Taco Restaurants near Hempstead

“Amazing. Got carne asada baleadas, they were super good. Then got carne asada platter. That was one of best things I've ever had. Would definitely recommend. The menu was completely in spanish, I don't know if they have menus in english.“

“SO GOOD. 10/10 highly recommend eating here. The carne asada bowl was stacked with all kinds of flavors. The salsa was my favorite kind. Meat was juicy and flavorful. Jamaica agua fresca was really good and went perfectly as well. Everything on the menu looked amazing.“

“Shared 4 assorted tacos (fish, lengua, birria & carnitas) with my wife for snack, craved for more. I don’t usually get Lengua (tongue) because of funky after taste from previous experience. At Mala Madre, lengua was so tender, butter and beefy. Will definitely come back for more.“

“I been here twice already for dinner. The chef and host very friendly. Food is delicious, vegetables and fish cooked perfectly grilled or fried. Stuffed calamari A plus. This place is small and has a nice bodega feel to it. Hope it stays that way. Feels like a hidden secret gem.“

“Very nice place, employees are very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Steak was the best. Only thing is that the price is just a bit expensive. $6 to $7 dollars for a small taco, not worth it. But you can take advantage of their 2 dollars margarita on Tuesday.“

“I was here last night around 8:30pm for the first time and my experience was 10 out of 10. I had the guava coconut margarita on the rocks and it was what I needed after working a 12 hour shift. I'll definitely be returning not because of the great food but because of how kind and pleasant the staff was!!!!!“

“I am not one to write reviews, but this place deserves top marks all around. Drinks while you wait, terrific service, food that hits the spot, and you do not feel rushed to leave. How many places can you say that about? There is always something new to try, but you can always fall back to a favorite as well. The staff alone is worth the trip alone, Steph knows the menu and gives the best recommendations.“

“It’s a owner operator business, Manuel, is a star! Went in for lunch with my good friend he was Very attentive. We had the shrimp quesadilla and chicken crunch wrap! Three different mild sauces and three different hot sauces . Their homemade hot sauce was excellent! Chorizos was spectacular! Nobody’s gonna run it the way you want it! Thank you Manuel!Parking: I had no problem parking in front of the business.“

“Delicious food!This is my fourth time going to the restaurant, I’ve always been greeted with a friendly smile and a hello.I ordered tacos al pastor, and i was amazed to see that they make the tortillas fresh in-house & not store bought ☺️I also had a torta al pastor and it was delicious and fresh. Over this beats any other taco place on long island, so much closer than queens when your craving some tacos and torta :)“

“This place is sooooooooo goooood! The food is extremely delicious ? perfect portions and the sauce is delectable! We love the tortas here! They come so quick and are very fairly priced. The agua de jamaica here makes me crave another cup. My new weekend favorite!“

“This place is such a vibe! Women owned and operated business. The tacos and food are delicious and a large bar to order whatever you want. Highly recommend such a fun chill time there is also a room to rent out for parties fun place fun time. The outside might not look as beautiful as the inside but don't be afraid to walk in“

I'll recommend you the spod go and try it you will not regret it .Vegetarian options: Yes they will make what ever you want.Dietary restrictions: Yes good selectionKid-friendliness: Good selection“

“To start, they seat you with a tray of tortilla chips and 2 types of dipping sauces which were both flavorful and delicious. First we ordered the loaded plantain, then for tacos we got the cauliflower, chicharron and shrimp and we got the chicken burrito bowl and chicharron burrito bowl, all delicious. If this place wasn't so far from our home it would be a regular. Great place, definitely try.“

“Ilya's service was amazing and professional from the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant. His warm demeanor and genuine hospitality made our dining experience truly memorable. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations tailored to our preferences. Throughout the meal, Ilya displayed impeccable attention to detail, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our plates were promptly cleared. His professionalism and genuine passion for hospitality truly set him apart. We look forward to returning soon, knowing that Ilya's exceptional service will be a highlight of our dining experience once again!!“

“Another restaurant, Another creation by Chef Carlos but same authentic, same taste. Used to go hicksville restaurant on regular basis. Last night visited this location but missed to meet the Chef Carlos. It's beautiful restaurant, beautiful ambience, beautiful setup of tables. Bar is excellent addition. And food as I said earlier, is mouthwatering delicious ?. Service is great. Must try this location. Definitely going back again.Chicken burrito and shrimp burrito with mama's way, it super delicious. Perfect balance if all ingredients.“

