Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Sorry, just woke up from a temporary food coma due to the effect of delicious, filling Mexican food! We went there because my husband has been there twice through the connection of his co-worker. Chances are, if someone told me about restaurants they've visited and recommended, I will have to try them. I always order soup if they have available. I ordered the shrimp soup. It was delicious. I was glad that they didn't make it way too spicy as many other restaurants would sometimes. The shrimps were fresh. Horchata was also on point! The entire restaurant was clean, so was the bathroom. The decor inside the bathroom was very cute (some feminine touch)! I like the hot salsa they had to start us off. I actually like it warm! Overall, I will come back if I happen to end up on the south side. There's customer parking available on Ashland!

Okay, this place is growing on me. I really enjoy the fresh warm salsa. I ordered the giant sope (first time ever) and that thing was massive. My fault, I forgot to ask if beans come on it, but next time I'll know. Luckily it wasn't too overpowering and she offered to make me another, but I declined. Not her fault. Chill place. I like how we can just sit and enjoy our meal and they will come check on us once in a while.

My first time in this restaurant and is a nice place to eat! It looks clean and the best part is when they give you the small soup to start while you wait for your food. That is a great welcoming. Also i love how they bring a big bottle of water so whenever you run out of water you can just serve more without having to wait or ask the waitress. The salsa was great and warm with the chips, delicious!! I ordered a sope and it was really big!! No wonder why they call it Giant. It was delicious and crispy. Overall it was a great experience I will come back again!!

The Huevos Cochinos were absolutely delicious. Very flavorful. The side of beans had a great smokey flavor. The best fresh corn tortillas I have ever had All of my coworkers agreed and one of them said the steak taco was also very good. This is going to be an office favorite!

Vista Hermosa is a few inches in the negative on the sliding scale of mexican food in bridgeport & new city. They have a good delivery times, lots of options on the menu, and a decent amount of room for improvement. Tonight I ordered a couple of vegetarian burritos. I ordered them with avocado and extra rice. When the food came, they sent along 3 medium sized containers of salsa. The salsa doesn't have much flavor aside from tomato. It would be much better if they spiced it up, and offered both red and green salsa. They also included a small bag of chips. The chips were a little stale, but I can't really complain about something I didn't ask for. The burritos were so-so, and would have been improved by some more flavorful salsa. They could have also improve the burritos by adding a some more re-fried beans, pickled carrots, pickled onions, hot peppers, and that sort of thing. I also couldn't help but to be a little bothered by how much tortilla was left over, though the burrito is pretty filling. Vista, do the following and you have a fan: 1) Don't worry about the chips and salsa, people don't usually expect those to come with delivery 2) Pack a little bag of spicy carrots, onions, and peppers with tacos and burritos 3) Start making spicier salsa - red and green - feel free to make the containers smaller if it cuts into your profit margins.

First time and last time going to this place. Went there to pick up some food me and a friend ordered online (see her review elsewhere on this page). When we got there they weren't particularly friendly, but whatever. The food was kinda cold. Did they completely ignore the food pickup time we specified and just made it immediately upon receiving the order? Probably. They did include chips and salsa in with our meal, which is nice. My friend's chips were stale, whereas mine were okay. But the salsa containers had blue marker on the bottom which promptly wiped off onto my fingers and stained them until I could find a sink to vigorously scrub the bright blue off. My friend discovered a hair in her food. Gross. She gave me fair warning, but I decided that it must be an anomaly and decided to eat my food I paid good money for anyways. The stuffed avocado seemed like a good idea, but it was a complete mess inside the container, the ingredients splattered around like a Jackson Pollock piece. The meat tasted alright though. The vegetarian burrito was kind of wimpy in that it had far too much sour cream and cheese. But it had avocado in it, which is a plus. When I was almost done with the burrito I found a 3 inch long black hair awaiting me. What. The. F. Can't say I wasn't warned. Update: Just read the owner's response. I posted here and didn't call because it shouldn't be my job to help you with the cleanliness of your restaurant. Maybe I should've taken a picture if you don't believe me? Honestly I was too disgusted to want to deal with getting a refund, and judging by the lecturing from your response on here I'm glad I didn't anyways. I'm sorry if you lose business as a result of this, but hair in both me and my friend's meal? Kind of appalling. In the end it seems your restaurant will be more careful now so take that as the silver lining.

