Tacos are delicious, and so is everything Mexican if you ask me. I'm a huge fan of the spiciness and flavors of authentic Mexican food. Now Mexican Connection wasn't the MOST authentic mexican I've had, but it was very good. I had the Texas Tomales and they were tasty. We all shared a plate of tacos and there was nothing left of them. Overall its a real cool place, we were hesitant to go in because of the facade, but we heard great things and weren't disappointed at all!

I haven't been here since last summer, but the happy hour here is incredible. I think $3 Margaritas - and they have the best chimichangas I've had in ny state.
