I had the Nachos Picante with beef and I left happy and full! Love how they are not stingy with the beef and bean toppings. Best nachos value in town!
Try the jarrito tamarind, pineapple, or mango drinks... Super good and refreshing, perfect on a warm summer night...
Always friendly. Fresh and helpful staff and owner. Every order I've had has been great. Well priced food for take out or dine in.
Ryan WarrenderJune 13, 2016The only spot in Stamford to get decent Mexican. The salsa bar is fire. 🔥🔥🔥
Great place, good tacos, $3 beers, Megan is awesome and they serve tacos in lettuce wraps if you ask!
Justin BrittonNovember 1, 2013Great fish tacos, prices and fabulous chips. Definitely worth it, I like it better than Bar Taco.
They have an amazing make-your-own salsa bar and the fajitas n' more burrito is the best!
Ian GeorgiannaJuly 1, 2015Food was fantastic... as was the salsa bar. The labels are pretty accurate so you've been warned if a salsa is a bit too spicy and has you crying.
Julia Lord NickleOctober 24, 2014Love all of the salsas! I just wish you didn't have to pay extra for sour cream.
fresh food, healthy options, great taste & something for everyone. super nice staff!
Leo MedinaSeptember 15, 2016Food sucks. I wanted to like it. Believe me, I tried. Meat is not good, Iced Tea taste like water, albeit grilled chicken is pretty good. This goes for all Burritos, Tacos, etc Quesadilla was salty AF- Oops, in case you were wondering that is not a picture of the Nachos :) , accidentally attached a random picture to my tip

"I liked it. Lots of options, lots of toppings, nice decor, simple price structure. Pay for the amount you actually want and they have small sample cups you can try."
