If you’re like me, then you love hispanic foods. When I find a great Mexican restaurant, or a secret Latin-American joint, I am always overjoyed. Tacos, empanadas, tamales and everything in between can be found right here in Connecticut if you know where to look. But lucky for you, we’ve done all the looking! Definitely consider these for your next date night.

- Besito (West Hartford)

Elena H./Yelp The food here is less spicy, which is great for folks who can’t handle heat; the taste is just as great without the burn.
