    Bar
    Jonathan V.

    Had an amazing experience at Bar Taco! Brad was incredible--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything exceeded my expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, great atmosphere, and great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed it so much that I'll be coming back tomorrow. Highly recommend!

    Esquites and Black Beans with Sofrito
    Xenia M.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recently enjoyed outdoor dining at this establishment and had such a lovely experience unlike a lot of the reviews here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some of the standouts for us included the pork belly tacos, and the churros. Very easy, ordering process and delicious food. My only wish is that the portions were larger. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly and food was tasty so I'll definitely be back this summer to continue enjoying the lovely outdoor space and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pistachio cauliflower taco and chili lime shrimp taco with an agua Fresca in the back
    Kat Y.

    The food was excellent. I had the chips with verde, Roja, and guacamole. I had the cauliflower taco which was delightful, the chili lime shrimp was a bit overcooked, the shrimp was chewy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was traveling for work, so I sat by myself at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I noticed the bartender asked me for a card to open my tab, but he did not ask the other patrons. I thought that was a bit odd. The bartender was definitely very busy and could have used a bit more help. Overall, it was a good experience, I will be back when I travel for work.

    Delicious cocktail.

    Was visiting Stamford and stopped by for a drink while waiting for some friends. The cocktail was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]service and location of the restaurant are excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Didn't try their food at this location but it's usually delicious.

    Dishes are hit or miss. Some things well-seasoned and others - like their Asian fusion attempts - are not great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly the hype of the place always works against bartaco in my opinion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It didn't help that service was inconsistent. They tell you about their put up the card system for service but then don't actually follow it. Takes a while to get someone's attention and get a drink. Maybe will give bartaco a try again but not anytime soon.

    Ceviche
    Jenny S.

    I tried the lobster street corn (seasonal) pretty good, ceviche was spicy for me, guac was good. Also tried the Oaxaca cheese sticks and they tasted like mozz cheese sticks so they were just ok. Overall good Mexican food with authentic spices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I visited on a Saturday evening and like most restaurants on summer street music was kind of loud but good ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Guava margarita and lime margarita
    Denise G.

    We came on a Friday night and were told it was a 20 min wait for a table, which was no problem. Unfortunately, it took over an hour for a table to open up. Luckily, we got some seats at the bar in the meantime when they cleared up. The drinks were flavorful and had a kick. I loved the guava margarita. We ordered our food as soon as we got a table and waited about 10 minutes for the apps to come out and a half hour for main courses to come out. The vibe is loud and trendy.

    Came here for dinner and had a pleasant experience. You order via QR code rather through a waiter which I thought was interesting. I would recommend 3-4 tacos per person as you probably can get 2-3 bites out of each taco. The food itself was decent with some good flavors. A little light on the meat though. The service was overall decent. The only qualm I had was I didn't get one of the tacos I ordered and asked for a refill on chips and it took forever to get despite asking multiple times (the place wasn't that busy). The place is nice and modern with decent amount of seating. Other than that, it was positive. Would return.

    Been here a few times and had delivery to my job in Stamford hospital over the past few years. Most recently came with some coworkers for drinks after work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm happy the construction is finally over and the strip outside for outside dinning looks great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place never disappoints.

    Tacos : Shrimp, chicken, pork belly, & spiced chicken.
    Tiffany R.

    The food was full of flavor, and the service was great. The only surprise was the appetizer portion--it was much smaller than expected, even smaller than a typical kid's side. Had we known, we probably would've just gone with the tacos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, the ambiance was fantastic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place filled up quickly, which speaks to its popularity![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Awesome spot for happy hour and late night happy hour in Stamford. Drinks are made with fresh squeezed juice and there are a lot of small bite options. The staff especially David provide the best hospitality.

    Manhattan drink without the cherries
    Wenzler B.

    Man if you want a place to kick back and let your hair down and good vibes this is it! Great food small portions but worth your time. It's my new nightlife eatery. The DJ was pumping great music and such a great diversity of sounds that everyone vibes to!

    Delicious pork belly
    Loretta M.

    This place never disappoints. I wish I had one in my town. I always have the Chorizo and pork belly tacos. The pork belly had such a beautiful crisp. The chorizo was juicy and flavorful. I also had a nice mojito, Mexican corn and pineapple. It was a girl's perfect night

    Nice atmosphere...the way you order is a little weird. The rice and beans was good. I didn't like the taste of the tacos seasoning though.

    Outdoor seating? For me, my best gal and my dog?

    The do not offer outdoor seating

    Is there happy hour?

    Hey Annie unfortunately we do not have a happy hour at the moment. We do have margarita March going as we speak where we feature a different margarita each week during the entire month of march. One of my favorites started today, the verde cooler :))

Popular menu items include birria tacos, octopus, shrimp ceviche, and steak chimichurri. My daughter and I visited here for her birthday, and we both love Latin cuisine. As we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats immediately. It was a chilly day, and the restaurant felt cold inside as well. The staff tried to warm things up with space heaters, but they didn't quite do the trick. We ordered empanadas, birria tacos, hanger steak, and sweet plantains with crema and queso fresco. When the dishes arrived, they were lukewarm--a bit disappointing, considering how cold it was outside. The birria tacos were delicious, though again, they could have been hotter. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, but I would have liked it a bit crisper. The hanger steak was tender, and the Pico de Gallo was bursting with flavor, pairing perfectly with the steak. It was nicely seasoned and had a good-sized portion. The empanadas were tasty, with flavorful and plentiful meat. The plantains were extremely delicious. The crema and queso fresco helped bring the whole dish together beautifully. The customer service was friendly, but the food could have been hotter; still, the flavors and seasonings were spot-on.
