“Only Mexican cuisine I will eat and WHY: The owner Maria is kind, and caring. She puts her mind into the menu and you can taste it! The atmosphere is magnetic. It feels like you are in paradise. The food is cooked by skilled chefs. The Hostess' greet you, and immediately find a solution for you. Its a place for family and friends. There is artwork plastered all over. It's hard to be sad when you are eating at Maria's!”

“This hole in the wall place has the friendliest staff and ridiculously good food. We have been twice now and tried a variety of items on the menu and nothing has disappointed. The chips and salsa are scratch made, the burritos are large enough to share, nachos are a must-have. Vegetarian options are available. Prices are beyond reasonable; last time we went we spent $70 with drinks and tip for four people.”

Excellent people skills, attention to details and checking up on my as I wait for the food was the best service I’ve received than any fancy place I’ve been to!

“I'm usually here once a week. The food is perfect every time ( No exaggeration, 50 visits, 50 times getting exactly what I asked for) I've tried everything on the menu and they're all good. **If you're ordering fries be prepared, it's usually and extra 3 or 4 minutes because they make them to order**. If I had to have one suggestion it would be more diet/zero sugar drinks, but that's because of MY preferences. Do not miss out on this place.”

“Simply the best taco spot in the area for true street-style tacos. I used to drive all the way to Queens to get tacos like these, and now I’ve found this gem just 2 minutes from home. I ordered the birria tacos and they were absolutely amazing. The meat quality was excellent and the portions were very generous. The birria consommé was perfectly seasoned and came with a grilled jalapeño that added the perfect touch. The tacos also came with fries, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. I also tried the chorizo tostadas, and once again the portion size and flavor were incredible. The condiments were fresh and well balanced, and those came with fries too. There was so much food that it was easily enough for two people. I can’t wait to go back and try more items from the menu. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious street-style tacos, this is the spot.”

The food is consistently excellent, and the service is just as reliable. Oscar, the owner, is exceptional—always attentive, efficient, kind, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for every customer.

“There are diners and there is Peter Pan in Bay Shore at a level of great heights. My wife and I patiently waited for its reopening and our expectations were above and beyond what we expected. The decor is modern and beautiful, yet it has that warm at-home feel. The Menu consists of a variation of eclectic items that greatly touches the culinary senses with delight. Owners Nick and Peter are often present to greet the customers like old friends and the staff are very friendly, professional and thorough. From breakfast to lunch and dinner we have always enjoyed. And to boot, there is wide variety of beverages to meet all tastes. Thank you for being a part of of our lives, Peter Pan. Looking forward to partaking in your delicious meals for years to come!”

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!”

There's fancier, there's more festive... but Lindo Mexico is *special*. If you want off-the-charts deliciousness that is authentic, go to Lindo Mexico. Proud to have this restaurant in my village. It is an authentic Mexican Food experience that will make you feel like you are there: in Mexico. That is the highest compliment I can think of. Thanks, Lindo Mexico!”

“I did Texas Taco in Sayville and jad their food truck the summer prior to COVID hit and it was great! They pulled right up to house for a few hours, you can pick from different plan options and prices. If I remember correctly I think I picked an option that had up to 40 people even though I had 30 to be safe incase anyone else extra stopped by. We picked out some menu items with the owner ahead of time to be served. We set a time slot( thenowner came with truck like an hour early to prep food and get ready ahead if my start time and each guest was able to go back and forth to the truck as many times as they wanted within the few hours the truck was hired to be here. Great service( the owner and one other guy worked the truck the whole time they were here) everything made to order fresh and very good. Nothing but compliments from all my guests that day. I tipped at end and even tho I did a final tip some guests were so impressed a few threw them a few bucks during one of their many trips to the truck in my driveway that day too, even though i said I tipped they were so satisfied they wanted to top a few dollars too. It was deeelish!”
