“been waiting to try this place for YEARS since i first heard abt it. its like an elevated chipotle bowl LOL. solid meal and huge portions.I got the fat boys barbacoa and my friend got the hawaiian. Mine was lacking a little sauce so was a bit dry but overall, enjoyable anyways. My friend’s shrimp was so good. Might come back to try their shrimp + fish tacos.“

“First time in here. It was quiet at about 12:00. Parking in the lot was easy. I was tended to right away. I chose a salad bowl with sautéed zucchini, carne asada, pico, and & shredded cheese. The food was phenomenal. I would definitely go back when I’m in the area.“

“Compared to maracas or guacamole time across the street, this place is on point. Had the Birria and theu were delishish. Across the street they put Chipotle sauce in their Birria for some ungodly reason and it's terrible . Limon tasted like Dirty Taco. I will be trying more things off the “

“My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and it’s was incredible. The food was so delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful. I got a chicken burrito and he got the skirt steak and we both loved our meals. The guacamole was outstanding. I highly recommend this place.“

“Had a very pleasant experience. Great dinner food. Had the turkey club panini and the veggie burger. I'd recommend both.The turkey club panini was a fresh take on turkey club. The tomato was still a bit cold which was odd, I thought it would be warm, but I had no issue with that. Good flavor.“

“I decided to give this place a try. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I chose a custom salad with adobo chicken and a slew of toppings and even a decent portion of guacamole on it for no extra cost. Their Chicken quesadilla was huge and well balance with my choice ingredients. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Qdoba, they do everything right. I believe prices to portion ration is fair. The only downside I think is that possibly they just don't stand out enough vs the competition. I definitely recommend this place.“

“Let me tell you the place is not too big it only had two tables. But I'm here to talk about the food is real authentic Mexican food really delicious & they even have Mexican products like the paletas my favorite is the mango with chile is sweet and spicy at the same time very refreshing. Now the service was good very respectful gentlemen.“

“Besito has done a great job transitioning to the south shore. The atmosphere is different from the Huntington location, but only in a way that makes it feel like it's always been in West Islip. The food is superb, and although the menu doesn't highlight this, their complimentary tortilla chips and salsa are homemade, and it shows. We have now been there three times, and we have yet to be disappointed by the food or staff. My last foray to their dining room, I indulged in the Arrechera (skirt steak). It was lightly marinated and cooked to my liking; medium rare. I was expecting it to be cooked correctly, but I was ill-prepared to find it so tender. Also, as an aperitif... I highly recommend their El Pepino Margarita. What a refreshing mix of fresh cut jalapeños, cucumber and high-quality alcohol.“

“Chico's Tex Mex is my go-to spot for incredible food at an unbeatable price. I find myself dining here at least twice a week, and each visit leaves me thoroughly satisfied. The staff is always friendly. Absolutely amazing food. From their flavorful tacos to their burritos, every dish is a testament to their dedication to quality and taste. If you're craving delicious Tex Mex cuisine without breaking the bank, Chico's is the place to be.“

“This place had amazing service and even more amazing food. Got the Mi Pueblo Burrito, the Mi Pueblo Nachos, the Suiza Enchiladas, and a Watermelon Martini, and everything was very nicely plated and cooked very well. Our server was in training but she did a great job and was very nice. I was a little sad they werent very busy on a saturday night because they deserve to have more customers.“

“In the event you're down and quarantining with Covid or flu, do yourself a favor and order a delivery of Tortilla soup! It does the body good, is so healing and will help your throat. Just spicy enough with chicken and toppings included, a large order is good for a couple of meals. The mini enjoyed a large portion of Pork Nachos and a side of rice & beans.I've not been in the restaurant, but the delivery option made me happy!“

