The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was pretty good. That being said, the acoustics of the building are horrible. The walls are all painted cinderblocks with nothing to absorb sound so it gets insanely loud in here. If they would put up some sound dampening panels they would have a very lovely atmosphere here. 100% recommend you stop in if you are in the area and in the mood for Mexican food.

Marinated Grilled Steak and Shrimp
$12.56 for quacamole and chips and the serving bowl wasn't half full...tastes great but meager portion far below that price point.

Great little Mexican restaurant, staff is fun to deal with. My buddy and I eat here when we pass through and grab a margarita and nachos… never disappointed!
We were in the area on business trip. Found this restaurant and decided to try out. Food was good and great customer service. Wish they didn’t charge $6.50 for side of chips.
The food here was delicious and the service was among the best I’ve ever had. Only not five stars because of the atmosphere. Very loud with no privacy whatsoever. I suggest changing from tables to booths.

Chips
My enchiladas were good, but a little small for the price. My coworker's streak burrito was huge! He thoroughly enjoyed it and took some home. The order of chips and salsa wasn't worth the price but tasted good. First time to have flour tortilla chips instead of corn.

Chips
Canned cheese for what they call queso. Their chips were soft and made from flour tortillas. Chicken strips way over cooked. Not impressed at all. Had to get waiter since he just dropped off food & left without asking if we needed anything. Poor service poor food. See pics!
They have a sign stating they charge extra for using a credit card.
This is a poor business decision since most people use credit cards. Prices should be calculated expecting this.
Rather they should offer a cash discount.
I didn't try the food because of this.
La Familia Prado is the best of the best for Mexican restaurant in Torrington (and there are several I've tried) and feels like family. When you get there, don't be surprised if there are a few kids working in the restaurant. It's a family business after all. The service is outstanding and attentive and of course, very friendly. Every bit of the food tastes like it's made from scratch-- nothing seems like it's from a can around here. Not only that, everything just tastes healthy, light, just right. The menu is extensive. The restaurant is clean and smells great. Apparently, it's quite a popular place in Torrington although I was visiting from Washington, DC. I can't more highly recommend La Familia Prado. Well done!
