“Our family hosted a luncheon for approx 25 people at Cabo in the atrium space at the rear of the restaurant. Angelo and his team were outstanding! The quality and diverse selection of the food was second to none! Not only were our meat eaters satisfied, but so were our vegan and gluten free guests. Angelo and his staff were so attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend Cabo for anyone looking for a private party space but also for that nice dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and value. Well done Cabo!!“

“☺️The empanadas are so fantastically delicious! The empanadas were made fresh for us and they accommodated the time I needed for pickup. The price is great and the service is excellent. Best ever and they can make for large orders.“

“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.“

“We came here on a thurs even around 6pm...Was pretty crowded but got a table in the middle..The sound level is pretty high at 3/4 capacity but somehow you seem to flow with it because of the atmosphere... People enjoying good mex food are more enjoyable to be around for some reason..anyway...lighting as with most place is difficult to read menu but once the order was in,alot of fun...I noticed the food to be very FRESH...I immediately tasted that in the beans on my Mexican special and the Flautas,chimichanga etc were all delicious stuffed and perfectly cooked!..Fajita steak was so nicely marinated and charred but med inside..Perfect!..Wait staff were all very pleasant....I enjoyed my visit and will defin visit during a slow day,maybe lunch for a lil more quiet....“

“The absolute best, most authentic Latin food in NY! You want real, here it is and it’s the only place to get it. Literally everything is homemade by a mother and son team from the area. Empanadas… delicious, Chimi… delicious, Wings… got that secret Dominican sauce that only the owner has! A must eat!!!“

“buena música dj en vivo y buen ambiente sobre todo muy buena seguridad...“

“One of the best burritos I’ve ever had! I ordered the ‘Everything’ and it was an explosion of flavors. Fresh, delicious and amazing! It was clearly made with love. This one-woman run little spot is incredible and I highly recommend it.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en new Hyde park buena comida , buena atención.🌮🌮🌮🍺“

“It was my first time trying Empanada Queen, a food truck in Baldwin, and overall, it was a decent experience. They had a deal for 10 empanadas for $28, so I decided to try a variety. I went with shrimp, beef, chicken, and mac and cheese empanadas. The flavors were all pretty tasty, with the shrimp, beef, and chicken being the standouts. However, I wasn’t a fan of the mac and cheese one—it just didn’t have the right texture or flavor I was expecting.

The wait time was short, which was a nice surprise, especially since it was freezing outside! I was glad to have the car to wait in while the food was being prepared.

One thing to note is that the outer shell of the empanadas was quite hard, which made them a bit tough to bite into. On the positive side, the fillings themselves were flavorful. The only other downside was that they only offer one sauce, which had a bit of spice to it. While I didn’t mind it, I wish there were a few more sauce options to choose from.

I'd still recommend it if you're in the area and craving empanadas.“

“Good place for dinner , good service“

“We had a great experience at El Mercadito! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented with vibrant colors. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

The portion sizes were excellent, giving great value for the price. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommend El Mercadito if you’re looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

My only feedback is that there is just one restroom shared by both men and women. The restroom was very clean, but personally, I would have preferred separate restrooms.“

“muy bueno el pollo frito y el pollo asado“

“sabrosa comida 😋 💯 recomendado ☺️“

“Went to Chefs Corner this morning for breakfast. Got an omelette and it was absolutely delicious.. FANTASTIC place. The staff was awesome. Thank you Mary Ellen for your hospitality !! 👍🏻 Can’t wait to go back …“

“Aside from the deliciousness, we loved the variety offered! You have your classics like beef and chicken, and traditional like pastelon and beef and cheese. Can’t wait to try others like chorizo and potato, Pernil and Cuban! Great option to add to our food choice rotation. Bonus, the staff is super sweet!!“

“La comida es deliciosa recomiendo“

“After moving to LI I tried a few Salvadoran restaurants but by far this one is my go to, the Panes con pollo were Amazing, just brought back so many childhood memories, the pupusas are good the repollo could use a few more days as to me a bit to fresh I like it a bit more cured, but that’s self preference so no knock to them…“

