“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!“

“the food was good, but they need a better air filter system the smell of burning isn't appealing while you eat. the place was clean, the servers were great. it was just another version of taco bell mixed with chipotle. but this is just my VYI's keeping it real view,we enjoyed the bowls, plenty of food in each. we will go back next month to try their salad.“

“Lots of seating and very clean. They have a good selection of different meals types and toppings. I ordered a shrimp bowl and it was delicious. They grilled the shrimp fresh which was great and filling. Service was fast and amazing, and pricing was good.“

“We used them to cater a party and they week fabulous. Made sure we had enough of everything. And when we do take out they are just as great.

Dietary restrictions: Great options for all.“

“nice simple atmosphere food is great with multiple choices,,,just had fish tacos today big and delicious, have had taco bowl, chicken steak and beef tacos, chorizo quesadillas, ordered platter of mixed tacos for family get together gone in 5 minutes no kidding, staff nice knowledgeable, family owned...right next to benkerts bakery in centereach...help their family business by stopping by...i do on my way home from work“

“When I got to the place, there was enough parking space. Once I got inside, the atmosphere was different than any other placements. The counter person was ready to write down my order. There was a lot of food selection to choose from. Different types of tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Great drinks like sprite, juices, water but there were also natural drinks like horchata, melon, etc. Once your food was ready, they would call your name and you can choose your sauces and toppings at the little station they had. This place is a great spot to hang out or to pass time with friends and family. Although the place was hot, it doesn't matter because the day was already hot and obviously people were working in the kitchen meaning it was going to get hot. All in all, the food and place is definitely worth trying. I think I just found my new spot. Give it a try and you will see that this is a place worth trying.

Parking: Parking is behind the building

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids. Food for kids like mozzarella sticks and fries there are other food options for them. There are seats for babies who are not ready to sit on the chairs.“

“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.“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Muy bien! Coming from a real Mexican, these are the real deal. I had a steak, chicken and chorizo taco and there is a hearty amount of quality meat (especially the steak!) on the tacos and the salsas are spicy, fresh and tasty. I ate there, besides actually having really hot tacos, it's very clean too. My only suggestion, definitely NOT a complaint, is to make your own corn tortillas! ??“

“Miguel's is awesome! Excellent food. Everything here is great. Very cheaply priced and affordable. They even have an in-house home made cinnamon horchata drink. If you've never had it, then you're missing out big time. But if you get addicted to it don't blame me. The best Spanish food around.

Parking: Free parking lot. Shares a lot with the other few little stores in the store front over there. Easy to find parking.“

“Our GO TO place. I need to be gouten free and this place hooks me up! Been going there for at least 16 years, never got glutened. Food is great staff is great.

Vegetarian options: Many choices my daughter is vegetarian and she always picks something delish

Dietary restrictions: My son and I are gluten free they are extreemly knowledgeable, attentive and kind.

Parking: Extra parking behind the building“

“Went here yesterday for their Cinco de Mayo celebration, and I’m glad we did! Starting at 6p they had a Mexican mariachi band, and it was such good entertainment.The restaurant was packed as you would expect on this day, but the service was phenomenal. It didn’t matter whose table we were assigned to, everyone helped in all different stages of our meal.We started off with a coconut margarita and a peach margarita. They were good and you could taste the alcohol that put in there.The second and third coconut margarita came with real coconut in the drink, and that definitely was a seller for us.They start off with fresh made tortilla chips and homemade salsa. The salsa was fresh and great flavor, however if you can handle even a tiny bit of spice, I wouldn’t have it. It got hotter the more you ate it.We ordered their ‘alitas con chipotle’ which is their chicken wings, and oh goodness they were great. Only thing I have to say is they are double fried and on the smaller side, but their chipotle sauce was the best sauce I’ve ever tasted in my life. It is on the hotter side, but to me personally it was not too bad, the the flavor was bursting in my mouth. We actually ordered another side of the sauce for the wings because it was practically drinkable as is, and then another side for our entrees.We ordered ‘camarones caribeños’ which is their coconut shrimp with fries and salad. The coconut shrimp had appeared to be burnt when it was set on the table, however they weren’t and it was delicious. We dipped the coconut shrimp into the chipotle sauce… and that is what this place should offer with this dish. The sweet and savory together really burst in your mouth. The fries were typical fries, soft and could’ve been fried a tad more.We also ordered their ‘fajitas en Sartén’ with chicken. It came out sizzling with green peppers, onions, and tomatoes with a plate of guacamole, refried beans, rice and sour cream. We poured the chipotle sauce on the fajitas, and once again, we were baffled with the taste fusion.We loved this sauce so much that I told our waitress that I would buy the sauce if they were willing to sell it to me. I asked her to give me however much she could, and she gave me 4oz.We additionally ordered the ‘flan de tres leches’ and it tasted like a flan, and less like tres leches.Overall, would come back here in a heart beat.“

“Friendly staff, great variety of food!🌮🌯“

“Great food and cocktails, the owner is completely invested in your experience.“

“Wow just wow. So good. I got the hot table food which there was a wide selection. Very affordable. My small plate with rice and chicken was only $5. The chicken literally fell off the bone so delicious. I couldn’t believe how good it was. I wanted to take a video/pic but I couldn’t stop eating maybe next time.“

“Deliciosos tacos 🌮 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽“

“Our go-to place when we want the BEST FOOD at a reasonable price!!! Can't wait for the newest renovation to be completed. Opening back up on January 9th 😍🤩🙌🥩🍗“

