    This was my second time coming to this place the first time I ordered takeout and this time I ate at the restaurant. This place is really good but a little pricey. They have amazing nachos if you're in the mood for that it is definitely a great choice but their tacos are a little bit soggy. The service is super fast and easy it's more, so where are you pay at the register and then you get a number and see yourself but you are still serve your food and water so it's a nice dining experience The restaurant itself is super trendy in modern. It's very cute and classy inside and outside.

    Guacamole, carnitas taco, shrimp taco, and the house marg

    Great food, great drink, great service, great atmosphere! First time checking this place out during a visit to family in Darien, but will definitely return when I'm back in town

    Very cute restaurant that is super hard to find off the post Rd in darien. It is nestled inside of a shopping plaza with zero road visability. We had the wings to start off with. They weren't very crispy but had nice flavor and were not soggy at all which sometimes happens when you order take out. I had the chef's plate which include red rice, beans, gauc and salad, the food was very good and had lots of flavor however for the price the portion was extremely small. My coworker had three tacos : short rib - had lots of flavor a good amount of kick and very tender meat Crispy fish taco - very nice portion of fish and good flavor and the carne asada taco which had very tender meat and good flavor We will Be back just need to remember how to find them They do offer take out Have ample parking as it is in a big shopping plaza They do take credit card

    All around excellence. Definitely not just another taco place, these tacos are both creative and simple whilst brining loads of flavor. For example, the Chorizo con Papa tacos are made with sausage and potato, with just the right amount of spice. The short ribs are delicious with onions and cilantro. Chicken Tinga tacos are outstanding as well. I'm fortunate to work about a 1/2 mile away and get a chance to eat lunch here often. The only thing I would say is ask them what comes on the taco before ordering as sometimes they add things that are not listed on menu.

    I really enjoyed having lunch at this place. Essentially you walk in and place your order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a full bar. I ordered a pork belly taco which was very flavorful. I loved it, the only thing which would have made it better if it had some pieces of the crackling skin. I also had the carne Asada quesadillas which were delicious. My son had the burrito which he really enjoyed. I will definitely visit this place to try other items on the menu.

    What a great new fast-casual tacos-and-more eaterie! Complete mix of apps, tacos and other dishes, plus full bar and deserts Vegan options! But my porky tacos (served on blue corn tortillas) were delish. Hot sauces not hot enough but, hey, it's Darien. Prices are reasonable and service is fast. We'll be back. Try this early before the "word" gets out and the crowds descend on this hip, family friendly spot. Tons of free parking

    We've gone to the Greenwich location and found it to be very good and are super happy they are now in Darien! I can vouch positively for their takeout - if you don't see it on their menu they can substitute (hubby wanted short rib quesadillas and they happily accommodated). Guac was a bit bland but for literally the same cost as Chipotle's large Guac and chips well worth the price for quality. The standout for me are the fried fish and shrimp tacos - a nice crispy piece of fish with great accoutrements and two fairly large shrimp in each taco. It's pricey... but a great new option in town. We'll be back!

    I recently moved to Norwalk and have been waiting for La Taqueria to open closer to my home since the Greenwich location is little too far... The new restaurant is located walking distance from the train station in Darien Ct. I have to say I'm very impressed with the new place it's bigger and more spacious. I ordered a Paloma, without a doubt the best one I have ever had... amazing!! I had a shrimp and pork belly tacos. My husband had a watermelon margarita, chicken wings and a short rib taco. We also ordered guacamole and chips. For dessert we had tres leches. Everything was peeeeeerfect. I can not wait to come back again. All the employees are super nice and super friendly. This is by far the best Mexican food around I highly recommend it to everyone

    Cinco De Mayo is a small, family-operated restaurant that offers authentic Mexican cuisine. My…read morecoworker recommended this location, mentioning that the Chorizo Tacos were her favorite, so I decided to visit. The establishment is located at the corner of the street, and parking may be limited due to its placement on a one-way street. Fortunately, I was able to find parking nearby. Since this is in Stamford's downtown area, please be prepared for potential parking challenges. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted and asked whether I preferred to dine in or take out. I chose to dine in to experience the ambiance fully. I was informed that I could sit anywhere, and I placed my order: chorizo, Birria, steak, Al Pastor with pineapple, and pork carnitas tacos. My order was served in approximately fifteen minutes. The Chorizo taco was very flavorful and enjoyable, and I agree with my coworker that it was excellent. The Al Pastor taco with pineapple was good, though I found the pineapple flavor could be a bit more pronounced, and I personally would prefer less fat on the meat. The steak taco was tasty but a little dry; the meat was well-cooked and flavorful, but it lacked moisture. The Birria taco was acceptable, with each establishment offering its own unique take; this one used a soft tortilla, whereas I typically enjoy mine with a crunch and served with consommé broth. It was satisfactory but slightly on the dry side. The pork carnitas taco was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, if I return, I would especially recommend the Chorizo tacos, as they stood out to me. The customer service was courteous and attentive, and I appreciate supporting small, family-operated businesses. I would be happy to visit again.

For starters we had the tostones frida then for entrees we had the lamb chops, chimichurri steak, and fried ice cream for dessert. Everything was flavorful and cooked just right. Our waitress was amazing. She was attentive and available even when it started to get packed. The vibe of the place felt a little more upscale, which we loved. One thing to note is that they do have a dress code, so just keep that in mind before going. It definitely adds to the overall atmosphere though. Overall, a really nice spot for a night out, good food, great ambiance, and worth checking out!

    Such a beautiful spot with so much potential however the service is TERRIBLE, the food is mediocre…read moreand the drinks are over priced. I dined at Casa Kahlo last year, a few weeks after they opened. The service was so bad, I didn't leave a review as I chalked it up to them still working out the kinks. 8 months later I decided to give them another try and it's safe to say I will not be returning. The hostess was lovely and very helpful, the waiter was friendly and tried his best. It was Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was pretty busy but not packed. Our drinks took forever to come and arrived in plastic dollar store cups, we had to ask for water 3x. The guacamole was good but lacked spice even though we ordered extra spicy. The kids steak was undercooked , we asked if they can cook it to a medium well temperature and it came back burnt! The ropa vieja was good, a large portion of meat served with a kids size bowl of rice and beans. The churros portion is small, the menu said it was served with ice cream but it just came with whipped cream and 1 caramel filled churro cut into 3 pieces. After dinner we moved to an outdoor table and ordered another round of drinks which also took an unreasonable amount of time and they forgot one of our drinks. 20% gratuity and a credit card fee automatically added to the bill.
