Bar Taco Stamford is an awesome spot. The food is always delicious and the drinks are fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is top notch. All of the staff is always so friendly and they make you feel at home. If you’re lucky enough to have Brittany as your bartender, you’ll be sure to have the best experience! Good vibes all around, I highly recommend this location to anyone who wants to have a good time, anytime.

Pretty good spot. The food was good and the prices were fair. The Ahi Tuna Bowl had too much sauce and was way too salty. Our waiter was pretty nice but the QR code they have you scan at your table doesnt work and the phone service is terrible. You have to scream to talk to people at your table because the music is way too loud. Also why is guac and chips $10?

From the moment I sat down, I was welcomed by an incredible bartender named Xander. He greeted me with a genuine smile and open arms, and his energy immediately lifted my spirits. Not only did he serve up...