This place is simply delicious! I've been a loyal customer since they opened and have no complaints. Their dishes are traditional, prices affordable, and they have great service. If you are in the area it is a must visit spot.

This place is SO good! I temporarily was living around the area and honestly, this place is just as good if not better than the big Lalos and Coculas in the city! The girls up front are so nice, I don't know who the other reviewers were talking negatively about. No such thing at this restaurant. We got a nice carafe of water, chips and salsa, soup. OMG I felt so at home. It is such a nice gem in this part of the neighborhood and I am glad it brightened my view of the businesses in this area. The people up front and waitresses are so nice and professional. I highly recommend this place. Hefty portions, delicious food, excellent service. What a winner! :)

I'm giving this place 3 starts because there's food it pretty great but service is not the best. I came here with my mother because she had been saying to wanted to try this place. We get here, sit down, have a young lady greet is with menus. We look at the menu and sat there for 15 minutes with no chips or salsa coming our way nor did they come ask if we wanted anything to drink. They kept passing by without even looking at us. The place wasn't even busy. My mother had to get one of the waitresses attention to let her know we were ready to order. We place our order and we still have no chips and salsa but others tables do and arrived after us. Again, my mother had to get up and go to the counter to ask if we had to order ships and salsa. They apologized and brought them out. The waitress that was taking care of was professional about it and apologized even though she wasn't the one that greeted us when we arrived. As a person who is in the industry and went to culinary school, bad service can lead to people not wanting to come back even if the food is great. I will still come back and try again the food is really good and I liked the plating what I ordered. I had the carne a la tampiqueña. Very good food overall!

I went there on a Sunday with my daughter and husband. For the most part the food was ok, no complains. The thing that really bothered me was at the end. I normally tip 20-22%, when I got the check o noticed there was an 18% gratuity which is not even legal anymore. I asked the server " the tip is included right?" And he said "No it's a service charge for the restaurant, for the service, I don't get any of it." The way he said it, it sounded like he was lying or didn't even know what it was for. How can you be charged for a service and then have to pay a tip. I work in a restaurant and if we did something like that we better have a proper explanation of what and why we are charging for something. At first I was just baffled, but after we left it just bothered me more and more. So, sorry to say I don't think I will be back.

I have had one or more items from every part of the menu, the menudo on the weekends is spicy enough, meaty enough, and gosh darn it, you're gonna like it! Some scrambled eggs and potatoes? Not on the menu, but I got it! why? Because their motto is "Donde se cumplen Tus antojos" 'where your cravings are satisfied'. If they've got the ingredients, they'll make it. How awesome is that? Like walking into your abuelitas kitchen and she's asking you what you want for breakfast or lunch or dinner?? The guacamole is some of theBEST IVE HAD at a restaurant. They've mastered the art of balancing spice with lime and saltiness. Perfection. Another speciality is the Cecina steak. Perfectly seasoned and cooked so that it's soft and juicy. Now picture it inside a FRESHLY HAND MADE CORN TORTILLA with that guacamole I just mentioned and some home style pinto beans. Yes. And the piece de resistance? The Parrilladas! A variety of seasoned Grilled meats and seafoods along with grilled vegetables served on an impressive hot live grill brought to your table to share with everyone as you sip on your BYOB pack of Modelos..or you can order a personal one and watch as everyone around you watches you eat with envy. The owners are a young, humble, hardworking family that put it all on the line to follow the husband's dream of owning a Mexican restaurant. He's not only the owner, he's the Man in the kitchen! And his wife, taking the business side of things, has done everything possible to make this restaurant Clean, efficient, and keep the clients full and happy! Like Me!

Nice clean place. The breakfast specials are a steal before noon. I got soup, chips and salsa, huevos con chorizo, rice and beans, and coffee for $4.36.
