants inclusive. We've made a few large orders from here in recent months and been delighted each time. Please keep it up, Pembroke Deli. read more

Friendly and clean, I've only gotten egg seamdwishes here and they are amazing! So so good. Will try their Mexican menu soon.

This is a little gem, if you like Mexican food. It's authentic, FRESH and delicious! The carnitas tacos are generous and the presentation is BEAUTIFUL! I've been here twice and both times they were top notch. I appreciate the care that goes into the little details like you'll see in the garnish of this humble taco. Clearly, this chef takes pride in his work because you not only taste it, you see it! We also had the avocado salad, tortilla soup, and various burritos. (Sorry no photos) The soup was piping hot with loads of fresh fixings to add on top. Everything we've had here has been fresh and delicious. The deli is clean, small, one or two tables, friendly and perfect for takeout. If you find yourself in the Danbury area, stop by Pembroke Deli for Mexican food... you'll be glad you did! read more

I LOVE Mexican food. I will say that this is the best Mexican food in the area. I will put this against any local restaurant and it will always come out on top. The service is friendly, the prices are great, and the food is beyond amazing. Everything is tasty and fresh. I have not had a bad meal yet and don't think it is even possible. From the cheesy quesadillas to the tacos, I enjoy every bite. I also highly suggest the shrimp and crab empanada. Stop wasting your money going to a restaurant and try this ASAP! read more

I found it by accident when i pulled into a small group of stores so i could check Yelp for nearby restaurants. It looked clean, bright and the woman at the counter looked friendly so I gave it a shot. Excellent!!! One of those great little places that are reasonably priced, very good quality food. And super nice owners. Very sweet. read more

So far so good, easy going people very friendly and food is pretty good. I'll be back to try more goodies and give my opinion that nobody asked for. read more

Very clean. Polite and very nice owners. I had an egg sandwich, the bread was awesome. I will be back!!

By far the BEST Homemade Mexican Food in Danbury if not the State. Amazing service with a smile. They are always happy to see us and care about their customers. At FCI Danbury we probably place 10 orders a day there and they love taking care of us. read more

I've gotten the taco salad from here a few times. Would definitely recommend trying it! Delivery was great, prompt and accurate.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. The food was fresh and fantastic, the service was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back, highly recommended it. read more

Amazing empanadas and everything else I've tried has been good or great. Very helpful and friendly staff too.

Very friendly people, good food. I think it should be called "Veracruz" instead of Pembroke, but not a big deal. :) I usually order the steak tacos or take the chicken soup home and spice it up... but I hear good things about the chile rellenos. Next will try the avocado chicken salad. Update: avocado salad, add chicken. It's great. Some kinda ginger lime dressing. Ok, new name suggestion: Veracruz Tacos and Salad. :) read more

Great deli , I love the meat dishes here and wraps also some unique drink you don't usually find other places , counter people are very nice

Great place! Hidden little gem. This is not your greasy Mexican food joint, food is fresh and flavorful including the guacamole/avocado. Never had anything we did not like. Prices are very good for what you get and the owners and staff are very friendly. The avocado salad is really good and the tostada salad is huge. Can't go wrong with the tacos. Even their breakfast sandwiches are very good. My family and I highly recommend this place ! read more

My husband and I tried Pembroke deli yesterday because I heard word of mouth they had great Mexican food and my friend knows I love Mexican! The food is amazing! My husband had the Chicken chimichanga and a steak burrito. I had chicken enchilada and rice and beans. It was absolutely delicious. The ingredients are fresh. Guacamole is perfectly seasoned and is extremely fresh. I appreciate a spicy tomatillo hot sauce and theirs was homemade. My husband and I went back today for lunch because it was so good! So happy this place is here! read more
