“KTO Cuisine is a hidden gem for those seeking authentic, homemade Latin food. Their mission to deliver delicious dishes is evident in their menu, which features tantalizing options such as birria tacos, quesadillas, and pupusas. Located along Sunrise Highway in Bay Shore, this eatery offers a delightful culinary experience that deserves recognition.Their signature dish, the Birria Tostadas, is a true masterpiece that combines crunch and flavor in every bite. Picture a crispy tortilla topped with melted cheese, tender birria, fresh cilantro and onion, and a dollop of guacamole, accompanied by a side of consomé. The harmonious blend of textures and flavors makes this dish an instant favorite.They have very quick service as well.In my personal experience, I found the meat in the birria tacos to be deliciously cooked, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen. The tacos themselves provided a satisfying crunch, and the cheese added a delightful creaminess that elevated the overall taste. While it is true that the consomé portion might be smaller compared to some NYC establishments, it still complemented the dish adequately and didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the meal.The interior of KTO Cuisine exudes a modest charm with its medium-sized, simple decor. The focus here is on the food itself, allowing guests to fully appreciate the flavors and aromas without distractions. The inviting ambiance creates a comfortable space where you can savor the Latin cuisine in a relaxed setting.In conclusion, KTO Cuisine in Bay Shore offers a delightful culinary experience for those seeking homemade Latin food. While considering the diverse opinions of others, it's important to appreciate the deliciously cooked meat, crunchy tacos, and flavorful cheese that characterize their signature dish. Keep in mind that KTO Cuisine is not in NYC, but it offers its own unique charm and culinary offerings that deserve recognition. Visit KTO Cuisine to embark on a flavorful journey through Latin cuisine that will leave your taste buds satisfied.“

After going here for so long when I try empanadas at other hispanic locations they do not bring the same taste to the table. This place never gets old nor how many times I come with my mom or take my hispanic girlfriend here. Highly recommend ??Kid-friendliness: They have a ping pong table ?“

“The only reason I would advise not eating here is if you have a gluten allergy. That is the only reason why I have given it a 4/5.Absolutely delicious food!My family and I love eating here!Staff is friendly, wait time on weekdays are short, very clean, great atmosphere.If I wasn’t stuck on the toilet with a slight tummy ache right now, I wouldn’t have felt the urge to write a review but having knowledge about a food allergy is extremely important especially for chefs and restaurants alike.Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten allergy.I informed the waiter who listened carefully and took note of my allergy.I had the Camarones al Ajillo Sobre Arroz.It was fantastic but I still had an allergic reaction.I would not recommend eating here if you have a gluten allergy.“

“Came to write my review so fast. Chicken tacos were delicious. I got them doordashed and they were still so hot, double wrapped with a soft corn shell so they didn’t get soggy, and then individually wrapped in tin foil. I appreciate this level of care because tacos can get messy. The chicken was tender and juicy and the flavors were on point, and the tacos were filled well for the price! Highly recommend“

“Love the food, but the service could have been better. I think it was just this time because every other time that I had been there the service was great. This time people came after us with larger parties than us ( we had 3 people) got their drinks before us. Ate and left the restaurant before us. It's sad because we were the only non Spanish group in that area of the restaurant at that time. I love the food, usually the service, and the manager is a very nice gentleman. We probably should have told him about our service, but we try not to get people into trouble when we go out to eat. You never know when you will be there again. I'll be back because I love their food, but I will definitely avoid that server next time.Parking: You just have to get there early if you want to beat the dinner rush on the weekends.“
