“The most delicious Mexican food I have eaten on Long I since I moved to New York from California 40 years ago!!It is fresh, inventive, well-prepared and nicely presented and divine. This is not your run of the mill rice and beans tacqueria that everyone on Long Island settles for. This is real authentic Mexican, the way it should be.My friend and I ordered margaritas which were perfectly bright, refreshing and served the way they're supposed to be served.The tortilla chips were fresh and the salsa had just the right amount of zing.We ordered the Empanada Mariscos appetizer, a seafood empanada appetizer which was very fresh and delicious.My friend ordered the Enchiladas Campenchano, which looked so delicious, I asked to taste the sauce. She wasn't as familiar with Mexican food. But she absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back. Amazing. Guess what I am ordering on my next visit?!I ordered the mole enchiladas. Can I say OMG!!! Rich, complex, and wonderfully silky and excellent, the mole was perfectly prepared and presented, as it should be, on corn tortillas filled with tender, juicy chicken. The Mexican chocolate in the sauce absolutely sang. Incredible. I had goosebumps!! It tasted like more.Since we were celebrating a birthday we ordered Coffe Flan!! Melt in your mouth, indescribably rich and delicious!!! It was light and smooth with just the perfect amount of coffee flavor. Succulent. The staff surprised my friend with a generous piece of tres leches with a candle on it, and they sang happy birthday to her. She was thrilled.Summary: The ambiance is bright and festive. The service is attentive and warm. The cuisine (yes, cuisine) was incredibleTlhe prices, for this level and quality, were just right and worth every penny.Bottom line: We cannot wait to go back.By the way, they also serve brunch!!“

“They moved to a bigger and better spot. Super clean and vibrant. Birria Tacos are busssssinnnn. Beef and cheese empanadas are sooo good and light. Birria Ramen is packed with so much flavor and the size is just enough for one person. Very good pricing too. I was able to try a lot of their menu for under $30. As someone who travels for work and need a place that is quick and easy but great flavor THIS PLACE IS A MUST. Don’t sleep on it. Will be back a couple more times before I head back home. ???Wheelchair accessibility: A lot of room to move around.“

“Let me stress this part, MAKE A RESERVATION! We arrived on a Friday night and of course had no reservation. We were told 20/30 minute wait for a table which we were fine with, except we waited for over an hour. After being seated we then waited for another 20 minutes before we were even greeted by a server which was quite frustrating because we were starving. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Aside from our extended waits for seating and service, the food itself was great. I ordered the "Cielo" which was a nice smooth yet strong drink. The tacos were delicious, tortillas didn't immediately fall apart and the filet mignon was juicy and tender. The sauce was amazing. Shoutout to Roberto for making the rest of our night, he did an excellent job.“

“We really liked Chicos Tex Mex. The food was great and the selection was perfect. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a small store, so don't expect to bring a large group to dine in. It was a good experience overall, and we will be ordering from here again.“

“First time in here. It was quiet at about 12:00. Parking in the lot was easy. I was tended to right away. I chose a salad bowl with sautéed zucchini, carne asada, pico, and & shredded cheese. The food was phenomenal. I would definitely go back when I’m in the area.“

“Went here for the first time. I was immediately impressed by the fact that when I ordered a lamb gyro they cooked/heated up the meat along with the gyro flatbread on the grill. This way my sandwich was piping hot and tasted fresher than places that usally keep a hot tray for the meats and dish it out. Service was also friendly. I will be back!“

“An absolute hidden gem in Patchogue village for comida authentica Mexicana! We visited for lunch around the holidays for a quick bite. We got sangria and a michelada as drinks to start. The sangria had quite a punch and the michelada had me reminiscing about that one time in Mexico. We got a shrimp sopa to share which came out hot and was super tasty. Our tortas came quickly after. I got the mixto torta which had two kinds of meat, and we also got the Cubano. After they came out we realized we could have split a sandwich because they were huge. The sandwich bread was soft and the sandwich itself was delicious. Aside from the food we got, they offer kids meals and even breakfast! They also have your typical tacos and burritos. I also loved the ambiance of the place, really gave you that feel of Mexico. I honestly cannot wait to go back and try other things they have to offer.“

