Zavala must either lower their prices or increase their quality if they want me to return. I have been in several times and am consistently disappointed. I know it's New England, but surely SOMEONE should be able to do good Mexican in town. more

Good luck getting a drink order taken 15 minutes after being seated. My Burrito Ramiro was made with canned chicken-- a disaster at ANY price. I doubt I will be returning to this establishment. more

The food was acceptable. I would have expected better considering the price. The restaurant was very stingy.

You would not expect Mexican in New London, except for Tex-Mex but this was good. Prices are reasonable as are drinks. The decor is substandard but it is a Mexican resturant. more

OMG - if you haven't tried the margaritas at this place, you're missing out. They've added Tex-Mex to the menu to satisfy the crowds, but I like their authentic options best (fish tacos and tuna ceviche are my favorites). more