“Small, intimate, very authentic Peruvian restaurant. More of a take-out type of restaurant pace, but our party of 3 sat at one of their tables to enjoy the ambience. Their version of Churrasco was particularly good, as were their fried potatoes. Plus the Maduros with rice and a fried egg on top was so good!
All in all, a very enjoyable experience was had by all ♿“

“Some of the best Spanish food I’ve ever had in my life. The people serving are always very polite. They give a great portion of food, it’s always fresh and the price is pretty reasonable. Definitely give this place a 10/10 , highly recommend.“

“I walked in here on a whim one day a few months ago. My go-to deli down the block had closed down. I needed somewhere to get my egg sandwiches. I'm so glad I did. They're better than the old deli, and less expensive. Almost every day, I order a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. With hot sauce, pepperjack, on a toasted bun. It's consistently perfect, and for only $3, the best deal in the neighboorhood. I'll be a customer as long as I live here.“

“Hermoso lugar , comida rica y el personal muy agradable 😉“

“Buen lugar para busca todos los que necesita la comida es bien buena el personaje son bueno estucado @TAXI_ESCOBITA CORP 24/7 sevicio en HEMPSTEAD y UNIONDALE Llámanos 516-476-2095“

“The food is definitely delicious—fresh off the grill every time. I used to drive past this place all the time until a friend finally brought me here. We ordered the chicken and steak, and the total came to about $22. I also got a small mixed drink for around $4.

About a month later, I came back and ordered the exact same thing, but my total was almost $40. I noticed the menu board had been updated, even though the online menu still looked similar to what I saw on my first visit.

I understand prices go up, but that kind of increase in such a short time is a lot—especially in Hempstead. 😅

The staff is excellent, the restaurant is clean, and the food is genuinely good. I don’t mind paying a little more for quality, but the pricing should still feel reasonable. Hopefully they can offer some specials, combos, or other accommodations because I’d love to keep coming back.“

“We had a special request with our catering order and they handled everything perfectly. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Thank you!“

“Delicious flavor just like I imagined good home cooking“

“👍👍 muy buena comida 🥘 con el mejor atendimiento para pasarlo en familia“

“Excelente servicio Amable“

“La esquisita comida 🥘 mmm“

“I was craving a Cubano. I should have asked how they make theirs. The sandwich I got was good but it wasn't a Cubano. My idea of a Cuban sandwich is Roast pork, sliced ham, swiss cheese, a pickle and mustard. Hero bread pressed flat. I hear some people use salami instead of ham. The sandwich I recieved had no pickle no cheese no mustard and was not pressed. I'll give them another try because their food looked good in the trays. If I get another Cubano, I'll ask them if they can make it my way.“

“I was referred here by my friend who buys food from here often and shared and it's always delicious. My husband and I come from long island as often as we can now because we have never been disappointed with all the food we bought. Staff and owners are wonderful and very welcoming and grateful for our patronage which we love. The portions are great and pleasantly pleased that they include plantains. My absolute favorite is the beef stew, always mouth watering and tender. We will continue to return. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

“A delicious and affordable buffet filled with lots of options conveniently located near the beach and the LIRR. We’ll be in town this weekend for Memorial Day, and I’m looking forward to eating there again.“

“I ordered lemon juice with oatmeal, and they sent me oatmeal with orange. In addition, the juice flavor was from a packet, the hot dogs had very little meat, and the cabbage was unseasoned. Please consider your customers because we pay for this. You need to provide better customer service. Thank you.“

“Best central American home cooked food delicious flavor clean place and nice staff“

“The Mata Niño cakes and breads were delicious. The environment very clean and pleasant. The only thing I didn't like was the girl who took my order, she was very serious and made angry faces, maybe she had something wrong. But apart from that everything is fine 10/10“

“excelente muy deliciosa la comida u un buen servicio👌👌“