“Chico's Tex Mex is my go-to spot for incredible food at an unbeatable price. I find myself dining here at least twice a week, and each visit leaves me thoroughly satisfied. The staff is always friendly. Absolutely amazing food. From their flavorful tacos to their burritos, every dish is a testament to their dedication to quality and taste. If you're craving delicious Tex Mex cuisine without breaking the bank, Chico's is the place to be.“

“This place had amazing service and even more amazing food. Got the Mi Pueblo Burrito, the Mi Pueblo Nachos, the Suiza Enchiladas, and a Watermelon Martini, and everything was very nicely plated and cooked very well. Our server was in training but she did a great job and was very nice. I was a little sad they werent very busy on a saturday night because they deserve to have more customers.“

“In the event you're down and quarantining with Covid or flu, do yourself a favor and order a delivery of Tortilla soup! It does the body good, is so healing and will help your throat. Just spicy enough with chicken and toppings included, a large order is good for a couple of meals. The mini enjoyed a large portion of Pork Nachos and a side of rice & beans.I've not been in the restaurant, but the delivery option made me happy!“

“We had a great time the hostess might have forgotten about us which was a little bit disappointing but I am rating 5 starts because of the waitress Yudith (I hope I am spelling her name right) she was so pleasant, fast and made sure everything was done right. She recommended a delicious drink and got our food order quick.Had the steak quesadillas for appetizers delicious and I had the Argentinian steak with rice and red pinto beans cooked to perfection.Parking: The parking is a bit small the place gets full quick so if it's a Saturday or Sunday it might be an issue to find parking“

“Cute place, delicious food. The chicken enchiladas and chorizo taco were spectacular. I was a little upset that the menu said the enchiladas came with beans and rice and I didn't get any, but I already had enough food to fill me up, so it wasn't a big deal. Next time, I really want to try the beans and rice, though. ?“

“Have cash! I loved my 3 tacos. I do wish they had spicier salsa. My husband had the torta milanesa de rez, he was disappointed that did not have avocado or cheese. Not sure if that is extra, but we are used to other places that do include cheese and avocado. He enjoyed it nonetheless. We came from out east in a snowsquall on the way. It was worth it. Ps. Yelp has wrong address. Foodie life ?“

“Still feeling like a newbie in my own town I've wanted to get over to Gracia's for over a year. The hype was worth it. The food was excellent. Portions were plenty. The service was fantastic. We loved looking around at the ambiance and decor. I had a delightful red sangria with a Mexican combo that was a nice sampling and delicious. My teen son had the steak fajitas and the portion and taste was incredible. The Thursday mariachi two man band lead to the liveliness of the restaurant and added to the atmosphere and experience of Gracias. I can't wait to bring the remainder of the family. This place is Perfect for a date night, family night or girls night out. Looking forward to my next visit sooner rather than later.“

“I ordered the foil-packet fish dinner for a Saturday lunch. It blew my mind when I saw the lady bartender skillfully unravel the foil (see video below) to expose the fish dish. The steam escaped the foil, clouding my surroundings. The fish was fresh and well-seasoned.I will be back to try more dishes.CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT!!!“

“Hands down the best nachos I've ever had!!! I had the nachos topped with beef. When the server brought the nachos out I was shocked at how big the dish was. The large round nachos piled on with all the toppings maintained its crispness! That's a major win for me because there is nothing worse than soggy nachos. And the flavors were just all there for me. Simply delicious. The drinks were also great. My friend had the strawberry coconut margarita and I had some special Butterfly cocktail. I had to pour yellow drink in the mason jar into the purple drink then it changed color hence the butterfly mention in the name. It's was just great food & drinks! I will definitely be back!!“

