I used to love this place for the food, margaritas, and atmosphere, but I won’t be back after my last visit. They advertised $5 margaritas with no time listed, gave conflicting information, and still charged full price. We reached out to the restaurant afterward and got no response — almost like they knew they were caught in a lie. Very disappointing. Make sure to ask your server about the promos before ordering, even if they have it posted on their social media!!
Laura is the best bartender. She very informative and gives amazing suggestions. We have been coming to this place for a while and her energy and friendliness is amazing.
Nice vibe
Honestly the service was fine and the place looks nice but the food was just not good. I feel bad because I don’t normally leave reviews and the staff was very nice, but I would not come here again, there are so many better options on Long Island. The apps were the best part, tacos were bad, margaritas were bad, tres leches cake is not tres leches, received a dry piece of vanilla cake that they poured cream over. The price of everything was more upsetting, I would pay that much if the food was great but it was so disappointing. Other reviews said this place was a tourist/instagram trap and I definitely agree, online it looks super fun and aesthetic but it was probably one of the worst meals I’ve had.
Everything was great about this place, the nachos were delicious, happy wife happy life 😇

My first time in this restaurant 100 %% recomend
Giving this 2 stars for the extremely overpriced food! My bill was $90 for two people. $20+ for the most mediocre chicken tacos I’ve ever had. It wasn’t bad but just wayyy too expensive for what you get.
Went on a Tuesday night and I loved the surf and turf tacos. So much flavor and it was made with steak and shrimp.
Listen the service was so fast. The drinks were great, nice vibe and the music was very mixed and nice from hiphop, reggae and Latin music.
The staff were friendly and attentive. The hookah was so smooth and reasonable price.
Oh wow - what a beautiful hidden gem of a place! We went from an unplanned search for tacos. Parking lot was full. Outside decor is urban, funky, graffiti. Interesting. Then we walked in.
We were unprepared for the decor - amazing club atmosphere, cool lighting, breathtaking wall art. I personally loved the dystopian Frida Kahlo.
Food was incredible. We went for the Mucho Macho Nachos (decadently loaded nachos) and chicken wings. Drinks were ok - little on the lighter side. For the main course we went with tacos - the fish and volcano shrimp left a lasting impression and a craving to be back.
The taco main portions (3 tacos) were large enough that we were unable to finish.
Definitely looking forward to returning here.
I just want to say I never rate any places ever so I would like to say I am extremely disappointed with the service and food here! We came here with a group of friends and they took extremely long to make our food. When we got our food me and my boyfriend split out tacos and enchiladas. I had 1 of his enchilada and he had one of my tacos. While eating and he was chewing, he found a piece of hair in his food (enchalada flight) . I tried to be logical and say maybe it was from his hat he was wearing earlier than he was like “Oh ok, you’re probably right!” and then he found another in the same one! Then we had told our waitress and she was like “ok i’ll take it off our bill” and so when I was inspecting the enchilada that he had gave me, there was ANOTHER ONE! (I had taken a photo at this point). So, at that point I did not want to eat my tacos. When we had told the waitress. She would not take off my tacos. I am extremely disappointed with the service and lack of consideration. Do better!
