If you’re looking for Mexican food that’s actually Mexican food and not Taco Bell, then you should definitely try Los Cabos at 36 Westport Avenue in Norwalk.
The atmosphere in Los Cabos is very relaxing, and an excellent place to have a nice family dinner. I sat in a booth seat and watched basketball on the television above. Spanish music blasted in the background.
Before I had ordered, the waiters brought out a basket of tortilla chips with salsa. The chips were warm, crispy and went well with the salsa. Just a warning: do not eat too many of the chips because you will fill yourself up quickly.
For an appetizer, I had some Dos Equis beer and ordered their Super Nachos. The chips were layered with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, onion, tomatoes, a choice of three meats (chicken, beef, pork: I went with beef) and melted American cheese.
The nachos were decadent, flavorful and overall very delicious. The beef was cooked well and went nicely with the rest of the platter.
For my entree, I went with the enchilada mexicanas: three enchiladas (cheese, pork, chicken) each covered with a different sauce. The dish came with rice and beans.
The enchiladas (a meat, cheese or other ingredient inside a wrapped tortilla) were very good. The chicken enchilada was covered in a brown mole sauce that I had never tried before, but tasted good. The pork enchilada was covered in an orangish-yellowish sauce for which I didn’t know the name. Both were delicious, as the meat was thoroughly cooked and full of flavor. I was not a fan of the cheese enchilada, but it wasn’t terrible.
Overall, I had a very good experience at Los Cabos. Good, authentic Mexican food is difficult to find, and you will not be disappointed if you come here.
