CASA VILLA: NEW LOCATION, 886 EAST MAIN STREET, STAMFORD
11/19/2010
I’m famously a fiend for tacos, so I could barely contain my excitement when I heard Casa Villa, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Stamford, was opening second location.
But the owner, Alvino Villa, wouldn’t tell me where it was going to be.
I tried playing twenty questions and the best I could get out of him was that I couldn’t walk to it from my house, but there would be parking. This ruled out the West Side and Downtown. Frankly, opening a second Casa Villa would only make sense on East Main or in the Cove, but I still couldn’t figure it out.
It was right under my nose all along. Looking back, it seems a little ridiculous I didn’t figure it out earlier: Alvino is taking over the location of Myrna’s Mediterranean Bistro at 886 East Main Street (meanwhile, Myrna’s is setting up shop in Darien).
The most important thing about all of this is that my office will be way closer to the awesome al pastor and carnitas tacos, yet I will STILL be able to walk to the original location, at 182 West Main Street, from my house.
Excellent.

Oh man…I will come by!
Hey Chris, we finally did it. we are open. Please come in and get your first meal on us.
Thank you. Best regards
I asked him about it once. His sister-in-law or something makes it.
Casa Villa delivers. Their mole sauce is awesome, but oh the calories. I should probably walk there too, when I order that…
This is great! I love Casa Villa, but it’s such a pain to park on West Main Street. Plus I work in Shippan, so now I can jet up Myrtle Avenue for some adobada taco goodness!