“10/10! Flavorful authentic Mexican food.I had ordered 3 birria tacos with consome, 3 carne asada tacos supreme, and a torta Al pastor.The birria tacos were so juicy and the meat was tender and flavorful. The carne asada tacos were great with the side sauce added on (free of charge). And the torta was the best out of the three, the fresh avocado was amazing!They have a lot to offer here and I’d highly recommend you try them out :)“

“It's a very cool spot with tons of character and fun. We went on trivia Wednesday. It felt like a fun neighborhood place where friends always meet. The whole restaurant sang happy birthday to my husband. It's definitely a great , chill place to get yummy comfort food.“

“My friends I was so hungry ? and it looked so delicious that I forgot to take pictures - this is definitely a spot I will be revisiting very soon. I ordered the nachos with chicken high five on the chicken seasoning so good… the pupusas de queso and queso con beans $3 each which at first I thought was a bit high but they are a pretty good size for $3 lots of filling and fresh Then we got Birria noodles with lime ?‍ so delicious let me tell you if I get a hangover this would be my go to soup it had so much meat in it And the horchata was on point if your in the area do go visit I didn’t verify their hours however on google it says 3-10pm me and hubby went around 9pm and they were on the block google suggested. Great Food FlakoTaco hope to see more of you soon I’ll add pictures next time :)“

“The staff and owners are amazing! Definitely a great spot to pick up great tasting food. So far they haven't disappointed at all. Tried their birria, el pastor, chorizo and pulled pork tacos.. love them all. Will be going back for more to satisfy the cravings of delicious food.“

“Omg! Just what I was looking for! Since opening the new location, upgrades to the seating and big tv screens give this pace a wonderful atmosphere to eat in and enjoy! They have nintendo video games at each table with so many games for kids , teens and adults to choose from.while you wait .the food is delicious! I ordered the burritos, tacos and gauc with chips...omg...it was absolutely amazing..good portion sizes and great fast service..they also have shakesand specialty desert that are so creative! .this is definitely my new go to place, they have so much variety, burgers, tacos, wings..you can't go wrong! Go Here Nowww.....Thank me later ?Parking: Parking in the rear“

“Such an underrated gem in Seaford. They have both a nice patio in the back decorated to give all the island vibes as well seating out front on the street side, and of course indoor availability. Service was very personable and quick from drinks through the end of the meal. They certainly don't skimp on the variety of options food wise from starters, quesadillas, tacos to wraps etc. Drink wise I went with the "Mammacita Needs A Margarita" aka a Spicy Marg. Loved the addition of cucumber to the drink to balance it and give it a little refreshing aspect. Food wise we just got a smattering of tacos (Luger, Tropical Lobstahhh, Birria, Al Pastor, Carne Smack Dat Asad and the Cali-Flower) just to try and sample a little of everything. First and foremost, the portions are legit - they don't skimp out so you'll be full or even have extra to take home. Taste wise, my top 3 were the Luger, Lobster and Cali-Flower. All very flavorful and unique in their own way. Definitely will be back once the weather heats up!“

“Delicious tamales. The moment I tried them transported me to Guatemala. It feels like they are made with love!Thank you and may God bless the hands of Mrs. Roxana. ??Tamales at this place are delicious. The moment I tasted them I was immediately imported to Guatemala. God bless the cook ?‍? Roxana ??“

“Oxygen Bar & Lounge NYC is the perfect cozy Caribbean spot. I've gone to many of the events that were hosted there and I'm never disappointed. Friendly and quick service, the meals are amazing! No place is perfect but the atmosphere and team really make it better!“

“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“

“Yummy, the food here is very delicious. Fresh vegetables and white chicken in tacos. The guacamole is delicious too. Hot green sauce is nice too. I would try this place in Great Neck. Tostada's are also very good. We ate there and get to go sometime.“

“Have only done take out. The tacos are always fresh and I love the red salsa. Always get extra salsa. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is on the ground level with a cut out on the sidewalk for wheelchair access.“

“best place to get lunch at I recommend this place so much I be going here for my lunch time them BEC be slapping . I love the people that work there as well there kind to everyone and they don’t charge a lot like other delis !! ❤️❤️❤️???????“

“Tacos were really good. I got 2 shrimp and the Birria/consome special. Shrimp were very, very tasty and they don't skimp on the shrimp. Birria was good as well, meat wasn't tender and flavorful. Broth was very well seasoned. The tacos aren't small either, they definitely filled me up. I'll definitely go back.“

