Came here around 6 PM on a Tuesday and lucked out with their b2g1 free taco special, which was a…read morenice bonus. I ordered the chicken tacos and enjoyed them. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and served on authentic corn tortillas with the traditional onion and cilantro toppings. While this isn't my absolute favorite tacos around, I do prefer this location over Casa Villa's other Stamford restaurant. The ambiance here is much nicer, with tasteful decor and a great outdoor patio that's perfect for enjoying a meal when the weather is nice. My only real complaint was the salsa. I'm a fan of traditional salsa verde, and their creamy version just wasn't for me. Other than that, the food was good, the vibe was welcoming, and the Tuesday special made it an even better value. Overall, it's a good spot for tacos, a relaxed atmosphere, and a casual meal with friends or family. I'd def come back on Taco Tuesday!

They were out of salsa when I was here. So, I also ordered the guacamole. They had hot sauces too, but no salsa. They said their delivery hadn't come in yet. I love salsa! It's one of my favorite foods, hence the four stars. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again. I recommend checking this place out!

Olé Molé is an authentic Mexican restaurant that opened in Stamford, Connecticut in 1994. It was…read morefounded by Texas native Laura Coronado. Growing up in a Mexican heritage household, Coronado was raised on traditional made-from-scratch dishes that are commonly found in Northern and Central Mexico. Eventually she decided to open up her own restaurant at Stamford's High Ridge Shopping Center. For over 30 years, Olé Molé has been offering consumers authentic Mexican cuisine crafted with consistent quality and fresh ingredients. The menu offers traditional staples such as enchiladas, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, tacos, tamales, and tostadas. At one point, Olé Molé had additional locations in the nearby towns of Darien, Southport, and Fairfield, but they have since closed. My wife and I recently had lunch at Olé Molé. She is a Stamford native and has eaten here multiple times, but it was the first visit for me. We met up with my wife's parents. The interior is cozy and inviting. Margaritas sounded like a great way to get the fiesta started. I had the "Margarita Olé" (tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, agave), my wife had "Mango" (tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, agave, mango puree), and my mother-in-law had "Strawberry" (tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, agave, strawberry puree). They were just what the doctor ordered! We also ordered some delicious "Guacamole" (fresh Hass avocado, jalapeño, onion, garlic & cilantro w/ chips) for the table. For entrees, I had the "Quesadilla Del Mar" (grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, spinach, tomato, grilled onion, Monterey Jack), my wife had the "Grilled Shrimp Fajitas" (grilled w/ peppers & onion, served w/ guacamole), my father-in-law had the "Vegetariano Burrito" (vegetables, beans & cheese w/ salsa fresca), and my mother-in-law had the "Enchiladas Suizas" (shredded chicken, vegetables & cheese in red corn tortillas, topped w/ salsa verde & mole negro). Everything tasted so fresh, flavorful, and authentic! The staff were lovely too! I had an excellent experience at Olé Molé and I would love to enjoy their Mexican food again soon!

Generously sized and well priced, good looking tacos. I enjoyed them with one exception. In NorCal, I am used to, crispy, browned carnitas. On the east coast, it's more like just "fatty mushy pork with occasional pieces of cartilage" :P I think this place is fine as long as you're not a carnitas snob like me. I'll probably come here again and just stick to carne asada y pollo.

Review for El Torito - Stamford, CT…read more So there I was on a blazing Monday afternoon, car in the shop, stomach growling like a telenovela villain--and El Torito just happened to be down the block, calling my name like a tortilla whisperer. From the outside, it's humble. Picnic tables chillin' under the trees like they're on siesta. Step inside, and it's got that cozy, no-frills, straight-up neighborhood vibe. A handful of tables, a big ol' fan, because air conditioning? Not today. And a TV on the wall pumping out reggaetón to keep things spicy. The place had a steady stream of locals rolling in for takeout, which is always a good sign in my book. The menu? A glorious cross-cultural Latin American mixtape. Mexican, Salvadoran, maybe even some Peruvian influence--it's like taking your taste buds on a backpacking trip without the altitude sickness. Bonus points for menu photos so you don't end up accidentally ordering goat brain stew (unless that's your thing). I ordered up the carne asada and a cold Coke, then sat back and let the meat magic happen. A few scrolls into my phone, my plate arrived - and Ay Güey, it was a vision. Grilled steak, marinated to perfection, lounging on a soft bed of Mexican rice, crowned with whole grilled green onions like a steak tiara. A side of creamy pinto beans, fresh tortillas, and two salsas: one a chunky pico de gallo(well, sort of), the other a smooth firewater(mild). And let me tell you - I devoured it. That carne asada didn't stand a chance. The meat was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The rice was fluffy, the beans velvety, and everything was hot and fresh. No bite left behind. Paid at the counter with a smile on my face and carne-ful soul. El Torito isn't trying to impress you with bells and whistles--it's just bringing the heat with real-deal Latin American flavor, honest portions, and friendly vibes. Come hungry. Leave happy. Maybe a little sweaty.
