Love this place. Take my children here all the time. Ingredients are very high quality. Good service.

I was scared to be disappointed But this place was Surprisingly Good! We had the chicken tacos and chicken burritos! Pretty good I must say. I've ordered a couple of times just to compare and both times I was happy. I'd like to go into the restaurant to eat since I ordered through Uber! I do recommend read more

I had high hopes for this place and was excited to finally try it after passing by for over a year. The space itself is beautiful neon signs, bottles on display, wood accents, and thoughtful details that really create a great vibe. Service was excellent. My server was sweet, patient, personable, and helpful. She recommended the Birria Burrito since I mentioned I was hungry, and it came out in about 10 minutes. Visually, it looked fantastic, massive, stuffed, and well presented. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't live up to the look. The burrito itself was missing seasoning and depth. It had good ingredients, but there just wasn't much soul or flavor to the dish. The consomé was also bland and didn't add anything to the meal. Overall, I left pretty disappointed since this had so much potential to be amazing. I might give it another shot down the road, but not any time soon. read more

Arrived apx 11:30 AM to a basically empty, clean restaurant. The man at the register was friendly and welcoming. Placed my order at the vounter (steak tacos) and glass of vino and sat down. Within a few minutes I had my wine. Food took apx 10 minutes which was fine as waiting for my hairdresser across the street as she was running late. The food arrived and was very tasty and not greasy . The bathrooms were well stocked and clean. Go with confidence read more

We ended up at the Taco Project because they had a Bluey Brunch and it was adorable it was a perfect pit stop after a day off errands. And the Cupid's Cocktail was very nice(with Rum instead of Vodka) would go again to try the tacos and Horchata! read more

Food was just ok wouldn't rush back. We asked for no cilantro and had to send the orders back as it was covered in cilantro.

Food was subpar. I had a chicken burrito, which was predominantly very dry rice. Almost no chicken was there. In fact, at first, I didn't think they added it at all. won't go back. read more

The food here has all the soul and flavor of Latin Night at the nursing home. It is so vanilla and has no trace of Latin ingredients it seems. This was my second visit. The horchata comes out of a Machine and is not much more than just rice milk. The next time I had a shrimp burrito. Which was really uninteresting. SAVE YOUR MONEY. there is nothing Latin about this place. read more

I would like to say that I really love this place. Since my family and I moved from Virginia to Stamford about a year ago, it has been difficult to find a place where we all feel welcome due to the language barrier. We are from Portugal and our English is not perfect, but at this place I am very happy to have been served by the kitchen manager who saw us struggling to order and came to help us. We were lucky to find out that she speaks Portuguese. Not only her, but the gentlemen at the register were very friendly. You have just gained customers for life. Thank you for including a staff that is willing to help and the delicious food!!!! I apologize for any mistakes I made using Google Translate. read more

I didn't know this place existed until a friend told me about it. We've since been here 4 times and it's great! I'm surprised by the negative reviews- there's a big sign that says Order Here, and each time we've been we are always greeted warmly by the staff and they've always been very helpful with recommendations on the menu. On this visit they had a nacho special which the guy behind the counter said would be enough for my daughter and I to share. It was plenty of food and it was delicious! Right amount of everything - no empty dry chips at the bottom. Lots of guac too, which I find most places skimp on. My favorite tacos are the shrimp ones. So tasty! But we have tried almost all the tacos and they're great! I haven't had a bowl yet, that will be next time. As for people's comments about the price, it's not a fair critique. Everything is priced high now! I got fast food with my son last week and it was $45 and we didn't get anything extra. I don't think it's fair to hold a business accountable for inflation... the food here is fresh and delicious, service with a smile, the food comes fast, and the seating area is cute, plus there's outdoor seating as well! read more

The Taco Project - Special nachos with BBQ pulled pork - Tacos Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

My husband had told me about this taco joint that started in NY and expanded to Stamford. We ordered take out and was not impressed. Super disappointing - especially given their prices. Pork Belly Tacos - $10.45 for 2 but a soppy mess per the photo. Overfilled so much that it soaked through the tortillas. Not enjoyable at all. Pork belly was too salty and the pineapple was too sweet but they didn't balance each other out. Taco Project Salsa - $5.95 for a small cup that is barely filled and it's watery and bland. I put in salt and lime myself to make this flavorful. Steak Burrito - $13.95 & the best thing we had but look at the photo. See how that half is probably the length of my thumb? It was maybe a 4-5 inch burrito total. Like maybe the size of an iPhone and a little wider. So small. I recommend go literally anywhere else. At least when Mexicue charges me that much it tastes good and my portions are sizable. read more

