“I haven't been here in a while. I used to live off of their asada wet burritos. I just visited this past Sunday and tried their California burrito without beans and man oh man. It was too good. looking forward to try more things from them!“

“great food, love the homewrecker 💃🌶🍅🌮🌯🔥“

“So my second time writing a review for this place and it deserves it ....Just recently tried breakfeast there and although its not that much different then a typical American breakfest that i am used to i would suggest trying it

Changing up potatoes for plantains , those pickled onions and a litle cheese this is the place to come if youre someone who didnt grow up eating this type of authentic food

Makes me wish i had a Dominican gramdma who made me this dish my whole life ....try this place and if not tu mucho loca or o

Support local businesses that get it right!!!

Places like this make me never want to leave this neighborhood and make life better as if you dont try different things you are boring !“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“My mom has been purchasing their Rosca de Reyes since 1997 when we lived in Brooklyn. Now she goes to the one in the city. They are delicious and well made. Just perfect! My children love it as well as all my family. They are by far the best ones in town.“

“Enjoyed brunch today w/ my daughter we both enjoyed everything!!! Definitely going back the horchata was AMAZING!! So was the service !“

“Would highly recommend coming to try the Happy Hour menu and Taco Tuesday tacos/margaritas and sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view of the water. There was a bit of miscommunication about the Happy Hour specials on Fridays (no longer available on Fridays but are on other weekdays), as others have mentioned, but Wilmer was responsive over email and generously resolved the issue, which we appreciated. The outdoor bartender Matt, was friendly, kind, and super helpful - he made the visit 5 stars for us. Raw Oysters and the shrimp taco were both good. The birria taco (sauce quite spicy), ribeye taco, and corn ribs were excellent. Chips and salsa were great too. The menu has a lot of creative options and we look forward to trying more items.

“Guac Time Mexican Grill provides an excellent modern twist on classic Mexican fast-food staples with a completely halal menu. The build-your-own bowls and burritos are packed with fresh ingredients, crisp toppings, and very generous portions of meat. The guacamole is remarkably smooth and flavorful, making it a highly recommended addition to whatever you order. The store layout is clean, bright, and casual, offering a highly satisfying option for a quick and wholesome dinner.“

“If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further. This small family-owned shop is putting out some of the best tacos I’ve had in this area. Everything was fresh and delicious. It’s a tiny space with a big personality, and the service from the family is top-notch. A must-visit!“

“❤ 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!“

“Me and my girlfriend loves going to this place for date night!!! the spot is so beautiful with the mexican culture artwork, the party lights, and even have a dj that plays excellent spanish music. the food is is A1… and when i say that anything you order is a safe bet! I MEAN IT!!! The drinks too are the bomb and they don’t skimp out on the feel good drinks if you know what i mean. Carlos is usually our waiter when we come and he makes sure to take care of us! LOVE THIS PLACE“

“I’ve ordered delivery from them twice now & both times those carne asada tacos were chefs kiss! 💋 they fill those tacos up (and double layer tortillas too) and add this delicious guacamole sauce/salsa… 10/10 and will be ordering more. $4.50 per taco is worth it here, period. You get your moneys worth.“

“We had a great experience at El Mercadito! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented with vibrant colors. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

The portion sizes were excellent, giving great value for the price. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommend El Mercadito if you’re looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

My only feedback is that there is just one restroom shared by both men and women. The restroom was very clean, but personally, I would have preferred separate restrooms.“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“Good food, nice fun ambiance and good Sangria!“

“Food was good, staff friendly and they had sports on.“

“I visited with my wife and the service was quick and great, Anastasia patiently answered all of our questions! We got food off of their Vegan Menu which featured staples like Cauliflower and Tofu. I personally enjoyed the Caulifower coated and fried over loaded Nachos. Perfect meal for a late night of fun, thanks so much 🙏🏾“

“I finally came here to try the famous crispy tacos, and my first bite was literally, “Whoa!” They were crispy, fresh, and so delicious. I also ordered a chicken bowl, which was very tasty with a generous portion.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items. I honestly don’t understand why the rating isn’t higher. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, great food—a true hidden gem!“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“The best Mexican food in Long Island Definitivamente 100% recomendado la mejor comida mexicana en la isla“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“
