Tara DîanaJuly 19, 2015Bring a friend, and get a tray! Highly recommend the bison taco, and the tamales!! The sides were just ok, but maybe we didn't pick the right ones. Drinks were on point.

Erik CintronJanuary 19, 2017A fun idea tacos for grown ups. Little small for the price but the atmosphere is the best. Great mix drinks. Crowd is trendy stays open late and the music turns up. Hang by the bar or reserve a tableUpvote5Downvote
Alexa Jane BrooksOctober 20, 2015Best taco place in Stamford! Get 2 or 3 tacos per person, definitely try the portobello taco, and maybe the house margarita if you're feeling awesome.

David LynchMarch 7, 2015The prices are quite reasonable & they have the most creative tacos in Stamford. The Baja fish, wild boar, duck and sesame ribeye tacos are out of this world & the mushroom tamale is out a sight.Upvote1Downvote
Darshy NJuly 15, 2015Can't go wrong with their tacos and sauces that accompany them. Get wild and get the curried shrimp, grilled oyster, duck and wild boar are always my faves!UpvoteDownvote
Stephen HJanuary 24, 2012High energy and boisterous taquería with a cool beach theme. The best values are the small & large trays which feature a chef's choice of tacos, sides, & tamales. No reservations & very busy weekends.Upvote1Downvote
Kristin DaltonApril 16, 2016Margaritas are a hit, as are the baja fish tacos, chopped salad and guacamole. Try the key lime pie in a jar for dessert - so refreshing!UpvoteDownvote
Gregory S. CidJuly 4, 2017Fun time . Good food. Check what you want and they serve you. It is loud , and that kind of atmosphere is continuous

Nataneh SchechterApril 6, 2012The chicken Tamale, the unbelievable corn and the phenomenal cilantro mayo that you smother on the gorditas and portobello taco. If you havent been. you need to. ole ct.Upvote2Downvote- David LynchAugust 16, 2013If you want one of their excellent mixed drinks, go before it gets crowded. The bartenders are more attentive to making quality drinks when the ratio of customers to bartenders is closer.UpvoteDownvote

Good place to have a taco in Stamford! Baja fish taco is great; crispy fried!! Pork belly and duck tacos are also good!UpvoteDownvote
Even though the ordering process consists of you filling in a piece of paper with your order, they somehow manage to get something wrong every time. Everything is excellent though, so this is still OKUpvoteDownvote

KaitlynFebruary 6, 2016The margs are fresh and top shelf, the tacos can't be beat and, of course, gauc!UpvoteDownvote
Ribeye rice bowl is the business. Go easy on the cilantro. Wash it all down with a margarita.UpvoteDownvote
