Taqueria 5 Westbrook — Restaurant in Westbrook

It's difficult to find authentic Hispanic food this far north (without going to Wallingford), but Taqueria Cinco nails it. The food here is great every time. I highly recommend the menudo. This time of year, menudo is the perfect solution to keep yourself warm. If that doesn't sound good, then the pozole is equally fantastic.

All in all, this is an easy 8.5/10. I'll definitely be...

It had rice and beans, a small salad, cornmeal cake topped with streak with a special sauce on top and Pico de Gallo to put on the salad. The cornmeal cake tasted homemade and also it had this small sweetness to it which added...
