“Blood orange margarita, street corn, guacamole, it’s all delicious“

“When I got to the place, there was enough parking space. Once I got inside, the atmosphere was different than any other placements. The counter person was ready to write down my order. There was a lot of food selection to choose from. Different types of tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Great drinks like sprite, juices, water but there were also natural drinks like horchata, melon, etc. Once your food was ready, they would call your name and you can choose your sauces and toppings at the little station they had. This place is a great spot to hang out or to pass time with friends and family. Although the place was hot, it doesn't matter because the day was already hot and obviously people were working in the kitchen meaning it was going to get hot. All in all, the food and place is definitely worth trying. I think I just found my new spot. Give it a try and you will see that this is a place worth trying.

Parking: Parking is behind the building

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids. Food for kids like mozzarella sticks and fries there are other food options for them. There are seats for babies who are not ready to sit on the chairs.“

“My friend Anubis got the honey dip tacos and he said that his exes mom put him onto it and he comes back everyrime to get them he also said W Jessica(exes mom) for putting him on“

“Some of their food is not the same and I noticed that it’s on certain days when they have the younger ones working in the kitchen. They need to have quality control when the more experienced cooks are not working..“

“I catered from Limon for a party and I have to say I was very pleased with the whole experience. I communicated with Eddy, the owner, and organized everything with him. We catered burrito bowls and Eddy let us order exactly what we wanted for the bowls. Here is a review about the catering order and what our guests said:

The food was ready on time and the staff helped bring everything out to my car. The food was also packed very well so nothing would spill in the car.

The taste and the quality of the food was perfect, people were very happy with the food and presentation! The quantity was more than enough for everyone.

I’m very happy with the taste and quality of the food and the service we received.“

“Love this place. Staff is always friendly, food always fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend for takeout or catering order, did the medium tray of chimichangas and street corn for party and everything was devoured. All party patrons complimented.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“The food is amazing, I’d say it’s even better than the Mexican food in the city. It’s a nice small spot with extremely friendly waiters. They answered my questions about the food when asking if I could make any changes and had no issues with it. I recommend everyone who’s driving by or lives around here to try them. The chilaquiles with green sauce were fantastic.“

“Awesome event last night! Right coast showed up on time, with ease fed 200 residents for us and were absolutely fantastic. Everyone loved the food! I hope to have them back again!“

“I go to this restaurant twice a month with my friend usually around 11 AM and get breakfast. Imagine how shocked I was Find out breakfast was no longer available during the week? The restaurant has changed names and menus, but to take breakfast completely off the table during the week I find it outrageous we’ve been going here for years now we have to find a new place. Even if they offered a couple of choices fruit, eggs or brunch special it would have been nice.My friend and I are so disappointed.☹️
You are right I changed my review to four stars, but it doesn’t change the fact you don’t have breakfast
I specifically said you don’t offer breakfast during the week that’s Monday through Friday, no breakfast, that’s five days out of seven you don’t offer breakfast. Having 1 thing does not considered you having a breakfast menu. It ok though it’s Deer Park theres millions of places that have food especially breakfast we will just move on. I gave you two stars because we have to move on because of you.

Parking: I park in handicapped and it’s right in front of the front door. It’s very convenient“

“Went here yesterday for their Cinco de Mayo celebration, and I’m glad we did! Starting at 6p they had a Mexican mariachi band, and it was such good entertainment.The restaurant was packed as you would expect on this day, but the service was phenomenal. It didn’t matter whose table we were assigned to, everyone helped in all different stages of our meal.We started off with a coconut margarita and a peach margarita. They were good and you could taste the alcohol that put in there.The second and third coconut margarita came with real coconut in the drink, and that definitely was a seller for us.They start off with fresh made tortilla chips and homemade salsa. The salsa was fresh and great flavor, however if you can handle even a tiny bit of spice, I wouldn’t have it. It got hotter the more you ate it.We ordered their ‘alitas con chipotle’ which is their chicken wings, and oh goodness they were great. Only thing I have to say is they are double fried and on the smaller side, but their chipotle sauce was the best sauce I’ve ever tasted in my life. It is on the hotter side, but to me personally it was not too bad, the the flavor was bursting in my mouth. We actually ordered another side of the sauce for the wings because it was practically drinkable as is, and then another side for our entrees.We ordered ‘camarones caribeños’ which is their coconut shrimp with fries and salad. The coconut shrimp had appeared to be burnt when it was set on the table, however they weren’t and it was delicious. We dipped the coconut shrimp into the chipotle sauce… and that is what this place should offer with this dish. The sweet and savory together really burst in your mouth. The fries were typical fries, soft and could’ve been fried a tad more.We also ordered their ‘fajitas en Sartén’ with chicken. It came out sizzling with green peppers, onions, and tomatoes with a plate of guacamole, refried beans, rice and sour cream. We poured the chipotle sauce on the fajitas, and once again, we were baffled with the taste fusion.We loved this sauce so much that I told our waitress that I would buy the sauce if they were willing to sell it to me. I asked her to give me however much she could, and she gave me 4oz.We additionally ordered the ‘flan de tres leches’ and it tasted like a flan, and less like tres leches.Overall, would come back here in a heart beat.“

“We come here often for lunch. The buffalo and Vanessa burritos are our favs plus the quesadillas are the best around and huge. This review is specifically about catering order I placed over the weekend. We made a very last minute order for a taco party pack and Avocados went out of their way to accommodate. The food was great and large portions as always.“

“Wow just wow. So good. I got the hot table food which there was a wide selection. Very affordable. My small plate with rice and chicken was only $5. The chicken literally fell off the bone so delicious. I couldn’t believe how good it was. I wanted to take a video/pic but I couldn’t stop eating maybe next time.“

