When it comes to taco bowls, Trump Grill ain't got nothing on La Carreta…read more While I'm quite aware that taco bowls aren't authentic Mexican food, they're nevertheless delicious. Thus, when I saw that La Carreta offers them, I decided to stop by and try one. The taco bowls that La Carreta serves are generously filled with the meat of your choice, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and guac, and are finished off with drizzles of hot sauce and sour cream and a sprinkling of queso. They're served in a pre-fab fried shell, the bottom of which soaks up their flavors, and the edges of which can be broken off to add some crunchy, carby goodness. While the overall effect is tasty and filling, the ingredients are of the quality that you might expect at a food cart (not exactly premium), hence the imperfect but solid rating. As you also might expect at a food cart, service is quite efficient, down to the payment system (place bills in appropriate cups and take change). Thus, if you're in need of a quick lunch, La Carreta is a great choice.

I remember having a quesadilla at one of the food carts on Cedar St before that was quite good, but there's not much kick or seasoning within the burrito. No taste of onion or cilantro or spicy sauce. I was simply hoping for more since I normally avoid the Mexican food carts in town because the ones by Long Wharf are SO good. Would certainly recommend other carts over this one and going to Long Wharf if you want some phenomenal tacos (more and better food for cheaper).

If you've never had a Cuban this is a great place to fall in love ( with the sandwich). It's on the waterfront in New Haven in a sea of Mexican food trucks.

A Family Business That Touches Your Heart (and Taste Buds!)…read more I first discovered The Taste Garden at Fairgate Farm's harvest festival last week, where I was also vending. The aroma of their tacos wafting through the air was absolutely irresistible, and I simply had to try them. One bite, and I was hooked. Now, I live in an area where Mexican food is everywhere - but what this family creates is something truly special. Their flavors don't just compete; they soar above the rest. When I chatted with them, I learned that the brother had previously worked in a Japanese restaurant, and now he's running this beautiful venture with his mom and sister. You can taste the care, the tradition, and the love they pour into every dish. I was so impressed that when I found out they'd be at another farmers market, I made sure to track them down. I ended up buying enough to feed my entire family for dinner that night - and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Beyond the incredible food, what really sets The Taste Garden apart is the warmth of the people behind it. Their service, their genuine kindness, and their passion shine through in everything they do. I can't wait to visit their cafe next. If their brick-and-mortar location is anything like their farmers market presence, it's going to be an absolute treasure. Do yourself a favor - seek them out. You won't regret it.

I'm really love Birria Tacos that are smothered in the Birria Consomé and cook on the grill to give it that crunchy texture and melted cheese action, to bring it all together. This Birria Taco was not that but that meat was very flavorful and you tell someone put their whole foot into the meat while they were cooking it. The toppings brought it all together and I definitely have to go to their establishment to try other foods. The customer service was great and they were very organized, friendly, and helpful.

La Chalupa Food Truck is located off the highway in New Haven, Connecticut on Long Wharf Drive…read more This location is also called Food Truck Paradise at Long Wharf because of the multiple food trucks located on Long Wharf Street. It is also across from a park and you can enjoy the view of the water. The food truck park is a of collection of food trucks serving Latin America, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban foods. I ordered three Tacos from La Chalupa which were Chicken, Chorizo, and Meat tacos. The tacos are two dollars each which you can't beat. The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and the meat was tender. I enjoyed my tacos while watching the water view. The service was quick and the customer service was great. I will definitely be back again as I have been here many times before.
