    The vibes and presentation are there, but the food is lacking, and the prices are way too high especially given the sub par flavor. The only things worth getting on the menu are the tacos, and they are 4" tortillas, for $5.88 each. What is this Westport? I had higher hopes...

    Marinated Ahi Tuna
    Jacqueline T.

    Malibu Taco is a fun place to meet friends for cocktails and lunch when traveling back to CT. My go to is the Marinated Ahi Tuna served with fresh guacamole, blueberries, cucumbers, toasted sesame seeds and a miso-lime vinaigrette. It's the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. The service is always quick and the vibe is typical Fairfield county.

    Pibil tacos

    I love their new lunch special! The service was great and it was packed but I didn't wait long at all!!! I wowed out loud when I had my first bite of the pibil tacos they are actually incredible.

    Last night, I hit up Malibu Taco for a Sunday Happy Hour from 6:30 PM until close with one of my close friends. I started off with an espresso martini that set the tone, then shifted gears to Malibu Marg's for the rest of the night--strong drinks, exactly as they should be. Mitch, our waiter, was on point. But THE CALAMARI TACOS with miso sauce!? Absolute game-changer. I'm officially a miso sauce fan. The Tuna Tostone was good too. Good vibe, good time.

    We love coming to Malibu! The drinks are always amazing and so is the service. Everything came out so fast, even with how busy it was! The outside area is perfect, especially with the fun pink umbrellas - one of my go-to summer spots!

    I came here with some of my family to celebrate my nephews win at his soccer game! They had cute outdoor seating we originally sat outside but it was too hot luckily they had some space inside for 7 of us. Juan was our waiter and he was very friendly, he checked up on us frequently, he was very helpful and attentive. Inside the restaurant is so cute! I love the vibe! Now, on to the food we had ordered a variety of things on the list of things ordered to the table- ahi tuna, steak, two Nashville chicken tacos. Yuca fries which were loved by the whole table although I would wish they would give a bigger portion they were great! Birria tacos, arroz con pollo, shrimp Al mojo, chicken quesadilla. Overall the dishes were great! My sister and law got some drinks and we both tried the la pinta and my nephew got the adios padre mocktail. I would recommend to give it a try! We will definitely be back!

    Marinate Ahi Tuna take out rice bowl

    Living in Fairfield, we have a handful of regular places we either go out to eat or get take out from, and Malibu is right there on top of the list. We've been eating here for years, and I am constantly impressed with quality and flavors of the food. The few times we came here to eat, whether its with 6 people or 2 people, we always had exceptional service. The restaurant is also very cool inside, and on a nice warm day, has plenty of outdoor seating. One of my favorites is the Marinated Ahi Tuna rice bowl (ponzu marinated chopped tuna, guac, scallions, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, spicy cucumbers, blueberries, miso-lime vinaigrette). But honestly, everything on the menu is good. My daughter is partial to the pork belly tacos. Highly recommend either for family meal or a night out with friends (drink menu is great too!)

    A fun and vibrant spot to enjoy tacos! With an outdoor patio and large bar, this is a cool spot to meet friends during the summer. Went in between lunch and dinner on a Saturday and service was very slow and not overly friendly. The food however tasted great and all the tacos had large portions of meat. The steak was definitely a favorite. The drinks were tasty and strong as well.

    Malibu Passion Spritz
    Yajaira R.

    My friends and I celebrated our girl's birthday. We had brunch and I'm so glad they decided on Malibu. The aesthetics made me feel like I was in Tulum, Mexico. The drinks were tasty, yet strong. I ordered the Malibu Passion Spritz (this was my fav) & the passion fruit margarita. The menu accommodated to all allergies, diets, and preferences. Everything we ordered, tasted delicious! We ordered the Spicy Cucumbers, Sweet Potato Guacamole, & Nachos; all delicious. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco, Buffalo Cauliflower Taco, & Chipotle Shrimp Taco. They have the option to opt out of the tortilla and replace it with a lettuce wrap. I couldn't stop eating because I could taste the flavor in each ingredient in the dish. I will be returning! The service with Daniela was amazing!

    Food was absolutely delish. The Greek was a very good bowl I was skeptical about the peaches but it complimented very well. Everything was fresh with great service. 10/10. Great outdoor and indoor seating.

    The Greek Salad and Rice Bowl and Sangria
    Morgan H.

    Being from California I wasn't expecting to be impressed by this California cuisine restaurant but I was wrong. The restaurant has super cute vibes, delicious and refreshing cocktails and fresh food. The menu has a wide range of items, from crab cakes, poke and chorizo fried rice to Nashville hot chicken tacos, open faced quesadillas and salmon teriyaki. What a mix! It doesn't seem possible to come here without finding something you like and also being able to try something new each time. Their salad and rice bowls were calling my name as I was craving something on the healthier side for lunch. You have the option of going with superfood greens, brown rice or a combo of both which you know I had to do. The Greek Bowl totally hit the spot. It comes with tender shredded marinated lamb, succulent peaches, creamy goat cheese, tomato, onion, spicy cucumbers, tzatziki and a feta vinaigrette to bring it all together. It was honestly perfection and I am craving another right now. We passed by in the evening and this appeared to be a happening place for dinner as well.

