“This is what I call oh my god good!! Make sure you get the street tacos! Amazing! It’s what you would get in Mexico! It’s the real deal! You should also try the, not so tropical quesadilla! Also, try the salad bowl with beef! Everything was awesome! Can’t wait to get it all again!!!“
“Right Coast tacos are delicious! They always hit the spot! I really love that they offer 3 mix & match tacos, which allows you to try all of their yummy choices! I enjoy the carne asada or the Birria, they are all GREAT! And don't forget to try their Nachos!!!“
“We really liked Chicos Tex Mex. The food was great and the selection was perfect. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a small store, so don't expect to bring a large group to dine in. It was a good experience overall, and we will be ordering from here again.“
“Now we went to eat for the third time, the tacos are good but the gorditas were much better the previous time, now they don't put 2 tortillas, it's just one and so nooo and the taste was not so good, I'm sorry for that I gave it 2 “
“Went here for the first time. I was immediately impressed by the fact that when I ordered a lamb gyro they cooked/heated up the meat along with the gyro flatbread on the grill. This way my sandwich was piping hot and tasted fresher than places that usally keep a hot tray for the meats and dish it out. Service was also friendly. I will be back!“
“The food was very good and fresh!!! . They gave a good amount of food for the money. Was so affordable. Customer service was amazing and they were very quick with preparation. I came one day and hurried and came the next day for lunch then came back in 10 minutes later to get my brother some food! I give this place a 5 star!!“
“Excellent food and service. I had steak tostadas and a chicken empanada (so much food!) and my sister had fish tacos.We are there and the atmosphere is cheerful and so clean! Our server (I didn't get her name) was attentive yet not overbearing.I will absolutely be back.“
“Fish tacos babyyyy! Absolutely delicious! Steak and shrimp are excellent too. Best thing is honest to God the homemade chips and salsa. I could eat here everyday! Prices are very reasonable also which is hard to find in this economy. These guys r the real MVPS“
“It’s like every other QDoba. They have a tendency to go a little light on the vegetable toppings though.Vegetarian options: Has Impossible Meat as a protein option. You can also go meatless.Dietary restrictions: You can fully customize your bowl to accommodate your diet. I eat here as vegan without issue.“
“I have Traveled everywhere. I found this Gem of a Restaurant in a suburban area the Restaurant was CLEAN FRESH service 10 out of Ten! The food is By far the best I have had in YEARS! I grew up in Southern California and love Tacos I'm beyond Impressed with this Business and If you happen to be in the Area this is a place you need to stop into! You will not be Disappointed at all!!! Seems to be Family owned and operated please check this place out!!!!“
“Cute place, delicious food. The chicken enchiladas and chorizo taco were spectacular. I was a little upset that the menu said the enchiladas came with beans and rice and I didn't get any, but I already had enough food to fill me up, so it wasn't a big deal. Next time, I really want to try the beans and rice, though. ?“
“Amazing low-key Mexican diner. Great limited short order menu. The roja sauce with the complimentary chips was great. I ordered chicken enchiladas which came ina green sauce topped with chopped steak and a fried egg. The horchata was delicious. Muy bueno.“
“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“
“A delicious find! I happened to be shopping in the area and decided to try out Cabo. So glad I did! I purchased the shrimp and mango baja bowl. I customized the bowl with extra veggies. I loved the freshness of the food, and the flavor of the red sauce and shrimp were excellent ? I will definitely be back“
“We ordered catering from Salsa Salsa Burrito Bar for about a dozen or so people. Everything was delicious. We couldn't finish all the food on the day of the party and it was just as delicious the next day. My mouth is watering now thinking about it.“
“Stumbled upon this place and I'm glad we did. I enjoyed the sopes de pollo and my fiancé loved his quesadilla de chorizo. I saw a group next to us eating pozole which looked amazing! Definitely coming back to try their other menu items and would recommend trying this place out.“
“I ordered the foil-packet fish dinner for a Saturday lunch. It blew my mind when I saw the lady bartender skillfully unravel the foil (see video below) to expose the fish dish. The steam escaped the foil, clouding my surroundings. The fish was fresh and well-seasoned.I will be back to try more dishes.CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT!!!“
“Consistently delicious classic Mexican food! Cheese enchilada's are pure perfection. Margarita's are sublime. The owner is as gracious as can be. Don't hesitate if you are Jones-ing for Mexican food!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dishes available on menu.“
