- Cheap Eats
Edgar Marcial cooked in Connecticut kitchens for years, from Geronimo to Gabriele's of Westport, before opening this small downtown taqueria on Orange Street. CTbites describes corn brought from his birthplace in Oaxaca and milled in house into masa, tortillas pressed and griddled to order, and tacos kept to cilantro, onion and salsa rather than cheese or sour cream. Order the al pastor, shaved to order, then a mulita, the Tijuana-style pressed quesadilla, with birria in the middle.
