Have you tried El Charrito mexican Taco truck in Stamford?

After days of miserable, rainy and overcast weather, when I opened my eyes to sunlight this morning, my first thought was – “Gotta make the most of it!”.  So I proceeded to plan the day’s itinerary centered around the great outdoors.  Of course that meant lunching at some outdoor venue as well!

El Charrito Mexican Taco Tuck in Stamford came to mind.  It had been months since I last visited them and I was craving their yummy goodness.  Their tacos are homemade.  They are really authentic and good. It is simple Mexican street food at its best.  I always feel like they came fresh out of my friend’s kitchen … you know the one who is from Mexico?  :-)

In my last few visits, I have tried quite a few things and here are my two cents:  The tacos are always soft and delicately flavored so that they don’t overpower the taste of the fillings.  These are not the kind of tacos you eat with sour cream or even guacamole.  They are simple in composition yet quite deep in flavor.  Camarones ie: the shrimp tacos are the moistest and the flavor of the delicately seasoned shrimp really comes through. The chorizo taco is the most flavorful.  The chorizo tastes like no other and I simply LOVE it!   Adobada, the spicy pork taco was nice and spicy.  It is a good choice. And you simply can’t go wrong with Pollo, the chicken taco.  Cueritos is the crunchy pork skin taco.  Very flavorful meat…but the process of frying the pork skin to get it crunchy rendered it a bit on the dry side.  The fresh onions and cilantro on top of each is the best compliment for these yummy tacos - adding the perfect crunch and fresh flavor.

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are youRead More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses thatRead More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekendsRead More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.
