“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.“

“I recently visited Tex Chicos Mex and had an incredible dining experience! I started with the dry rub wings, which were perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor—absolutely delicious.

Next, I tried the birria tacos, and they were nothing short of amazing. The tender, juicy meat paired with the rich, savory consommé made each bite unforgettable.

I also ordered a steak burrito, which was hearty, flavorful, and packed with perfectly cooked steak and fresh ingredients. It was generously portioned and so satisfying!

On top of the amazing food, our server, Allie, was outstanding. She was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. Her great service was the cherry on top of a fantastic meal.

Overall, we absolutely loved Tex Chicos Mex and will totally be back!“

“Del Fuego has the BEST salsa sauce for chips. They provide their salsa and chips free!!! On one of my visits, Paige was just an awesome waitress!!! She knew the menu so she was easily able to make suggestions. She was super attentive and friendly and efficient. A real sweetheart. Unfortunately the salad lettuce was soggy but still the salad was tasty. The pulled pork burrito was good. Chips and salsa are always out of this world!!! Portions are great.“

“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!“
