    God I love this place. I want to gatekeep it SO badly so it's never too busy for me to dine in, but…read moreI also want them to make a million dollars and stay open forever, so here we are. The tortillas are made from fresh masa pressed to order, which is amazing by itself, but on top of that, every taco I've had is nothing short of delightful. Every time I visit, my order has been increasing by one taco because I can't get enough. They are so kind and friendly, they remember my order and preferred toppings (or lackthereof, met with zero judgement!!), and the atmosphere is super comfortable. It is semi-loud, which I personally have no problem with, but I have seen stuffy older people come in and be turned off (bye, more tacos for me!). When I die, please bury me in a mound of Tacos Los Gordos carnitas!!!! TLG, you will see me weekly as long as I live in New Haven.

    I have never seen three people work harder than in this kitchen on Cinco de Mayo. Thankfully, I put…read morein my order about 10 minutes after they reopened at 5 PM. Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

    These street tacos from A Mano were good. We have here one chicken and two beef. I preferred the…read morechicken over the beef; the chicken had much more flavor and the toppings complimented the meat. The beefs were good too, but the chicken was top notch! The chicken taquitos were really good too, there was so much topping it was like having a salad with my taquitos! During lunch, it was not that busy. The place was very cutely theme, a modern take on mexican traditional decoration.

    I recently started a deep dive of highly rated taco places in Willimantic, and A Mano Taco Shop is…read moreone of those places. A Mano has a different POV than the other Willimantic places I've tried so far. While the other taquerias I've tried are more or less traditional (Pastor, Bistec, etc. with cilantro, onions and a few other classic toppings), A Mano has a more modern and creative take on tacos. In terms of the Willimantic spots, A Mano is the most modern in terms of art and the space, which includes outside tables on a wood deck out front, and at least one small inside table. I'm not sure if they had additional seating in a different room or upstairs, but that's possible given the building design. I suspect they have a robust takeout business as well. I ordered a Pastor Taco, and a Sweet Potato Black Bean Taco. The corn tortillas were fresh made and very good. The tacos arrived with the small round tortillas mostly flat and side by side in a takeout container, and the toppings artfully displayed on top. The toppings were slightly different for each taco. The pastor taco had marinated pork, pineapple chunks, micro greens, and avocado based salsa. I ordered a Pastor taco at each Willimantic place. A Mano was the only one so far to feature pineapple chunks, which I really like for Pastor tacos. This sweetness was important for balancing the saltiness from the pastor. Without that sweetness, the flavors would have been out of balance. The pastor was tender. The avocado salsa was good. I like the use of microgreens for the color, shape and fresh flavor it brings. A definite way to distinguish your taco. I ordered the sweet potato black bean taco because I've never seen it on a menu and I was intrigued. I was expecting the sweet potatoes and black beans to be in pieces, but the presentation was actually puréed or at least stewed to a smooth texture. This taco was topped with the same micro greens and avocado salsa, but it had pickled red onions. This taco was well executed and looked great, but if I had known it was going to be puréed, I probably would have gone a different direction just based on personal preference. I like that A Mano has different toppings for different tacos. In addition to the above toppings, I noticed corn, cilantro, slaw, mango and more as different toppings on certain tacos. A Mano's menu features other cool things like Birria Ramen, Street Corn, loaded fries, churros, flan. It's definitely the type of menu you'd like to explore. Service was very friendly. Both service and the atmosphere are a factor in my 4.5 Star rating, which rounds up to 5 Stars. If I was just rating the tacos, the score would be 4.25 Stars.

We got there…read moreabout 20 minutes before closing and they were still so nice and patient while we decided what to order. I told the it was our first time there and the lady taking my order answered some questions I had with a smile. I ordered 1 cow tongue taco, 1 al pastor taco, a kids beef burrito and a steak burrito. The kids burrito is a great deal. You get a choice of a burrito or quesadilla and it comes with fries for 9 bucks. The lady was so humble she didn't even realize they had great reviews online until I showed her. Everything was good with my favorite being the burrito and the cow tongue and my least favorite being the al pastor (not that it wasn't good, it was just ok). The food was ready quickly and they even gave us 2 of their limeades on the house! Delicious btw I highly recommend their homemade limeade. It's so refreshing and sweet and the perfect compliment to the fat is and burritos. The food smelled so good even in the container lol. I'm def going to be a regular here.

We started with frozen margaritas which were cold, refreshing, and a solid way to kick things off. The ground beef nachos came loaded with queso and guac, and the extra chips on the side made it easy to share. The birria tacos with the dipping sauce were one of the highlights, juicy and full of flavor. The smash burger taco was a fun twist and worked surprisingly well. We also tried a few different tacos including a shrimp steak taco with crispy onions and chimichurri crema, and a blackened shrimp taco with mango pico which added a nice contrast. The taco of the month, a blackened sirloin steak taco with horseradish crema and corn pico de gallo, brought something a little different to the table. We finished with a churro funnel cake topped with cinnamon sauce which was warm and a great dessert to share. Overall, a solid spot for tacos with a lot of variety and creative options. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

    I wanted some Birria Tacos for lunch so I searched on Yelp to find a place that was near my job. I…read morefound Rico Mac Taco and decided to check them out. I ordered Birria Tacos and a Sope with Steak. It took about fifteen minutes to prepare and the Sope with the Steak was delicious. It was my first time ever trying one and the Steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Birria Tacos were okay. The meat was packed with flavor but the Birria Taco was on the dry side. The Consomé was lacking flavor and I didn't fill the love cooked in the Consomé. The customer service was great and the staff were very friendly.

    Ok, here we go! I was in the mood for Tacos-so I stopped by for lunch.(My budget for lunch is…read morenormally UNDER $15.00) I ordered three Tacos for $11.00 and I wanted some rice and beans, a side was $4.75 (the tacos come with radishes & cilantro-no worries.) My bill came out to $16.91 including tax. The steak tacos had plenty of meat-but the seasonings were lackluster at best but the fresh lime helped out to give it some taste/flavor. The corn tortillas were doubled up as per usual, heated on the grill and filled with steak & cilantro and they didn't break (surprisingly)! I was underwhelmed- the tacos were just tacos, nothing special, no flavor profile was evident: except the cilantro & lime. The steak (really beef meat) was chewy; very chewy... so sad & disappointing. The rice and beans is what really threw me off (please look at the pic). It had what looked like yellow rice stir fry vibes with frozen peas and carrots=sided with refried beans!!? There was literally a miniscule amout of taste, flavor and eye appeal. The rice seemed tasteless and I tried to mix the refried beans with the rice and made it worse! In my 35t years of Cheffing-it-up, I've NEVER seen Spanish, Mexican,Puerto Rican or ANY Latino rice and beans look and taste like that! ( I WANTED A KNIFE TO SCRAP MY TONGUE!!!) I do understand that different cultures prepare their rice & beans differently, but this was the first and last time I see and taste something like this and call it rice and beans! Oh my... I rate the rice and beans [negative]-2.25 out of 5 stars and the tacos 1.75 stars out of 5 stars. This was an interesting experience to say the least. Thanks Chef Clinton
