It has a long history in the community and has a huge following. If you know you know. Don't be scared - check it out. We did and we are happy 😁“

“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.“

“Call in an order for pick up of Bistec Encebollado Combo. It was ready in about 10 minutes. It was 2 pieces steak, sautéed onions, side salad, guacamole and tortillas served with rice and beans. It was well portioned priced and tasted absolutely delicious. Great customer service, Spot on! My new go to!“

“the Pico is always fresh and the service is great“

“I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. The staff are friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is beautiful! Feels as if you walked straight into a Caribbean beach front restaurant.

The food is priced well and delicious! My wife and I ordered 2 tacos with rice and bean side. The chicken tacos were juicy and soft. The steak taco was by far the best steak taco I have had and I've visited many a taco places. The sauce they use on the tacos is delightful! Rice and beans were delicious too! Not dry or hard. Cooked just right.

The piña colada was not overly sweet which was a surprise. Many places make it too sweet.

The desert we ordered was the cheesecake chimichanga! Boy what a treat! It was the perfect compliment to our lunch meal. The cheese cake filling was soft and the ice cream with a slice of orange underneath was good too. The orange slice gave the ice cream a hint of orange flavor 😋 👌.

Its our 4th visit and we will be going again!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I came in just to grab a quick bite to eat but everything looks so delicious.

I don't know what they call it but I tried a cactus leaf and it was delicious. It has such a flavor that is similar to I guess an artichoke but also very different at the exact same time.

I had two chicken tacos and one chorizo. I love the fact that they have a bar where you can add as much salsa and toppings as you want.

So delicious.

The place is so clean and spotless it's not even funny. Guys behind the counter are awesome and I already be back.“

“Delicious Mexican food at a great price, from a local fixture!
Everything fresh and fast. Stopped in to pick up a couple burritos and the chicken grill salad. Batch of fresh chips and house salsa, excellent.
Steak burrito was more than enough for one, and packed with flavor.
Will definitely return soon, highly recommend!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“We came in to grab a quick bite before the movies and we were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. It has a homey vibe to it inside and plenty of regulars. I went with a safe bet of a chicken quesadilla and we also ordered sopes. I wish I ordered double the sopes! They were packed with so much flavor it was so delicious. The quesadilla was so yummy and cheesy. For $30 we got great food, 2 drinks and a craving for more! I will definitely be coming back to try more !“

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

“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!“

“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!!! *****“

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

“Nice place and attendants“

“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!“

“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! ?“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food and great drinks“

“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.“

“I heard about this place from a friend and I decided to make the trip to see if it is worth the hype. Let me just tell you, it was sooo worth it! I live about three hours away from there, but after this experience, I would gladly make this drive again.

The moment I arrived, I was blown away by the atmosphere. There was good music playing, everyone was incredibly friendly, the energy was amazing, and even though there was a long line, the service was quick as I was able to get my food quickly.

Now, about the food, to me this was truly life changing. it's hard for me to find authentic flavorful Mexcian food where I live, this feels like finding a hidden gem. Every bite just made me want more. I loved it so much that I went back and placed a second order before leaving! (Had to take one for on the road!)

I'll definitely be returning every chance I get. Honsetly, they need to open a location closer to me because if I lived closer to them, you would see me there every day. If you are considering coming here, I'll tell you this: STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GO!!! YOU WON'T REGRET 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 :))“

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

“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!“

“This place is the perfect balance of hole in the wall but nice night out type of vibes.

The decor screams authentic and fiesta, the servers are all very friendly and helpful, and we love the menu!

There is something for everyone, our favorites are the fajitas and the enchiladas. There’s even a kids menu so our little guys can enjoy the night out with us.

Drinks are always great and the prices won’t disappoint either.

Definitely recommend our friends at Viva Juan!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“