“We hired Right coast Taqueria to celebrate my 40th birthday party and right from the very second that I reached out for information Nancy was efficient, accommodating and so extremely easy to work with! She gave me every detail I needed! In fact, it was between Right Coast and another company and because of Nancy's communication alone I knew they were the ones to go with and I would be in good hands! The Day of my event was a complete monsoon and they still showed up on time, put up a tent and got started! The tacos were AMAZING!! I am writing this review 3 days later and still enjoying the leftovers as if they were from that night! I would 10 times over recommend them and use them again! Thank you for a wonderful party Right Coast!“

“Cute place, delicious food. The chicken enchiladas and chorizo taco were spectacular. I was a little upset that the menu said the enchiladas came with beans and rice and I didn't get any, but I already had enough food to fill me up, so it wasn't a big deal. Next time, I really want to try the beans and rice, though. ?“

“We had a great time the hostess might have forgotten about us which was a little bit disappointing but I am rating 5 starts because of the waitress Yudith (I hope I am spelling her name right) she was so pleasant, fast and made sure everything was done right. She recommended a delicious drink and got our food order quick.Had the steak quesadillas for appetizers delicious and I had the Argentinian steak with rice and red pinto beans cooked to perfection.Parking: The parking is a bit small the place gets full quick so if it's a Saturday or Sunday it might be an issue to find parking“

“A delicious find! I happened to be shopping in the area and decided to try out Cabo. So glad I did! I purchased the shrimp and mango baja bowl. I customized the bowl with extra veggies. I loved the freshness of the food, and the flavor of the red sauce and shrimp were excellent ? I will definitely be back“

“I ordered the Al pastor Mexico taco trio and a couple of beef tacos tonight 12/02/23. The food was delicious!!! The hot sauces both green and red.... delicious!! I ordered for take out and the order was ready quickly. The business is easily recognized as you drive up and passed. The place is clean and has a few tables for sitting down for a meal if you choose. I will certainly order from them again and I would recommend to anyone to give them a try! Well done ?“

“The food was amazingly delicious and authentic. The carnitas was nice and fatty and flavorful. What I didn't like was mostly the "no price posted because it can change" policy. There were no prices on the menu. I was told " $12 for 3 tacos and soda."". Then, when I was paying for my food, I was told soda was not included. I had to wonder if they had a different price for me because I didn't speak Spanish. The surroundings also were not the cleanest. Sidewalk was covered with dirt and debris, and the food truck was between an auto shop and a laundramat.“

“I just hosted my son's first birthday party at shrimpys burrito bar of east islip in their new event space and they did not disappoint! The owners Ryan & John were so accommodating allowing us to decorate, bring in kids entertainment and the food was absolutely delicious. Mikayla handled our event and everything was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone left full and happy! I would 100% recommend using their new space for events!“

“Have cash! I loved my 3 tacos. I do wish they had spicier salsa. My husband had the torta milanesa de rez, he was disappointed that did not have avocado or cheese. Not sure if that is extra, but we are used to other places that do include cheese and avocado. He enjoyed it nonetheless. We came from out east in a snowsquall on the way. It was worth it. Ps. Yelp has wrong address. Foodie life ?“

“The atmosphere gets 2 stars because the music is so loud that you can't have a conversation. Maybe they keep it loud to you get out of there quicker because there's always a wait of 45 minutes or more. Sad because we've been coming here since 2013, when you could sit and enjoy a meal without ear damage. :(“

“Stopped in on Taco Tuesday and enjoyed their taco special. 10 tacos, 2 different meats, so we tried all four: steak, carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. Next time I'll just get the chorizo and carnitas tacos. Not that steak or chicken were bad options, but chorizo and carnitas were my favorites. The staff were friendly and helpful.“

“Traveling from out of state and was brought to Salsa Salsa and I was AMAZED by my experience! They have an extensive selection of margarita flavors and a fabulous and fresh menu. Our group had ordered a traditional margarita, a black cherry margarita, and their seasonal "shamrock margarita" all of which were delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor. The staff was knowledgeable and a joy to interact with. The owner Chris took the time to chat with us and brought out many hot sauce flavors for us to try and gave us his recommendations. Our server Justin was friendly and attentive. I can tell this is an establishment run with passion and pride... Will definitely return next time I'm in town!“

