Moved here from California, visited family in Mexico over Christmas, and my verdict is that Mexican food in New Haven is very underwhelming.

To OP’s question, unfortunately I don’t think VivaZ delivers but I have to mention it as my favorite for Mexican in town.

Love the new Vivas! The old Vivas literally put American cheese on the nachos.

As another who's been through the authentic areas, I am stunned to hear Viva's mentioned. I will have to give it a whirl.

And you should see about Baja's in Orange, as well as the two on Dixwell in Hamden (Orale and Mazorca). They're both new-ish yet, but solid. Curious how you might feel about them.

Barring those - I still pine for El Charrito's, but don't get out to the Stamford/Greenwich border much these days.
