“A Fresh Take on Fast-Casual Mexican – Bang Bang Burrito in Manhasset

I recently tried Bang Bang Burrito in Manhasset for the first time, and it’s a hidden gem for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality Mexican food. This family-owned spot operates in a Chipotle-style format but with noticeably fresher ingredients and a more personal touch.

The tacos and quesadilla were all spot-on, packed with flavor and made with care. The chips and salsa verde were another standout—crispy, fresh, and perfectly paired with the bright, tangy salsa. You can really tell they prioritize quality here.

The only small tweak I’d suggest is adding a bit more seasoning to the meats to bring out even more depth in the flavors. But overall, Bang Bang Burrito is an excellent choice for a quick yet satisfying Mexican meal in Manhasset. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The place is very well put together. the food was very good and the service was great. we stopped in for a quick drink and stayed over an hour and had lunch.“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“Very delicious food. I work in East New York, and I saw many truck drivers, workers stopping at lunchtime. I went to the restaurant, the vibe is so cool, and the tacos I ordered had different and good flavors. Fresh food, tasty, and good customer service.“

“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

“Kaur & Sunita were very kind in greeting me & my friend. They both were patient and gentle in preparing our meals. My veggie quesadilla was delicious and made exactly as I asked.
Veggie Quesdilla: sprinkled with light cheese, bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, red cabbage, spinach, & tofu.

I'll be back from New Jersey.“

“The food is great but when you get take out .. no container is closed. I had to close my meals. The foil one was a sabotage cause goodness if I didn’t catch that my food would’ve spilled! The plastic container wasn’t closed I snapped it closed so .. please be aware when you package the food.“

“This family run restaurant serves super duper tasty, authentic Mexican cuisine. I loved the Mulita pastor. Everything is high quality right down to the limes. They even make their own hot sauces! Best of all, the folks working here are so sweet and attentive. It was my first time in this neighborhood but I wish this place was closer so I could come a lot.“

Every item tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Easily a 100 out of 10. I usually order for pickup, but this was my first time trying delivery and it arrived in just 20 minutes. Fast, fresh, and seriously delicious. We’ll definitely be ordering again!!! Un review de una familia Colombia que aprecia la comida Autentica Mexicana, Muchas Gracias!“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Good food, nice fun ambiance and good Sangria!“

“Very nice Mexican place on Union Avenue. The tacos were very tasty, my friend had a torta which looked excellent. Next time i will have that. The place is very small but the help is very accommodating to help get people in and out. The food comes quickly and is very savory.“

“I love the food here. Everything is delicious and authentically Mexican. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend it. The guacamole is delicious, the nachos are scrumptious, and the tortas de azada are incredible. A great place to go with the family.“

“Enjoyed evening here! Food and service was spot on! Would definitely go back! Great restaurant!“

“Excellent quality, excellent service, guac is not extra!

They treat you with respect and dignity. When you order triple chicken, they give you triple. They do not scrimp.

This is the only Mexican chain restaurant that I will go to. The other one's portions are disrespectfully small.

QDoba gets an A+“

“Im at 5 burros always an awesome time. Can you say CHULETA? Chef Jaime has outdone himself.This is the most badass awesome chuleta I have seen in my whole life.“

“Great place Great drinks fun place to be“

“Had amazing cinco de Mayo!! Thanks for the t shirts ! Great service great food best drinks and beyond great dessert.“

“I love this place excellent service And the food delicious“

“Not a bad burrito. The grilled chicken was flavorful and moist, and the ingredients were fresh. Price was decent too. The weak link here though is the rice…

Good Mexican rice has a rough fluffy texture and a savory taste. The yellow rice they use here is slick and bland, like the kind of rice you get in a microwaveable bag. This is unfortunate because the rice makes up a good part of the burrito. I found myself emptying out as much rice out as I could.

Next time, I’ll pass on the rice.“

“Not too long ago I came here and ordered the molcajete, and it honestly blew me away. It came out sizzling hot, packed with steak, chicken, shrimp, and cactus in this smoky, flavorful sauce. Every bite was delicious, rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned.

You can tell the food’s made with care and love. The staff was friendly, the vibe was relaxed. I’m still thinking about that molcajete. definitely something I’ll be coming back for.“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“