“My family and I went in because it looked appealing from the outside. Once inside we were seated and we ordered. Food was very delicious. We had four different kinds of taco and drinks as well as an appetizer of guacamole and chips. The gentlemen (I think he was the manager), was tending to us. He was very pleasant and ensured our food and drink was satisfying. Good atmosphere, not too light not to dark, many windows so when the sun is in place, light inside is not really necessary. Music was nice, not loud or overly bass like some restaurants. I would definitely recommend.“

“I drive 15 minutes out of my way in both directions to come here. The restaurant has a simple, but clean and friendly atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and the service is on point.I usually get the west islip lion burrito. Its got everything you wouldn't put in your every day burrito, but it hits the spot every time.I also get the meatless nachos which is loaded with toppings. Its almost impossible to get a nacho chip with nothing on it. Their empanadas are delicious as well.Just after writing this review, I noticed there was bacon in the burrito I ordered. I don't eat pork, so I called the restaurant to ask how to handle it since I don't live close. Not only did they make me a new one, but they drove all the way to my house 15 minutes away just to get my order and gave me a piece of tres leches cake. I've never had tres leches cake I've liked, but this cake is delicious.You guys are awesome. Thank you“

“My second time here, at the mobile stop conveniently located on the South service road of LIE at exit 60. Perfect if you coming home on the train. We ordered nachos, salsa and queso dip. Chips were made to perfection lightly salted, salsa a different flavor than I'm used to but excellent I can't quite peg what the difference is but it's great. Same with the queso. I had the Mongolian burrito it had a kick with lime and the beef was phenomenally dressed and crispy. My one critique would be it wasn't wrapped to tight but all good I ate some out with a fork. We had the shrimp and fish tacos as well, "it was everything I wanted". Direct quote. They changed up the outside since I was there last, no more picnic tables (maybe it's a seasonal thing). They've got a couple games to play as you wait for your food. Some nice string lights and flowers make a puppy vibe. 10/10 will be back.“

“I have start out by saying I was upset when the old Mexican food place closed in the mall. But now that Los Amigos is here in the food court...I am fulfilled once again with something so much better! I had the steak tacos and wow these rival some of the best taco places I have been to. Do they cost a little more...yes. Are they worth $10 for 2 tacos...yes...yes! Just look at what you get fresh steak, taste Guacamole, fresh real cheese, crisp lettuce, topped with sour cream. All in a nice corn tortilla that stays together down to the last bite! Go get some of this fantastic food! And wash it down with an old fashioned Coke.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and had no reaction to taco ingredients.“

“Normally a 5 star experience because we love their food, but we got cold tortilla chips and stale cookies. Also, some veggie items were out, so we got bottom of the barrel small portions. This was during dinner time on a weekend, so they should have been a little more prepared. Hopefully this is a one time issue, because we’ve been coming for years.“
“Very nice, clean and affordable. It didn't have much sitting space, so as long as you're fine with being on a small stool and facing the wall, you can enjoy their nice handmade corn tortillas. The beans are very nice traditional Salvadorian as well. I had a Jarritos, rice, beans, pork and tortillas and paid a little less than $9. Definitely worth it and would visit again.“

“Great food, great selection, large burritos, friendly service, orders are prepared and given correctly. Tasty and fresh food as well. Clean restaurant. When extremely large orders are ordered and delivered, and there are any issues (rarely happens, but it does), a simple phone call rectifies the problem. They do what they can to make the customer happy.Chips are crunchy and fresh. Guacamole is very clearly made the same day, if not that hour. No browning on it. Cilantro and tomatoes are fresh and not wilted at all. No complaints.It's my go-to (and the company I work for) burrito place in Bohemia, NY.Vegetarian options: Plenty to eat for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: You can ask them to customize your order to fit your dietary restrictions.Parking: Plenty of parking spaces on the side and in the back and also on the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the food and the atmosphere is kid-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible from outside to inside.“
