This is a really lovely place. Food is really tasty. Definitely go for the spicy salsa it slaps. The margaritas are fantastic especially their seasonal passion fruit one. Very nice atmosphere I’ll definitely be back!!

We’ve been here 5 times and loved it every time, so we decided to see if they’d cater my wife’s birthday party. We had about 20 people, and the spread that La Llorona proved was fantastic! They provided everything needed to make your own tacos, and the selections of sides and toppings was amazing! More than enough for everyone, with lots of leftovers. All gluten free, and everything was delicious. I can’t recommend them highly enough for catering, they went above and beyond!

The jalapeño margarita is perfection. Spicy and sweet! The sauces and salsas were full of flavor. I wanted to enjoy every bite of my whole burrito, but it was just too big to finish. Hard to find a more perfect meal from service to meal. Go now.

Great Mexican food right in Niantic. The food is very flavorful. Love that their menu has unique dishes that sets them apart from other New England Mexican restaurants. When in CT, If you want to get a bite that is more regional to Mexico go to La Llorana. The establishment is very warm and welcoming with all the bright colors. The regional Mexico State art displays really keep your attention going. So lovely that the servers all gather together to sing ‘Las Mananitas’ for their patrons birthdays. (good voices).

I’ve been here a handful of times and it never disappoints. Staff is always friendly and they have the best happy birthday song. Food is delicioussssss every time. And I am addicted to their mango margarita (it has a kick in the best way! But not for everyone).

La Llorona has great service and great food. Definitely recommend if you’re in the mood for Mexican food and Tequila. Margaritas are no joke as well. The Braised Short Rib was perfect and the fish tacos had a generous amount of fish. I will be back to enjoy this place again.

This is a really cute place to go for dinner. I love how the waitresses are dressed in those beautiful Mexican traditional tops. Their margaritas are to die for. The food was very delicious and flavorful. The chips were freshly made. I will definitely go back to this place! FYI, they do not take American Express credit cards.

We knew it was going to be an enjoyable meal the minute we walked in. The decor abs set up of the restaurant was gorgeous. We loved the fact we could sit outside unfortunately to our dismay our party couldn’t sit together due to the fact that they can’t move the outdoor table to accommodate parties over 4. Other than that everything was great. The staff was so friendly and were right there anytime we needed something. I had a Hawaiian Margherita which was well worth what I paid and the meal presentation was beautiful. All the different salsa varieties were amazing with the chips and on our food. They were very pricy but everyone is right now. All in all I can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend to everyone.

I love Mexican food but was really disappointed with this place. The chicken was dry and tough and the beans were runny.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the food. It looked amazing but it was just missing… something. The beans were runny and the rice wasn’t tasty at all. We were there for my friend’s birthday and she had a blast, which I was happy about. The drinks were good… the margaritas were super strong but that’s of the opinion of the drinker. The food was just not good to me, hence the 3 stars. Pics of the night shows how entertaining everything was though. 5-stars for the entertainment but I was truly looking forward to authentic Mexican food and was left disappointed.
