"This is my first time at Tomatillo Taco Joint, and I’m immediately a fan. The food is incredibly delicious, and the service was great! My father and I both got salad bowls. The tomatillo vinaigrette is fresh and flavorful — SO much better than the watered down salsa verde you might find at Chipotle or Qdoba. They even have actual poblano in their fajita veggies, such a delightful surprise. I’m so impressed and shocked that this place isn’t more popular or well-reviewed. These small details made for such a more nuanced and well rounded taste. The employee who helped us kindly explained the differences between their salsas and made sure to give us extra dressing on the side when I wasn’t sure if we had gotten enough on our salads. The shrimp was made to order and tasted fresh. It wasn’t your everyday cheap shrimp. The chicken was juicy and delicious. The interior was clean and had a lot of space to casually eat-in, though a little dim. I really hope this small business (local franchise) where everything is cooked fresh on-site, no microwaves, can continue to thrive in Stamford. With a place like this (massive portions, authentic ingredients/taste, freshness, warm employees, amazing prices), I won’t even think about going to Chipotle, which I have historically loved lol. Our bowls were only $11 and $12!Everyone come here for a quick, authentic, affordable Mexican bite! We have to work together to keep places like this in business. ????"
