“Pasamos una despedida de año espectacular los meseros muy atentos los tragos muy buenos la atención en si muy recomendada aparte la comida deliciosa 👍“

“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.“

“Food was good. Empanadas were good. I usually prefer the flour crust because they are usually more crisp & thinner crust but these were good. I also bought the 2 meat yo-yo. That was really good. Alot of flavor. I also bought a tequeño guava and cheese (like a mozzarella stick with guava sauce in it). It was good. Would probably be a little better if the crust was a little thinner.“

“buen servicio y atención amable“

“muy bueno el pollo frito y el pollo asado“

“Great food Fresh Good flavor“

“very good food The best service“

“It was my first time trying Empanada Queen, a food truck in Baldwin, and overall, it was a decent experience. They had a deal for 10 empanadas for $28, so I decided to try a variety. I went with shrimp, beef, chicken, and mac and cheese empanadas. The flavors were all pretty tasty, with the shrimp, beef, and chicken being the standouts. However, I wasn’t a fan of the mac and cheese one—it just didn’t have the right texture or flavor I was expecting.

The wait time was short, which was a nice surprise, especially since it was freezing outside! I was glad to have the car to wait in while the food was being prepared.

One thing to note is that the outer shell of the empanadas was quite hard, which made them a bit tough to bite into. On the positive side, the fillings themselves were flavorful. The only other downside was that they only offer one sauce, which had a bit of spice to it. While I didn’t mind it, I wish there were a few more sauce options to choose from.

I'd still recommend it if you're in the area and craving empanadas.“

“sabrosa comida 😋 💯 recomendado ☺️“

“The mostrito lunch special with the purple drink (chicha morada) is amazing. I also tried bistec a lo pobre & lomo saltado, which is also 10/10. It’s the best Peruvian food I have tried honestly. Briana is very courteous, well spoken & really knows her culture.“

“Great food Fresh Good flavor“

“I was referred here by my friend who buys food from here often and shared and it's always delicious. My husband and I come from long island as often as we can now because we have never been disappointed with all the food we bought. Staff and owners are wonderful and very welcoming and grateful for our patronage which we love. The portions are great and pleasantly pleased that they include plantains. My absolute favorite is the beef stew, always mouth watering and tender. We will continue to return. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

“We had a special request with our catering order and they handled everything perfectly. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Thank you!“

“One of the best burritos I’ve ever had! I ordered the ‘Everything’ and it was an explosion of flavors. Fresh, delicious and amazing! It was clearly made with love. This one-woman run little spot is incredible and I highly recommend it.“

“Hermoso lugar , comida rica y el personal muy agradable 😉“

“Aside from the deliciousness, we loved the variety offered! You have your classics like beef and chicken, and traditional like pastelon and beef and cheese. Can’t wait to try others like chorizo and potato, Pernil and Cuban! Great option to add to our food choice rotation. Bonus, the staff is super sweet!!“

“I was craving a Cubano. I should have asked how they make theirs. The sandwich I got was good but it wasn't a Cubano. My idea of a Cuban sandwich is Roast pork, sliced ham, swiss cheese, a pickle and mustard. Hero bread pressed flat. I hear some people use salami instead of ham. The sandwich I recieved had no pickle no cheese no mustard and was not pressed. I'll give them another try because their food looked good in the trays. If I get another Cubano, I'll ask them if they can make it my way.“

“Prices for this economy aren’t terrible at all, he markets great, offered free juice (amazing btw) orange , ginger, lemon, carrots , very delicious and healthy, Carlos is just a positive and kind person and it’s a great personality to have in this business, he’s very very kind and this is definitely my new spot for the area. His omlettes and iced coffee are amazing, and the store is well kept and clean , you can tell it’s a clean business 10/10“

“Buen lugar para busca todos los que necesita la comida es bien buena el personaje son bueno estucado @TAXI_ESCOBITA CORP 24/7 sevicio en HEMPSTEAD y UNIONDALE Llámanos 516-476-2095“

“Deli quetzal tiene comida rica es un lugar muy acogedor,el servicio es increíble son muy amables con los clientes.Tienen todo típico de comida centro americana,todos los platos son deliciosos.100% recomendable“

“I ordered lemon juice with oatmeal, and they sent me oatmeal with orange. In addition, the juice flavor was from a packet, the hot dogs had very little meat, and the cabbage was unseasoned. Please consider your customers because we pay for this. You need to provide better customer service. Thank you.“

“The food is definitely delicious—fresh off the grill every time. I used to drive past this place all the time until a friend finally brought me here. We ordered the chicken and steak, and the total came to about $22. I also got a small mixed drink for around $4.

About a month later, I came back and ordered the exact same thing, but my total was almost $40. I noticed the menu board had been updated, even though the online menu still looked similar to what I saw on my first visit.

I understand prices go up, but that kind of increase in such a short time is a lot—especially in Hempstead. 😅

The staff is excellent, the restaurant is clean, and the food is genuinely good. I don’t mind paying a little more for quality, but the pricing should still feel reasonable. Hopefully they can offer some specials, combos, or other accommodations because I’d love to keep coming back.“

“After moving to LI I tried a few Salvadoran restaurants but by far this one is my go to, the Panes con pollo were Amazing, just brought back so many childhood memories, the pupusas are good the repollo could use a few more days as to me a bit to fresh I like it a bit more cured, but that’s self preference so no knock to them…“

“Good place for dinner , good service“

“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“

“La esquisita comida 🥘 mmm“

“I walked in here on a whim one day a few months ago. My go-to deli down the block had closed down. I needed somewhere to get my egg sandwiches. I'm so glad I did. They're better than the old deli, and less expensive. Almost every day, I order a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. With hot sauce, pepperjack, on a toasted bun. It's consistently perfect, and for only $3, the best deal in the neighboorhood. I'll be a customer as long as I live here.“

“La comida es deliciosa recomiendo“

“excelente muy deliciosa la comida u un buen servicio👌👌“

“The Mata Niño cakes and breads were delicious. The environment very clean and pleasant. The only thing I didn't like was the girl who took my order, she was very serious and made angry faces, maybe she had something wrong. But apart from that everything is fine 10/10“

“Great service and welcoming atmosphere!“

“A delicious and affordable buffet filled with lots of options conveniently located near the beach and the LIRR. We’ll be in town this weekend for Memorial Day, and I’m looking forward to eating there again.“

“Picked up a small pernil/roast pork lunch special with yellow rice and red beans. The food was delicious. It was$13.50 for the lunch special. Only thing was they didn't have any homemade fresh garlic sauce. Other than good service, good food.“

“I've been traveling on the road and I'm finally back in NY. I'm originally from the Bronx so I'm super picky with those bodegas with the prepped food. But wow, did this place hit the spot. I feel like I'm back in the Bronx eating at my best friend's abuelas house.“
