Mariposa Taqueria
Mariposa Taqueria is a vibrant Latin American restaurant in Danbury operated by the Reyes family, who previously owned the popular Mezon Tapas Bar for nine years before opening this new concept in 2020.
The restaurant serves flavor-forward Latin-inspired dishes including authentic tacos, arepas, empanadas, and specialty entrees from their "Mama's Meats" section, alongside craft cocktails and imported beers in a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.
Named after the Spanish word for butterfly to honor their mother's strength and symbolize rebirth, Mariposa focuses on Latin home cooking that reflects the brothers' Dominican heritage, offering everything from carne asada and roasted pork tacos to churros for dessert, with the goal of making every customer feel welcomed with the same open-armed generosity they experienced in their own Latin home.
