We decided to eat here for New Year's since it was one of the few places open, and it didn't disappoint! I'm not usually a salad person, but this one was amazing--the dressing was packed with flavor, and the crunch was perfect. I also tried the shrimp burrito, which was pretty good. My only complaint is that it was a bit too saucy on top, making it hard to eat with my hands. Still, I'd recommend giving this place a try. The service was quick, and the location is beautiful. If you visit during the summer, definitely dine outside to enjoy the stunning harbor view!

Cute spot right on the harbor Outdoor seating and nice views of the water and boats. Small menu but tasteful and a nice drink selection. Sean was so helpful and kind to our party!

The food was good, nothing extra ordinary but the VIBES were incredible. They did run out of some of the popular items by the time we got there (6pm ish). Definitely a nice place to hangout to enjoy the sunset . The service was good as well.

I had the (STACKED ENCHILADAS: SMOKY CHICKEN) And I put it in all caps because that dish is great. I've never had enchiladas like this before. They have a smoky brisket one and I can't even get to that menu item or any other item because I'm stuck on this one. I always want to try the jambalaya burrito. I live in Harlem and my GF is currently in Stamford so I'm glad we found this place. Need to see if they have another location but if not this is worth the trip!

This place was great. I don't know what they put in their water, but it was so good. Food was also super good! And service was great. I went here for lunch and the ambiance was nice, especially with the view of the water. The bar also looked nice and I'm sure this is a great spot to grab drinks on a weekend night!

(Dirty cups and hair in food) The ambiance in the location is okay if you sit outside. There was about a 30 minute wait before we got seated. We were told we'd be called once a table was freed up for my party of five but we had to go back in and ask about seating when we waited and waited and nobody called. After being seated, they brought out water and we quickly noticed that there was a lipstick stain on one of the cups nobody at my party had touched yet. After I informed the server about the lipstick stained cup, a food runner approached us and asked us if we wanted free nachos which we accepted. The nachos were kind of mid. However, we ate a majority of them because we waited quite some time for the food which was no big deal. We just found it rather odd that things like napkins and cutlery weren't brought out until about 30 minutes later...I think it should be brought out with appetizers. Someone from my party ordered a sangria, which she didn't drink because it tasted pretty watered down which was a bit disappointing. At least we didn't get charged for it. After we got our food (which wasn't anything special or even flavorful) I began to write this review, and as I started typing, someone in my party discovered a straight hair entangled in the food... the straight hair is relevant because everyone at my party has curly hair, it was clear it wasn't one of ours. I was willing to write a better review even with the lipstick marks on the cup and wait time, but the hair and lack of flavor in the food unfortunately guarantees that I will not be visiting this establishment again, and will never recommend anyone visit this location.

One thing I liked about the place when I googled it, a waterfront restaurant! You can't go wrong to be here. You got the best view of the harbor. It has wonderful food and drinks options on their menu. Loved the ambiance. Great music and vibes. The staff is very friendly. They are not limiting your stay nor pressuring you to order more. We enjoyed our meal and our stay.

Aside from this place being so damn loud, my group of 3 enjoyed our dinner here. I seriously don't understand why everywhere in harbor point blasts their music so you have to actually yell to hear people that are sitting at the same table as you. Like I'm not a grandma either and I actually want to catch up with my friends. I ordered the birria platter and it did not disappoint ! Chips and guacamole were good. Service was slow and it wasn't even that busy. Nice view of the docks. Overall, I probably won't be back anytime soon.

Came here while on a little staycation in Stamford with my mom. It was Friday night, absolutely gorgeous weather and we had no reservation. Luckily at 6 pm the place wasn't too busy and the wonderful host was able to sit us outside. We got a classic margarita, it was happy hour so they were 8! Thought they were really good, not too much sour mix so I was ably to enjoy it on such a hot day. For food, we ordered a charred jalapeño guacamole. We were nervous it was going to be too spicy but it wasn't hot at all. It was actually one of the best guac's I've had out in awhile. I'll be visiting one of their NYC locations to go get it again in no time. I also ordered a pulled pork grilled taco and a crispy fish taco. I was more of a fan of the corn taco instead of the flour (the grilled taco was flour). The pulled pork was amazing! The sauce was tangy and a little Smokey. Probably the highlight of my meal. The crispy fish taco was also very good, everything worked very well on the taco for the perfect bite.

