Ridgefield can be an absolute nightmare to drive through, especially on the weekends. One ofthe selling points of this establishment is that it's right on the periphery of the main downtown area, so (assuming you'recoming from the north) you can actually avoid going 5 mph for half a mile and letting every single pedestrian in FairfieldCounty cross in front of your car. The parking is also great there's a mini shopping center/strip mall right across theparking lot, so even if the spaces right by the restaurant are occupied, you don't have to go too far to find one. I don't havemuch of an eye for interior decorating (I usually just go to an estate sale and hope for the best), but this place has a veryunique, DIY scheme that still looks really professional and changes regularly depending on the season. My mom and I came herefor lunch this past Sunday, and they had a wintry theme going on a roaring gas fireplace and a lot of white decor (right nextto our table was this little display of white washed branches that kind of looked like a classy arts and crafts project, if thatmakes sense). You can tell a lot of careful thought went into the decorations, and it's a nice, unique touch. I'm not a hugeMexican cuisine fan as a general rule, but the menu veers closer to mainstream/Latin fusion so it's pretty easy to findsomething to eat; for every quesadilla or empanada, you'll find an edgy mac and cheese or a burger of some kind. For thisparticular adventure, I wasn't too hungry so I opted for the ahi tuna tacos app I've had it before and it's not particularlyfilling, but it is tasty. In my opinion it's a bit pricey for the amount of food; you're getting two smallish tacos for $17, soI think $13 or $14 is more in line with the portion. My mom ordered the grass fed burger and was pretty pleased with
