“Even though our son is a professional chef and we think of ourselves as "foodies," we have only limited experience with Caribbean cuisine. That's going to change, because we will absolutely go back to Taino's to explore more of the menu. We went around 6-ish on a Monday night to celebrate my birthday, and the only other patrons were at the bar. They appeared to be regulars, and the vibe was warm and casual. Coconut shrimp is one of my guilty pleasures and I order it every time I see it on a menu. Tainos' was quite possibly the best I've ever had: enormous shrimp coated in batter and flaked coconut, fried to crispy perfection and served with a to-die-for coconut dipping sauce. I'm also a skirt steak junkie, so ordered the Churrasco al la Parrilla which is served with a large serving of rice, bowl of red beans and chimichurri sauce, all presented beautifully, complete with an orchid. I was so full from the shrimp, I took nearly all of my entree home. Our lovely waitress (also the bartender) packed up my leftovers so they were just as attractive and appetizing the next day. Everything, including the steak, reheated perfectly. Granted, at my age I have a small appetite, but I'll be finishing the second (!) half of my steak, rice and beans tonight (night #3). Our son ordered the chicken Canasta de Platano (plantain 'baskets') appetizer and grudgingly gave me only a tiny (delicious) taste. Husband ordered fried cheese, and ate a whole piece even before I could take a photo. Again, I was allowed only one bite, but know I'll order my own the next time we're there. He also ordered the skirt steak, but our son tried the Colombian platter (steak, avocado, pork cracklings, fried egg, rice and more), which he loved. He gave me the sweet corn cakes which I devoured. Can't wait to try "mofungo," which seems to be a signature dish. The oxtails look fabulous, too.“

“horrible experience. went before we saw vic dibitetto at staller center and they offered us 20% off our bill because of the show. made a reservation online and we were seatly pretty quickly but it pretty much went downhill from there. they had one waitress and she was overwhelmed. food took an hour and was cold by the time we got it. lesson learned and we wont be going again.“

“This place was awesome! The decor hits you right away, you step into the most electric atmosphere! The waiters are wearing t shirts that say, "I'm a dirty guy" on the back! And the food, let me tell you, order tacos a la carte in twos or threes, and a side. I ordered the famous "dirty tacos" every bite, beyond tasty, so fresh, and a side is black beans and rice! Went with a large group, everyone had tacos, slight variations, some spicy, but overall, everyone enjoyed the food and the drinks! As the evening went on they opened the big garage doors and we dined al fresco! There was music, Birthday celebrations, fun, great food and laughs. Would recommend this place a million times to anyone wanting to get out for a spectacular bite to eat in an electric atmosphere! Just awesome!“

“Food is amazing and plentiful for the price. The employees are so pleasant and helpful and the restaurant is so clean and comfortable to eat in. We will be back soon!“

“Stopped by today after my daughter’s tennis match and was so happy I did! Their empanadas were delicious and remind me of the ones my friend’s family would make growing up! This food truck is now on my radar! Keep up the good work!“

“Tried their food for the first time and it was delicious. My kids and I will definitely be going back.
The only thing is that I wish they’d tell you when you call in an order that its cash only. Because I went there and I didn’t have cash only my card. However, they were generous and helped me out since it was my first time there.“

“Great lunch today and this was our first time there. Really delicious. Thank you 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Listen man.. i’m a harsh food critic. I rate everything I eat from 1-10 & Its very rare for me to give something a 10. I had a torta from them and it was by farrrrrrrr THE best tortas ive had. Ive tried many from the east to the west coast & they are IT.
A SOLID 10/10 RECOMMEND!“

“Awesome event last night! Right coast showed up on time, with ease fed 200 residents for us and were absolutely fantastic. Everyone loved the food! I hope to have them back again!“

“Dinner was excellent! Extensive menu. Ordered from the pasta section of the menu gnocchi a la vodka with melted mozzarella on top. It was delicious. There was an unprinted kids menu that included good items like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken fingers with fries, pizza, etc on the night we went. Chose the spaghetti and meatballs and it came with a large bowl of spaghetti and two giant meatballs. My portion was huge too. They were all about service. Very friendly and attentive team members. The restaurant was very busy, but the food came out relatively quickly and very hot.

The only reason I gave the atmosphere four rather than five star rating is because the front door area was so crowded and congested when we arrived that we couldn't get through the dense and unorganized crowd to figure out where the hosts and hostesses were to request a table. We had never been there before so we had no idea if that was a line for a table or takeout. Appears the front door has a take out order counter or area there. There was a back side door that we ended up using and found some hosts in the middle of the restaurant to ask for a table. To our pleasant surprise there was table readily available for us on the patio!“

“Amazing! The Pupusas, carne asada tacos and the horchata was the best and freshest I’ve had. Will be a frequent flier here!“

“Don’t miss this place. Food is on point. Clean. Owner very nice. Great service. Cash only FYI.“

“Port Washington: Had take out (soft shrimp tacos, carne asada enchiladas) last evening. Yum will have again...“

“I want to extend a huge thank you to Leo for inviting us to his fantastic Tex-Mex restaurant. Del Fuego in St. James boasts a stunning interior and a lively atmosphere that perfectly complements its innovative menu.

The Skirt Steak Fajitas was a standout, featuring a bold and unexpected combination of flavors. The apple empanada with coconut ice cream was the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal.

Our server, Sarah, was exceptional. Her friendly demeanor and attentiveness made us feel right at home. She even recommended the perfect to-go dish for our kids, the churros!

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were thoroughly impressed by Del Fuego. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for a fresh take on Tex-Mex cuisine.“