I'm going to be honest if I could never go to this place again I would probably be extremely happy with that situation. A co-worker suggested going here because there was a certain ambience. The place is a hyper-inflated cesspool of fake Mexican food overpriced weak drinks and a place where you take your bourgeoisie Bumble date in hopes of getting in her pants. Even the furniture you sit on to eat is literally out of a garbage dump. The food is tasteless and inauthentic. Save your money go to Taco Bell. And the service is atrocious absent-minded people just ignoring you. Top it all off they actually serve me water with a fly in it. The insect probably tasted better than the food. read more

I just moved to the area and had some friends visiting so we wanted to go out to dinner. It was a Saturday night and I was tempted to make reservation, but didn't end up doing so which was fine because we were immediately seated upon entering. There were people around but it was not as busy for a Saturday as I had expected. The menu has unique choices with Mexican/American twist. I got the montauk margarita which was really delicious. The cornbread appetizer was delicious and very flavorful. I really liked the street corn appetizer as well. The guacamole was ok, but nothing special. For food I ordered a quesaritto and Nashville hot taco. I found the prices for these items to be pretty high for the portion size, but I did enjoy the option to pick and choose my meal so I can try what I want The food came out in a timely manner and was flavorful. Staff was friendly, including the GM who came by to ensure everything was alright. Prices were a little too much for my liking but not bad if you go every once in a while. Well decorated restaurant in a fun area! read more

Went here the other night for the first time. Very cute place for a date night. Had the monitor which was good but was missing the sugar cane stick and served in a short drink glass with big slices of lime. It didn't really taste like a mojito but it did the trick! I had the spicy kale salad bowl for my entree and it was very healthy tasting. I didn't realize I was should've added meat! My date had the pulled pork bowl which I tasted and it was better than mine! The service was excellent and the waiter was very accommodating. I definitely would come back to try more stuff on the menu. Will be a nice place to go to when the weather is warm and you can sit outside with the view of the harbor. read more

Very cringe. I was also served gross freezer burned vanilla ice cream with my brownie. Their avocado tacos used to have amazing batter fried avocado. No longer. Now it's just raw slices.

This is a solid four-star establishment. The food is very good but the drinks are just AMAZING. Actually, it is the cocktails that keep me coming back. The food can be hit and miss, and it is hard to get the attention of your server to order additional tacos. I mean, who eats just three tacos? Love the guacamole though. This definitely isn't authentic Mexican food, but is a nice taco spot. A little pricey. The outdoor space is lovely on a summer day. Like your mom always said, bring a jacket.

If you haven't been to this harbor front eatery, it's a must go for fantastic Mexican flare, great ambiance and friendly staff! We tried Mexicue many years ago, and found it so-so, but recently had the chance for a second go around, and well worth the re-do. We recently held my husband's birthday party here, and worked closely with James in the planning stages; we found him easy going and helpful in menu selections, seating and timing for our 14 guests. The day of, the staff was ready for us and the presentation and food itself was excellent, starting with the garden guacamole and pitchers of margaritas and sangrias, all well proportioned with fresh delicious ingredients. The mains were a variety of tacos with excellently prepared brisket, shrimp and chicken selections, each had fresh and unique accompaniments and artistically presented. They wowed us, and our guests raved about the selections, deliciousness and overall service and attention to our party. The topper was the staff graciously cut and served table side the outside bakery cake, including adding candles and singing traditional happy birthday, all without any additional charge to our quite reasonable tab. We opted for dinner there last night, just 2 of us, and were once again, delighted with our date night at Mexicue. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Tacos & Tequila... Mexican Barbecue... killer margaritas... It all started with a passion for real, made-from-scratch cooking in a food truck that traversed Manhattan and Brooklyn, embracing the vibrant culture of the city. From concert fans to festival goers, day-trippers to lunch-breakers - we fed them all, body and soul. Today, Mexicue has evolved into a restaurant - and lively bar scene - that does things a little differently than the other guys. A little more boldly. And with a lot more flavor and fun. We smoke, grill, braise, char, pickle, juice, mash, grind and create - in a way that stays true to the Mexican tradition. All with a twist of the American South. We believe in authentic, down-home cooking techniques. Nothing fancy about it. Just good music. Strong, quality drinks. Shareable, mouth-watering food. That's all the ingredients you need for the perfect neighborhood escape. Created for making memories and kicking back. The ultimate place to unwind and dine - or have a full out party.

History

Established in 2010.

