Capuli Cocina Latina — Restaurant in Norwalk

My man and I stopped by this spot today because the reviews were so good, and we were not disappointed! I started with the banana smoothie and it was delicious; I don’t know anywhere else in the area where you can get a large, fresh smoothie for $3.50. Honestly worth the trip just for that. The sweet plantains were soft yet crispy and tossed in a perfect amount of cinnamon. By the time we got to the enchiladas (shrimp and short rib) we were both full because the portions are generous, but we still were able to sample them. Amazing! My boyfriend was literally scraping the sauce from the shrimp enchiladas off of the plate into his to go box. We ended up getting four meals out of the food we ordered, yet the bill was very affordable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and they spoke excellent Spanish and English. Plenty of accessible and free parking around the corner. Highly recommend this hidden...

Skip going into the heart of SONO and choose The America's Cafe, a small "Latin & American" restaurant that sits on the corner of S. Main and Raymond St. The prices are ridiculously reasonable (half of what you'd pay in the heart of SONO), the food is well seasoned and delicious! I ordered the shrimp and black bean salad with a side of french fries. Aside from a few wilted greens, everything was on point! The fries were cut from fresh potatoes. The hostess/waitress was professional, friendly, and very attentive. She checked in on me about 3-4 times during my visit and I was super appreciative of that. I decided to sit outside and thoroughly INjoyed the small patio decor and people watching. Save a few dollars and check...

As a former Norwalk resident, I was thrilled to rediscover the local food scene during a recent visit. I stumbled upon Capuli, a gem that apparently opened last spring. If only I had known about it before moving away!

The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. But it was the food that truly stole the show. I opted for the taco sampler, and every single bite was a flavor explosion. The chicken tacos, in particular, were a standout. Juicy, flavorful, and far superior to any I've had in the area.

I also couldn't resist trying the grilled steak and Birria tacos. Both were absolutely delicious, with a comforting, homemade taste. I can't wait to return and explore...
