Reply to comment by memsies in Mexican neighborhoods in New Haven? by messerdouglas

Yeah I'm not expecting much in terms of quality of Mexican food but hoping there are at least some Mexican markets so she can get some ingredients she needs for food at home.

How does your bf like the area overall?

This is def OP best bet. The food trucks along 95 can be a fun way to spend a nice day

There are lots of markets! I've found they're great for spices and non-perishables, but sometimes the produce can be more difficult to find. There are some panaderias around too. It is really easy to get on the train to NYC, so you guys will have access to good Mexican food, but it just won't be as close as you are used to.

My bf really likes the area. There's stuff he misses about home, and things he really prefers here, such as all of the green trees! There are also a surprising number of people living here from California. He is a graduate student, so we live in an area called East Rock, which is where most of the grad students live. It's a ~5-10 min drive to Fair Haven area

This is helpful, thanks! I've visited there with my wife and the greenery is definitely something she likes out there. It's so dry in CA but that's what she grew up with.