From humble food truck to brick and mortar, Mexicue now welcomes diners at three New York City locations, with Stamford, CT coming in Summer 2017.

Meet the Manager: James R.

Thomas Kelly founded the Mexicue food truck back in 2010, with simple taco and slider offerings. Seven years later, he is still involved in every single step of the company's operations and brand.

Nobody came around for refill the rest of the meal We each ordered an appetizer and a main, both of our mains featuring 2sunny side up. 15 -20 minutes later BOTH entrees and my appetizer arrive WTF? After that our server just seemed to disappear. My daughter had hangar steak & eggs. I had the pork carnitas and eggs. Both our order's eggs were ordered sunny side up. Typically it's the yolks that are runny but both of our orders had runny whites as well. All this time we waited on the other appetizer to arrive. For a place that was not very busy the service was galactically awful. The food was passable but not great. The banana bread appetizer arrived as the busboy came to take our entree dishes. And that was after 2 reminders to our waiter (both appetizers were taken to go). Whoever is running this place (nobody game by asking how our meal was) should be embarrassed. When i spoke with our waiter about the abysmal service he passed it off on the busboy! There is no sense of teamwork nor pride in doing a good job. Sad.

We were kindly…read moregreeted and although there were not anymore seats at the bar (where happy hour takes place), the manager was so kind enough to still honor us with the happy hour selection from a table instead. By the time we were ready to start ordering, a few seats opened up and our sweet waiter took care of cleaning the area first before we switched over to the bar. The overall ambiance of this restaurant was family friendly with a holiday feel. We ordered cocktails, which were delicious! Our appetizers (sticky wings = 10/10, omg the sauce!; shrimp bao buns, and some meatballs) kept us more than full enough that we decided to hold off on ordering anything else for the evening. Before we left, our original waiter asked how everything was and some of the exciting things that take place at this restaurant. I'm very big on customer service and I really appreciated how attentive, accommodating, and genuine everyone was throughout the night, even with there being so much people there. I will definitely come back again!

Got there early ahead of our reservation to get drinks at the bar. I ordered a dirty vodka martini and my husband got a gin martini. They got the order wrong and gave us both dirty martinis. I was briefly excited by them asking if I wanted blue cheese olives but even those were dry since you can see them on the bar pre-skewered, sitting in a container, not in brine. We finished our drinks and then moved to a table. We were not given water when seated. Placed an order for another round of drinks then (smartly) made the decision to order a mix of apps first before our entrees. Placed an order for another round of drinks, got the gnocchi, dumplings & wings. Food hit our table before our drinks arrived and we had to ask for water. Now onto the actual food - sadly, nothing good to say about it: - Sticky Gochujang Wings: well fried wing but WAY too much vinegar in the sauce not at all a Gochujang flavor - Sweet Chili Dumplings: Panda Express sauce a cloyingly sweet. Would expect more from a place like this. Also the filling of the dumpling tasted like it had curry seasoning? Curry + sweet chili are not flavors that mix - at least not in this dish. - Gnocchi: The sauce was broken/so grainy and gritty and the gnocchi itself SO DENSE. After this bad show, it was a no-brainer that we were gonna take our night and appetites elsewhere. So disappointing. Feels like they have a lot of service issues. Staff felt new even though they've been open for a year or so now. Unless some big changes happen, I have no interest in coming back.

