“Great food. Great owner. Support mall business“

“The place is very well put together. the food was very good and the service was great. we stopped in for a quick drink and stayed over an hour and had lunch.“

“Very delicious food. I work in East New York, and I saw many truck drivers, workers stopping at lunchtime. I went to the restaurant, the vibe is so cool, and the tacos I ordered had different and good flavors. Fresh food, tasty, and good customer 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.

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.“

“Kaur & Sunita were very kind in greeting me & my friend. They both were patient and gentle in preparing our meals. My veggie quesadilla was delicious and made exactly as I asked.
Veggie Quesdilla: sprinkled with light cheese, bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, red cabbage, spinach, & tofu.

I'll be back from New Jersey.“

“We had a really great experience here. We ordered a steak torta, steak tacos, birria tacos, jamaica, and horchata. The jamaica was very refreshing and the horchata was sweet and delicious. The steak was tender and well seasoned and the torta ingredients all tasted very fresh. The server was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great, the place is very clean and nicely decorated, and we enjoyed listening to music by various Mexican artists throughout our meal. We will definitely be making Sivar Food Mexican Grill our go-to local Mexican spot!“

“Amazing and deliciously 🤤 addictive . The fundito with chorizo is so good !!!“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away!

We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“Tried them out for the first time, really excellent!

My wife and I got a their guac and chips an Al Pastor burrito and a grilled chicken platter. We kept saying with everything...wow super fresh. Everything was ultra surprisingly fresh and delicious. Perfect portions, delicious flavors not overly seasoned.

Very cool interior decor super clean, we will be back 100%. DELICIOUS“

“We got the homemade guacamole, along with carnitas & pastor tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious! Would definitely eat and recommend this place for tacos.
The only thing I would suggest for them to do, is maybe put a curtain over the eye sore in the room.“

“I usually come here after dancing with some friends who happen to be Mexican, and they enjoyed it as much as I do. It's a solid choice for a fast food stop. They're open until 3am, at least on weekends, and the staff always maintains a pleasant attitude and provides cordial service. If you're in the area, hungry, and want something quick, tasty, and reasonably priced, I'd recommend this place.“

“You had experience. Service was nice. The ambience was very pleasant. Cheeseburger, fajitas and tacos are all pretty good. Chicken salad like lettuce with some stretch and chicken dropped on it. I'll definitely go back. Might skip the salad“

“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.“

“Simply the best….. better than all the rest. Our go to spot for authentic food and it always delivers. Family owned, not some soulless chain. Support a local eatery today!“

“We had the best time celebrating a special birthday at Ondas by Fuego
From the moment we walked in, everything just felt right. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family night out. The kids absolutely loved the food (which is always a win), and every dish that came to the table was delicious and beautifully presented.
What really made the experience stand out was the service—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s not always easy to find a place that checks all the boxes for both adults and kids, but this one truly delivered.
Such a memorable night, and definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“This place was awesome! The atmosphere was definitely one for the books. The Margarita flight was sooooo good along with the food. The customer service was definitely top notch. Everyone was smiling and had a positive attitude. Constantly checking in to make sure you're doing okay. 10 Stars, will be returning“

“I had such a great experience at Cantina Mexican Restaurant! The bartenders and servers were absolutely amazing,super attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
The atmosphere is fun and lively, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy yourself, and everything was clean and well kept. I truly had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a good vibe!“

“Todo es increíble,la atención es muy buena“

“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.“

“I often order chicken steak and shrimp nachos to get all proteins and it's pretty delicious to me. But they can get soggy fast if you don't eat it fast enough. Their tacos are surprisingly low key good especially birria beef tacos and crispy chicken tacos. I would say the overall price is medium or a bit higher but worth it.

Also been a regular at this restaurant for years and pretty hyped that they came up with new things including sushi tacos like (shrimp tempura sushi taco, coco-pastor chicken sushi taco)

Took a pic so you can see what those unusual foods look like“

“awesome menu items great service“

“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+“

“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“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 🙏🏾“

“Buena comida las muchachas muy atentas se los recomiendo“

“Best Delivery Food Around! Food is always hot, delivery is extremely quick, people are great and the food is the BEST!!!!“

“Honestly, the food here is great. My go to is Honey Chipotle Chicken. Every bite is enjoyable, the portion sizes are large (and cost effective) and the staff are all great to their customers. The small talk doesn't feel forced either.

There's no eating in anymore but honestly it's good that way and I'm all for the business interests so they can keep things running smoothly and I can keep coming back for years to come.“

“great fresh food at affordable prices. staff is always nice“

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

“First time there and the food and the staff were great. Bear tacos and the margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back.“

“Had amazing cinco de Mayo!! Thanks for the t shirts ! Great service great food best drinks and beyond great dessert.“

“I've ordered from this location a couple of times and every time i'm always greeted fast and kindly. The portions are really great for the price and the taste is really good as well! If you're in the area you should definitely stop by and try some of these great items!“