This place unfortunately wasn't as special as i thought it would be. For starters, 2 tacos were 10$ total. No sides come with it, you have to order those separately Sadly the taste wasn't worth the price. Maybe I got a bad scoop but the taco was very oily and tasted quite bland. (On a good note, we ordered the corn tortillas and they accidentally served them on the hard shells which were the best part of the taco) We also did get Guac which in my opinion was the best Guac I've ever had from any kind of restaurant! No tomato's and the onion wasn't overly powerful! Very good! Over all I would give this place another try maybe get a burrito?) if I was in north Stamford, however there are better places downtown that have more food for your buck! read more

My first experience was horrible and I sincerely hope someone reaches out to me to further discuss it. I am pregnant with my 1 year old and waited over 20 minutes for my take out order of 1 steak taco. Not only was it a long wait but when I asked for it, the prep server tried to justify it by blaming it on the order in which an order is received rather than the number of tacos. No apologies. She then grabbed a meal and shoved to me to get me from stop talking. No utensils, no napkins, nothing. On the drive back, I discovered that my order number #152 was now #155 and of a chicken taco. So not only was the order wrong, but #155 was made before my order #152, contradictory from what she said. I tried to call but no one picked up. When we returned to complain about this, she told my husband that "it's not their fault". We got our refund but left with no food and no apology or sorry whatsoever. This is one of the worst customer service that I have ever had. She was rude, unremorseful and I felt that she just wanted me dismissed. None of the other workers stepped in or helped. I would love to try your restaurant after hearing good things about it but sadly, I don't want to see her face. I never got to try the food but if I could, I would give 0 stars based on how I was treated as a customer. read more

The Taco Project - Wrong order but apparently "not their fault" - Tacos Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The Taco Project is such a great addition to Stamford! I appreciated that it's more of a fast-casual restaurant with counter service, where you can stay as long as you like, but it still feels like a typical dine-in experience with the quality of food and the atmosphere. Their menu was fantastic, and the steak stood out to me the most - the meat was so tender, it reminded me of short rib! I felt California beachy vibes here and love all of the neon signs. You can see into the kitchen a bit, and with how quickly our food came out, they seem to have a great system. read more

This is the worst service you can get in Stamford. Went in was sat down to not get any service waited for my order to get taken over 15 mins and the women keep only managing one table and pass in our table . We just got up and left read more

Eating here is like playing roulette with your health/safety/life. I got violently ill after eating the shrimp tacos and I know of several other people who have gotten food poisoning after eating here at various times over the part two years. While the service is friendly and the decor is cute, it should not distract people from the serious risks of consuming food from this establishment. read more

Sooooo 2.5 stars. Upon my third trip because I really really wanted a good eat in taco place nearby I have to finally drop the review after 3 months .... I've had all of the tacos and 2 of the bowls plus sampled most of the drink menu. Plain and simple it's wayyyy over priced for what you get. The tacos are ok. Usually warm & sometimes not! Avoid the bowls altogether. Upon my first visit as I sat at table for 20 mins before one of the "kids" informed me I must place my own orders in the front ... and the place was empty ?!?!? At these prices we deserve service. Great service. I understand the rent in that shopping center is astronomical and maybe that's the reason there are no surviving restaurants amd won't be for long. All in all everything is hit or miss for each item (rotating chefs I assume) when the tacos are hot and fresh (only on very slow days) it's a 4 star place. When room temp and soggy (bowls )it's negative 1 star. Drinks are good and strong enough ...Shrimp taco got me sick on round two. (Was cold - I should have sent back but it was busy that day). Spicy margaritas are fantastic (but tiny) and it's not big enough to make a living on the drinks. I really really really really really really really really really wanted to love this place .. unfortunately I barely liked it and will never return. I'm looking forward to seeing what takes it spot in late 2024. Too many taco options in the area to accept these prices, service and quality. And just a note on my first trip there I had to listen to two employees argue with each other for a half hour. It was a newly hired man and a woman, and she was just begging him to shut up and leave her alone after something inappropriate, he said. In both accounts if you're not smart enough to keep this away from customers in a newly opened establishment you have no business being in the food service industry. Sorry. read more

