OT Where is the best burrito in CT?

[CCSUblue]

There is a Salsa 5 with the same logo as the one that's been posted on this tread, might need to check it out.

Do it.
Like I said, go in and check out the menu boards for something they custom offer there that is not listed online.

Ask for both the red and green salsas to dump on top.
And if you are daring, ask for their homemade Habanero salsa for the real tasty heat.
The combination of those 3 dumped on a burrito is something else.

Rincon in Norwalk.

Maria & Solidad, the owners of Rincon, are Chilean. Try the (chilean-style) Empanadas or anything else Chilean on the menu, a cuisine not found often in CT

The one you just bought at Rancho Market in Ogden

Anyone with a recommendation in greater Hartford? I got nothin

Don Taco in Plainville.

• friends and son loved the burritos
• owner is on the front lines
• enchiladas and birria tacos are awesome
• inexpensive, especially if BYOB is your thing. Previous visit had a bunch of Woodstock Treehouse in the cooler.

Going to have to try the Mil Sabores.

Went tonight, since I live near there. Burrito was superb as was the oxtail/chicken soup special and the flank steak empanadillas. Fun place on a Saturday night.

Had a verde soup in Tulum last year that put a crisp layer of fried crickets on top. Now that was different.

Three Amigos is my go to, but I will admit they don't seem to be the cleanest establishment and that always makes me nervous. Haven't died yet.

NOT the one I had the other day from a place in East Hampton. I'm still recovering from that disaster.

Talking about Pollo Loco right? I’ve lived in East Hampton for over 10 years and have always heard awful things about it. Said f it and gave it a shot couple months ago. Legit one of the top 5 worst meals I’ve paid for in my life.

Taco Bell.

Salsa 3 my spot in MTown. 3 good beef tacos for lunch, I think maybe rice and beans too. 12$ Good crew of hardworking people, putting out authentic Mexican food. Respect.

Fuego in Cromwell has been open for about a year now has excellent burritos and really good Mexican food overall. Then again, it could have been the four margaritas that I partook in!

Yup... Didn't want to put them on blast, but whoa... It's been several days, and I still feel a little off. The quesadillas there are pretty good, but I mean, how hard is it to do a quesadilla?

 

[boog204]

Even if it's good food that's how I am now. Last time I went to Mexico it took me a full week to recover. I love Mexican and Indian food but it destroys me now.

I usually have a pretty good stomach w/ most stuff. Eaten many times in Mexico with hardly an issue.

What exactly did you eat.

It was a "steak" burrito. Just not good at all.

Ah! Guey! in Stratford

Very solid rec. Interesting neighborhood spot too!

For the central CT area look of Salsa's and find the nearest one to you.
Go in to order for first timers because they offer a bunch more than the online menus that are written on boards

I like Salsa's 3 in Middletwon because it is close.

Anyone recall the Tacocorral in Manchester, CT?

Total dive feel, but the ketchup and mustard squeeze bottles were norm and spicy salsa.

Burritos, enchiladas, tacos, all as good as my time in Mexico.

Ah! Guey! in Stratford

Best burrito I've ever had. I almost can't believe how good it is every time I go.

 

[Dove]

I know the pizza thread is absurd, I have seen BEC and ice cream threads as well but how about Burritos? I think my favorite is at tacos los gordos in new haven.

How does one raise the level of a burrito to be the best?

 

[storrsroars]

Not authentic Mexican, but TJ's Burritos and Coffee in Bloomfield is really good.

Also, Salsas 3 in Middletown.

There are no "authentic" Mexican burritos anywhere. Mexican burritos are small things with mostly just meat. The things y'all are talking about came from the Southwest US, and fist-size ones from the SF Bay area. If you've had a large burrito with a butt load of fillings in Mexico, it would be because they're catering to US tourists.

Best I had in CT was from the Green Grunion food truck in Danbury. It was also the only burrito I've had in CT.
