“I brought a small group of developmentally disabled adults to Moe's in Centereach for dinner. The staff were patient with them and helpful too . All of the food was good. There was a nice variety of drinks from the Coke Freestyle machine, plus a machine for iced tea, which I like.“

“I would like to give a big shout out and extend my appreciation to Taco Island, a food truck parked in the Carvel parking lot in St James, for their delicious food and exeptional customer service! The quality and freshness of their cuisine are consistently high, and the staff is always courteous and grateful for customers' business. We regularly order from them and have never experienced any difficulties. Tonight, despite a high volume of orders, they mistakenly provided the incorrect quesadilla. However, they promptly contacted me to rectify the situation and kindly offered to deliver the correct quesadilla to my residence to prevent our food from getting cold. Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction is truly remarkable!!“

“Cabo Fresh in Smithtown is always a great experience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well made every time I visit. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste high quality, and everything is prepared quickly without feeling rushed. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy your meal, this location never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“What better way to christen the brand new hot tub than with quesidilllas and margaritas from Burrito Blvd.!“

“the food was good, but they need a better air filter system the smell of burning isn't appealing while you eat. the place was clean, the servers were great. it was just another version of taco bell mixed with chipotle. but this is just my VYI's keeping it real view,we enjoyed the bowls, plenty of food in each. we will go back next month to try their salad.“

“Never disappoints Great portions and staff Love the music and the atmosphere food comes out fast and hot love the decorations in the place overall a great experience“

“We ordered take out after seeing this place on social media everything was amazing I especially enjoyed the Birria egg rolls which had amazing crunch and packed with flavors, everyone inside greeted us with smiles as well great place plan to go again“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful service. I go there often I highly recommend it“

“Got 3 tacos combo, double rice, and a side of guac. With tip it was 15$ - amazing price.

Top-tier service, great cashier.

Guac is great, pork taco was great. Chicken taco was super dry and nasty. Steak taco was okay.

Rice was straight mushy. Could be from the drive home though.

My main issue is the sauce, asked for the spiciest they had and it didn’t have a hint of spice. It tasted sweet, a mild sauce from Taco Bell is spicier.

Really confused by it, my girlfriend who can’t handle pepper said it was good and had a “little kick to it”. She can’t even handle green Tabasco without freaking out… I NEED ME SOME HEAT MIGUEL!“

“the Pico is always fresh and the service is great“

“Best around, hands down.
Maria has put a lot of resources into the place to create the ultimate dining experience. The tapas nights are top notch. The gambas, black bean soup, beef nachos and fajitas are not to be beat by anyone. We stop regularly and are always delighted. Highly recommend. So many margarita variations we can't even count them all.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I came in just to grab a quick bite to eat but everything looks so delicious.

I don't know what they call it but I tried a cactus leaf and it was delicious. It has such a flavor that is similar to I guess an artichoke but also very different at the exact same time.

I had two chicken tacos and one chorizo. I love the fact that they have a bar where you can add as much salsa and toppings as you want.

So delicious.

The place is so clean and spotless it's not even funny. Guys behind the counter are awesome and I already be back.“

“Delicious Mexican food at a great price, from a local fixture!
Everything fresh and fast. Stopped in to pick up a couple burritos and the chicken grill salad. Batch of fresh chips and house salsa, excellent.
Steak burrito was more than enough for one, and packed with flavor.
Will definitely return soon, highly recommend!“

“Tried their food for the first time and it was delicious. My kids and I will definitely be going back.
The only thing is that I wish they’d tell you when you call in an order that its cash only. Because I went there and I didn’t have cash only my card. However, they were generous and helped me out since it was my first time there.“

“Stopped in for lunch. Restaurant and counter area with food were very clean. I had a bowl with the honey chicken, yellow rice, pinto beans, corn salsa, shredded cheese, and guacamole. The honey chicken was very tender and flavorful, so good!! My husband had a bowl in the fried tortilla, which was fresh and crunchy. He ordered the honey and shredded chicken. Both were excellent. He loaded his bowl with more than I can list. It was an enjoyable lunch. For 2 bowls and 2 bottles of water $35. Out of all these chains, this was the best for us by far.“