“Traveling from out of state and was brought to Salsa Salsa and I was AMAZED by my experience! They have an extensive selection of margarita flavors and a fabulous and fresh menu. Our group had ordered a traditional margarita, a black cherry margarita, and their seasonal "shamrock margarita" all of which were delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor. The staff was knowledgeable and a joy to interact with. The owner Chris took the time to chat with us and brought out many hot sauce flavors for us to try and gave us his recommendations. Our server Justin was friendly and attentive. I can tell this is an establishment run with passion and pride... Will definitely return next time I'm in town!“

“My family and I went in because it looked appealing from the outside. Once inside we were seated and we ordered. Food was very delicious. We had four different kinds of taco and drinks as well as an appetizer of guacamole and chips. The gentlemen (I think he was the manager), was tending to us. He was very pleasant and ensured our food and drink was satisfying. Good atmosphere, not too light not to dark, many windows so when the sun is in place, light inside is not really necessary. Music was nice, not loud or overly bass like some restaurants. I would definitely recommend.“

“My second time here, at the mobile stop conveniently located on the South service road of LIE at exit 60. Perfect if you coming home on the train. We ordered nachos, salsa and queso dip. Chips were made to perfection lightly salted, salsa a different flavor than I'm used to but excellent I can't quite peg what the difference is but it's great. Same with the queso. I had the Mongolian burrito it had a kick with lime and the beef was phenomenally dressed and crispy. My one critique would be it wasn't wrapped to tight but all good I ate some out with a fork. We had the shrimp and fish tacos as well, "it was everything I wanted". Direct quote. They changed up the outside since I was there last, no more picnic tables (maybe it's a seasonal thing). They've got a couple games to play as you wait for your food. Some nice string lights and flowers make a puppy vibe. 10/10 will be back.“

“I have start out by saying I was upset when the old Mexican food place closed in the mall. But now that Los Amigos is here in the food court...I am fulfilled once again with something so much better! I had the steak tacos and wow these rival some of the best taco places I have been to. Do they cost a little more...yes. Are they worth $10 for 2 tacos...yes...yes! Just look at what you get fresh steak, taste Guacamole, fresh real cheese, crisp lettuce, topped with sour cream. All in a nice corn tortilla that stays together down to the last bite! Go get some of this fantastic food! And wash it down with an old fashioned Coke.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and had no reaction to taco ingredients.“

“Great food, great selection, large burritos, friendly service, orders are prepared and given correctly. Tasty and fresh food as well. Clean restaurant. When extremely large orders are ordered and delivered, and there are any issues (rarely happens, but it does), a simple phone call rectifies the problem. They do what they can to make the customer happy.Chips are crunchy and fresh. Guacamole is very clearly made the same day, if not that hour. No browning on it. Cilantro and tomatoes are fresh and not wilted at all. No complaints.It's my go-to (and the company I work for) burrito place in Bohemia, NY.Vegetarian options: Plenty to eat for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: You can ask them to customize your order to fit your dietary restrictions.Parking: Plenty of parking spaces on the side and in the back and also on the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the food and the atmosphere is kid-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible from outside to inside.“

“I loved this place the food was amazing i had churros and they where nice and crunchy covered with cinnamon some places don’t even put a lot just a sprinkle .. i had the burrito barbacoa it was delicious & it was great service also f friendly people“
“Very nice, clean and affordable. It didn't have much sitting space, so as long as you're fine with being on a small stool and facing the wall, you can enjoy their nice handmade corn tortillas. The beans are very nice traditional Salvadorian as well. I had a Jarritos, rice, beans, pork and tortillas and paid a little less than $9. Definitely worth it and would visit again.“

“Normally a 5 star experience because we love their food, but we got cold tortilla chips and stale cookies. Also, some veggie items were out, so we got bottom of the barrel small portions. This was during dinner time on a weekend, so they should have been a little more prepared. Hopefully this is a one time issue, because we’ve been coming for years.“

“It was good for what it is. The food was inexpensive, I got black bean tacos and I would get them again. The service was nice. We got complimentary churros but it was borderline inedible. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but I'm giving 4 stars for the speed and the prices. It also has a full bar with a good amount of tequila.“
