“Delicious. I've ordered probably 20 different things from here, and it's been great each time.

My go-to had been a chimichanga, but recently I moved over to their take on the Crunchwrap.

The interior of the store is nice and clean, and step-up from their previous location.

Staff is always very nice and friendly.“

Vegetarian options: Great options for all.

Dietary restrictions: Great options for all.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ??“

“I’ve been on the hunt for authentic tacos, and I’m so happy to say I’ve finally found them right here in St. James. Tacos Cinco de Mayo serves the best tacos in the area hands down. The portions are generous, and the sauce bar is a great touch that lets you customize your plate just the way you like it.

So far, I’ve tried the brisket tostadas and steak tacos both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I’ve heard rave reviews about the al pastor and birria as well (though I don’t eat pork), and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just as amazing.

The taqueria is cozy, with seating for around 8 tables, and their drinks are all made in-house. I really enjoyed the Jamaica and tamarindo, and they also offer horchata and passion fruit.

It’s such a great addition to our town, authentic, flavorful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Deliciosos tacos 🌮 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽“

“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.“

“los tacos de birria con su consome son lo mejor y si pides un agua fresca de tamarindo .. los mejores que e probado ...“

“This is our go-to restaurant, what a gem. Delicious food, super friendly people, and Juan makes the best margaritas that I have ever had! We highly recommend this spot, make sure you try one of their specials.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“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“

“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.“

“Nice place and attendants“

“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!“

“I absolutely love this place! Their burritos are SO good, they are greatly priced with such great proportions. Their home made drinks are delicious. On nights that we can’t figure out what to have for dinner, we love going to Chicos. The staff is always super friendly and kind. Thank you Chicos!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“I brought a small group of developmentally disabled adults to Moe's in Centereach for dinner. The staff were patient with them and helpful too . All of the food was good. There was a nice variety of drinks from the Coke Freestyle machine, plus a machine for iced tea, which I like.“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

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

“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 :))“

“David is an excellent bartender and made the entire experience at Margaritas worthwhile. I literally ate lunch nearby and had horrible service elsewhere, saw margaritas and tried to salvage my Sunday. The atmosphere was great and I will definitely come back again, hopefully with several friends. The price of the drinks were pretty standard for the long island area, but I really enjoyed the patron margarita.“

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

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

“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....“

“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 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!“

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

“Good food, reasonable prices. I will go back z as soon as they have their liquor license. I love my margaritas.“

“Delicious food and great drinks“

“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.“
