“Shared 4 assorted tacos (fish, lengua, birria & carnitas) with my wife for snack, craved for more. I don’t usually get Lengua (tongue) because of funky after taste from previous experience. At Mala Madre, lengua was so tender, butter and beefy. Will definitely come back for more.“
“I been here twice already for dinner. The chef and host very friendly. Food is delicious, vegetables and fish cooked perfectly grilled or fried. Stuffed calamari A plus. This place is small and has a nice bodega feel to it. Hope it stays that way. Feels like a hidden secret gem.“
“It’s a owner operator business, Manuel, is a star! Went in for lunch with my good friend he was Very attentive. We had the shrimp quesadilla and chicken crunch wrap! Three different mild sauces and three different hot sauces . Their homemade hot sauce was excellent! Chorizos was spectacular! Nobody’s gonna run it the way you want it! Thank you Manuel!Parking: I had no problem parking in front of the business.“
“The service was great and even though we had just finished having breakfast we stopped by to take a look at the spot and it was great ..drinks were great and even though we were stuffed Dave the manager was great he gave us a hint of their delicious appraiser ribs with pineapple...yummy... I will be back and taste the rest of the menu.“

“Delicious food!This is my fourth time going to the restaurant, I’ve always been greeted with a friendly smile and a hello.I ordered tacos al pastor, and i was amazed to see that they make the tortillas fresh in-house & not store bought ☺️I also had a torta al pastor and it was delicious and fresh. Over this beats any other taco place on long island, so much closer than queens when your craving some tacos and torta :)“
“This place is sooooooooo goooood! The food is extremely delicious ? perfect portions and the sauce is delectable! We love the tortas here! They come so quick and are very fairly priced. The agua de jamaica here makes me crave another cup. My new weekend favorite!“

Highly recommend such a fun chill time there is also a room to rent out for parties fun place fun time. The outside might not look as beautiful as the inside but don't be afraid to walk in“
“Food Nation Generation catered my party and they were great! Graham was so nice and easy to work with and my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was. Everything from presentation to taste was spot on! We can’t wait to invite them back to cater our next event. Keep up the great work!!!“
“My gf and I were on the hunt for some good authentic Mexican tacos. We stumbled upon this place on a whim doing a quick google search and the reviews were very good. So we decided to stop in for dinner and we quickly realized why! Everything was on point from the customer service, to the food/food quality and the portions. We will return…“

