OT: Corona Take Out- Hartford Area

[BRS24]

Coyote Flaco just over the line in Hartford is the place to go for Mexican take out. You can also get margaritas to go

Is Monte Alban on Farmington Ave still open (we're not in CT anymore)? Loved the corn masa and Enchilada Oaxaquenas. Hubby loved the shrimp a la diabla.

In Elmwood Frida's is doing takeout. Highly recommended for good mexican. Just saw Max Burger is opening again for takeout so we'll be hitting that soon as well.

Ate there before pretty good stuff

You West Hartford folks need to make sure you're keeping Jimmie's and Park Lane alive.

I like Jimmie’s and Park Lane but if I’m going Greek style it’s Yani’s, Jimmie’s, Park Lane in order but Olympic in Glastonbury is even better for the buffalo chicken/ pepperoni combo pizza!

If you’re East of the river in Hartford area it’s Lucky Taco

Love Lucky Taco in Manchester....
Lucky Taco was in the process of opening a new place in the Parkville section of Htfd in the same building as Hog River Brewing. Not sure of their status with everything going on now....

Man that’d be great. They also opened a Togo window at urban lodge brewing right down the street.

Don't sleep on Chilis To Go take out. I got the 3 for $10 earlier this week. Appetizer, drink, chicken crispers and fries as well as corn on the cob. Lot of food for $10. Would recommend.

We tried the Elmwood/W Htfd Pepe's when they opened seven or eight years ago. That was enough. IMHO, the original in New Haven is a classic. Their Mohegan Sun location is better than average. But West Hartford was nowhere near worth the price.

The one in Fairfield is very good. close to the original. I had the one in Elmwood which i thought was good also. Guess it can be hit or miss.

They are breaking law by selling margaritas to go unless they are canned. My buddies restaurant just got in serious trouble for selling espresso martini to go. Unless it's canned, bottled, or wine/ liquor bottle unopened you can't sell it

If that's the case, then the law is ridiculous during times like these and should be rewritten and ignored. Also, we did takeout on Saturday and my wife got the sangria which was made in the restaurant.

They can sell their margarita mix in a “make your own” plastic cup w/ sealed tequila nips. They just can’t be premixed w/ alcohol in CT.

I bartended for more than a decade and especially prided myself on my margaritas, for which I would never use a premade "mix." Until I discovered RIPE. Nothing but lime juice, orange juice and agave. Made in CT with HQ in New Haven, to boot. Great product. Their Bloody Mary mix is also excellent--made with San Marzano tomatoes.

First and Last Tavern had my brick oven pizza ready in 15 mins and they're doing 20% off there normal pizza pricing. Limited menu for other items though.

Great product good friends with the kid who started RIPE kinda feel bad for him cause when he was looking for investors to grow the company he gave up controlling stake then the board voted/ bought him out of his own company he started from scratch

That’s bummer; I hope he was well compensated.

It is a great product and I was very impressed when I toured the place last year. Spotless facility with a really impressive process and very cool equipment. You could eat off the floors of the place. You probably know this but they also provide a fresh juice line that is sold through Whole Foods.

Sayulita in Glastonbury

If you want to order from here, they only have 1 phone line so you need to drive there in person to order. I called them 100+ times before i got through.

I got one a while back. It was the margarita mix in regular cup and a nip of tequila.

Brah, what?

IKR?

I mean, you gotta go babybacks there, amirite?

Too bad about Pepe’s. I’m in the New Haven area and the original Wooster Sq. Pepe’s is using DoorDash. We had it last week and it was as good as ever. I’ve never had pizza from their other locations.

 

[Caronimo]

I'm just waiting for him to create a snitch line... I will flood it with cesspool items.

Baby backs weren’t an option on the 3 for 10 otherwise I would’ve!

He would have preferred to stay on instead of being bought out. When your 2 biggest market/ travel places are Vegas, LA, Miami it gets the best of you. The board thought he partied/ spent too much on those business trips. Granted he did but he built great inroads/ relationship with a lot of clubs in those cities and they still carry his product today.

He worked in restaurant/ bar bartender for long long time. Knew how important fresh squeezed juices/ mixes were and came up with the multiple RIPE products. Wanted to create a product that saved bartenders time making drinks without sacrificing the fresh squeezed taste.

He's working on some sort of tap system now.

Head over the mountain to Amici’s in Avon. They’re running a family meal special. Got a tray of penne w/ chicken parm, bread and a big salad for $28. Says it feeds 4 but it was enough for 3 people to stretch into 2 meals.

Capitol Lunch has a "Cappy Kit". Inexpensive and a lot of good food.

I love RIPE! Going to college in New Mexico I was extremely spoiled by the margaritas. Nothing comes close but RIPE is very good.

Sayulita has the best margaritas in CT. Their spicy margarita is phenomenal