Did not even get to place my order not even a drink order after sitting there for a good 10 mins, menu is small so I did not need all that time to decide what I wanted, I understand there was one server, but don't make me feel like your doing me a favor by me being there, Ambience was dark, and simply an unpleasant vibe. Went once and had birria tacos which were ok but this was kind of aggravating. read more

For a small "fast food" spot, thus place was spot on. Drinks were excellent. Portions were good. 2 tacos per plate. The tacos did not fall apart and were very tasty. Highly recommend. The dessert was good too! read more

Really shocked at the bad reviews of this place. I tried the taco project today for the first time after a recommendation. I ordered a chicken bowl and added jalapeños. I ordered online for pickup which was super easy. When I got there, my food was packed up and ready to go and had napkins and silverware which is always appreciated. I thought the food was delicious!! Super fresh, still warm and the taco shell was still crispy. Although it doesn't look like a gigantic portion, it was plenty big and more than I could eat in one sitting. The taco project has secured a spot in my takeout rotationcan't wait to come back! read more

The Taco Project - Chicken bowl (plus I added jalapeños). Terrible picture, delicious food! - Tacos Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Second visit really disappointing. Don't go for the Bowls! They're just lukewarm beans and Spanish rice over a very soggy tortilla mini-bowl. Unlike the huge and delicious tortilla bowls at the lately departed Sierra Grill, these tortilla linings were Blech When you look at the menu you realize that it is all the same four or five proteins delivered in different vehicles: tacos wrapped as a burrito, on top of a salad or in one of these nasty bowls. Last visit the tacos were fine if overpriced. Service is great and the decor is hip and friendly. Just wish the food lived up to the vibe. read more

The Taco Project - Steak tacos - Tacos Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Service - they definitely prioritize take out so I don't recommend coming here for a quick sit down. There was only one other customer eating in and our 2 taco order took 30 minutes while they finished about 15 take out orders. Clearly that is the priority so stick with takeout. We followed up twice with the host and after our second ask, they provided our food. Food - we ordered the chicken taco and fish taco. Fish taco lacked any flavor (spices and sauce unimpressive). Chicken taco was average though it's a bit spicy (didn't work for my little one). Price - felt that it was too pricey per abode. I might try takeout here but not pick the above options. read more

alling all Karens.... The taco offerings are American fashioned and evokes no memories of Mexico or southwest (especially socal) other than the word "taco". It reminds me of tourists ultimate taqueria establishment (nothing authentic and recipes from some food network episode). It's amazing the northeast seems to fail at all attempts for good Mexican food. The cuisine is so poorly represented in the region (especially within Fairfield County). Stamford does not require more whitewashed cuisine added to its neighborhood. Overall, cute American take out joint with limited seating. Hard shell taco salads are most likely the appeal. Tacos missing soul and flavors of Mexico. read more

We stopped here on our long trip home. It was delicious, quick and a nice ambiance. Highly recommend the shrimp and steak burrito and French fries! read more

Notably bland food. From the guacamole to the sauce to the burritos. Needs more flavor, heat, etc.

This location is pretty small, but they really made the most of the space! Super cute decor and overall a nice little spot to grab a quick bite. You order your food up front and grab a table while waiting for your name to be called. The food came out super quick, I visited on a Thursday for lunch and waited ~5 minutes before our food came out. My boyfriend gave two thumbs up for the shrimp quesadilla, and I thought the beef burrito wasn't over the top or crazy, but still good. Maybe the rice just lacked a little bit of flavor, it was a bit bland but the hot sauce selection made up for it. Other than that, the margaritas were great, and I really enjoyed the street corn as well! Would definitely come again! read more

I sooo wanted to LOVE this place! Food looked great and packaged well! We ordered a Chicken quesadilla, shrimp tacos, and a chicken bowl through GrubHub. We didn't enjoy any of it. The quesadilla was oily. Literally dripping dark yellow oil, the shrimp tacos had a smell. There's not much flavor to the dishes. My husband did not enjoy the chicken bowl. Simply put - it didn't taste good. Very shocked and disappointed. It's a hard no for us. read more
