    Great no-frills lunch spot for fresh tacos, burritos, tortas, and bowls. Vegetarian options too. Easy off the highway in Westbrook, close to the outlets. Felt sorry for everyone going into the Subway next door for lunch - their loss!

    This place is amazing. Best authentic Mexican food on the shoreline. Enchiladas al pastor and the tres leches cake are my go to items.

    Delicious Mexican food served with a smile. The staff is always so nice, and I haven't eaten anything there that I didn't absolutely love!

    Awesome food truck feel, but with a reliable storefront! I ordered takeout about a dozen times, and the food is consistently delicious!

    It's a small spot with a few seats so it's more of a grab a go or delivery option but I will absolutely be back.

    Our first time at the Essex location of Sayulita, we were not disappointed! Just as good as the…read moreoriginal, with basically the same menu. We did have a special buffalo chicken taco, which was fabulous!! It was our first time at Sayulita since giving up alcohol, and I was definitely missing their margaritas. I had a grapefruit Mexican soda, but next time I'll ask if they can make me a yummy mocktail. The restaurant is about double the size of the Glastonbury location, so check it out if you want the best tacos without the long wait!!

Man were WE pleasantly surprised!! Outside it doesn't have a standout look. Just a darkly painted house with a decent size parking lot. But once you step inside it actually catches you off guard a little! Modern decor, beautifully tiled floors, bright and fresh! We were seated quickly and everything on the menu said "order me!" I got an unsweetened tea that was brewed just right and fresh. I hate skunky tea! We ordered the birria quesadilla to share, my coworker wasn't familiar. One bite and he was HOOKED. The meat was soo flavorful and tender and the SAUCE! Rich, bursting with flavor. I ordered several of the tacos: the scallop, seared tuna, pork carnitas and the Baja fish. Again, flavortown! Fresh, citrusy, creamy, cooked just right and a hint of heat on all of them. My coworker got the beef bbq burrito. Man that thing was stuffed with a crispy shell. Full of meat, rice and beans. He got the red chile sauce on the side but after the birria he just used that b/c he couldn't get enough of it! I thought this place was phenomenal and I've been telling everybody to go!

    Bland food, rice in my veggie burrito was hard and veggies were not even cooked. Minuscule amount…read moreof guac/sour cream. Really no seasoning at all and burrito was basically fully of hard crunchy rice with no flavor. Too bad I wanted to like the place and the interior and service was good but for $20 burrito filled with almost nothing but old crunchy flavorless rice I can't reccomend. Wish the owners would read the reviews because there is potential here but not if the food is bland, overpriced and insulting teaspoon on guac and sour cream to go with my massive flour tortilla filled with nothing but rice. Shoreline could really use a decent Mexican place and the drink menu is good but this missed the mark big time. Wish I could rate 2.5 stars but due to nice bartender and clean inside and drink menu I decided to rate up to a 3. Edit to add: I posted this review as we were leaving- owner came out to confront me about it. The review above is unchanged from what I originally posted. Was very a la Amy's Baking Company. Take that for what it's worth- not all are interested in feedback.

    We came here on a Thursday night with a group and had a reservation. I think they've figured things…read moreout a little more since opening.. service was timely, friendly, and attentive. My margarita was good (cantina marg), but my friends was all simple syrup (spicy marg) and had a huge half a lime in it which seemed to be a filler... $16 is a tough price when half the drink volume is because of a like rind. Food was decent.. we had queso, quesadilla, chimichanga, burrito, and fries. No serious complaints.. we liked the queso and chips were fresh!

My sister and her friend visited Pica Chica Tacos recently and we happened to be in the area. The young staff was very friendly and helpful. We all decided to order Taco Entrées, which came with two tacos, rice, and beans. We were able to choose from a list and mix or match our tacos. I loved that they offered vegetarian options, so I tried the Cauliflower Taco and the Veggie Taco. My husband and mom tried the Beef Taco, Chicken Taco, and Pork al Pastor. We also ordered Juan-tons, a fun food fusion--roasted corn, poblano peppers, onions, and cheddar all wrapped in a wonton pocket and fried. So delicious! There was a sauce bar with over 30 different sauces (I tried to count them, but lost track). Our meals were packed in to-go containers, but they still had great presentation, making them Instagram-worthy. The bright colors from the red cabbage and pineapple not only looked good but also brought the flavors together. The tacos were generously stuffed. My favorite was the Cauliflower Taco--the cauliflower was perfectly fried and not greasy. I'll definitely be ordering it again. Overall, check out Pica Chica Tacos! While we went for tacos, they offer so much more to try, including burritos, chimichangas, burrito bowls, and desserts.