“A bunch of us went after work to celebrate a couple of birthdays… food and drinks were amazing!! Portion sizes … well let’s just say… I will eat for 2-3 days!! We had a great time service was also great!“

“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!“

“Delicious, always enough to eat! Fast delivery!“

“I'm here at least twice a week! Great food served by great people🙂 I love this place“

“The most delicious Mexican food I've ever had! I had the steak fajitas which was cooked to perfection! Lots of peppers and onions and the steak is so juicy and flavorful! The chips are just how I like them, crispy but not too salty, and the guacamole is great! Truly the best Mexican food around, recommend it to anyone!“

“Nice place and attendants“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“Some of the best food and service around. The most authentic vibe and experience and greatest atmosphere around. Couldn't recommend a place higher. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant on Long Island. Not only for all I mentioned above, but because the food absolutely top tier. The best Mexican food I've had in the area.“

“Hidden gem, big food portions! Don't overlook this little place it's one of my favorites on the island I'm a vegetarian and they have plenty of options for me. don't underestimate their drinks they do NOT skimp out on alcohol! Salute! ?“

“I get lunch from Vallarta at least once a week for several years now. The staff is friendly and the food is consistently delicious, with a larger menu than your typical fast-mexican spot. Strongly recommend skipping the chains and giving these folks a try!“

“Every time I visit this establishment, Wendy greets me with a smile: her entire team is super friendly, attentive and makes you feel like part of the family. Edwin is hilarious, always makes me laugh and honestly my visit alone deserves a 10/10 with customer service. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE FOOD!! Each dish is an explosion of flavor, truly delicious, and you can tell they put their heart into their food. On the weekends they have an authentic champurrado that I swear is to die for. This establishment is truly a must visit for anyone looking for the ultimate taco experience! But don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself!!
Oh and if you are lucky enough to visit when they have special tamales I IMPLORE YOU TO TRY THEM - but don't take them all, I need at least ten at a time. MINIMUM“

“Me encantan las quesadillas mexicanas de hongos con queso!!!! Super rico todo!“

“very very good food. fast service. no heartburn...9.5 on my taco scale 👍“

“This location wasn’t very busy, so service was quick, and decently friendly. Meal was tasty and enjoyable; very filling. This was my first time at this location, and I am not a regular patron of the business in general, but I would definitely consider going back to this location, or one closer to my home.“

“Each Mexican restaurant makes their dishes differently. I went with my family and we ordered a Cuban cake. They were different from other cakes I've tried. That's why he said it's different because the tacos are just as great as many I've tried.“

“We had been going somewhere else in town for fast Mexican, but wanted to switch it up! With that said we found our new place. I reccomend the tamales and the enchiladas, but the taquitos were excellent too. The rice and pinto beans were flavorful and the service was quick and friendly. A go to for Mexican food!“

“this place is awesome. i come here a lot because it’s arguably the best mexican restaurant on LI! i’m all the way from west babylon so it’s a bit of a hike to come but so, so worth it. their guac is to die for! i love the atmosphere. it feels so homey and the music they play is really enjoyable. i reccomend going on an empty stomach because they fill you up fast!! their mexi fries are awesome :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars!!“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

“Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful service. I go there often I highly recommend it“

“Had dinner here, ordered tacos de birria, tacos al pastor and a torta and it they were great. Highly recommend their “como la flor” drink and “Victoria” beer. I would love for this place to do a Friday or Saturday dinner & dance.“

“We wanted tacos. We ordered traditional tacos...2 ground beef, 2 chicken, and an order of street corn. WOW!!! This is the best street corn we've every tasted. And the tacos... absolutely the best we've ever tasted at any restaurant. We will go back again. And the price was $ 26. We don't eat much, so that got us through 2 dinners. Great value for 1 or 2 dinners. Thank you Señor Tacō Express.“

“The girl who served us was very sweet and kind. Food was delicious and made to perfection. The place was also very clean and quiet. Also my first time ever seeing a restaurant with the fountain drinks with all types of drink and all flavors available. That was a big plus :))“

“My husband and I went here for their half off appetizers and $5 drinks during the week. The drinks were delicious and we ordered the empanadas that were so good. The staff is really friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back for these amazing specials!“

“Always fresh and delicious, a Bohemia gem for authenticity and quality food. Clean clean clean and underrated for this level of deliciousness.“

“I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did it's not the nicest part of coram but don't let that scare you off the food was made fresh the cook was fantastic and helped me choose because I told him I'm Irish and not familiar with Spanish food only taco bell fast food. He made me delicious mouth watering FRESH chicken tacos. I'm looking forward to the next meal he makes me. Give them a try I'm so glad I did and with taco bell opening in coram it would be a shame if you didn't try this place and only ate taco bell you would be missing out on something ?“

“We went celebrate my daughter's birthday. Food was good and service was good. Except the server bring you more sodas and charged Xtra on my bill. Many restaurants don't do that..specially if server take your empty glasses and fill you up... next time I won't drink Xtra soda stay with one drink....“

“Fresh, Delicious a ton of food. you will not be disappointed. a hidden gem in lake ronkonkoma“

“Delicious food and great drinks“

“I have enjoyed Viva Juan for about 20 years and it’s awesome to see the same familiar faces and enjoy tasty food! Lately, my husband and I love going for a nice lunch around 1pm on a weekday and we sit at the bar and take our time. I usually order everything to share and this time we even had leftovers! The place itself is so welcoming and fun! Restroom is clean and spacious. I would recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy a meal and possibly do some karaoke! ☺️“
