“⭐ Short 5-Star Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
El Paso Taco has amazing food! I tried the torta al pastor and the tostada, and both were absolutely delicious. Great flavor, fresh ingredients, and authentic taste. Highly recommended!“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“Food is always good but today was one of those days ... tortillas where not the same and pineapples for the al pastor where not grilled as if you guys ran out and just sliced and added at least mix it with the meat ... I own a restaurant so I know how things go sometimes but pls .. consistency is key ...“

“First time dining here and overall a really solid experience. The food was enjoyable — the lemon orzo soup was comforting, the lamb gyro taco had great flavor, and the chicken kebab skewers was cooked well. Drinks were a standout, especially the dirty raspberry martini, which was excellent.

The vibe is casual and relaxed. There were a couple small service hiccups, but nothing that took away from the meal. Overall, we enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“Food was outstanding, just finished my meal and had to write a review. Hidden gem as another said. Probably ordering again Sunday.“

“Right Coast Taqueria provided our lunch for our Teacher Appreciation week in Smithtown. The faculty raved about the food and presentation!! They accommodated food allergies. Great business to work with!!“

“Had an amazing meal at Rocco’s Tacos in Huntington! Camden was our bartender and was so personable and attentive. Joe took great care of us and made the most delicious tableside guacamole. We’re thrilled to have this new spot in town and will absolutely be back—often!“

“Have ordered many times from Ole’s. The food is delicious and service friendly and warm. Today, decided to eat in so we could try the nachos crispy and warm in the store. They were amazing!!! The other items were also great, my kids loved all of it. At the end, we had a chance to meet one of the owners, Manny. He was very friendly and warm, chatted with my boys and then surprised them with a warm churro. Needless to say, we’ll be coming back even more frequently now. Yum yum yum.“

“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 came here on a thurs even around 6pm...Was pretty crowded but got a table in the middle..The sound level is pretty high at 3/4 capacity but somehow you seem to flow with it because of the atmosphere... People enjoying good mex food are more enjoyable to be around for some reason..anyway...lighting as with most place is difficult to read menu but once the order was in,alot of fun...I noticed the food to be very FRESH...I immediately tasted that in the beans on my Mexican special and the Flautas,chimichanga etc were all delicious stuffed and perfectly cooked!..Fajita steak was so nicely marinated and charred but med inside..Perfect!..Wait staff were all very pleasant....I enjoyed my visit and will defin visit during a slow day,maybe lunch for a lil more quiet....“

“awesome menu items great service“

“So authentic and great service! The worry dolls were an added bonus as I was there with my daughter. Perfect birthday, love the philanthropy also! Guacamole was the best I’ve ever had.“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Staff was beyond friendly and helped me with some suggestions since it was my first visit. Everything was so good and I really liked that the protein you picked was cooked fresh right in front of you. There are so many things I didn't get that I want to try. Will definitely be back.“

“great food, fun atmosphere and great music!“

“Been wanting to try Mesita and we chose Valentine's Day for our first time. We went with another couple and sat in a comfy curved booth in the center of the restaurant. It's a beautiful restaurant inside. The atmosphere was energetic but not too loud. Perfect for what we were looking for. The food did not disappoint either. We had freshly made guacamole as an app. We also had the slow roasted pork and a burrito bowl. Food was outstanding. Sangria was delicious and the churro dessert was to die for. The service was excellent as well. Can't say enough good things about this place. We'll definitely be back sooner than later.“

“Wow what a fantastic find! We decided to try this new Mexican place, and it did not disappoint. Every single dish was packed with flavor. The tamale was perfectly moist and savory, and the taco Pescadero was fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also devoured the steak quesadilla, which was cheesy and full of tender steak. Don't even get me started on the empanadas—both the chili empanada and the chicken and cheese empanada were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and try more!“

“I found this after my midnight workout driving down DPA coming home from the gym. Little pricey(but what isnt) but all in all, the food was down right delicious. Then a week later, I got a craving for it again. Mix and match what you want in the wraps or bowl, LIttle of this , little of that, put that sauce here on the side. The hot salsa has a kick.“

“No one was in the restraurant. A mexican restraurant empty on a Tues. I was skeptical but ate anyway. Food was great. Just apps but we were both pleased. 2 for 1 drinks as well. Only complaint was that we decided to pay cash after reading a credit card incident in the past“

“❤ My husband and I love Curbside in South Hempstead. Their crunchwraps are big enough to share. Our favorite is the Cowboy Crunchwrap with extra sauteed onions. I could eat only this for the rest of my life, provided, of course, we have sour cream!“

“Great place. Food is tasty. Adam who works there is super helpful and friendly. Whenever I see Adam, he is smiling and personable and caring. Adam rocks!“

“Love it there always a good time“

“I’m obsessed with the new team at Nelly’s. Alba and her team are whipping up delicious food that we can’t get enough of. If you’re looking for well made Mexican, you have to give Nelly’s a shot.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Some of their food is not the same and I noticed that it’s on certain days when they have the younger ones working in the kitchen. They need to have quality control when the more experienced cooks are not working..“

