I have nothing to answer your questions with but I will say welcome to CT and once you get here do yourself a favor and check out New Haven to try some real pizza.

We came here from Texas. We’ve found plenty of delicious Latin food in CT. There is a sizable Hispanic population here.

Our very favorite place is Valencia Luncheria in Norwalk. We just moved to the New Haven area from Stamford so are still trying places here. There seem to be some promising spots in West Haven (we plan to try a spot called Chiquita Queen) and there are also a ton of food trucks in New Haven along the coast (called Food Truck Paradise) that we haven’t tried yet. We have also really liked Don Rene taqueria in Milford. In Stamford, Cantina Mexicana and Cinco de Mayo were our favs for tacos.

Lots of Mexican food trucks along Long Wharf in New Haven. Never tried them(not a fan of Mexican food), but they are always busy around lunchtime.

I’m originally from California and I lived in Connecticut for a few years so I know how you feel! But if you’re ever in Willimantic there is a great Mexican restaurant called Taqueria Cordoba and their food is amazing! I’ve only had a few of their dishes but the salsa and chips are amazing. Plus they have horchata too!

Nearly all kitchens in CT have Mexican workers, you will find Mexican food no problem.
