About Us

We are a neighborhood bar serving up street style tacos plus traditional Mexican fare combined with a unique collection of craft cocktails and Tequila.

Tacomida opened its doors in May of 2019. Owners Paul Ganassini and Hartin Ballabani set the goals of having a destination that is fun and inviting, a creative menu focusing on simplicity and flavor with a wide range of Platos (small plates) plus large plates great for sharing. Sip on a delicious traditional margarita made with a small batch tequila and fresh lime juice or sort through our cocktail list comprised of different tequila-based cocktails among many other options. Paul and Hartin together bring over 20 years of hospitality experience crossing paths in past endeavors who came together to bring something refreshing and exciting to the Down town area of Shelton. With a mission to grow roots in the downtown neighborhood of Shelton Paul and Hartin have exciting plans for the future of Tacomida including weekly tequila tastings, cooking classes for kids and a taco truck!

The restaurant features a combination of rustic meets industrial décor including reclaimed barn wood from Northern CT, exposed steel beams with a 20-foot U shape bar topped with a black walnut top. Our Duel garage doors open to a 30-seat patio perfect for spring, summer and fall visits. Plenty of options for seating in our dining room, high top tables in the lounge or spacious bar.
