Taco Central

The presentation was great, the food looked and smelled great, but it was very salty, could have been a fluke, but not impressed will not be going back. My birria tacos tasted like a cinnamon ball. ????

We visited Taco Central for dinner last night, one of the newer spots that’s opened up in downtown Ansonia. I really liked the vibe when I walked in - the string lights on the ceiling, as well as the wooden tables and walls, gave it a southwestern vibe. We had a nice waitress who told us some of her menu recommendations and what was popular. I thought it was cool that the restaurant offered a variety of Latin dishes and not just Mexican food! Some of the dishes I saw on the menu are rare to find in The Valley. The food itself was a bit lacking in flavor - very mild salsa; the tacos al pastor mentioned that it was marinated in chilies and spices, and though the meat was tender, I didn’t quite get the flavor profile I was expecting. It also mentioned that pineapple would be mixed in, but I only found small pieces and could barely taste it. The Central Sampler was a great way to get a little bit of everything for an appetizer, but unfortunately the guacamole was noticeably old, as it was

This place is bussin. Delicious food and great staff. Friday night entertainment. A duo singing spanish fun music. Nice selection of drinks.
