Sandra's Mexican Food & Taqueria

Very much a dive but the place is really good food is excellent all family run

Have been searching for southern California style tacos during my stays in CT. This place seems to be the only brick n motor establishment to offer birria in Fairfield County. Meat and cheese ratio was pleasant to the palate. Caritas and beef tongue were not overly griddled and remained tender. No frills when it comes to dining area but ample tables indoor and outdoors to wolf some tasty menu choices. No alcohol served and don't know whether byob is an option. However, it seems more of a takeaway/catering style restaurant vs an evening out joint.

I hope this place has success vs the glorified local restaurants that cater to more American palates and eyes. Along, what seems, detail focused on serving trending vibes than their "american-mexican" food. This area of town is often overlooked given only a few retail stores and takeaway places remain. Definitely a great option for some takeaway tacos or a quick stop in.

Some peeps get confused by rating system so here is my gauge...
1 star - tried it and will pass
2 stars - fine but not likely to seek out or turn into a go to spot
3 stars - food and service better than average and will return
4 stars - great (food, service, cleanliness, and vibe)
5 stars - no room for improvement and a culinary destination

Really great tacos - al pastor is especially tasty, but the beef and carnitas were also excellent. Great neighborhood place!

Birra tacos are good
