Time to live every day like it’s Taco Tuesday! And maybe a delicious margarita to go along with it? This round-up is our favorite by far. It got us so excited to go out for a date night, moms’ night out, or family dinner! Here are the Fairfield County Mom contributors’ favorite taco and margarita joints!
Geronmino Tequila Bar & Southwest Grill {Fairfield & New Haven}
The Geronimo’s margarita and spicy margarita are fan favorites! You have to start the table with some table-side guacamole, and their burritos are delicious and a huge portion! For something lighter, I highly recommend the cowgirl chop salad.
Bodega {Fairfield & Darien}
For drinks, the Rosarita and Spicy Rita are delicious and full of flavor. We recommend starting with elotes (Mexican street corn) and sweet chili duck nachos. As for tacos, they’re all delicious!
Senior Salsa {Fairfield and Westport}
Great for take-out (it’s a go-to for beach dinners)! They have a salsa and chip bar with a lot of fun options! One of our contributors orders there at least once a week for a family dinner that everyone enjoys.
Rio Bravo {Fairfield & Westport}
A great family-friendly restaurant. Their French tacos, Gringo tacos, Chicken Mango Quesadilla, and Veggie Fajitas are yummy! The chips and salsa are simple and delicious.
Malibu Taco {Fairfield}
A favorite for our Fairfield-based contributors. The taco menu has traditional and more funky options like Nashville hot chicken! If tacos aren’t your thing (number one, are you ok?), their rice and salad bowls are delicious. The Malibu Passion Spritz is the perfect summer drink to accompany your food.
El Gallo Dorado {Monroe & Shelton}
This is one of the few places my Texan (Taco snob) husband will go back to time and again. The al pastor tacos are a favorite, and the tortas are HUGE and delicious. We recommend the milanesa. They also have a breakfast menu to satisfy those breakfast burrito cravings.
Viva Zapata {Westport}
A classic restaurant that has been around for a LONG time (50 years to be exact). Their margaritas are delicious, and they have many varieties. You can’t go wrong with any meal, but my favorite is the taco salad!
Bar Taco {Westport, Stamford & Portchester}
Great for families during the day and girls’ night out or date night once the sun sets! Delicious tacos include the sesame ribeye, chili-lime shrimp, and seared chorizo. The guacamole is a must-try along with esquites and sweet plantains! The Bartaco Margarita is the best. I get mine extra spicy!
Taco Tequila Taqueria {Norwalk}
A yummy taco joint that serves breakfast at 10:00 a.m. and has super warm and inviting owners!
Evaritas {Norwalk}
Fun cocktails and super fresh tostados! They also have a cool rooftop bar!
Taco Daddy {Stamford}
Street corn waffle fries and birria tacos? YES! This cool Stamford spot has an extensive drink list to accompany its delicious food. If you’re going with a group, try a sharable cocktail like the rum and pineapple forward: “U up?”
Tacos Mexico {Norwalk}
Traditional Mexican cuisine. The tacos de chicharron and the tacos de pescado are some delicious choices. Try a glass of horchata if you’re not in the mood for a margarita.
Rincon Taqueria {Norwalk}
Delicious and HUGE burritos, great salsa that packs a punch, and a good, strong margarita! Also, a fun and funky ambiance!
Tequila Mockingbird {New Canaan}
A fun restaurant with delicious drinks and authentic dishes. It’s a little on the pricey side but totally worth it! Ask for a michelada with EXTRA Valentina for a spicy kick to an already delicious beverage.
Cactus Rose {Wilton}
Absolutely delicious food with high quality and fresh ingredients! It’s a fun atmosphere with outdoor seating as well! They have a variety of fantastic margaritas!
Puerto Vallarta {Danbury & Fairfield}
A fun atmosphere with delicious margaritas! Lots of gluten-free options, and their Instagram page has my mouth watering.
Tacomida Tacos and Tequila {Shelton}
A yummy taco joint with delicious drinks to pair with your meal! We recommend the portobello mushroom and chicken borracho tacos.
El Coyote {Monroe & Danbury}
Fantastic margaritas and fajitas! An extensive menu of delicious items to choose from.
