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.“

“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.“

Vegetarian options: Great options for all.

Dietary restrictions: Great options for all.“

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 😁“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Deliciosos tacos 🌮 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽“

“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!“

“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 😍🤩🙌🥩🍗“

“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.“

“This place was awesome. Food was really good. Drinks were strong. Service was friendly and attentive. Our server Orlando was extremely nice and knew when to come to the table and when to let you eat. Everyone was accommodating that worked there. Will be coming back.“

“Delicious food and great drinks“

“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.“

“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!!! *****“

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

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

“Nice place and attendants“

“Fun night. Great drinks. Fab food“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 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 ?“

“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 :))“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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