“Great place to celebrate & outdoor tables in summer to enjoy with your dogs…“

“Deliciosos tacos 🌮 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽“

“Friendly staff, great variety of food!🌮🌯“

“The food was amazing and very filling, i think the portion for the price is a good deal. My three birria tacos and small horchata was $19. As i was sitting down after ordering a lady was already bringing chips and salsa. The cashier Noah was always ready to help you even if he was busy with another task. All food came out within five minutes of ordering. amazing service and food“

“I had been to this location before and the service wasn't the best. I wanted to give it another chance and went there yesterday, Sunday. There was a new girl at the counter. She is very attentive and friendly. That changed my perspective. Thanks to her, I will be back. Chicos Tex-Mex, that girl is fast and very helpful.“

“Our go-to place when we want the BEST FOOD at a reasonable price!!! Can't wait for the newest renovation to be completed. Opening back up on January 9th 😍🤩🙌🥩🍗“

“Our go to Mexican restaurant. Authentic and fresh Mexican food. Drinks are amazing. Natural margaritas are perfect. Highly recommend for happy hour, Taco Tuesday specials. But good any time or day of the week for dinner or drinks. We love Claudia and Rosita. They are always welcoming and friendly. Service is great too!“

“I have lived in Patchogue for 25 years. I remember when there was no Mexican Food in Patchogue at all! Lindo Mexico is a *special* place. There's fancier, there's more festive... but Lindo Mexico is *special*. If you want off-the-charts deliciousness that is authentic, go to Lindo Mexico. Proud to have this restaurant in my village. It is an authentic Mexican Food experience that will make you feel like you are there: in Mexico. That is the highest compliment I can think of. Thanks, Lindo Mexico!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Delicious, always enough to eat! Fast delivery!“

“On busy nights when we want something quick, healthy, and satisfying, the CrossFit menu is a standout—chicken and shrimp always cooked to perfection, and the salsa and guacamole are always fresh and flavorful. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is just as reliable. Oscar, the owner, is exceptional—always attentive, efficient, kind, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for every customer. We’re grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood!“

“I've come here a few times . Every time the food is great . I've had huaraches , chicken tacos , baleadas , papusas , rice and beans , and avocado salad . The owner speaks English so it's easy to communicate what I want and he's friendly. The prices are good too ! I eat at a lot of latin food places to compare .“

“los tacos de birria con su consome son lo mejor y si pides un agua fresca de tamarindo .. los mejores que e probado ...“

“very very good food. fast service. no heartburn...9.5 on my taco scale 👍“

“Son ricas las Tortas y los tacos 🌮, se los recomiendo 😋😋😋“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

“A bunch of us went after work to celebrate a couple of birthdays… food and drinks were amazing!! Portion sizes … well let’s just say… I will eat for 2-3 days!! We had a great time service was also great!“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“We come here often for lunch. The buffalo and Vanessa burritos are our favs plus the quesadillas are the best around and huge. This review is specifically about catering order I placed over the weekend. We made a very last minute order for a taco party pack and Avocados went out of their way to accommodate. The food was great and large portions as always.“

“Nice place and attendants“

“Checked them out today. I tried the steak taco...it was absolutely delicious ! Staff was friendly, restaurant is clean everything's was fresh . Definitely worth checking out“

“I just got done sobbing uncontrollably for 15 minutes because I realized I forgot half of my Pueblo Burrito in my purse. This place has me considering exposing my self to listeria so that I can tantalize my taste buds one more time 😭

On the real, Vallarta is not talked about enough. We love their chicken and steak platter, kids chicken quesadillas, nachos and OBVIOUSLY the Puebla Burrito. It’s so fresh and healthy.

Kelly in the front is the most lovely person to yap with and the guys in the back are always smiling. If you live further than 5 min away don’t even bother calling your food order in because it will get cold, they make it so fast.

Cuando estás allí, eres de la familia.

WE LOVE YOU VALLARTA 🫶“

“My fiancé and I visited for the first time yesterday, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible, and the service was top-notch. We had the tortilla soup, empanadas, and seafood paella all perfectly timed and delicious. Don’t forget while drinking their delicious homemade sangria. We’ll definitely be coming back regularly!“

“Came to write my review so fast. Chicken tacos were delicious. I got them doordashed and they were still so hot, double wrapped with a soft corn shell so they didn’t get soggy, and then individually wrapped in tin foil. I appreciate this level of care because tacos can get messy. The chicken was tender and juicy and the flavors were on point, and the tacos were filled well for the price! Highly recommend“

“Los recomiendo asen rica comida“
