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 bland and they try to oversell “visitors”… and review your check carefully! They added things we didn’t order!

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)

Way OVERPRICED! We went on a Tuesday which the menu says 2$ tacos for taco Tuesday but NOPE they don’t let you do that. They force you to have a combo so it’s actually 14.95 and up charges for seafood or meat. As you can see my 2 tacos went from being $4 to 18.45$? What??? Lol
And what’s with the 2.99 service charge?
The food is not worth the price.
The margarita tower was watered down and not worth 39$
Waitress was nice though.
83$ plus tip for an afternoon Tuesday lunch is WILDDDDD
Won’t be back.

Way over priced, you can't just order 2 tacos you have to up grade to the meal. Drinks were watered down and no specials available on Thursday just bc it was music on main. Definitely would not recommend!!!!

I just want to give a shoutout to High Tide Taco Bar. We’ve ordered the family fajita and taco packages from them twice now and both times have been outstanding! The food is plentiful, extremely delicious and fresh, and ordering with Jeff has been a breeze. I love this gem of a restaurant! ?

I really liked this place up until today. My dinner was not the best, but my mom's was Inedible. She got a philly taco and the 2 pieces of beef she recieved were nothing but FAT!! It was disgusting! The waiter was not very attentive and barely said sorry. We were the only ones in there at dinner time what does that tell you? It was not a good experience and very awkward because he was standing around staring at us the whole time. The worst was the price $90 for a few tacos soda and Pina cold as. I won't be returning

I’ve eaten here for years and the food is very good. However, recently they changed their pricing structure, and I will no longer come back. If you order more than one taco, your order now automatically becomes a combo meal (with rice and beans) even if you don’t want a combo with rice and beans. They will not let you order multiple individual tacos. This is not clear from how the pricing is presented on the menu and feels deceptive.
Best tacos I'm farmingdale.
