Two Paths. One Door.
A Legendary Taste.

For decades, Southington residents knew exactly where to go for Mexican cuisine or classic Italian comfort food. El Sombrero brought the vibrant flavors of Mexico to Connecticut with its legendary tacos, sizzling fajitas. Just across town, Renaldo's served up the kind of Italian cooking that made you feel like family the moment you walked through the door, from delicious pizzas to rich, comforting pasta dishes.

In 2025, these two beloved institutions were combined to create something extraordinary. 3C's Tavern honors both legacies while forging a new path forward, bringing together the best of Italian and Mexican cuisines under one roof at the historic 75 Center Street location. Our kitchen team carries forward the time-tested recipes that made both restaurants legendary, ensuring that every dish delivers the flavors our community has loved for years.

But 3C's Tavern is more than just a restaurant; it's a gathering place for the Southington community. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, celebrating a special occasion with family, you'll find a warm welcome and exceptional food waiting for you.
