Great place for a quick bite or a full meal. Delicious food and excellent drinks 🍸 I appreciate that flour tortillas can be swapped to corn tortillas.

Had the birria taco and the sweet potato taco - both were great! My friend enjoyed the vegan options. Pina colada was a little weak, but delicious. Don’t listen to the negative reviews - it’s not the quality you’d find in Texas or California but it’s a clean, delicious, and cute taco place!

The tacos were great and Service was fast. My sons say it’s five star. Met the owner and he was very friendly. Would definitely recommend it to anybody.

Honestly not sure what all the low rated reviews are about. I've been there twice now and have gotten the Birria and BLT tacos and fries and both times everything was amazing. Sure It was pricey but you can say the same for most restaurants these days. I'm sure there are places with similar pricing but way lower quality food. I hope anyone reading this can look past those reviews and give it a try.

The food was ohk , nothing crazy or being
hyped about. The restaurant was empty .
Service was ohk as we waited 20 minutes to
get the main course taco meal after our
appetizer . Honestly not a recommendations
to others for Tacos as we smell stale food . As well the packet vipes on table please dont ever use them , your hands will smell a dirty sweat cloth after using them . I need to take a nice hand bath to get rid of the smell. Disgusting...

I had a very disappointing experience. My friends and I walked in, and we waited for about a minute with no person in sight to be greeted. This place is very beachy and a nice vibe on the inside. As we were seated and given menus, the waitress had asked us if we had any questions. We asked about the “Tuesday Special”. She proceeds to tell us that it is $5 off three tacos or $3 off two tacos. We ended up ordering the margarita tower $40). We get the tower and it taste like straight up juice with a plash of alcohol…worst margaritas we’ve ever had. We order Queso and guac with chips. We get them, the guac is delicious but the queso was like a jello texture (barely warmed up)… we order our food and we all get tacos. As the waitress is bringing over our food. Her hair is tied to the side and hanging in the trays of food she’s holding. She puts my food down in front of me and there’s a piece of her hair in my food… It was clearly her hair since my hair is a completely different color. At this point we just want to leave. We quickly eat and ask for the check. We received the check with the Tuesday special, not taken off. I end up telling her and she proceeds to tell me “sometimes the computer is confusing”. Accidents do happen, but I wasn’t sure if she was lying to us trying to get the extra $13 for us to pay. She takes the money off for us and we left paying $150 for this horrible experience.. i wish i had taken pictures of the queso and the check to show proof.

Loved it. Plenty of fun new flavors for my vegetarian wife and meat loving self to try (which is the whole point of a taco bar in our opinion). Waiter was very hospitable and the overall vibe was quite enjoyable. Definitely a bit pricey, but in my experience that's a given in most taco bars. Would definitely recommend checking out.

so accomodating to any eater
one of the only places the family and I agree upon.

Vegetarian options: they make salad with quinoa mango salsa tofu almonds tofu bean tacos while the family gets steak and chicken. we all love the guac and chips.

Dietary restrictions: they accomodate for all

Kid-friendliness: so nice to kids and get their order right every time.

It was way overpriced. A burrito for more than $20. There is a service charge for takeout and another layer of credit card charge, which is pretty insane and annoying. This is just Long Island and a town center, not middle of nowhere America where there’s predominantly cash usage. Just a sneaky and undignified way to squeeze out more margin.

Food was ok, not authentic but tasty-ish. Staff looked annoyed. Place was pretty empty. Won’t come back

Held my son's 16th birthday there with family in the private back room. Everything was phenomenal and my family raved about the food! A special shout out to our server for his attention to detail; he even delivered birthday churros with a candle! :)

Place looked cute and I wanted to like it, but I don't see myself coming back. The chips and salsa were good. The guacamole tasted like it was canned store-bought rather than freshly made- the waiter did take it off the bill for us. The tacos are not available ala carte, only as a combo with rice and beans (odd). You can change your side for an extra dollar. The tacos themselves were each fairly bland, and everything was heavily salted. The birria taco comes with a sauce rather than a consome. The mango pieces on top of the Caribbean taco weren't ripe. It was all edible, but not somewhere I'd return to. I guess this may be why they were empty on a Sunday evening.

Food FAIL. Steer clear... VERY clear. We were in the mood for tacos and figured why not give this spot a try. The place was quasi empty. However, we've had five star meals at places a whole lot emptier. The menu is not in the customer's favor, considering you are forced to buy tacos as a combo with rice and beans (2 tacos $17+ and 3 tacos $22+)... WAY overpriced. Switching up sides will cost you extra - $1. The supposed 'hand chopped' guacamole was absolutely pre-purchased and was told it wasn't - I even know the brand they used, and it's not the good kind. The server was kind enough to take it off the bill, but it set the tone for what was to come. The only decent tacos were the Birria and Korean (one on my plate, the other on my wife's), other than that - no flavor whatsoever. I was not going to make another complaint as if this is their offering, I'm not going to be pleased regardless of what's brought out. The rice and beans were extremely salty, and I'm almost positive that they're from the can as well. The tortilla chips were very good, I'll give them that - but the Verde sauce was heavy-handed on the lime, while the hot sauce didn't have a pleasant flavor. I've toured all around the country, my review track record shows that I'm not out to get a freebie like others out there. This was just an unpleasant experience... the only positive was I was sharing it with my wife. Steer clear, not recommended.

Food was terrible stay away, no authentic flavors, most of the food was made with mozzarella cheese including street corn, guacamole was out of a jar. The place is a joke, I should have realized on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty (red flag)
