“This was our first time going here and certainly won't be our last. It's quite the trek from home but totally worth it. The food is fresh and flavorful, the staff is attentive and personable. The fish and birria tacos were better than I've had anywhere else.“
“Came to casa on a Friday night for dinner with a group of friends, love the fact they had a dj on Friday playing great music, so the night started good, all the food was great , the shrimp and garlic sauce was the winner, and they have a great drinks, thank you Isabella for taking care of my group!! Love it..“
“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!!!!!“
“Burrito ? is one of the best on Long Island -This is coming from a Los Angeles native. Definitely add to your list.Also, super close to Museum Row. Take the kids to the airplane museum or children’s museum then grab some tacos, burritos and quesadilla?“
“It has a nice cute theme and awesome food all the food is good takes some time to come out but is 100% worth it you should definitely try to come here if you have time!Kid-friendliness: There’s a kids menu with lots of amazing options for the little ones the best menu item from kids menu is probably quesadillas?“
“The food doesn’t have much of taste, over-prices and smaller in portions but the service is very good. Friendly servers. Indoor seating g is limited to two tables despite enough space. Well decorative witb quotes and stuff (irrelevant to a food post) Plus point is it’s HALAL.“
“Authentic Mexican place in Floral park. Our kids found this place online and traveled here for good good. We’ve been here many times and tried variety of food.Birria tacos are so flavorful and authentic. Pupusa, nacho supreme, tacos (all kinds), fajita, burritos- all excellent!If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is a good place!“
“This is my first Yelp review ever but this modest little restaurant deserves it. Not only is the food surprisingly delicious but the owners and staff are warm, welcoming and generous. They always offer something while waiting for take out and when eating in they take the time to talk to you and make you feel part of things. They even remember me from one visit to another which is something I never experienced before. I fully recommend. Everything is good but we particularly love the Burria tacos only served on weekends as well as the specials they offer which are always .. well... special!“
“Just Halal Fusion is a win/win for the local community and the consumer. The food is made with great care using high quality fresh ingredients and the highest standard of handling practices. The quality of the food, quantity, price, and highly varied selection translates to tremendous value for the customer. Not many establishments in the area are able to check all of these boxes. My whole family and many of my friends frequent this restaurant many times a week for this reason. All of their offerings are the perfect combination of delicious, affordable, and filling.The food preparers will always make your food exactly to your request and will quickly remedy any mishaps. The restaurant is always kept clean and all staff are extremely courteous. I couldn't recommend Just Halal and their wide array of tasty options enough. From Quesadillas to Kebabs, you will not be disappointed.Parking: Free parking allowed at the strip mall across the street.Kid-friendliness: Options for kids (kid-sized meals and beverages)“
“The best birria tacos! Super juicy and loaded and they come with pickled onions on the side. Convenient location right next to parking lot. I usually get the meal (3 tacos and consome) and one or two extra tacos. Very filling. Staff are fast and friendly. Bring cash and don’t forget to tip.“
“We were utterly shocked at the delicious, authentic Mexican food served at this hole in the wall spot. The chips were hot & freshly made, & all five of us enjoyed our food. It’s a small space, though, & looks like it used to be a bodega/corner store, but it was one of the best Mexican meals I’ve ever had, & the staff is so friendly & considerate. So if you’re in the area, definitely give it a try.“
“We three ate here today. Tony, visiting from Ireland, and I each had the 1/2 rack of ribs which we both agreed was excellant, fall off the bone good. I had as my 2 sides collard greens and corn. Both sides were very good, seemed to have a slight pickled flavor and went down easily. She had the pulled pork sandwich, which she found excellent to include the thin bread, and she had to have the bread pudding for dessert, which was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, so we had to help her finish it as it was too big for one person! Definitely the best rib place for both ribs and sides, we look forward to returning. The interior may seem a bit small but in the good sunny sumertime they have outdoor seating for well over a hundred diners. There's plenty of free parking, it's all located in the area behind Fairchild's Funeral parlor. The service is friendly and timely. Do yourself a favor, if you like ribs, you'll like the SmokHaus.Parking: Huge free parking lot behind behind the restaurant“
