My regular job is located in Bridgeport CT which is home to the largest city population in the state. With that many people, there are hungry mouths to feed. There is a large population of Latin residents and therefore a fair amount of Latin Food.
When you look at the store front, you know you are in a place that caters to the local crowd. There is not a lick of English anywhere. The space inside is a narrow almost Pizza joint feel with tables on both sides, a TV in the corner and a Juke box in the other. Sergio the owner is almost always at the counter waiting to take your order.
The Menu shows that they serve everything from Breakfast to Dinner and everything in between. Fortunately or Unfortunately, at my office we have only gotten one thing there. Tacos. The Tacos that they make here are like you would get when you are down in Mexico. They are simple and they let the natural flavors of the meat and salsas do the talking. And they don't really talk. They Scream!!!!
We usually get a mix of the Chicken and the Pork Tacos. But they offer so much more. They have Beef, Tongue, Sausage and a whole bunch of other organ meat for the brave. They serve three home made salsas that are fresh made everyday. Plus they have a pickle mix that includes Cactus which is full of flavor. When we get the tacos, we ask to have extra grilled spring onions and Jalepenos. Served in two flour tortillas, with a squeeze of lime takes you to a local stand in Mexico City.
Their other dishes include Burritos, Grilled Chicken Dishes and Pork Dishes, and a Mexican soup called Posole which I saw one day. Looks like a meal rather than a soup.
Go visit Sergio. You'll be glad you did.
Taqueria La Michoacana can be found at 1914 Main St. in Bridgeport. 203-366-6590.