Pros----- *Food is good *Staff is funny, professional and attentive *Drinks are plentiful *Service *Atmosphere/Decoration Cons----- *WAIT TIMES *WAIT TIMESSSS *WAITTT TIMESSSSSS OMGGGG *Food might not be worth the wait depending on patience & preference *Maybe a tiny bit too loud? (But it was a Saturday night so) Experience----- Heard some mixed reviews about this place so I invited some friends from the city to come hangout around Harbor Point, my girlfriend lives right by the area and told us that this place opened up, I'm a fan of Mexican food so i thought inviting some friends for a Saturday night would be chill. The 7 of us got there around 7:30-8pm and didn't get seated until about 9-9:15pm, the wait kind of killed the mood but we were able to go and grab drinks at Sign Of The Whale while we waited. When we got seated the place looked hectic, loud, a lot of people and a lot of food, our server (Ramsey) arrived at our table with some water, which was well needed after all that alcohol, offered us some chips, spoke to us for a while, asked how we were doing etc... and told us he'd be back in a few minutes. The inside looks great, you wouldn't think you were in CT after being there for a while. Once our server got back (after about 5ish minutes), he refilled our waters (which again was a blessing) told us our chips would take a while longer & took our drink orders. After about 15-20 minutes he arrived with our chips, apologized for the wait, asked if he could do anything to compensate and if we would like to order, we were all starving and had been praying for food for about 2-3 hours now. He grabbed our food order and informed us it would be a while and grabbed us some more chips for the wait it was about 9:30pm by this point. Now this was a big thing for us. From about 9:45pm to maybe 10:45pm (possibly longer) no food was in sight, throughout that time our server had been tending to us in terms of water, drinks & chips, but honestly by the 3rd bowl we didn't want anymore chips, we appreciated the service, but we were losing patience & wanted to eat the food we ordered. By this time a manger came by (I believe his name was Keith) and explained to us once more what the server had been telling us, "the food is on its way" "can we do anything for you while you wait" "would you like a drink on us" AGAIN, the service was highly appreciated, but we were HANGRY. At this point half of my buddies were sick of the continuous "excuses" and decided to leave without paying (they had a train to catch back to the city & have been hungry for 3-4 hours now). After the manager brought us a rounds of drinks & some shots (ON THE HOUSE), the other half of us decided to stay, and THANKFULLY the food finally showed up. At least the runner/server knew exactly where the food was supposed to go, and it was a relief to see that our food was warm and actually delicious, i had the Jamburrito & Chicken Burrito, and i can say i probably will be back for more (maybe not on a Saturday night, so i don't have to wait 3-4 hours). So for the rest of the night, we ate, drank and had a great time with our server hanging around chatting & checking in on us. When the bill was presented, the manager brought out a receipt that was about ~$400ish which instantly made us regret staying and had us asking "seriously?" but within the seconds he and the server laughed and said it was a joke & showed us the real receipt with all of the items comp'd off (the food from our friends leaving & customer satisfaction discounts) this had us laughing for a few minutes, and we even brought it back up the next day (due to one of my buddies literally looking terrified once he saw the fake receipt) and laughed some more. after eating & hanging out with our server for a bit longer, we checked out and left. TLDR----- To wrap it all up, its a nice place to eat. Is it the best? No, not yet anyways, i believe they got the food, service and atmosphere down, but they just have to fix these wait times, 4-5 hours for food is honestly unacceptable, and anyone would be right to walk out after only an hour of waiting. But the night was enjoyable just off of the service and food when it finally arrived. our server and the manger seemed like they genuinely cared about us & were down to earth, actually took the time to have an actual conversation with us, cool people! Between the seating wait time (1-2 hours) and the food wait time (1-2 hours) i can say it was worth it for me (I am a patient person), the food was actually good & hit the spot for me, and the service between the server & manager was good. -5 stars for the waiting time, BUT +3 for food & service. I will be back to give it another shot! Keith & Ramsey rock! Thanks guys. read more

NEVER GOING BACK This is the third time we tried Mexicue, giving it the benefit of the doubt after 2 other sub-par experiences, which were closer to when it originally opened years ago at this point, thinking the service and experience would be better. Made a reservation for Mother's Day. Upon arriving to the restaurant there was no host at the stand at the entrance. A couple told us they had been waiting for 10 minutes and no one had come out. There were several groups waiting to be seated with reservations even earlier than ours. After waiting for ~15 minutes we were told we would have to sit outside or wait longer, so we chose to sit outside even though it was chilly. Upon entering the restaurant, there were many unoccupied tables inside but none big enough for us - why these unoccupied tables couldn't be put together I do not know. We were cold outside and asked if there were any larger tables that opened up inside if we could be moved. As tables emptied inside they were not bussed and left dirty for quite some time. The option to move was never offered to us. We saw people being turned away at the front because the restaurant was "fully booked," however we could see SO many open tables!! Our server, Nebil, was great. He was friendly and attentive. The food was great, at the time of our lunch, however ALL FIVE OF US were sick hours later (GI symptoms) and now, three days later, I am still having issues. This was just the icing on the cake, my family and I will never be going back to this restaurant. I am shocked that a restaurant that has been opened for this long STILL has such shockingly horrible customer service. I never write bad reviews like this but after this experience I just had to. read more

