Taqueria El Ahijado - Wilton

This business has closed and is now the Taqueria Dillard

This place has amazing authentic Mexican food. I got tacos and had steak, chicken, pulled pork and barbacoa. The barbacoa was my favorite and absolutely delicious. The chicken was also great. Would very very highly recommend. Our favorite restaurant here we’ve visited

We have always heard about this place and plenty of our business associates told us the same and we've driven by this corner many of times. So on this Sunday morning at approximately 11:30 am, we went in to the small eatery with about 12 or so tables and ordered away!!! A lunch special, 2 piece ribs with rice and beans was a must. Fall off the bones, meaty, moist and flavorful ribs. It looks like refried beans and yellow/orange colored rice with a few roasted peppers on the side. Yum!!! I also had the over stuff gorditas with pork, and a pork taco. My love had the pork taco and a steak taco and they were all full of flavor, decent sized, fully loaded, and fresh!!! Wash it down with a couple of sodas and we were set!!! Fast, quick, service from the two registers, inside and outside seating, plenty of cold drinks in their massive self serve refrigerator. The outside smokers were doing their thing smoking up the ribs and chicken and the Avenue. The chicken will be ordered on the next time around. Plenty of free parking out front. Little tip... on Sundays, you have to venture there, come early because the local church's let out and the line will get really long out the door with families from around the neighborhood!!! Yum!!! We will be back!!!

Don't be put off by the line at lunchtime. They have a way of taking orders and delivering fresh, hot food that moves very quickly. We were not put off and the reward was so delicious. My husband went with an assortment of 5 tacos all good. I had the chicken dinner which came with 4 or 5 tacos. I shredded the meat and made my own tacos. Again, all so very, very good. The portions are huge and very delicious. Afterwards, I went round back to see the grilling of the chicken all fresh.

Worth the detour. Part of a gas station, but seating outside is pleasant. Burrito was top 10% for sure.
