“This is a hidden gem in the area ✨ my husband ordered the Birria Tacos and I had the Birria nachos, we both loved each of our dishes. Excellent service, clean place, you can tell they know what they are doing. It was delicious. We can’t wait to come back. Recommended.“

“This is by far my favorite place to go and have an amazing meal with such an incredible staff.. The bartenders are the nicest ever and the food is always fresh and the presentation is amazing.. They have a customer for life with me and my family… If you haven’t been there yet it’s time to try it and see for yourself how wonderful the food and the atmosphere is❤️“

“This is a Spanish Food Restaurant with Ecuadorian specialties.The outside sign says it all...The Grand Amazon. There's definitely something for everyone's taste from meat, side dishes, salads to even hamburgers.The plate sizes are ample & full of flavor. Whether you are stopping in for just drinks & appetizers or a full family dinner, you will leave satisfied for sure.I liked the fried bananas aka plantains/platanos they were delicious and they have both styles of sweet bananas & green bananas...yummy!There menu had many options to choose from & different variations as well to please everyone.The staff was very accommodating and helpful when trying to decide on which dish to choose.The atmosphere is a comfortable cross between spanish/island/outdoors brought inside flavor perfectly mimicking the Amazon.They have lunch specials & there was talk about Bingo & kareoke nights.I recommend the steak meal and grilled chicken Caesar was amazing.Vegetarian options: You can customize any variation of salad and vegetables and add items as well.“

“Excellent restaurant, the food was great, I went with my co-worker and we were all surprised. The dishes came out on time. Seafood and fish very good. The best thing was the girl Gladys who served us super friendly and explained each dish…“

“Everything is absolutely amazing here. The staff is incredibly sweet and willing to answer any questions. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh made tortilla shells , everything came out hot and fresh. I can’t recommend this place enough. I can’t wait to come here again“

“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“

“I've been coming to this place for about 7 years and their empanadas do not disappoint and thats for sure! After going here for so long when I try empanadas at other hispanic locations they do not bring the same taste to the table. This place never gets old nor how many times I come with my mom or take my hispanic girlfriend here. Highly recommend ??Kid-friendliness: They have a ping pong table ?“

“Came to write my review so fast. Chicken tacos were delicious. I got them doordashed and they were still so hot, double wrapped with a soft corn shell so they didn’t get soggy, and then individually wrapped in tin foil. I appreciate this level of care because tacos can get messy. The chicken was tender and juicy and the flavors were on point, and the tacos were filled well for the price! Highly recommend“

“Love the food, but the service could have been better. I think it was just this time because every other time that I had been there the service was great. This time people came after us with larger parties than us ( we had 3 people) got their drinks before us. Ate and left the restaurant before us. It's sad because we were the only non Spanish group in that area of the restaurant at that time. I love the food, usually the service, and the manager is a very nice gentleman. We probably should have told him about our service, but we try not to get people into trouble when we go out to eat. You never know when you will be there again. I'll be back because I love their food, but I will definitely avoid that server next time.Parking: You just have to get there early if you want to beat the dinner rush on the weekends.“

“This is a very beautiful place n staff are very welcoming. The atmosphere is of old Spanish, Mexican style uniquely beautiful. was there to celebrate my birthday with my family portion sizes were very generous staff replenished nachos service was very quick would definitely return to this hidden gem again their flan that they gave me my birthday served me in the restaurant was very fresh. The one I took home, had a bit of a fishy taste not sure if that’s normal was my first time ever having flan, other than that the restaurant is amazing as well as staff prices were reasonable on beyond was welcoming, would return again.Parking: Plenty of free parking as well as handicap parking, right outside location in parking lot.“

“I've been to La Confianza twice and really enjoyed the food both times. The first time was a few years ago. Our Spanish speaking friend who ate there often brought us here and we had a FEAST! We each ordered on our own (pick 2-3 things) on top of rice (white rice, rice with beans, or yellow Spanish rice) and we each paid at the counter before sitting. Our friend then ordered additional food to share... all sorts of dishes we've never tried before. It was a heavenly experience, we left SO FULL! The second time we came here for a quick lunch before hopping on the Sunday 2:30pm LIRR back to the city. There was a line since there was only one lady scooping up your choices. The lady isn't quite friendly, but she's not mean either... just efficient so don't expect warm smiles or anything when you ask her questions (my poor vegetarian friend got a icy stare/no response when she asked about the salad). She shrugged and said "no" when I asked if they had any vegetables (lol?). I ordered the chicken (in red/orange sauce) and the fantastic grilled steak (a good sized piece) on top of yellow rice ($12). The hot sauce with their steak is INCREDIBLE. I think the salad comes with your container... so ask for salad before you get to the register. The guy at the register was really nice when I asked about their in-house green hot sauce and he gave me two extra small containers. All in all, the food here speaks for itself! EAT HERE! The booths cleared out quickly so we were able to dine in both times. Relatively clean space. Note: my friend got charged more for the same meal when she went with her mom (not Spanish) than when she went with her Spanish speaking friend. So maybe non-locals like myself get charged more? *shrug* steak was worth it!“

“Family owned, the empanadas I ordered from Island Empanada were absolutely divine. The service was quick and the people were more than friendly. Their selection was large and I could tell that every empanada was prepared on-premise. The quality of the meat was superb. I go here every so often when my stomach desires something delectable. Believe me when I tell you that you will be satisfied.“

“DELICIOUS. Stumbled on this place via Google search, great surprise! Huge portions, very good prices, very clean and cozy carryout place. The food was amazing, we had pasteles, goat stew, pernil, rice & beans, and flan. Every single thing was cooked perfectly, I'm so full and uncomfortable because I couldn't stop! ?“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy their food. The first time it was closed but I went the next day and my experience was fantastic. The waitresses were very attentive and friendly and gave good recommendations. The ceviche was the best and the chaufa is not far behind. I recommend it to ?. My family and I will return soon.“

“It is honestly one of the best places on Patchogue to Eat, not only the food is fresh and delicious, but the price is amazing for the big portions they give!! anyone else that says another way is a straight total hater from this Family own Restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They sell candies for kidsParking: It has a lot space to park comfortable“

“Food was a bit salty but good for a paella. Conch Fritas wera good try but missing the conch, but the wings were pretty tasty. Despite those little mishaps, I'd like to try some of the other dishes that looked pretty good. I'd try to see if they could customize the salt in my food. I say give it a go!“
