    This restaurant is one of my happy places. Not good for takeout, but great for dine-in. The drinks are tasty, but be careful as they are strong. Definitely not skimping on the alcohol/tequila in their pours. I usually go with the taco platter, which comes with four different tacos, of which the pork is the best (pork has an impressive smokey flavor). Would call this casual, but it's New Canaan so it's still a bit upscale feeling, but overall a pretty straightforward, no frills, tasty Mexican restaurant.

    Great evening out. We sat inside and we're seated in a booth with a 7:30 reservation. We were served chips and 2 kinds of salsas- the salsa verde was excellent. Margarita was so tasty. We got an appetizer - cheese nachos. I believe there were refried beans underneath the cheese- I've never had such a crispy nacho with such an amazingly generous amount of cheese on each chip. Seriously the cheese to chip ratio was pretty intense and amazingly delicious. So then we had our drinks- Dos Equis and a signature margarita with salt. Very good. Generous amount of tequila - not too tart and not overly sweet. The beef enchiladas and chicken enchiladas were amazing. My beef chimichanga was so tasty. Pork in the enchilada was smoked with love- we weren't crazy about the sauce. It wasn't the salsa verde. All in all- it was a solid experience for want it was. Thanks

    My friend's favorite bar/Mexican hang out spot! I'm not sure if they have outdoor dining when we went by there weren't any tables or chairs outside. We got our order to go. I got the steak fajitas and they were really good! Meat not over cooked. Generous portions! The margarita we had while waiting for the food was really good too!!

    Margaritas did their job! Whew

    My friends wanted to try this spot out so we came for dinner last night. Our waiter was kind, attentive in making sure we were good with everything, and cool. They don't have shrimp tacos (only like this shrimp platter I think it was?) but the waiter hooked it up for me in and had them make me shrimp tacos! Food was delicious and the margaritas were very strong (well-worth it imo). Atmosphere was nice and quiet because we did go at night, but I liked it. The only reason why I didn't take a picture of our food was because we were sooo hungry lol.

    The place looks beautiful inside, lots of decoration, servers are super friendly and welcoming, we got sitted right away. I wish they could have drink menu, but server gave us some recommendations about drinks. Drinks are super strong, my husband loved it. Food was ok, would come back for a drinks and some nachos

The meals were huge and 5 of us took part of our meals home! 6 meals with 2 margaritas and 4 non alcoholic beverages for ~$125. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic! My verse enchilada was so flavorful and despite the little spice I could taste every item in the meal! We had a variety of meals from my shrimp enchiladas to chicken mole enchiladas, a chicken dish, a vegetarian dish and a salmon dish- all delicious! My granddaughter the toddler enjoyed everything immensely!! The restaurant has many tables and a large size bar. They are great for families and small to large parties like ours which was 6 people and a toddler! I plan to return again when visiting with our family from Norwalk!

The chips and salsa were very fresh with nice heat. To eat we had steak Quesadillas and the shrimp burrito. These meals were about $14 a piece and were PHENOMENAL. We couldn't believe how good and filling the meal was. I also had a mango margarita with sugar rum which was delicious. We finished with churros for dessert. This will definitely be our regular Mexican spot, can't wait to come back.

    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.