“I can't say enough good things about the staff at this location. Yesterday my daughter was car sick in the parking lot before we even came in, staff came out and checked on us, brought her water. so sweet! food was great! staff amazing! definitely recommend!“

“The tacos, the nachos, the burritos, the quesadillas, this is the place you never knew you needed!! By the way they have more yummy choices, I just haven’t gotten through them yet!!“

“good food , quick service“

“Love the food obviously 🙄 love the location delicious 😋“

“The food is good. As long as you go before 5pm, you can get a 9.99 burrito meal which includes a drink. That price does not include shrimp or steak, or queso. The burritos are huge so it could feed two people of a smaller appetite. The quality of ingredients are also good. Great alternative to Chipotle.“

“I cannot believe I lived in west Babylon for 7 years and only tried this place 2 years ago. I passed by so many times. The food is fantastic and my wife and I keep going back for more. Try the burbon chicken with anything. It’s not a dine in place, so just take out and I promise you will be back. Food is affordable and I highly recommend their taco salad that’s served in a crunchy bowl…. Or their nachos!“

“Went on a whim and was very surprised at the ambiance and hospitality. Food and portions was very generous as well as delicious. The hostess recommended the fried shrimp tacos and we were blown away! I love the fact you have a beverage fridge there and grab any drink you want! I will definitely be going back.“

“Every time I'm in the area I make sure to stop by Mangoes. The staff is super friendly, atmosphere is spot on, and the food is delicious. Portions are huge. This time we got fresh guac made tableside, piña coladas, jambalaya, and a combination plate. Everything was was excellent and I'm looking forward to my next visit.“

“The food was delicious. I ordered a grilled chicken taco and classic beef taco. The food was the perfect temperature and the seasoning with sour cream on top was great. It was a buy one get one free promotion from Ubereats.
I did not dine inside but I did a pick up for my order and the cashier was pretty quick and friendly during the brief interaction.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hired Cochinita Porky Food Truck for our annual neighborhood Halloween parade and block party, and they did an amazing job! The service was fast, the food was made to order, super fresh, and everyone loved it. The kids especially enjoyed the playful pig-themed truck with its glowing LED eyes — such a fun touch! 🐷✨
I highly recommend them for any private event — delicious food, great people, and an awesome vibe!“

“I love their food and the customer service is great. Always so friendly and helpful.“

“Been going to Moes on Tuesday nights with the family for a really long time now. My Kids now eat adult meals but it's still a tradition. Great Food, Great Service, and really Great Times. Everything is always fresh and delicious.“

“One of the restaurants where the food is amazing. I like the taste. It's good. Esmeralda and the other employees are very friendly. There are options on the menu. The restaurant is very clean and the bathrooms are very clean too. Thank you for having people like this working at Moes.“

“great food and strong drinks !! love this place“

“I’ve tried Qdoba maybe once or twice before, and it’s always good - but the STAFF at this specific location, especially the lady by the casher was over-the-top helpful, friendly, and patient.

She acted like a caring business owner and not just a paid employee - amazing.

She helped us download the app, and even offered us a bag to carry our leftovers when she noticed we were carrying individual containers of leftover food out - proactive and genuinely caring!

Will stop in again just for the red carpet treatment, to say nothing of the amazing food!

Oh, and Chipotle diehards: guac is free here!“

“I went on Grand Opening Day—1/3/26. This was my first time visiting a QDOBA Mexican Eats. I downloaded the app and redeemed my reward of free chips and queso sauce. I got a blend of the regular and spicy queso, which came out delicious.

I also ordered three ground beef tacos, which had the right amount of spicy seasoning, and the free guacamole was tasty and fresh.

Customer service was also superb. The owner opened the door for me when I entered the premises, and one of the managers, Michael, apologized for the sell out of all 100 free burritos, which were gone within one half hour of the 11:00 am opening. Logan, a staff member, impressed me when he asked if he could remove my empty container.

There is a drive-thru, and the place is clean and tidy.“

“The food here is amazing, like actually some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Just be warned that the online ordering system on their website is not connected in store, they will not receive your order and you will have to re-order in store. Also none of the employees speak English, but that’s pretty expected for anywhere with authentic delicious Mexican food!“

“Food was delicious and the service was great. We have been there twice and planing to make it a regular restaurant for weekend dinners. Highly recommend you try it out.“

“Omg spicy mayo on a burrito? Yes!! Everything’s great, steak is the best anywhere. Good portion and prices Accommodating and very nice staff What can I say. I eat here 2-3 times a week Ask for the spicy shrimp!!“

“This location is by far the best one out of all the other locations. Food is always fresh, drinks are always made with love, service is always attentive and that alone is greatly appreciated. I went on a random Thursday and my son and I had a blast! There was live entertainment that we both really enjoyed.“

“Great spot! Walked in on a whim because I was in the neighborhood and decided to check the place out. Couldn’t have been happier, food was great, staff was amazing and quick. Definitely my new go to spot when I am in town, which is often enough. Thank you for the excellent service and food.

Came back…
They have Frozen Daiquiris now!!! The crunchy steak tacos are amazing!“

“Good to go anytime. Fast fresh and the way you want it.“
