“Small & cozy. Friendly & helpful staff. The food? AMAZING!! Will definitely be going back. I didn't get the gentlemens name, but he saw me with my motorcycle helmet & we immediately struck up conversation as if we've known each other for years. Love this place!!“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“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.“

“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“

“Nice cozy neighborhood spot good for drinks and appetizers and food great ambiance“

“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.“

“Great food and hospitality! Definitely try a Gringa Quesadilla and the Esquites!!!“

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

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

“First time here, got to try the carne asada tacos and carnitas chalupas, they were great! Juicy and tender. Our only issue was when we arrived there wasn’t any music playing for a while and out of nowhere loud music started playing which threw us off as we were sitting by a speaker. Will probably do take out moving forward because these tacos are definitely seeing me again.“

“Service is okay but not great but food is very good“

“Second time ordering take-out from here. They’re really friendly and have great service, but it’s not going to become my next favorite unfortunately. Food was okay, ordered cheese birria tacos which I thought would be cheese crusted rather than just some shredded cheese tossed inside.
The birria consome was great though! I think it was missing some salt but when combined with the tacos (as it should be) it was a perfect combination.

The place is small though, not a lot of seating space and the space that is available is a bit tight, so that ruins a bit of the atmosphere for me. But, for takeout nearby, I think it’s in the right neighborhood and deserves its round of applause.“

“The taco choices are amazing and delicious“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great mexican restaurant, dinner for four last night and everyone was raving!!“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“Muy rico 😋 todo las bebidas son muy exotica’s 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“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.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“From the moment you walk in here the atmosphere is just friendly vibes. From the fresh squeezed lime on the margaritas, whether frozen or on the rocks to the authentic Mexican food you definitely feel the great vibes. I would definitely recommend for a good bite and smooth drink to finish off the palette. Whether it’s a day date with a friend or your little kiddo (nice friendly kid food menu) they will not disappoint. Let’s not fail to mention I’ve seen the Knicks game here- and they were super accommodating! Thank you all for your amazing service!!!!“

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

“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.“

“❤ 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!“

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

“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!“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“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.“

“A gentleman was outside the truck assisting with ordering and payment. We ordered quesadillas (middle picture) & a tlacoyo (1st picture). He let us know they have different cook times and asked if we wanted everything served together or as it was ready. Food was great! Not too heavy or greasy. The quesadillas are handmade tortillas that are thin, light but pliable and filled with a small amount of cheese and your choice of filling. They are topped with crispy, refreshing lettuce and crema with both green or red salsa on the side. The tlacoyo was a thicker tortilla with melted cheese and filling inside and again topped with refreshing lettuce and crema and salsa on the side. We sat on the side where stools are provided. Great food and friendly service.“

“La comida riquísima buen servicio“

“Came for the breakfast burrito and now I want to come back and try everything else. I was craving a breakfast burrito and this was one of the few places that had them on the menu. Really good flavor and the chorizo was not super fatty. The chile de árbol sauce is chef’s kiss! It was also a nice touch to have some café de olla (coffee sweetened with raw sugar molasses and cinnamon), which brought back some good memories. Service was top notch. The decoration is fun too with some Lucha Libre artwork. The tamarind sweet at the end is fun. They have some traditional Guerrero food that would be worth coming back for.“

“La comida súper rica 100% recomendable“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“Deliciosa la comida lo único que le hace falta un lugar donde la gente se siente a comer tranquilos 😌“

“This bar/restaurant is the best. Great drinks. Great food. Great people!! Do not miss Lime & Salt!!“

“Karaoke, dinner and drinks always makes a great time better.“

“Stopped here for lunch yesterday and had the most delicious breakfast burrito ever! Staff were so friendly and very attentive! 10/10 recommend!!“

“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“

“excelent colombian food thanks“

“Rica la comida y muy buena la atención 👍recomendable 💯“

“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 🙏🏾“

“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.“
