It has a long history in the community and has a huge following. If you know you know. Don't be scared - check it out. We did and we are happy 😁“

“the Pico is always fresh and the service is great“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I came in just to grab a quick bite to eat but everything looks so delicious.

I don't know what they call it but I tried a cactus leaf and it was delicious. It has such a flavor that is similar to I guess an artichoke but also very different at the exact same time.

I had two chicken tacos and one chorizo. I love the fact that they have a bar where you can add as much salsa and toppings as you want.

So delicious.

The place is so clean and spotless it's not even funny. Guys behind the counter are awesome and I already be back.“

“This is our go-to restaurant, what a gem. Delicious food, super friendly people, and Juan makes the best margaritas that I have ever had! We highly recommend this spot, make sure you try one of their specials.“

“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!!“

“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..“

“Friendly staff, great variety of food!🌮🌯“

“I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. The staff are friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is beautiful! Feels as if you walked straight into a Caribbean beach front restaurant.

The food is priced well and delicious! My wife and I ordered 2 tacos with rice and bean side. The chicken tacos were juicy and soft. The steak taco was by far the best steak taco I have had and I've visited many a taco places. The sauce they use on the tacos is delightful! Rice and beans were delicious too! Not dry or hard. Cooked just right.

The piña colada was not overly sweet which was a surprise. Many places make it too sweet.

The desert we ordered was the cheesecake chimichanga! Boy what a treat! It was the perfect compliment to our lunch meal. The cheese cake filling was soft and the ice cream with a slice of orange underneath was good too. The orange slice gave the ice cream a hint of orange flavor 😋 👌.

Its our 4th visit and we will be going again!“

“I found this after my midnight workout driving down DPA coming home from the gym. Little pricey(but what isnt) but all in all, the food was down right delicious. Then a week later, I got a craving for it again. Mix and match what you want in the wraps or bowl, LIttle of this , little of that, put that sauce here on the side. The hot salsa has a kick.“

“This place was awesome. Food was really good. Drinks were strong. Service was friendly and attentive. Our server Orlando was extremely nice and knew when to come to the table and when to let you eat. Everyone was accommodating that worked there. Will be coming back.“

“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“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Great place to celebrate & outdoor tables in summer to enjoy with your dogs…“

“On busy nights when we want something quick, healthy, and satisfying, the CrossFit menu is a standout—chicken and shrimp always cooked to perfection, and the salsa and guacamole are always fresh and flavorful. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is just as reliable. Oscar, the owner, is exceptional—always attentive, efficient, kind, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for every customer. We’re grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood!“

“Great local restaurant with a ton of options on the menu. The food was unanimously amazing, the service was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. My wife and I split the Bandeja Paisa platter and it was so much food we had a full serving left over to bring home. My toddler’s cheese quesadilla was delicious. Looking forwards to eating here again soon!“

“We came in to grab a quick bite before the movies and we were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. It has a homey vibe to it inside and plenty of regulars. I went with a safe bet of a chicken quesadilla and we also ordered sopes. I wish I ordered double the sopes! They were packed with so much flavor it was so delicious. The quesadilla was so yummy and cheesy. For $30 we got great food, 2 drinks and a craving for more! I will definitely be coming back to try more !“

“I first tried Porky Cochinita after being recommended by my brother. Let me tell you how amazing this place was, and from great tasting food to amazing service it was all the best. I called about an order for 30 people and actually messed up the date of the order. And I went into panic mode, but they handled it like professionals without making me feel bad about my huge error! I received stellar service when I called and initially placed my order. And great communication via text. I will not hesitate to use them in the future and they handled my catering order so well. I cater food a lot and have had varied experiences, and this has been one of the best. If you love tacos, burritos, etc this is your place!! Don’t hesitate, just do it!“

“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“

“los tacos de birria con su consome son lo mejor y si pides un agua fresca de tamarindo .. los mejores que e probado ...“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

“Son ricas las Tortas y los tacos 🌮, se los recomiendo 😋😋😋“

“The food was delicious. I ordered a grilled chicken taco and classic beef taco. The food was the perfect temperature and the seasoning with sour cream on top was great. It was a buy one get one free promotion from Ubereats.
I did not dine inside but I did a pick up for my order and the cashier was pretty quick and friendly during the brief interaction.“

“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.“

“very very good food. fast service. no heartburn...9.5 on my taco scale 👍“

“Nice place and attendants“

“Great food. Centereach location is where I go frequently. Staff is great.“

“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!“

“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“

“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! ?“

“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!“

“Delicious food and great drinks“

“I brought a small group of developmentally disabled adults to Moe's in Centereach for dinner. The staff were patient with them and helpful too . All of the food was good. There was a nice variety of drinks from the Coke Freestyle machine, plus a machine for iced tea, which I like.“

“Los recomiendo asen rica comida“
