Discover Restaurants offering the best Southwestern food in Brookfield, Connecticut, United States. Brookfield is an affluent town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States, situated within the southern foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The population was 16,487 at the 2010 census. The town is located 43 miles (69 km) northeast of New York City, making it part of the New York metropolitan area. Brookfield was first settled in 1710 by John Muirwood, as well as other colonial founders including Hawley, Peck and Merwin. They bartered for the land from the Wyantenuck Nation and the Pootatuck nation who were ruled under the Sachem Waramaug and Pocono. The purchase of the southern portion of town involved the current municipal center where sachem Pocono then had his village and lived in an enormous palisade along the Still River. Eventually, when the town was settled, it was first established as the Parish of Newbury, which incorporated parts of neighboring Newtown and Danbury. The town of Brookfield was established in 1788. It was named after the first minister of the parish's Congregational church, Reverend Thomas Brooks.

Highly impressed with this restaurant for their authentic food, excellent service, reasonable prices and traditional Mexican ambiance. Their Guacamole made at your table is as fresh and authentic as you can get, staff is very friendly and attentive, they read your mind and serve what you want before you ask. We loved their Chicken Fajitas and Veggie Enchiladas. Iâll definitely recommend this place.

We had a great dinner here with our young family. Weekdays in the winter they aren't very busy, so you'll get lots of attention from staff. All our dishes were really good and the menu is really extensive with some generic "authentic" Mexican dishes, but there are some more unique and intriguing dishes as well. Great atmosphere. We're really excited to go back.

The service at Salsa Fresca was good; friendly employees. The food is good â not out of this world. Itâs similar to Chipotle, but with smaller portions for the same price. The fountain drinks are by Boylan which is headquartered in NYC and offers flavors like Cream Soda and Birch Beer which is a nice change. The interior is industrial with metal table tops. Like Chipotle, you can make your own burrito or choose one of the specialties. We ordered the ground beef burrito and the buffalo ranch burrito which came with chips and salsa. Would we go back? Ehh. Maybe, but I think you get a better value at Chipotle.

I usually visit this chiliâs when Iâm in town on business just because itâs next to the hotel. Chiliâs new menu is absolutely horrible in my opinion. Portions are small and taste is just blah. The service at this location was pretty bad too. My waiter was fairly friendly but seemed preoccupied and wasnât very attentive to his work. Overall I donât recommend this restaurant unless you have no other options
