Claudia's in Farmington on Rt 4 is absolutely fuego. Chicken parm GODS.
 
It’s been awhile but a trip to the Polish National Home was always an adventure. If the waitress thinks you are taking too long to order you’ll end up with the polish sampler. Take it easy on beer though. Small cups but they pack a punch.
Another option is pho Boston right on the line with West Hartford—bear A Dongs. That’s a good choice this time of year.
 
Coyote Flaco on new britain ave is my go to for mexican.

I drove by there a couple weeks ago and couldn't believe that's still open. My parents got chicken from there all the time. If it's anything like it was back then, it's definitely worth checking out.

It is! Ask for Sylvia. The owner! It takes 20 mins after your order to receive the goodies. Fresh :) I am as old school as you can get though at times.

Can't believe I missed this one. Totally a hidden gem in Hartford and has been featured in Gourmet magazine. I'm half polish and the pierogi are worth the trip alone.

The chicken cutlet grinder was legendary there decades ago. Is it still as good?

I have a hidden gem on Main St. in Manchester. Bui. Real good Vietnamese food. A little pricy for lunch, but definitely yummy. I had dinner there tonight and am already looking forward to the next trip.

I agree. Carl's BBQ in East Hartford is real good. I usually go with the Jamaican Jerk Chicken sandwich.

I will second this. Yummy food from an absolute hole in the wall. Sketchy area, next to a package store But damn that food is good.

That’s what makes it a “hidden gem” gotta try it!

Just want to say that if I have been critical of basketball-related posts by anyone contributing to this thread, I apologize. We may differ in temperament or outlook, but somehow a thread like this is akin to sharing a meal together. Peace.