“Ordered a taco instead of a burrito they remade my order and gave me the taco with no issue, the owner is a great guy and you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Don’t forget about how good the food is as well! Would recommend this spot to anyone who likes a fresh authentic burrito!“
“Omg!!! Delicious food and excellent service. Everything was fresh and top quality. The owners came to say hello and they are so warm and super nice people! Our server recommend a special dish that is not on the Menu, “Molcajete Loco” and let me tell you, You must try this ? a true exquisite experience!Kid-friendliness: Several options for kids menu.“
“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 :)“
“Ive been to many mexican restaurants and this will ALWAYS come on top. going to Puerta Mexicana is a gift and something I always love to do with friends and family. This restaurant has opened my eyes to everything birria, and i’m never going back. The birria quesadilla is amazing and I love to get it with extra lime. The atmosphere is so cozy and decorated and i love Puerta Mexicana with all of my heart???“
“Mexican food is my favorite and all these “authentic” Mexican places (with no Spanish workers let alone Mexican workers) cannot compete at all. Took me a while to try it out because I was tired of being disappointed but they did NOT disappoint!!!!“
“Tried their birria tacos and they're lovely! Packed with beef, cheese, and savory, tangy birria on the side. Burrito bowls were also good, but the birria tacos are the star of the show here! Friendly and attentive staff, especially drew! We hope to see you again soon!“
“Went there for the first time yesterday for my lunch. SO GOOD! The Mongolian beef tacos are UHHMAZINGGG. Loved the carne taco. The Thai chicken taco was okay but it just wasn’t my favorite. Their pineapple salsa is SLAMMINNNN. I also got a chicken taco that was good too. I will definitely be going back soon :)))“
“First I visited the restaurant when I was on my way to Texas then I saw this this place and there were a lot of food options then I ask for the recommendation and they told me that the burrito ball is really good because I can put anything in it or you can say that it is more like a custom ball, then I take there there recommended food and it was really good and it is more healthy so I gave it 10/10 specialty with there white and chipotle sauces so I recommend you guys this place for healthy and value for money food.“
“This spot is very pretty and aesthetic although it’s small. Honestly the food wasn’t that good. Everyone that I went with thought their food was just okay and pretty bland. The guacamole options are cool and the churros were pretty tasty. The service was great and they had a lot of options on the menu so maybe we just didn’t get the right things.Dietary restrictions: They were able to take out dairy from the dishes and were sure to check with the kitchen about a sauce they had.“
“That girl with glasses and smart hair is really rude when serving, whether or not she is part of the owners, whatever, she should not be rude when serving people, she has a bitter face and that's the same with her service, you ask about some lemons and looks at you as if you are asking him to go take them down from the tree... such a service is in bad taste when one tries to eat in peace“
“Everything was amazing!! I’ve been eyeing the place and always smelled their delicious food when walking by and they did NOT disappoint! So glad i tried it and look forward to going again. Only thing is the coconut rice needs to be toned down, I love coconut but that was overkill lol.“
“Tried their burrito bowl with honey chicken option and tacos with steak/chicken. All the protein were seasoned, cooked well and served hot. Veggies were fresh. One of the servers was really helpful with making great recommendations!Would highly recommend give this place a try!!“
“Had ordered on GrubHub a quesabirria , carne asada with rice & beans, and jamaica juice . Hands down , amazing food! Homestyle flavor but with a restaurant presentation. The packing was great and not messy! Thank you so much for the delicious food will be ordering again!“

“I am truly so impressed with our experience tonight!!! The food was great and fresh, portions were huge, prices were reasonable and our delivery was quick. My toddler loved it too! Thank you SO much. It was our first time and we will definitely be ordering “
“I came here with 3 of my friends after having a few beers at Bright Eye.We ordered Queso and chips to share for the table. The queso was smooth and creamy. There were also way more than enough tortilla chips for the 4 of us to share. We also ordered fries to share. The fries were amazingly crisp. My husband and I ordered The OG and the SoCal burrito - we ended up sharing and took half of the burrito each so that we were able to add some variety to the meal. The SoCal burrito had fries stuffed into it and it was just perfect. We were the only people seated into the small restaurant. Our food came out super quickly and the staff was very friendly.“