    Buffalo chicken quesadilla
    Nicole F.

    Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. We made it just in time for happy hour and the margaritas were good! I wouldn't say it was the best marg, but still very good. I ordered the buffalo chicken quesadilla and it was more like a pizza, an open faced tortilla with all the toppings, not what i was expecting and honestly, i was hoping for an actual quesadilla not an american twist to one . The chicken was very good, however, there was not a lot of chicken on my quesadilla which was a downfall. Parking - there is street parking (for free) or in addition there was a lot, however at 5pm on a Saturday there wasn't any for me.

    I grew up in New Mexico. Los Quates in Albuquerque, La Choza in Santa Fe, Carrillo's in Clovis,…read moreLucy's in Carlsbad, Capitol Cafe in Roswell (my home town) - I've eaten at all of them. I still order cases of salsa shipped from Las Cruces because I've never found anything on the east coast that comes close - until now. Green Chilitos is the real thing. The tacos, the homemade salsas, the queso, the black bean dip was amazing. The guy who owns it really cares... Portions are REALLY big - like leftover lunch big and terrific. The space is small and simple - don't come here for the ambiance. but the food is really the star. One humble suggestion for GC (I decided to give it a nickname)... throw up a BYOB sign out front. This is Fairfield. We will show up with a bottle of wine faster than you can say guacamole. A sign in the window could change your business overnight. Again, awesome - you should go - or take out (but really go, and bring a bottle...)

    Road trip to Boston…read more.. Needless to say it was a Friday afternoon and traffic was a pain from the start. A quick little yelp search and we had an instant detour for some sustenances, while we let the other motorist continue on their way. Bodega, located in a small little shopping strip, is also small and quaint. Not much wiggle room so be prepared to be neighborly. We arrived half past 4, just in time for HH @ the bar. So we grabbed some seats at the end of the bar where Alex the bartender took care of us. We started with Passionritas (passion fruit margs) and guacamole. Both were equally delish and the guac is bowl licking worthy. However, I do not recommend since you are dinning in public. Lol. In addition we ordered the bodega blistered brussels sprouts and baja tacos to share. The sprouts were an absolute stand out. I opted for the Mexico City Ceasar Salad with Salmon. Presented slightly deconstructed, which didn't take anything away from the great taste. We had an absolute great experience from Alex our bartender whom was very impressionable to Diego (possible manager) whom also made a nice impression. We tried a few more margs before our departure. With the hibiscus being one of my faves. A wonderful spontaneous detour, that will now be a welcomed stop on future road strips north. Just A Note: - HH @ the Bar only (Tues-Fri 4-6pm) - You can take Bodegaritas to-go they have them bottled for sale.

    First time at Bodega Taco Bar. When we walked in, we were told we could sit anywhere. We took a…read moretable with four seats that had two tables pushed together. The food and drinks were good, but the experience afterward left a bad impression. While we were eating, a server came by and separated the tables. Near the end of our meal someone who seemed to be in charge asked if I wanted to finish my drink at the bar. It felt like we were being rushed out after a larger party came in. What made it more frustrating was that other tables with the same amount of seating, including a single person at a 4-seat table, were not approached or treated the same way.

    Right in S Broad St. the location couldn't be any better with parking right in the front…read more I got the horchata it was so fresh and yummy. For small plates, we got the esquites and sweet plantains. The esquites was delicious. For the sweet plantains, they asked if we wanted the crema + queso fresco on the side but it still came on top. Plantains were alright, wasn't loving them though because they were drenched in the toppings. Kale salad was huge! Yummy and fresh. The food came out so quick. I love that they use corn tortillas for the tacos. The pork belly taco was drenched in kimchi, not my favorite but a good cut of pork belly. I like the lamb taco tasted just like a mini lamb gyro. The baja fish taco was my favorite though, it's comes in a huge slab. it was so good I ordered another. I love the chipotle sauce the Baja fish taco comes with too. The music was awesome too, such a vibe. A lot of EDM, felt like all they were missing was a disco ball. Very delicious, would come back.

Convenient for dine in or take out. We found the plantains to be well fried and deliciously sweet. The ribeye quesadilla was good chunks of beef, but while good quality, seemed to lack seasoning. Service was friendly but missed several things in our order. Had to catch before we left we had ordered a drink. Unfortunately did not find out until we got home they had not bagged the dipping sauce for the birria tacos.
