Taco Central - Ansonia

We went to Taco Central, the service was excellent as well as the food and drinks. We tried the margaritas and a Molcajete which were delicious ? Thank you for the good experience Taco Central.

My wife and I had lunch here today. We were their only customers from 11:40Am to 12:40PM. Service was slow. The waitress was hard to understand at times. She had a heavy accent and talked fast.We ordered medium margaritas. They were just an average-sized drink and they were all ice. The mix they used was very sweet and there was very little alcohol in the drinks. Later, my wife wanted something else to drink. The waitress said they had a Pinot Grigio which turned out to be an unopened $10 screw top bottle of Sterling that was bad. I mean, really bad. She acted like she did not believe me and I suggested she taste it. They had no other wines! My wife settled for another margarita.The guacamole had a strange ingredient in it. I think it was ascorbic acid. It might have been vinegar. It was not lime or lemon. It made the guacamole much too tart and acidic. It was also too salty. The black beans were inedible because they were so salty. My chile relleno was greasy and it never got hot enough in the middle to melt the cheese at all. The same for everything else. It was lukewarm, greasy and some food was over-salted.The salsas were strange. One seemed to have cream in it. Another salsa was pretty hot but the flavor was poor.The barely warm rice had hard kernels of old rice mixed in with reasonably tender rice (bland, plain rice with red color but no flavor). I found a hard kernel of rice in with my chile relleno.We had guacamole, a Tuesday taco special of greasy, bland ground beef, and a chile relleno plate.The bill was $90 something. They charged us $7 for the bad wine!They charged us a 15% service charge . I saw nothing anywhere that said they were going to charge us a service charge AND they still listed suggested tip amounts on our bill...The waitress had to get help from the other woman there to be able to process our credit card. This took a while. Another revue mentioned the same issue. I gave her a $10 tip (because of the 15% service charge) and the total bill was over $110!From somewhere in the bar area they had sounds from two different sources, that made for annoying racket.The waitress made no effort to clear the table at any time and she kept giving me my wife 's drinks. She asked if everything was okay about when we were finished. Again, we were the only customers!Just totally disappointed in the meal and service.

$23 for a medium spicy margarita is absolutely insane. I'm pretty sure they just make up the prices since I saw someone else get charged $18 for the same thing last week. Be careful.Edit: There was nothing special or any additional ingredients added.

We found this place by accident and so happy we did! We loved all of the food! Grilled chicken tacos, Steak tacos, beef and potato empanadas all worth going in for. The waitress, Lilianna was so sweet and very good. She made the experience even better.

Great experience until it came time to pay. Charging an originally $13 margarita $18? Tried to argue and say the menu explicitly says $13 but they decided to gaslight us and say “the server asked if you wanted small or medium you said medium…” no the f she didn’t. She asked if we wanted salt or sugar/spice or no spice. That was it. A broke college student would have remembered a question like that. Sucks because the experience was great and you just lost a potential regular customer.
