Mexican restaurant · Wallingford

"After RoRo BBQ lost the lease on its offsite space for smoking meats, the owners closed down the restaurant and teamed up with new co-owner Cayetano Mendez to reopen as a taqueria. The tacos here are textbook; the tortillas have a just-right hint of toasty and smoky char while retaining the requisite pliancy. The meats are enticingly seasoned and tender, and provoke the salsa conundrum that is a sign of taco greatness: The salsa is so good that it begs to be used on the tacos, but the tacos are so juicy and flavorful that they require nothing more than the chopped cilantro and onion they’re served with." - Megan Hill, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Mark DeJoy