I was walking around Harbor Point yesterday (Mother's Day) by the water and made my way around towards the back of where Mexicue has their outdoor dining area. More than half of the tables were empty. It was between 2pm and 3pm. We decided to have a late lunch and sit outside with the beautiful weather we were having. I noticed an A sign outside the door advertising a happy hour 11-4. We walked in and we're stopped by the host. He asked if we had reservations. I said no. He said they're at capacity then and can't take more people. I was perplexed. I'd say maybe 30% of the tables were taken at that point? Maybe 2 or 3 people at the bar. They turned us away and it felt like there was some extra reason why, unless they were just really short staffed which wasn't mentioned. I asked him, even for the happy hour you're advertising out here? He said yeah it seems weird but that's what it is. Not sure how on a Sunday with perfect weather, the only outdoor dining with waterfront views in Harbor Point, with a happy hour going on they couldn't handle more than 30% capacity. We heard others complaining as well that the service was slow and they only had 2 people working the bar. I've had good experiences here a while back, but this situation was a first for me. read more

The kindness and courtesy of manager Bobby is truly stand-out. He's been nothing short of exceptionally courteous, thoughtful, friendly, and helpful every time I've dined here. He is a gem, and if anything ever goes disastrously awry, I can trust that he will be able to sort things out and make it right! I've been dining here -- and ordering take-out -- consistently for almost exactly a year, and have seen this restaurant's service and food quality all through the trajectory and landscape of COVID. It's been a tough road for every restaurant, no matter how large or small, and Mexicue is no different. I'm truly glad it's survived the bulk of the pandemic, and is slowly but surely ramping back up its hours of operation and staffing, especially now that the weather is beginning to warm up! This is a fantastic spot that definitely picks up on the weekend evenings, so a word of advice to try to make a reservation on OpenTable (or similar), but if you're just walking in, I can say from experience that the staff will always do their best to accommodate if it's at all possible. If nothing else, you always order take-away and eat the delicious food just across the way on one of the tables in the courtyard or along the boardwalk. read more

Meh is right - tried so hard to like it - but it just isn't a very good restaurant. Been 3 times now - all underwhelming or just terrible. Doesn't feel like a real restaurant - rather just a vacant space that someone threw some cheap chairs and plastic plants in to. There isn't a comfortable seat in the house - all hard, small surfaces. My butt hurts after leaving every time. Bathrooms aren't maintained - missing soap and paper towels all three times I've been. Service is really lacking all over - servers are dressed like they just rolled out of bed and don't care to check in at your table. The worst part, however, is the food! Three times now and they refuse to serve the food hot! It tastes like it's just sitting in a luke warm steam table and scooped out onto a plate. No fresh cooking, no attempt at bringing it up past room temperature...just slopped onto a plate. Really disappointing. Asked our server about it most recently and she insisted everything is cooked fresh to order. Low and behold when walking out you can watch the scrubby looking kitchen staff "scooping" and "pooping" the food right out. Expensive chipotle without a decor package. Loser loser - go to Bareburger instead. read more

I would not recommend anyone eating here. Everything was subpar or straight not good. The decor itself is relative to BareBurger next door, but without the good food/drinks/service. The service was horrendous. Everyone that helped us out seemed like they were waiters for the first time. Which is probably fine, but even so, you should still be knowledgable about what food and drinks you offer. The food was overpriced and not very good at all. You get small portions of weirdly constructed food. The chef did not do a good job of mixing Texan and Mexican foods. The flavors did not compliment each other at all. We had the queso, which was small and not creamy or mixed well. We then had the tacos, which were big but not well assembled and did not have good ingredients. The drinks were pricey and only okay; the waiter didn't even know what was on the menu and had to go back and check twice if they even had what we asked for (which was on the menu). They are several much better Mexican places in Stamford, that are cheaper and delicious. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Omg!! This was our first time there - definitely NOT the last. We were looking for somewhere to celebrate my son's birthday Saturday night and stopped here for lunch to try it out. Bingo!! First of all, the view is awesome. Our server, Christina, was not only super friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu. We decided on the charred jalapeño guacamole to start. Holy cow!!! Best guacamole ever!!! The margaritas were TO DIE FOR....and then the meal..... I had the fried guacamole taco and the spicy chicken taco. Delish!!! My daughter is from Alabama where brisket is a main staple. She had the brisket taco and flat out said it was the best brisket she has EVER had. So - service, food, drinks, atmosphere A+++ We will DEFINITELY be returning for dinner this Saturday. If I could've given more stars I would. If you want a great place for Mexican - This. Is.

