"Unassuming little place in Newington. You might miss it driving by on Willard Ave. Nicolas has a pretty varied menu between pizza and Mexican fare. Had Crunchy Tacos and Empanadas. First the good news, the crunchy tacos were fantastic!! Had chicken, beef, chorizo and steak. All four were perfect. If you're looking for good tacos this place is a great choice. Unfortunately the empanadas were seriously underseasoned and just bland with a fried dough that tasted like bad Chinese chicken tender dough. Taco's are easily 5 stars (but a big loss for empanadas)."

Pretty good tacos. It looks more like I have an appointment. Appropriate prices. Do you have the pulled pig and steak tacos?

I just recently moved from Florida to Connecticut and I believed after a Mexican tortta, since the last time I was in Florida Clean, little mother pop joint, friendly staff and the food was not bad at all I recommend any person who wants real authentic Mexican food. I am a returning customer thank you!!!!

Only a small hole in the wall restaurant attached to a convenience store. Drove over years and didn't think about it. Don't let the look fool you, they have some of the best tacos in the area. Very recommend their burritos (they are huge), taco salad and crispy tacos. Place is really small so I don't eat in, but Takeout was always great View menu

Wow! I can’t believe I drove past this place so many times without stopping. Today, I finally tried their tacos, and they were fantastic! The ingredients are incredibly fresh. I sampled all the meats: chicken, steak, and ground beef. I couldn’t pick a favorite because they were all delicious—there were no disappointments! I’ll definitely be back for dinner tonight.

The burritos are usually good, but everything else is hit or miss, including an order of wings I got tonight, made with old borderline rotten chicken and were unusable as a result...and the customer service is terrible, as others have mentioned. The only person who is beautiful is the middle age, probably the father who owns the place, but the children who work the register are completely miserable and do no trouble hiding it.

Regardless, their tacos and tostadas are 5 stars. 3 tacos, homemade crispy shells (a little over cooked) overstuffed with ground beef and some fixins, red and green hot sauce, very good. My advice to the owners, when a customer walks in and sits down, acknowledge them, don't just sit at the cash register expecting them to know you're not going to walk the 5 feet to their table. Also, when you serve, serv with silver or plastic ware. Just be conscious of your consumers. View menu

Ramshackle hole in the wall adjoining a run down liquor shop. Looks like family run. The food was ok but nothing to really write home about. I've had authentic Mexican food and it was more flavorful than this. I will say there is a nice heat level to the sandwiches and the green sauce that comes with the burrito is quite nice (I think it was a tomatolli cilantro sauce). When you go in don't sit down and wait for table service just go up to the counter and order it you could be waiting awhile.

My experience here was not the greatest and it is sad because the food was so good. (One of the best tacos ive had) The customer service in the other hand was HORRIBLE. When you first walk in nobody greets you, they dont ask if you need anything, sit etc. The girl at the front desk is NOT a people person and honestly that could hurt a business immensely. I would never dine in again because it is soooo cold and you can tell they dont care about their customers. Hopefully they can change that and im sure their business will thrive.
