We are pleased to say that the place was packed as soon as we arrived, but I always like to make reservations! This time we made a reservation for two and they said yes, but when we arrived they told us that they couldn't take reservations for two since all the tables were for more than 4. However, the person who served us sat us at the bar anyway, which was an excellent decision.

“ We’ve visited Loteria twice now, and they’re definitely one of our favorites for Mexican food in the Southington area. The family that runs this restaurant is so kind, and they go above and beyond to provide attentive service. All of the food is delicious, and we recently enjoyed their new happy hour specials. They even have a brunch menu with quite a variety of options to choose from. We hear there’s a mariachi band on Fridays that we’ll have to come back for! ”
“ Delicious authentic Mexican food. Slightly overpriced however what's a buck or two when you're out with friends. We ordered the burrito and a quesadia. Both were generously packed with fresh foods. My specialty martini was delicious and the large margarita was large! We did not feel rushed and were welcomed to take our time. We sat at the bar however there were plenty open seats in the dining room. Friendly atmosphere. Great attentive staff. We were offered some Mexican house water ; ) Overall, fun time with good food. ”
“ Hands down a great overall experience. The staff is amazing. The margaritas let's just say there is no shortage of tequila. Live music!!! The Guacamole was delicious forgot to take a picture of that. I will definitely be coming back. ”
“ I went there on Monday, May 5th, 2025 for Cinco de Mayo and I had the Pollo con Mole dish which is chicken smothered in mole sauce served with white rice, refried beans, lettuce and tomatoes. Also, I had a side of fried sweet plantains without cheese and to drink, I had a passion fruit Jarritos, then a mango Jarritos and a glass of water with lemon. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was great inside. I also ordered the Tacos al Birria without cheese to go, so I can eat it at home and I was so full when I left the restaurant to return home, I had to wait from like 30 minutes to an hour to eat the Birria Tacos and when I ate the Tacos they were delicious and it even came with a side of consomme sauce to dip in and a lime wedge. I like that place so much that I might show up again in the near future. ”
“ We came here for the first time. The live mariachi music was great, even playing songs I didn't expect like radio head and Johnny cash. The food tastes very fresh and delicious. The staff were attentive and prompt. We are definitely coming back. Highly recommend. ”
