Today, there is a large Latino, Asian, and Italian influence within Bridgeport’s barriers, and a dining scene to match. We list the best spots here.
This Mexican gem is located at the northwest corner of 31st and Union. The main floor of Pancho’s Pistolas is tiny, but they have a second floor for larger parties. While they serve almost everything imaginable for its customers, there is no question that their nachos with skirt steak recipe is the true winner.