I ate at Mexicue tonight, (Saturday 7th) and although I had to wait about an hour and thirty minutes for a table, it was all worth it, my server Ramsey was extremely kind & welcoming, he offered us some of his favorite drinks & set us up with some tuna ceviche (which was an amazing recommendation, that dish is wonderful) a few minutes after, we ended up ordering some food, usually when I go to new restaurants I am fairly confused about what to get, but I was recommended items and guided through the menu, and I had an amazing meal, I had a Rock Shrimp Taco, Chicken Slider & a Beans & Cheese Burrito (the whole mix & match the right side of the menu is a great, tasty idea) The drinks, food, and servers (as demonstrated tonight) were a fantastic dining experience, and I WILL be back again (a smaller wait would be good too). read more

We had a double date at Mexicue in harbor point because we heard good things. Our expectations were high and they exceeded every one of them. Not only was the food excellent and tasty but the service was unparalleled. Our server Alanis was friendly and very understanding of our groups dietary needs. One of us is allergic to gluten and another to cilantro. The manager Bobby came over to inform us that cilantro was in almost everything. But he worked with us and modified their amazing Nashville Chicken Tacos to suit my friends needs. Both Bobby and Alanis took amazing care of us and even brought us some dessert keeping in mind our dietary needs again. I have never felt so taken care of at a restaurant. I will certainly be back soon and recommend you eat here for the food and more importantly the staff. Thank you. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We were traveling home to MA and stopped here for a quick dinner Monday night. It is a beautiful Restaurant inside and out. The food was exquisite, very well prepared and delicious! What made the experience even better was our waitress Tonny, she explained the menu and was very helpful with my daughters gluten allergy and knowledgeable with what she could and could not eat! Everything sounded so good so she suggested a few items like the Mexican Street corn and Chicken tacos and she was right both were excellent and very flavorful! She was very friendly and efficient. Every restaurant needs a waitress like her! Best service and food we've had this vacation. We will definitely be back next time we're in CT. And will definitely have Tonny serve us again! read more

This place ?! LOVE. The first time I came here was for a quick lunch and the energy of the restaurant was so amazing. I sat with the server Kessie who was very attentive as well as busy handling her other tables. The patio was packed with people; so was inside and they played good music but just loud enough for you to still converse. I had to come back again for the Nashville Hot Chicken taco (must buy) and the new quesoritos are a hit. My server this time Alexis was so sweet as well as the manager Bobby who stopped by to make sure everything was okay going at me and my friend's table.

Came here for happy hour for my birthday and could NOT have been happier! The margaritas are amazing and the food even better! I highly recommend the chips and guac, super delicious! Come on an empty stomach because you will want to order EVERY SINGLE THING on the menu. But the best thing on the menu is definitely the street corn tostada. I will order it every time I go back, which will be a lot. Our server Valentina was amazing! She took great care of us and was extremely personable and friendly. Overall, great food, excellent service, delicious drinks! Five stars for sure! read more

AMAZING!!! The food, drinks staff perfection!! We came out to celebrate my birthday. We arrived at 6:45 pm seated quickly and the service could not have been better. Our server Rocky was superb..personable and on her game. She kept checking in to make sure we didn't have an empty glass or plate. I did however order a Mojito, it didn't taste like it should have,but James the manager made sure that it was correct immediately...he made it himself. I have been here many times and will continue to return. Make sure to have a lobster taco with a spicy margarita! I always do read more

Awesome spot for anything and everything Mexican food... Tacos, Margaritas, Guacamole, and much more are absolutely delicious. The back patio is open for outdoor dining and you can easily spend half a day or more there without realizing it! Seafood tacos (fish, shrimp, lobster) are a must. Brunch is also a great choice with the Cornbread French Toast or Huevos Rancheros. Bobby and the team provide excellent service with smiles on. Whether you live in Stamford or are just passing through, this is place is a MUST - Alex and Krissy | Instagram: @coupleof.foodies read more

Hi this is my first time at Mexicue here in Stamford, I am actually from miami visiting. We took our boat up. I must say this place is spectacular the smoky chicken tacos and cornbread are to die for. Chis my bartender is amazing. I'm actually going to do a major order tomorrow morning for brunch and I cannot wait. Bobby was so helpful in every aspect. I will be back next time I'm in ct and I will be telling everyone. I almost feel like I'm in miami the sceneries are gorgeous Also I must say the staff is so friendly. 2 thumbs up and 5 stars all around. read more
