“Found this restaurant by accident on Friday and we love it! In fact, we went back Saturday for Churros and Sunday for dinner again. On Friday we had their Street Tacos and today we had their Tako Bowls! This may be a small place, but their flavors are not!! Amazing food and great portions! The entire staff from front and back of house are very friendly. So glad we found them and looking forward to going back! We HIGHLY recommend them!“

“I recently discovered this gem of a place close to home. The space is cozy and peaceful, and the staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding in every way—from the vibrant presentation and colors to the rich flavors and generous portions. Given the quality and size of the meals, the prices are fantastic. I tried the carnitas plate and the birria tacos, and both were delicious. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great food and a relaxed spot away from the noisy, busy streets of Stamford!“

“I had a great experience here on Valentine's Day! I didn't make reservations but only waited 10-20 minutes as a walk in. The service was exceptional. The food was delish. Tostado de mariscos was the highlight of the night. Great drinks. Love the ambiance.“

“Randomly stumbled on this place because my dryer broke. Had to do a few loads and this place is right next door to the laundry mat. Probably some of the tastiest Mexican food I’ve ever had, and most authentic. The price cannot be beat. I go there and try random things all the time, today I want to try the Chilaquiles. Next time, I wanna try the Pozole Verde. He also informed that they serve tamales on Saturdays and Sundays. I loveeeeeeee this place and recommend to anybody.“

“Really loved it. Plenty of vegetarian options + full mocktail menu (don’t eat meat or drink alcohol) and there were so many options to still feel included. Food was delicious and came out lightning fast. Everything seemed reasonably priced. Our servers were sweet and nice.

Loved the mango mule, mushroom tacos, esquites, maduros, and guac. Definitely want to come back!“

“Wonderful menu and staff!“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“Feeling like home!
I went for dinner at Piccolo Cantina Bay with a friend! We felt like home. The food is delicious and the margaritas 🍹 are simply the best!
Generous portions, great and attentive service, fair prices!
I'm definitely going back to create more memories at Piccolo Cantina Bay! ❤
Thank You So Much! See You All Soon!“

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10“

“I first saw the prices and thought it was a little much, but completely worth it. The torta and nachos were huge and delicious and the service was also great. $45 had me and girlfriend rlly full with plenty of leftovers. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

“Tacos 10/10. And fast service too!

My husband and I waited 40+ mins at another local restaurant for tacos and decided to close the tab and leave because we were that hungry. Within 10 minutes of ordering at taqueria garibaldi, we got our tacos.

We got carnitas, birria, chorizo and carne asada tacos.
All extreme juicy and delicious. Way more Mexican authentic than the other place.

At first $6 seems like a lot for 1 taco, however they come meat heavy and for that flavor…we will go again.

Service was great too, great music and atmosphere.“

“The food here is so fresh and tasty! I had 2 tacos, one chicken, one carne asada made with corn tortillas. Delicious! The guacamole and chips were great also. My kids who are very picky loved the chicken quesadilla. Would definitely come back again.“

“I had the pleasure of going there last night for first time and I highly recommend it...Amazing food, fresh ingredients, nice sized portions and the owner/staff are friendly, attentive and accommodating...The best, authentic Mexican cuisine food I’ve had ever and so reasonably priced...👍“

“2nd time to this place - ofc one is bc i liked the tacos and two I want to take pics this time and write them a review so more people can see it and come give it a try. Def love the birria tacos, fresh and tasty. Portion is big for me but nothing I need to complain about. The soup is just perfect for dipping. One little advice - add some homemade chili sauce or deep fried peppers to add some extra spicy for those who love spice. Will def come again.“

“Comida súper buena , les recomiendo que compren los tacos de birria , son tan deliciosos , y dan un buen de carne en las tortillas !!!!!“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“The food is awesome. Always look forward to eating there.“

“Best chicken burrito EVER! The cheese is melted on the outside of the tortilla and is absolutely amazing! And the price is very fair! I can't wait to go back!“

“I did carry out today, Enchiladas with sour cream and mole, refried beans and rice. It was delicious and authentic. It has been a long time since I had Mexican food that was real Mexican and not some Americanized wanna be.“

“Guac Time Stamford truly exceeded my expectations with their chicken birria tacos and bowl. The flavors were outstanding and the quality of the food was top-notch. This is by far the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine in the area.“
