If you’re in Stamford and in the mood for good tacos and savory Mexican dishes, head to Casa Villa. Casa Villa has two locations in Stamford on 182 West Main Street and 866 East Main Street.
Casa Villas tacos are made with soft corn tortillas and topped with chopped onions, cilantro and salsa. Tacos cost no more than $3, so you can try a bunch of them and be satisfied. Or, try three along with rice and beans for $8.50. Our favorites:
- De Adobada (Chili-marinated Pork)
- De Pollo (Chicken)
- De Bistec (Beef)
- De Chicharron (Pork cracklings) – we love chicharron, and usually eat it with rice. Whenever we see it on the menu, we order some (even additional orders for takeout). Here, you can have it in a taco. They break them up into small pieces, so each bite is crunchy and flavorful.
Bistec a la Mexicana con Arroz Frijoles y Tortillas (Tender pieces of steak with onions, tomatoes and fresh jalapeños. Served w/ rice and beans and Tortillas), is an excellent dish to try, especially if you like your food spicy. Typically when I order dishes with jalapeños, I don’t even notice them. That’s an exception here.
Other entrées include chicken, pork, beef, and seafood dishes – familiar dishes, and chef specialities, including fajitas and enchiladas. Most dishes come with rice and beans and a side of tortillas, so be prepared to be stuffed.
Casa Villa also delivers, so order online via their website or call in and order some chicharron on the side. It tastes great when you use it as a topping over rice and beans.
