“I wasnt ware that a place so good were in my neck of the woodsso i recently tried the island-inspired Cuban sandwiches at "Island Empanadas," located in Ronkonkoma and they were absolutely delightful! The extra cheese and sweet plantains added a perfect touch. I highly recommend anyone to come and savor these delicious flavors.“

The owner, Juan (I recently met him), always welcomes his customers with a smile, and along with his staff, provides excellent service. I love the pupusas and chicken tamales.

“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.

“I just left after having breakfast here for the first time. I’m very happy with the food and service. They have a steam table for lunch or dinner. The selection is phenomenal and the quality of food is super. It was nice meeting you today and I’ll definitely be back!“
“This place is great! They have the best food! Every time I order take out they get it right every time. Never an issue with something left out or not cooked enough or even it not being hot when I get home. They do a great job! Very efficient like a well oiled machine. I cannot say enough about them. The chief should be commended everything is delicious. Thank you all for doing such a great job.“
“Excellent restaurant, the food was great, I went with my co-worker and we were all surprised. The dishes came out on time. Seafood and fish very good. The best thing was the girl Gladys who served us super friendly and explained each dish…“
“This is by far my favorite place to go and have an amazing meal with such an incredible staff.. The bartenders are the nicest ever and the food is always fresh and the presentation is amazing.. They have a customer for life with me and my family… If you haven’t been there yet it’s time to try it and see for yourself how wonderful the food and the atmosphere is❤️“
“The guy who helped me, who I believe was also the Ronkonkoma IE Manager (unsure, I don't have the greatest memory), was very nice - spoke kindly, cleared my table, offered me a refill on my water. Stuff you should expect, yes, but always happy to see when excellent service is given :)“
“Everything is absolutely amazing here. The staff is incredibly sweet and willing to answer any questions. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh made tortilla shells , everything came out hot and fresh. I can’t recommend this place enough. I can’t wait to come here again“
“I've been coming to this place for about 7 years and their empanadas do not disappoint and thats for sure! 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 ?“
“Love...absolute Iove this place. The food is phenomenal and the staff is warm and welcoming. With a great selection of drinks and authentic Ecuadorian fare you cannot go wrong here. It is a staple in our date nights and family dining. Do not miss out on this jewel of Long Island dining.Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly dining options for those "pickier" eaters while allowing parents to enjoy the full menu“
“I've gone to this place a number of times of have yet to be disappointed. The staff is great, and they have the best baleadas!! The food is always fresh. Todo esta delicioso, es un buen lugar para disfrutar alimentos típicos de Honduras.“
“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“
“Food was a bit salty but good for a paella. Conch Fritas wera good try but missing the conch, but the wings were pretty tasty. Despite those little mishaps, I'd like to try some of the other dishes that looked pretty good. I'd try to see if they could customize the salt in my food. I say give it a go!“
“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.“
“This is a very beautiful place n staff are very welcoming. The atmosphere is of old Spanish, Mexican style uniquely beautiful. was there to celebrate my birthday with my family portion sizes were very generous staff replenished nachos service was very quick would definitely return to this hidden gem again their flan that they gave me my birthday served me in the restaurant was very fresh. The one I took home, had a bit of a fishy taste not sure if that’s normal was my first time ever having flan, other than that the restaurant is amazing as well as staff prices were reasonable on beyond was welcoming, would return again.Parking: Plenty of free parking as well as handicap parking, right outside location in parking lot.“
“DELICIOUS. Stumbled on this place via Google search, great surprise! Huge portions, very good prices, very clean and cozy carryout place. The food was amazing, we had pasteles, goat stew, pernil, rice & beans, and flan. Every single thing was cooked perfectly, I'm so full and uncomfortable because I couldn't stop! ?“
