  There seem to be a lot of Mexican restaurants in the central CT area, and I've been to a decent amount of them. In my opinion, Plaza Aztecs is the BEST Mexican I've had in CT so far. They do fresh table side guacamole, make sure to get it spicy!! You can really taste the cilantro, which I LOVE.
  
  The carne asada burrito is cheesy is humongous, although one time I think I ate the entire burrito, but I love food so I can't stop sometimes. Their salsa is fresh and the chips are salty goodness. There is indoor and outdoor seating, sit outside if you can, they will still do tableside guac outdoors.

  I really struggled how to rate this Mexican restaurant.  I think it is better than how others reviewed it, but I can see how it has the potential to fall short.
  
  If you don't have time to read a whole review - my takeaway is that the food is good for a chain Mexican restaurant, but there is much better out there.  I've had amazing Mexican (see my review of Erick's) and this was ok competitively.  In fact - Puerta Vallarte just up the road should be your go to Mexican restaurant.
  
  Ok so what worked here?  The vegan bowl was actually very good.  It is hard to make a vegan dish that makes you say, hm I'll order that again.  But this dish had such great combination of flavors I would order it again.
  
  My son raved about their beef tacos.  But he had only been exposed to Taco Bell, so his standards aren't that high.
  
  The churros.  Ok these were the absolute highlight of our meal.  We might go back just for the churros.  Perfectly crispy and sugary on outside and chewy on inside.. with lovely honey drizzle.  I'm salivating just thinking about them.  I would have given the place a 4th star just for these churros...
  
  And now for what didn't work:  you get free chips and salsa when you sit down.  This should be a plus, but the salsa was super watery and as someone else mentioned, too tomato sauce like.  It needed something that I couldn't put my finger on.  The chips needed salt.  My son actually salted them as they were bland.
  
  The plating wasn't great - I usually don't pay too much attention to it, but my son's build your own dish looked bland. He didn't finish his food .. he didn't like the enchilada.
  
  The only other thing I would comment on is that the staff seemed off... it is difficult to describe it but they almost seemed annoyed.  Our waitress was very nice but she looked stressed out.... and the place was empty.

  So I've been going to this Mexican restaurant since I was 6 years old!!!! This restaurant is okay! I started going here with family and friends and to be honest it's not bad! It's not the best Mexican restaurant in Connecticut! The guacamole is good! The chips is okay! And the tacos and the food there isn't bad! I love how you can have a view of target and honestly just love it!  Then we moved to Berlin Connecticut to Burlington Connecticut and honestly that place is far away from our house and it's kind of sad since that restaurant is my childhood and it's still my childhood! My parents don't really like the restaurant!

  Stopped in on a whim. Very friendly hostess who promptly got us seated. Immediate chips and salsa and drink order in. Drinks arrived promptly and were excellent. Server was very knowledgeable about the menu and we were a bit difficult because of the size of the menu. She steered us in a direction and it turned out great. The portions are satisfactory and the fajitas were great! Due to time constraints we were unable to stay for dessert but will be back to explore the menu in depth

  I don't know where to start... we can start at the most important part the food. I've been here a few times and have tried to give them the benefit of doubt but geez this has to be the worst Mexican restaurant in CT in my opinion! The food is either over cooked or incorrect or lacking flavor! The service is terrible as they lack customer service and the staff have a I don't care attitude. I spoke to an employee about my incorrect order and all he could say was we can refund you. Deff a place I will never return to and I love Mexican food.
