“This is the best Chipotle I’ve been to. The staff are so friendly and the food is always fresh. I drive 30 minutes, passed two other Chipotle’s to come here.

P.s. I’ve practically moved in during my pregnancy- my baby is going to be obsessed with chipotle now 😆“

“There are places you stumble into for convenience, and then there are places that feel like they’ve been waiting for you all along—quietly perfecting their craft while the rest of the world argues about trends and fusion nonsense. Cinco de Mayo is the latter.

You smell it before you even sit down. Not the timid, sanitized version of “Mexican food” that gets paraded around strip malls—but the real deal. Warm corn tortillas hitting a flat-top. Meat sizzling with purpose. Cilantro and onion cutting through the air like a sharp knife. There’s a faint hum of spice—cumin, maybe a whisper of chili—hanging low, like it knows it belongs there. It doesn’t beg for your attention. It earns it.

The room itself? No pretension. No curated “aesthetic” dreamed up by someone who’s never eaten standing at a street cart. It’s alive. Conversations bounce off the walls. Plates clatter. There’s an easy rhythm to it all—like everyone in the room is in on the same secret: this is what it’s supposed to feel like. You don’t come here for ambiance in the Instagram sense. You come here because it feels honest.

And then—the tacos.

Simple. Dangerous word, “simple.” Because when something is this stripped down, there’s nowhere to hide. The tortilla is soft, fresh, doing exactly what it needs to do—nothing more, nothing less. The meat? Tender, deeply seasoned, the kind of flavor that doesn’t shout but lingers. You get that first bite and suddenly you’re not in Connecticut anymore—you’re somewhere louder, warmer, more alive. A squeeze of lime, maybe a hit of salsa if you’re feeling bold, and that’s it. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just balance.

You eat one, then another, then you stop counting because counting feels beside the point.

Five stars? Sure. But that doesn’t quite capture it. This isn’t about stars. It’s about walking in hungry and leaving with something that feels a little closer to satisfaction—real satisfaction, the kind that doesn’t need explaining“

“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.“

“Last time I was in this building, it was Johns Diner; 30 years ago. The food was very good & tasty; portions were generous. The menus has quite a large and varied selection. The service was excellent. The owner who served us was very friendly. Parking was easy. Definitely coming back to try different things on the menu. Great meal!!“

“Masa Taco Bar is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is lively, modern, and welcoming—perfect for a casual meal or a night out with friends.

The food is incredible, with tacos that are packed with flavor and made using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each option is creative and delicious, and the menu offers plenty of variety to keep things exciting. Everything is beautifully presented and incredibly satisfying.

The drinks are just as impressive, especially the margaritas and cocktails that perfectly complement the food and add to the overall experience.

The service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to make sure you have a great time.

Masa Taco Bar delivers amazing food, great drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Pizza's great, classic thin slice with a crunchy crust and melty cheese. Great to snack on while I waited for my birria to come out. Also while waiting (maybe 15 minutes from order to door) I saw the birria ramen come out to another party and knew I'd have to come back to try it.“

“Excellent service and amazing customer service and customer care“

“Wonderful menu and staff!“

“We recently visited this place after hearing rave reviews from local bloggers. We were thoroughly impressed. The quesadillas, especially the pulled pork one, were delicious. The presentation and portion sizes were also impressive. We also enjoyed the queso fundido. The quality of the food was exceptional. It was refreshing to dine at a restaurant where the food was not frozen or from a jar. We highly recommend this place. Our waitress, Trish, was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.“

“Great atmosphere with outdoor seating. On a busy road but the spot is very quiet. Service is great, if you’re eating there you also get chips and a very delicious sauce. If you’re going to any of the parks in northern Stamford and want to grab a quick sandwich this is the perfect spot, high quality and great value on the food.“

“BEST CHICKEN QUESADILLA IN NORWALK! I’ve been eating here for years. Perfect portions, enough to share, and fair pricing. Food and price better than most restaurants. It is a good truck and they provide some seating during the warmer seasons.“

“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.“

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

Their food is always top notch and they give great portion sizes. Prices are also more reasonable than other spots so this is definitely my go to spot! ☺️“

“The chicken tacos are awesome. My family came and we tried each other’s food and everything was serious amazing I was shocked. The salsa is the best wow. This was a nice small corner in the wall in my opinion but very fancy place for sure!“

“Our favorite restaurant, we go there every week or so!“

“My husband and I eat from there often, we have been served by the owner who’s so nice and provides amazing service. But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

“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.“

“that one star must be from a competitor. I went in and got chicken with rice and beans and it was delicious. the service was fast and great and the employees were very nice. I left them a generous tip. I would say this restaurant is a top 5 in taste in my book. 5/5“