“If I could give 10 stars for customer service and recommendations I would. Ashley noticed I was a bit unsure as to what to order and she took initiative by greeting me in a pleasant and friendly manner. Ashley gave me her top 3 favorites and I chose the chipotle chicken bowl. Both Nick and Ashley were wonderful. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Los mejores tacos, tortas y nachos que vas encontrar en Uniondale, pídete extra salsa me lo vas a agradecer. Por la calidad de la comida el precio vale la pena. Comúnmente siempre ordenó 3 órdenes de azada que cuestan $45. Hace 5 años frecuentó A.D taqueria, aparte el personal es muy amable; así que definitivamente te la recomiendo 100% no te vas a arrepentir Best Tacos in Long Island“

“Quality service, delicious variety of tacos. Authentic tortillas were a plus. Forgot to ask if they were made in house. We tried buffalo cauliflower, barbacoa, pastor, carnitas, carne asada (truffle sauce was delicious), tuna (wasn't crazy they were served in lettuce, no thanks, I'm here for tacos!), and shrimp. Great option to get 8 for $50 to try a variety. A little pricey to not even include some beans or rice but yummy. Desserts were tasty having churros and flan. We really wanted to try the spicy chocolate cake on the menu but we were told they discontinued it and they need to update their menu. Waiter was attentive. The staff was professional and kind. The water glasses stayed filled without having to ask. Decor was on point. So creative and attractive . Great logo design and the painted parking spots are so original! Music was great. Acoustics were really loud in the place and it was very hard to talk, had to shout at each other the whole time but if that loud busy vibe is what they're going for they nailed it. The owner treated our family very well and we appreciated it. Check them out. Can't wait to visit when the weather is nice and patio doors are open.“

“I'v been coming here since they first openedI had tried everything all delicious, fresh & cooked perfectly. Very nice staff & they bring your food to your tableIn the past months they added coconut shrimp, which was nice size shrimps & crispy, so glad they added thisWhenever in the area always stop here to get some fresh fish & food“

“Food is delicious im addicted. Craving some munchies? Have a budget? Love authentic Mexican food? This is the spott! I do wish they were opened more later. Try their steak nachos best nachos on Long Island. The employees are always the sweetest.“

“The birria and beef tacos are delicious, and so are each and every one of the sauces. I want to highlight the excellent service that the person who assisted me provided me. I definitely can't wait to go again to try more of the menu from this food truck in Uniondale ♥️♥️♥️“

“This is my go-to spot for anything in a bowl or a wrap. The food tastes very flavorful. I completely forgot all about Chipotle since it's discovery; however, you do have to pay for additional meat and sauces. Also, I would never order delivery from this spot because the quantity is more skimpy when you aren't there monitoring the servers. I also would never order guacamole to go. It is always brown and bound to leave you on the toliet. Depending on the time of time, it will be crowded with teenagers fyi.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp.“

“Went there months ago and got a drink because I'm not a taco lover I walked pass the food, went today and decided 2 try the nachos, slap ya mommy good & price just right, I'm a big eater & I could not finish my food ate out the plate 2 times n still had food left, will be going back again for sure“

“(Translated by Google) I went for the first time and I ordered a cake and I was surprised at how good and big they are since I was already full with half and I enjoyed it a lot(Original)Fui por primera vez y pedí una torta y me sorprendió lo buenas y grandes que son ya que con la mitad y ya estaba lleno y la disfrute mucho“

“I had a birthday party for my 13 year old in their private space about a week and a half ago. The staff was A+. Service of beverages was incredible and the trays of food were replenished as needed. Everyone at the party raved about the food. An awesome place to have a gathering with no stress. I was able to come in a little earlier to do a LITTLE decorating. I will say the space is absolutely beautiful. Love the floral wall. It was awesome to enjoy a party that I threw. No stress. I was responsible for bringing dessert, CAKE. We will definitely be having another event in the future. Very satisfied with both service and food. A special thank you Michelle for helping me with all details.“

“The food is the best. I ordered some shrimp tacos and I almost had a religious experience with those tacos. I totally recommend it! The place is not elegant at all, but the service makes you feel at home. Go and try it, you won't regret it.“

“Visited this place on a Tuesday for "Taco Tuesday" and it was delicious! It was awesome being greeted by the friendly ladies in the truck working their butts off on a cold rainy winter night. And to top it off the the tacos were tasty and the consume delicious. This should be a top 5 stops for you in Valley Stream 10/10“

“I have been here a few times and the location in Williamsburg. I came to the Rockville center location to just beer hop. no pun intended lol.. just trying some new beers. quick service and attentive staff. I have eaten here before the appetizers are good“