“My family and I went in on a whim today and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was Amazing! And the staff were very attentive too and they got the order perfect! We cant wait to go again! Ps we got the burrito bowls, one chicken, one beef! Very fresh ingredients! Way to go, Guac Time!“
“We were a bit skeptical at first since it appeared to be more of a commercial side and we usually prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was not only delicious, but also authentic and well-portioned, all at a reasonable price.“
“Music playing, private stalls in the bathroom, strong drinks, tasty food...love to go and hang with my favorite group of coworkers/closest friends❣?Parking: If it is a busy night or special event get there early or parking will be slim to none and/or a distance from your vehicle to the restaurant.“
“Very good tacos, good location, good service. Only downside to this place is the lack of seating and overall interior of the store. Would definitely be a lot lot better with more seating and an interior change, but I can get over that for some of the best local tacos.“

“Thank you to the staff here. Congratulations again to the young man who is just starting ?. They were very patient with my 2 lil girls and I was we were fairly new to the menu. Thanks for the hospitality. Loved the fact that is was clean and not crowded. Keep up the magnificent work.“
“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 :)“
“I came here with a group of 9 for Father's Day. The place is pretty cute decorated with various tiles and artwork from Mexico. The staff was extremely kind and friendly and the food came out very quickly considering we had such a large group on a holiday. Everything tasted great even the drinks! And we ordered more margaritas than would've probably been socially acceptable for Father's Day. The carne asada burrito is 100% on point. They give you complimentary chips and salsa and the salsa has a nice spicy kick to it. Guac is available for an additional charge. We dined in so I can't speak on delivery quality but I can honestly say I would definitely be coming back here for that burrito. It's authentic Mexican so the food may be spicy to some just a heads up.“
“Pa la proxima pedire chicharron pero en salsa roja picante pero no tan picante como la del bote.Oh un chilito relleno, si cocinan muy bueno pero pienso que el arroz necesita bastante jitomate vegetales y mas saborsito y los frijolitos sebollita refrita y un poquito mas de sal y listo.“
“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“
“I have lived in Jamaica all of my life, passed this place on several occasions. I decide to order today for a work luncheon. I had the best Guacamole ever. The tacos were fresh and the Guacamole tastes like he just made it outside our door. It as the best Taco experience ever had. If you like Tacos and Guacamole, this is it! SN: Order through Grubhub“
“I ate green chilaquiles with cecina and the truth, delicious!The compa Miguel is very friendly, the waitress is very attentive. Thank you for your service, the food and the attention have no complaints!A good place to fill your belly!Blessings Michael!!“
“The food wasn't too bad. They were a little stingy with the servings. You would have to ask for me. What I really disliked was I love a lot of sour cream. I asked for more and the bottle was out. Instead of the server getting a new bottle she just asked me was that at? Like did I need anything else? I said yes more sour cream please but she just put my lid on and covered and bagged my food. When I came to the counter the first server didn't even greet me. I disliked that because I am big on customer service. He just starred at me. I had to say hello may I have a bowl please? Other than these things I wouldn't mind trying them again. The food was fresh and hot and the restaurant was very clean including the restroom. I also loved the freestyle soda machine with a pineapple flavor option. The pineapple Hi-C and pineapple sprite were delicious! I wouldn't mind giving this place a 2nd try.“
“Food was delicious. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and this one is really great. Excellent customer service. Parking is on the street, and it was scarce.3/23/20246 years later, and my first review stands. My photo from today shows the aftermath.“
