Los Mariachis, Southington

At Los Mariachis' two locations, the food is authentic, the tequila selection is extensive, and the lights are low (except on the Wallingford's patio, which enjoys lots of sunlight). Equally perfect for casual, easy dinners and big, friendly parties, Los Mariachis welcomes customers old and new with a crowd-pleasing menu of burritos, taco salads, and inventive margaritas. The restaurant's hallmark is its freshness, which informs everything from the hand-smashed guacamole to the seared-to-order steaks.
