Great vegan and vegetarian options! The cauliflower tacos and enchiladas were worth the trip alone. The rice and beans were so so. Definitely not the star of the meal. Free chips and salsa at happy hour were tasty. Very cute spot and our server Josslyn was great as well. If you’re looking for great elevated Mexican while in Mystic stop here.

Fresh food !!! So delicious and flavorful! Margaritas were delicious we had El Camino Margarita. Our server was amazing . Great communication and hospitality the moment we walked in greeted with a smile . We even had the option to grab a drink at the bar while we waited.

We were traveling to cape cod and had to stop to charge our EV. While waiting for it to charge, we stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat (and to use the restroom). Pleasantly surprised! Restaurant is big and clean. Food was good, fresh and came out quickly. The service was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive. We had our little dog with us and they let us sit on the patio with him to eat.

Chile relleno, yuca fries are awesome. I would come back for these. The pork belly is also very delicious, but it was a small portion that I expected. They make margaritas stronger than usual.

Wow! Walking into the restaurant we saw a man walking out. I said “Hello, how are you?” And he replied “Great now. The food in there is phenomenal!”

From the looks of the tall street sign, you wouldn’t know that this restaurant has a top-quality bartender and great Mexican food. (Sorry, but the sign is not unique.) However, I asked for a simple lime daiquiri (not frozen, the classic style) and it was made with fresh-squeezed lime and just great ingredients. The food there is made with quality ingredients, like the chicken mole enchiladas. Now, that’s how mole should be made!

Our family of 4 were traveling through the area and decided to try this place. Not alot of choices on the menu. We ordered the chicken enchiladas, nachos, chicken tacos and pork fried belly (delicious!!!) Then we ordered 1 of each dessert and it was so yummy. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and really good fun. Just wish there were a little bit more options.

Food was good — especially the street corn, however, it’s very expensive for the amount you get. The quesadilla was decent. I would come here again, however, as you’d expect from Mystic, it’s rather expensive. The chips and salsa were also good, although the salsa was a bit watery this time. I wasn’t a fan of the queso but my coworkers all loved it.

got a complimentary appetizer of cucumber slices w/tajin seasoning (amazing!). also got the carnitas tacos which were so good i ate them before i could get a picture (sorry!) haha. you get the tortilla shells, meat & melted cheese, pico, lime crema, and salsa served to you all separately—you construct your own taco which i thought was kinda unique and cool. everything tasted great!

Finally! Found the best place to get Mexican food. So far what we’ve had was alright but everything from here was excellent. The ambiance inside is nice too.
