The Local on Six

It was after one of my hockey games that I Went to eats I got a steak taco it was the best taco I had ever had! I also herd the fish is awesome!

So I’m out working and was hungry looked up the places that were local to me and I came across EATS by chef Todd. Pulled up and was a little skeptical about this place having great tacos. Well they are amazing I ordered the chicken taco and he most make his own shells cause there great. The taco is flavorful and just the right amount of lettuce, tomatoes and cilantro long story short best 3 bucks I spent all month. Anytime I’m hungry and close I’m eating here

This place is great, the tacos are the best I’ve had CT. The shells are unreal. Also try the fries they are great for a roadside taco joint. The location kinda sucks on the side of route 6 which can be tough to get in and out and the hours are a bit erratic i.e. Sometimes open Sunday’s and sometimes closed Sunday’s. Definitely worth it if you’re in the area.

I’m not sure what to say. Don’t drive here thinking it’s a restaurant… it’s essentially a food truck without wheels (okay, maybe it has wheels). It’s so tiny that I tend to drive by it before I can hit the brakes without causing a rear-​end collision.
They usually have banners and signs out front promoting their tacos. Since the same location has been host to a couple of different vendors (clam shacks, sandwich joints), I never paid much mind. But then I kept seeing raves about it on Unilocal!Today, on a foggy, chilly, miserable drive around Connecticut I drove by EATS and they were still open! Open at a time of year when most road-​side vendors have shut down. I had to give it a try.
First of all, it may look like a hot-​dog/​burger joint, but tacos are what they do. They do them very well. And cheap! Choose from chicken, pork, beef, veggie, even mahi. They are all excellent. Cooked to perfection on a crispy/​soft grilled tortilla, with a nice mix of lettuce, tomato, etc, and a sublime light peppery-​ranch kind of sauce.
I was short on cash (they’ll take plastic for a 2.75% surcharge) so I just ordered a chicken and a mahi taco. Sides of fries and such are available, as are local Hosmer Mountain sodas and other drinks. Anyway, the tacos were just the best. Really, I was amazed. Despite it being chilly and damp, I stood right there at the counter and devoured them. I didn’t want them to get cold on the way home, and ruin the experience.
Sorry this is a late-​in-​the-​season review. I was told by the owner that he’ll stay open until the plow trucks block his parking lot. But if you want some seriously good tacos, this place rocks it.

So no change in the food but I have to say that I tried going for breakfast on Friday am at 715. Posted hours were 7am. No sign of life. Have heard similar things from others. Kind of annoying

Saw their sign on the side of the road and had to pulled over.
If you are looking for a small town burrito joint stop on by. The joint is small but it is all you need.
Todd (chef), smokes his own meats. The breakfast burrito is so big it showed up in a cup and I could not finish it. It cost $ 7!

The tacos are delicious! The owners seem like great people that want to give back to their community

Killer food! Skip the soda the limeade! You literally cannot choose something wrong here. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ and the price is right too!

5 stars all around.
I’m disappointed that my fat kid self scarfed the fish taco I had so fast it didn’t even occur to me to take a picture of it. But it was delicious. Everything from the fresh tortilla to the mahi and fixin’s just worked very well for what my tastebuds were craving. I was also a little hungover so this was perfection in my mouth.
I ordered a limeade as well, which another reviewer must have got a bad batch or maybe has missing tastebuds because this is exactly what limeade should taste like. I sucked down the first one while I was waiting for my taco. I figured «Damn, I didn’t even savor that to be able to enjoy some with my taco» but as he handed me my taco he asked if I would like a refill. Maybe my slurping on the last remaining drops made him feel sorry for me… haha he was a very nice gentleman. Very accommodating.
I will absolutely be back. I was very impressed. The prices are great and the food is quality!

Where is the button for more than 5 stars!
What are you waiting for, switch your app from Unilocal to google maps and get yourself to eats stat!
This is the kinda place that after my first visit I texted everyone I knew and sent them pictures and told them to try it asap.
Try the beef taco and you can thank me later. Tacos are ²⁄₅ $, the mahi is also great. I’ve also tried and enjoyed their daily specials, bfast burritos, hand cut fries, chicken sandwich… All good! This is some of the the tastiest food around and I’m just so happy I live close enough to come multiple times a week. Ok I think I’ve raved enough about it.

Well every other reviewer here so far only has 1 review on their profile so I’m not sure how legit those are. Perhaps I am the first actual reviewer… This place gets a solid 3.5 stars. I had passed it a few weeks back and added it to my bookmarks to try after seeing they had fish tacos (one of my personal favorites). Indeed, they did have mahi mahi tacos, although they didn’t have the lobster meat option that I saw in another review. I arrived just before 12 in an attempt to beat any lunchtime rush and that worked out well. There was no one there but the cashier/​cook — which is actually the first negative for this place. I have a growing hatred for places wherein the food handlers handle the money also. After taking the $ 12 I paid for 3 tacos, fries, and a limeade, the guy inside told me it’d be about 6min and then headed directly towards the food. I can’t actually confirm that he didn’t wash his hands but it’s unlikely. At least whip out a pair of latex gloves… Pricing was $ 3 for a taco or $ 5 for two. Not bad. There’s a small table to seat two people and a bench for a few more in front. Parking seems ample enough to where it wouldn’t be an issue.
Tacos:
Very small, but that’s to be expected at a $ 2.5−3.00 price point. The 3 tacos were each on a small tortilla soft shell and were just about as filling as Taco Bell, however the meat was fresh and flavorful! Served hot in aluminum foil, I had two fish and one chicken. No complaints.
Fries:
The «hand cut fries» were indeed hand cut, but did seem very fresh. VERY greasy. Tasty but these were probably the most greasy fries I’ve had in a few years! Also, as I got closer to the bottom of the basket, the fries were increasingly crunchy and less flavorful. I’m assuming the cook put the fresher fries on top to make it look better. They tasted as if they had been dipped no less than 3x in grease. I’m thinking the outcome would’ve been better had I caught him at a busier time wherein he would’ve possibly been forced to make some fresh fries. They showed potential but, based on what I got today, I wouldn’t recommend them.
Limeade:
Don’t buy. Save your $ 1. Just lime and water. No sugar. That is all.
The cook/​cashier was very courteous though and I didn’t have to worry about tax when paying which I thought was cool. I’d say, if you’re coming here, don’t venture out. Stick with the tacos and you’ll be safe.
