Top 5 Mexican food in Hartford, Connecticut, United States
Discover Restaurants offering the best Mexican food in Hartford, Connecticut, United States. From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633, Hartford has become not only the state capital but also the insurance capital of the world, with a slew of historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public gardens. It was here that the lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years. Twain's home and those of fellow literary figures Harriet Beecher Stowe and Noah Webster are open to the public. The Wadsworth Atheneum, the oldest public art museum in the U.S., houses Pilgrim-Century furniture, the Amistad collection and a special treasure hunt system to entice kids to explore the museum's works. If your timing is right (end of June, beginning of July), you'll catch the Elizabeth Park rose gardens in bloom, but fall is also great for brilliant leaf colors, and spring yields colorful gardens and blossoming trees. For a bird's-eye view of the city, visit the observation deck of Travelers Tower, where you might also spot two resident falcons.

The food and service once we were seated was awesome. The salsa was great. They did a great job making a vegan friendly meal. We were there for the ninja warrior competition and they were all kinds of bizarre dietary request that they accommodated. My only criticism is that getting a seat which is way too difficult. We stood there in the way but people walking past itâs not looking at us. We felt kind of awkward

The service is really nice. Very friendly.They are very patient when I try ordering in Spanish. :0)We have (so far) always done take-out, but now that the weather is getting warmer, we may try to eat there. It seems very family friendly.The food is good. It seems more authentic than some chains I've been to.

The Coyote Flaco on New Britain Avenue has been in existence for approximately 19 years and the same family operates others eateries. It is closed on Monday. Small Bar. Long patio. Parking. Tasty food and attentive simpatico service. We tried the Chaulafan with chicken strips, skirt steak, shrimps and mushrooms served with mushrooms and vegetables and black beans. I like my Modelo Negro beer served in a nice cold glass.

This place is a true authentic Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is authentic, the food is authentic, everything is truly authentic. If you go to your local chain Mexican restaurant you are not getting authentic Mexican food... you are getting Americanized Mexican food. If you decide to pay a visit to El Nuevo Sarape Restaurant (which you definitely should) you will get authentic and delicious Mexican food.Not only is the food delicious, but the Margarita's are as well!!For those who would rather go to West Hartford to somewhere like Besito and pay a high price... don't bother. You can pay less and get MUCH BETTER FOOD in Hartford by visiting this place, or going to another restaurant like Cayote Flaco! I highly recommend visiting this place! I can not wait to go back!!!
5. El Pollo Guapo
Reviewed By AdventureDiva
This newly-opened restaurant has expanded space on Front Street compared to the original place in Wethersfield. El Pollo Guapo Hartford is located near Infinity Hall, Front Street Cinemas, Hartford's Convention Center and the Marriott Downtown Hartford Hotel. Rotisserie chicken rules here with options of fresh sides, tacos, cheese quesadillas, rice and salad bowls, etc. We shared a half bird with two "side chicks" of roasted corn and sweet potato wedges which was tasty. A "my peeps" menu is also for children under 10 years old.Staff was friendly and efficient.
