Taco Daddy - Stamford

Excitedly went to Taco Daddy for the first time recently! I am so sad to say it does not live up to the hype. The atmosphere 10/10, the food not so much. Ordered 3 $5 tacos, and plantains thinking it would be enough. I ended up ordering 3 more tacos so I ate a total of 6. They were all different flavors and I have to say only 2 were good. Someone said to me but their drinks are better . So while that is more than likely true, this place is called Taco Daddy, and not everyone drinks alcohol.

I came to this restaurant on a Sunday for brunch. The atmosphere was upbeat and trendy. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My friend and I were really excited to try this place because we had heard such good things. unfortunately, the food looks better than it tastes. I give the presentation a 10/10, but the meat in our tacos were super dry and the plantains were also dry on the inside. We did enjoy the waffle fries though! We tried the sprinkle donut for desert, and although it was really pretty, the taste was underwhelming. I would recommend this place for drinks more so than the food.

I can't give you a zero so I'm gonna give you a one. Being that I tried to call the store twice to express my concerns and rectify the situation no one answered after leaving an empty bar here's my yelp review. I visited taco daddy today 7/12/22 at 6pm) in hopes of celebrating my birthday after work and I was utterly dissatisfied. Although the gentleman at the entrance of the restaurant was pleasant, The woman who served my friend and I at the bar was very inattentive and became insolent when I decided to pay a portion of my tab with a $50 visa gift card I was gifted with for my birthday. She insisted that the gift card did not have money on it. While I checked my balance at the bar on speakerphone and confirmed I had money on it. Furthermore she maintained an aggressive tone when I asked to swipe it again after checking my balance. My gift card was approved twice for two different prices $29 $10) and then she insisted that we couldn't swipe a third time because she didn't want to run it again. At that point I felt discriminated against because while I checked my balance on the phone she had a pleasant demeanor towards the gentleman sitting at the end of the bar. Not to mention The drinks were subpar and matched her subpar attitude. All in all I'm not sure if she thought we were broke or something but that was definitely unacceptable needs to work on her customer service skills. To think I came all the way from Westchester, NY to be treated poorly on my birthday is truly horrendous. Do better and retrain that bartender woman.

What happened?! This used to be a very nice place to have tacos before! Is it because Lila Rose next door closed down and they lost a competitor so no need to try to be as good? Crunchy wrap was soggy, fish taco had zero lime on it and very dry, the other tacos were of varying degrees of uneventfullness, except for cauliflower one. The most annoying is that they charge a full cocktail price for a mocktail that's essentially a glass full of ice with few sips of passion fruit juice, that felt a bit like a rip off. Before, when they were on their top, it was worth the trip from Greenwich, but now it feels overpriced for what you get. Whoever makes their tacos now should take a trip to any of Taco no.1 in New York to see how a truly great taco should taste like.

The food was great but other then me seeing a mouse run across the floor.