“Went here for a breakfast/brunch with my mom and we got the Mexican and Colubian breakfasts along with a coffee each. We also got the guacamole and jalapeños sauces.Coffee was very nice, not too strong and very smooth.My mom loved the Mexican breakfast. The beans were very flavorful and the egg scramble paired very well with pickled jalapeños. The tortillas were nice and hot and didn't break apart even when piled high with beans, rice, and eggs. Highly recommend.I also very much recommend the Columbian breakfast which came with an arepa with cheese, steak, and the same egg scramble. The steak was pretty good. While thin and cooked all the way through, it was crusty, well seasoned, and tender. I poured loads of the jalapeño sauce on top which was great. The arepa was also very nice, crispy bottom and nice gooey cheese.The sauces were also pretty good. I highly recommend the jalapeño sauce. A little kick balanced with a good sour and sweetness. The guacamole sauce was also pretty good, if a bit watery.The portions of the meal were perfectly good and filled you up but for $15 a pop, it's most definitely not an every morning meal.The highlight really was the service. Thr food arrived quickly and hot. The lady at the front desk was very nice and offered for us to finish our meals before paying. She seemed very enthusiastic and was happy to give me more jalapeño sauce when asked.The dining area itself was clean and cute. Nice music and vibes. The cushions on the seats were clean and not deflated and the tables were very clean.Overall, very nice place to eat with some damn good food. If you're looking for a great weekend breakfast/lunch, come here.“
“I absolutely love this place! Their food does not disappoint. The portions are great. I love the chicken tacos, chicken burrito and steak burrito. Plus the guac is not extra in the burrito. The burritos are so big and filling. Support local business and come to taquitos grill and forget about chipotle and moes! This place blows them away!!!!“
“"Attending the real estate mixer at MESITA Restaurant in Garden City, hosted by Contour Mortgage, was an absolute delight.The venue not only provided the perfect backdrop for networking and engaging conversations but also impressed with its selection of great finger food and good drinks, catering to all tastes.A special shout-out to Charlie and Briget for making the evening truly memorable.The combination of MESITA's vibrant atmosphere, exceptional service, and culinary delights, along with the warm hospitality, made for an unforgettable experience.Highly recommend for those looking to enjoy a lively setting with delicious food and beverages!"“
“I ordered for delivery the shrimp with garlic sauce and it reminded me as if I was eating lobster in butter sauce ?. The shrimp was very fresh and the sauce is buttery, garlicky yumminess. Delicious!! Thank you Los Almuerzos for making my belly smile.“
“Very delicious food served here with fast and friendly service. Metered parking available on street and nearby municipal lot; availability of parking spaces may be limited or difficult to find when the area is busy. Clean restaurant and nice decor.“
“The best most cleanest place in new hyde park ! Wow the food is out of this world, ive tried the bowls, the burritos , the salads and everything is absolutely delicious ! I wish they had one around my house ? the food is so fresh and you can taste how homemade it is. 5 stars for sure .“
“Great food classic new york pizza as well as a couple different types I highly recommend the rolls or calzones it took a while to get the food but definitely worth the wait also the salads are insanely goodVegetarian options: If it's vegetarian it's mostly eggplant rolls and veggie pizza but they are huge“
“Saw an ad for this restaurant on social media and was interested in their $25 per person all you can eat tacos ( 2 hour time limit). They advertised $10 Margaritas as well, so my wife and I decided to give them a try on Taco Tuesday and made a reservation with inkind app.When we arrived, the parking lot was full, but we were able to find Street parking pretty quickly.You'll need to eat about 6 tacos before it's worth the $25 so be sure to come hungry and don't get appetizers like the chips and guac (which are extra $, though tasty). Unfortunately, the delicious margaritas served in fun vessels were not in fact $10 as advertised but $15, which was a bit of a disappointment.With the special, you can get up to 4 tacos per person at a time and they can be any combination from the variety of about 12 kinds that they have. Highly recommend the sushi-grade tuna lettuce cup taco, the Baja fish taco, and the fried chicken taco.Beware, they top everything with cilantro, so if you're not a fan of the flavor, this may not be your spot.The place was decorated well and had a very busy/live atmosphere so I definitely recommend reservations for the Tuesday special. It can get a bit loud too so definitely not an Intimate spot.The chairs were a bit painful as I'm a bigger guy and they had little bumps that poked into my legs making me need to keep readjusting, but they have benches along the wall also.Would definitely try again - Maybe their regular menu next time.“
“Food is always on point I normally get my beef empanadas with the amazing sweet potato fries on my lunch break . Service I always normally ordered ahead and ready in 10-15 minutes and quick service . Ambiance is small might catch kids there after school on lunch breaks.“
