1. Charging customers who pay such high price for food and drink for your chips and salsa is offensive. When I go with my children, there are five of us and we would like two chips and salsa and that now adds $8 onto my bill. I could stop the review right here because I consider this ill business decision... More

What a comfortable place to go for an informal dinner. The food is excellent, and the service is right up there too.

Decent mexican food outweighed by difficult parking and too many kids at cetain times. If you can go at off hours, when lot is not crammed nor are the high chairs they food is good.

Everything about Boxcar Cantina is excellent!! I arranged to meet a group of family and friends there for lunch, we all ran a little late and a few in the group even later, but the staff were so accommodating and made us feel welcome. I had the best Carne Adovada Enchillada and the Super Chief Margarita is one of the... More

Very good food and margaritas but difficult the enjoy with all the children running around the small restaurant. Meal is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants but they use high quality ingredients. Eat in the bar if during dinner hour.

I thought the food was pretty good here, but there was definitely "something" missing. I found it to be pretty average.

I love this restaurant. I probably go here at least once a month. Try the bean burrito or the mini soft tacos.

If you're single or want to gather a group of couples this is the place. It's unpretentious, comfortable, loud, and the drinks are delicious. Then the food is standard Mexican but, hey, you don't go Mexican for a fine dining experience. There are too many places in Greenwich to do that. Come here to celebrate or watch others do so.
