Shoot, my bad, I was thinking of tacos los gordos! Both are good though. TLG is also walkable you a bunch of other spots in that area too.

This is def OP best bet. The food trucks along 95 can be a fun way to spend a nice day

Sounds like the perfect day for me. If I had known earlier, that a heavenly place like this exists in New Haven, I would have spend a lot of great moments already there. I am back in febuary and looking forward to see my first game there with you guys. Cheers from a Vienna Gooner who spends a lot of time in New Haven recently. #comonyougunners

well if u can start tonight a little early at 3pm the Cannon pub is showing the Premier league Cup with arsenal and then their happyhour til like 7:00.

Look at Daily Nutmeg for New Haven.

Oooo will def try! Thanks for the tip!

I'm always hearing about parties at Rize in new haven. Depending on how old u are, that might be an option lol

How could I forget, Fair Haven is where I first had mofongo!

I’m sure it won’t live up to so cal, but if you guys haven’t tried Tacos Santa Fe, it’s the best Mexican in the area. Little food cart that primarily serves Mexican workers at the docks. Their tlacoyas are heavenly.

Parking at West Haven is free nights and weekends.

No such thing as exclusive Mexican neighborhoods.

Thank you for saying this. Puerto Rican erasure is real

AND Puerto Rican

Is there another besides the one in Milford?

Corner of Lombard and Ferry is a great taqueria. Oyameles with and Mexican market next door

I agree. Zeneli is maybe a little better than Dallas-based Cane Rosso but not somewhere to take people from out of town when we’re in New Haven. I’ve had Neapolitan pizza everywhere, including in Italy. But the New Haven char is the specialty here. Wait in line at the New Haven Big Three like Texans wait in line for top Texas barbecue. It’s worth it.

A lot of the “Mexican” in New Haven is Salvadorian, but yt people usually don’t care to notice the flag on the taco truck ain’t Mexico’s 😂

Perfectly safe. NHV is awesome

This is helpful, thanks! I've visited there with my wife and the greenery is definitely something she likes out there. It's so dry in CA but that's what she grew up with.

There are lots of markets! I've found they're great for spices and non-perishables, but sometimes the produce can be more difficult to find. There are some panaderias around too. It is really easy to get on the train to NYC, so you guys will have access to good Mexican food, but it just won't be as close as you are used to.

My bf really likes the area. There's stuff he misses about home, and things he really prefers here, such as all of the green trees! There are also a surprising number of people living here from California. He is a graduate student, so we live in an area called East Rock, which is where most of the grad students live. It's a ~5-10 min drive to Fair Haven area

Is there anywhere to get good Mexican or Tex-Mex in the area? Everything I’ve tried has been total garbage or $30+

Whatever you do, don’t go to East Haven.

There’s a bbq chicken on Whitney, which is a Korean chicken franchise that’s actually from Korea - they have a ton of sauce options.

For Japanese, I’ve heard great things about Hachiroku. It just opened recently, but everyone I know who’s been has raved about it.

Thanks, will do

Thanks, good to know