“Today was my first time at Salsa Salsa. As soon as I walked in, a very personable young man helped me. I asked what his favorite salad was and he told me the Shrimp Avocado. Let me tell you, it is the best salad I have ever had! Absolutely delicious!
I also asked what Margarita was popular and he said the Pogo, which is passion fruit and guava.
I took it all home and enjoyed an incredibly amazing meal.
I highly recommend Salsa Salsa.“

“We would like to thank Anthony and TJ of Cabofresh in Stony Brook donated 50 burritos to Mather hospital today!! 25 chicken and 25 veggie burritos! Amazing people! Super generous!! Thank you Anthony and TJ for your support!!“

“The tacos, the nachos, the burritos, the quesadillas, this is the place you never knew you needed!! By the way they have more yummy choices, I just haven’t gotten through them yet!!“

“Always a great experience at viva la vida! Great food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommend“

“this was my second time there and enjoyed the food and the strawberry margarita. Their guacamole is the best ever! The lady's room was very bright and clean. The manager Manuel was gracious and pleasant. Looking forward to going there again“

“I ordered shrimp tacos and chips with guacamole. Their guacamole is so, so good! Creamy and salty and not too oniony. The shrimp had a nice sear on them and the condiments added good flavor. Price point was excellent for shrimp.

Parking: The lot for this shopping center is poorly designed, and lots of customers park along the fire lanes because they think who they are, but there’s an overflow lot behind salsa salsa and the laundromat that is easier and sometimes even closer than if you were to try to park in the main lot.

Kid-friendliness: The dining space is small but the metal tables and booths are good for kids. High top counter seating available as well.“

“Amazing authentic Mexican restaurant in East Northport. Cozy restaurant with amazing service

Yummy refreshing white sangria

Amazing fish tacos and chicken tacos

And the mole on the enchiladas is almost as yummy as the mole made during the Mole Festival in San Francisco Tetlanochan, Tlaxcala, Mexico

You have to try it“

“Nice place and attendants“

“Some of the best food and service around. The most authentic vibe and experience and greatest atmosphere around. Couldn't recommend a place higher. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant on Long Island. Not only for all I mentioned above, but because the food absolutely top tier. The best Mexican food I've had in the area.“

“Listen man.. i’m a harsh food critic. I rate everything I eat from 1-10 & Its very rare for me to give something a 10. I had a torta from them and it was by farrrrrrrr THE best tortas ive had. Ive tried many from the east to the west coast & they are IT.
A SOLID 10/10 RECOMMEND!“

“Great food !!! Fast service !“

“Bang Bang Burrito has the best quality Mexican food!!! It’s consistently fresh and delicious, unfortunately the errors with food are consistent as well. Order from here a lot and nearly every time there’s a mistake with food. Very frustrating but I continue to order because I love the food. Tonight my burrito bowl not only came without the beans but they really skimped on the cheese as well.“

“best tacos and burritos around don't be fooled because its a truck tastes as good as the restaurant if not better“

“I get lunch from Vallarta at least once a week for several years now. The staff is friendly and the food is consistently delicious, with a larger menu than your typical fast-mexican spot. Strongly recommend skipping the chains and giving these folks a try!“

“Hidden gem, big food portions! Don't overlook this little place it's one of my favorites on the island I'm a vegetarian and they have plenty of options for me. don't underestimate their drinks they do NOT skimp out on alcohol! Salute! ?“

“Checked them out today. I tried the steak taco...it was absolutely delicious ! Staff was friendly, restaurant is clean everything's was fresh . Definitely worth checking out“

“This location wasn’t very busy, so service was quick, and decently friendly. Meal was tasty and enjoyable; very filling. This was my first time at this location, and I am not a regular patron of the business in general, but I would definitely consider going back to this location, or one closer to my home.“

“I'll start off by saying there chicken tacos are outta this world, cooked fresh to order. Just Alittle disappointed in when placing order n asking for pricing I was given 3 different prices. Online supposed to get 3 tacos any meat and a soda for 12.48, I got the 3 a soda and one churro, and was charged 16.00. truck is in the unkuchueg reservation in mastic NY.“

“The food here is amazing, like actually some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Just be warned that the online ordering system on their website is not connected in store, they will not receive your order and you will have to re-order in store. Also none of the employees speak English, but that’s pretty expected for anywhere with authentic delicious Mexican food!“

“I had a very pleasant experience. The staff were welcoming and the service was efficient. I ordered a few tacos with a drink. The menu had plenty of options so I definitely would want to try more but what I had was delicious and quick. I would definitely come back and I would recommend this place.“

“Always fresh and delicious, a Bohemia gem for authenticity and quality food. Clean clean clean and underrated for this level of deliciousness.“

“Every time I visit this establishment, Wendy greets me with a smile: her entire team is super friendly, attentive and makes you feel like part of the family. Edwin is hilarious, always makes me laugh and honestly my visit alone deserves a 10/10 with customer service. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE FOOD!! Each dish is an explosion of flavor, truly delicious, and you can tell they put their heart into their food. On the weekends they have an authentic champurrado that I swear is to die for. This establishment is truly a must visit for anyone looking for the ultimate taco experience! But don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself!!
Oh and if you are lucky enough to visit when they have special tamales I IMPLORE YOU TO TRY THEM - but don't take them all, I need at least ten at a time. MINIMUM“

“Each Mexican restaurant makes their dishes differently. I went with my family and we ordered a Cuban cake. They were different from other cakes I've tried. That's why he said it's different because the tacos are just as great as many I've tried.“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“