I'll recommend you the spod go and try it you will not regret it .Vegetarian options: Yes they will make what ever you want.Dietary restrictions: Yes good selectionKid-friendliness: Good selection“
“I don’t even know where to begin about how fantastic the food and service is. My sons and I came in for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed our tacos and quesadillas. Additionally, the empanadas totally live up to the hype of being the best empanadas! We tried the chicken, beef, Buffalo chicken and Oreo empanadas, and they were all amazing. We enjoyed it so much that we are planning to take my husband to pick up dinner there tonight or tomorrow. And get yourself a fruity drink here; it’s fresh and delicious. Support this local business; it’s phenomenal!“
“Ilya's service was amazing and professional from the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant. His warm demeanor and genuine hospitality made our dining experience truly memorable. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations tailored to our preferences. Throughout the meal, Ilya displayed impeccable attention to detail, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our plates were promptly cleared. His professionalism and genuine passion for hospitality truly set him apart. We look forward to returning soon, knowing that Ilya's exceptional service will be a highlight of our dining experience once again!!“
“It's a very cool spot with tons of character and fun. We went on trivia Wednesday. It felt like a fun neighborhood place where friends always meet. The whole restaurant sang happy birthday to my husband. It's definitely a great , chill place to get yummy comfort food.“
“So i googled gyros by my work just to try something new and found this spot. I drove there and then realized it’s a gas station lol ohhhh but can looks be deceiving i walked in and was already negatively set but i said screw it im here. This was one of the best beef gyro sandwiche and fries I've had in a very long time. Honestly delicious meat was tender fries crispy and the 2 sauces they put on fire… Definitely will recommend it to anyone the gyro wasn’t huge it was on the smaller side but flavor made up for that. Insane how some small hidden gas station shop can great such an amazing gyro definitely check it out i got the gyro was with lettuce tomato cabbage and pickles sound strange for a gyro but it just works… Will 100% be going back……$15 dollars well spent honestly..“
“Food was amazing ! Honestly the best birria tacos I’ve ever had… and I have tried many. The tacos were not oily.. like at all. They were cheesy and so flavorful. I would highly recommend! Also consome 10/10 couldn’t post photos because we inhaled our food way too fast ?“
“The staff and owners are amazing! Definitely a great spot to pick up great tasting food. So far they haven't disappointed at all. Tried their birria, el pastor, chorizo and pulled pork tacos.. love them all. Will be going back for more to satisfy the cravings of delicious food.“
“Honestly don't let the appearance of the deli fool you. The tacos are amazing . Lil whole In the wall spot in Farmingdale with great Mexican food. I was working in the area and was looking for some cheap eats and came across this place. The tacos were amazing and definitely not cheap, but we'll worth it. $15 dollars for 3 tacos. Delicious food and very kind workers! They have a good variety of snacks and hot food made fresh daily. The quality of chicken and freshness of the tacos was a 10/10! If ever in this area again I look forward to trying different food options. Amazing Mexican tacos!!! Love the authenticity of their Mexican food.“
“Such an underrated gem in Seaford. They have both a nice patio in the back decorated to give all the island vibes as well seating out front on the street side, and of course indoor availability. Service was very personable and quick from drinks through the end of the meal. They certainly don't skimp on the variety of options food wise from starters, quesadillas, tacos to wraps etc. Drink wise I went with the "Mammacita Needs A Margarita" aka a Spicy Marg. Loved the addition of cucumber to the drink to balance it and give it a little refreshing aspect. Food wise we just got a smattering of tacos (Luger, Tropical Lobstahhh, Birria, Al Pastor, Carne Smack Dat Asad and the Cali-Flower) just to try and sample a little of everything. First and foremost, the portions are legit - they don't skimp out so you'll be full or even have extra to take home. Taste wise, my top 3 were the Luger, Lobster and Cali-Flower. All very flavorful and unique in their own way. Definitely will be back once the weather heats up!“
“Have only done take out. The tacos are always fresh and I love the red salsa. Always get extra salsa. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is on the ground level with a cut out on the sidewalk for wheelchair access.“
“best place to get lunch at I recommend this place so much I be going here for my lunch time them BEC be slapping . I love the people that work there as well there kind to everyone and they don’t charge a lot like other delis !! ❤️❤️❤️???????“
“Still going strong and only better since they opened. They change tacos to seasons and they have something for everyone on the menu including vegan choices. Margaritas always on point and a chill relaxing spot to hang or grab dinner. A plus, The owner (JEFF) Is a sweet heart. only wants to please his customer and have them leave happy and wanting to come back. He is quick to get on anything you might need ! Go check it out you will be very happy you did!“
“Los mejores tacos, tortas y nachos que vas encontrar en Uniondale, pídete extra salsa me lo vas a agradecer. Por la calidad de la comida el precio vale la pena. Comúnmente siempre ordenó 3 órdenes de azada que cuestan $45. Hace 5 años frecuentó A.D taqueria, aparte el personal es muy amable; así que definitivamente te la recomiendo 100% no te vas a arrepentir Best Tacos in Long Island“
“If I could give 10 stars for customer service and recommendations I would. Ashley noticed I was a bit unsure as to what to order and she took initiative by greeting me in a pleasant and friendly manner. Ashley gave me her top 3 favorites and I chose the chipotle chicken bowl. Both Nick and Ashley were wonderful. I will definitely be coming back!“
“On a torrential rainy evening while the Best Buys parking lot in Westbury NY our car battery died -with my 93 year mother inside - as we waited (4 hours ) for AAA to come jump the car. The only bright light of the evening was Tacombi. Drenching wet, I was greeted by the most gracious and kind manager Alec who took such care and consideration of my mother and myself. We had delicious hot food and watemelon juice. Alec personally took extra care and interest in my elderly mother when she was having a most difficult night . I am so grateful -Thank you! thank you!“
“Saw an ad for this restaurant on social media and was interested in their $25 per person all you can eat tacos ( 2 hour time limit). They advertised $10 Margaritas as well, so my wife and I decided to give them a try on Taco Tuesday and made a reservation with inkind app.When we arrived, the parking lot was full, but we were able to find Street parking pretty quickly.You'll need to eat about 6 tacos before it's worth the $25 so be sure to come hungry and don't get appetizers like the chips and guac (which are extra $, though tasty). Unfortunately, the delicious margaritas served in fun vessels were not in fact $10 as advertised but $15, which was a bit of a disappointment.With the special, you can get up to 4 tacos per person at a time and they can be any combination from the variety of about 12 kinds that they have. Highly recommend the sushi-grade tuna lettuce cup taco, the Baja fish taco, and the fried chicken taco.Beware, they top everything with cilantro, so if you're not a fan of the flavor, this may not be your spot.The place was decorated well and had a very busy/live atmosphere so I definitely recommend reservations for the Tuesday special. It can get a bit loud too so definitely not an Intimate spot.The chairs were a bit painful as I'm a bigger guy and they had little bumps that poked into my legs making me need to keep readjusting, but they have benches along the wall also.Would definitely try again - Maybe their regular menu next time.“
“The birria and beef tacos are delicious, and so are each and every one of the sauces. I want to highlight the excellent service that the person who assisted me provided me. I definitely can't wait to go again to try more of the menu from this food truck in Uniondale ♥️♥️♥️“
“Nice little place..I usually order the Mahi Mahi tacos. You can get them.fried, grilled or blackened. I always get them blackened but I tell the to go easy on the seasonings so it's not too spicy. The order comes with 2 big tacos and a side which for 14 bucks is pretty good and the Fish is always fresh.“
“Food is delicious im addicted. Craving some munchies? Have a budget? Love authentic Mexican food? This is the spott! I do wish they were opened more later. Try their steak nachos best nachos on Long Island. The employees are always the sweetest.“

“(Translated by Google) I went for the first time and I ordered a cake and I was surprised at how good and big they are since I was already full with half and I enjoyed it a lot(Original)Fui por primera vez y pedí una torta y me sorprendió lo buenas y grandes que son ya que con la mitad y ya estaba lleno y la disfrute mucho“
“I had a birthday party for my 13 year old in their private space about a week and a half ago. The staff was A+. Service of beverages was incredible and the trays of food were replenished as needed. Everyone at the party raved about the food. An awesome place to have a gathering with no stress. I was able to come in a little earlier to do a LITTLE decorating. I will say the space is absolutely beautiful. Love the floral wall. It was awesome to enjoy a party that I threw. No stress. I was responsible for bringing dessert, CAKE. We will definitely be having another event in the future. Very satisfied with both service and food. A special thank you Michelle for helping me with all details.“
“Usually there during the day and usually see Christine who is the best. Food is exceptionally good for a local pub and the menu is pretty extensive. When we come in for dinner, there are a number of ladies who have been there for a while and always take good care of us. Great Salads, Burgers, and of course Wings.“
“Ordered takeout a couple of times before and went to their Easter brunch event (which was phenomenal). The staff were lovely / genuinely caring and you can tell, really wanted all of the kids (and adults) to have a great time. Love this place and will be going back. Thank you Madison and team!“
“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“
