Great menu options available from appetizers to entrees. Very reasonably priced. Margarita was strong and wonderful! The homemade beef empanada was so flavorful and crispy crunchy. Packed full of deliciously seasoned meat. The birra taco was so good and the sweet pork taco was divine! Festive yet cool and relaxed atmosphere. Staff was jovial, attentive and super. The only bummer was that there was no ball for the fossball table in the middle of the dining room. Bar and tables and multiple tvs to catch your favorite sport if that's your thing. The entire establishment was clean, inclluding the restrooms. On street parking. We loved it! We highly recommend and will be returning.

Rincon Taqueria

Rincon Taqueria in Norwalk, CT is one of those places you almost don't want to talk about because…read moreit feels like a secret. The food, vibe, and service are all on point. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and really informative. They're happy to walk you through the menu and make recommendations based on what you like. It's also surprisingly vegetarian- and vegan-friendly, they offer vegan meats so you can swap them into a lot of the classic dishes, which is rare for a taqueria. The food is outstanding. Even the free chips and salsa they start you with are memorable: the chips are fresh and super crunchy, and the salsa has real depth of flavor, not just heat. The entrées are some of the best value around, the burritos are massive (one could easily feed two or three people), and for takeout, the quesadillas literally come in a pizza box, which tells you everything you need to know about portion size. Their appetizers, queso, and house-made hot sauce are all excellent and full of flavor, not just spice. Most times I've been, the service has been fast, even when they're busy. The interior is clean, colorful, and decorated with authentic touches, so it feels fun and relaxed whether you're dining in or just grabbing takeout. If you're searching for great Mexican food in Norwalk, big portions, vegetarian/vegan options, and friendly service, Rincon Taqueria is easily one of the best spots around. Highly recommend.

They have tables and chairs if you prefer to eat there. The shop sells Mexican food and other related grocery items. When I entered, I was greeted warmly and ordered the Birria, Al Pastor, and Chorizo tacos. It took about fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. When I opened it, I was pleased to see the tacos were generously filled with meat and toppings. As I took my first bites of the Al Pastor and Chorizo tacos, I noticed the meat was a bit overcooked, almost burnt. Despite that, the tacos still had a lot of flavor, though the overcooking affected the texture. The Birria taco was decent but a little dry. The customer service was very friendly and attentive, which I truly appreciated. I might give their tacos another try in the future. For now, I'll rate my experience as 3 stars.

Just crazy to me when you're a Mexican restaurant and you don't have good chips and on top of that you're stingy with them! We ordered the Mexican mozzarella sticks which were flavorless and dried out. I ordered the taco salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was very dry. They gave about a teaspoon size of sour cream and guacamole, so I had to order more which I was charged for. The margarita wasn't good at all. Sad to say we won't be back.

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.

The drinks were delicious, def low shelf tequila but it was happy hour so beggars can't be choosers. Now the food, the avocado on the tostado tasted old or store bought. The Parmesan cheese on top was an interesting choice, a Mexican cheese would be better. I really enjoyed the carnitas taco but I did get a fatty piece (which I love) and know that others don't. The birria fries were okay. The melty cheese was the best part but the birria and consome tasted like Trader Joe's. There was no depth in its flavor and needed seasoning. Overall, the vibe seemed to mirror Bar Taco, just more island-y resembling Tulun. The service was great, everyone was friendly and attentive. This just isn't a place I would think about going back to again, unless it was locally convenient to grab drinks before going somewhere else for food.

When we asked about it, the waiter added maybe a shot's worth more--still nowhere near acceptable for a $16 cocktail. At that price point, the drink should at least cover the ice. Food presentation was also odd. One person ordered lettuce wraps and received what looked like half a head of lettuce--almost comedic, especially since it came after she'd already started eating. On top of that, we were charged for extra chips that are typically complimentary, which didn't sit well given everything else. Overall, this visit missed the mark, especially for a group outing.