“This taco truck is worth checking out. Even though they opened about 20 minutes later than posted and I didn't care for the beeper waiting system, the food was excellent for a low price. Stop by and try some!Vegetarian options: None that I was aware of.Parking: It's a tiny, shared lot. There's not really a shoulder on that spot of Route 112 either.“
“My second time here, at the mobile stop conveniently located on the South service road of LIE at exit 60. Perfect if you coming home on the train. We ordered nachos, salsa and queso dip. Chips were made to perfection lightly salted, salsa a different flavor than I'm used to but excellent I can't quite peg what the difference is but it's great. Same with the queso. I had the Mongolian burrito it had a kick with lime and the beef was phenomenally dressed and crispy. My one critique would be it wasn't wrapped to tight but all good I ate some out with a fork. We had the shrimp and fish tacos as well, "it was everything I wanted". Direct quote. They changed up the outside since I was there last, no more picnic tables (maybe it's a seasonal thing). They've got a couple games to play as you wait for your food. Some nice string lights and flowers make a puppy vibe. 10/10 will be back.“
“Hands down the best nachos I've ever had!!! I had the nachos topped with beef. When the server brought the nachos out I was shocked at how big the dish was. The large round nachos piled on with all the toppings maintained its crispness! That's a major win for me because there is nothing worse than soggy nachos. And the flavors were just all there for me. Simply delicious. The drinks were also great. My friend had the strawberry coconut margarita and I had some special Butterfly cocktail. I had to pour yellow drink in the mason jar into the purple drink then it changed color hence the butterfly mention in the name. It's was just great food & drinks! I will definitely be back!!“
“The first thing I will say is that the women who serve are super friendly, attentive to you, the service is very good, the food is super delicious, freshly made, all the food is fresh, I recommend this place, 100% attention, it is very good.“
“Exactly what I would expect from a small Colombian restaurant. Great tasting authentic food, in good portions, for a good price. Have eaten here, and ordered takeout, numerous times, never disappointed. They have great service and are always so friendly and kind.Parking: Plenty of off street parking, also nearby other Lake Ronkonkoma businesses and attractions.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu - my kids love it! Try the hotdogs and fries!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and entrance.“
“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! ?“
“Traveling from out of state and was brought to Salsa Salsa and I was AMAZED by my experience! They have an extensive selection of margarita flavors and a fabulous and fresh menu. Our group had ordered a traditional margarita, a black cherry margarita, and their seasonal "shamrock margarita" all of which were delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor. The staff was knowledgeable and a joy to interact with. The owner Chris took the time to chat with us and brought out many hot sauce flavors for us to try and gave us his recommendations. Our server Justin was friendly and attentive. I can tell this is an establishment run with passion and pride... Will definitely return next time I'm in town!“
“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 have start out by saying I was upset when the old Mexican food place closed in the mall. But now that Los Amigos is here in the food court...I am fulfilled once again with something so much better! I had the steak tacos and wow these rival some of the best taco places I have been to. Do they cost a little more...yes. Are they worth $10 for 2 tacos...yes...yes! Just look at what you get fresh steak, taste Guacamole, fresh real cheese, crisp lettuce, topped with sour cream. All in a nice corn tortilla that stays together down to the last bite! Go get some of this fantastic food! And wash it down with an old fashioned Coke.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and had no reaction to taco ingredients.“
“My family and I went in because it looked appealing from the outside. Once inside we were seated and we ordered. Food was very delicious. We had four different kinds of taco and drinks as well as an appetizer of guacamole and chips. The gentlemen (I think he was the manager), was tending to us. He was very pleasant and ensured our food and drink was satisfying. Good atmosphere, not too light not to dark, many windows so when the sun is in place, light inside is not really necessary. Music was nice, not loud or overly bass like some restaurants. I would definitely recommend.“
“From start to finish Cabo was incredible! They made it so easy to cater for my sons party. The food was incredible. The quality and the service. They came to set up band brought everything we needed. I couldn’t have asked for anything better and will be having my sons birthday catered by Cabo! Can’t wait ! Thank you Cabo!“
“Tool my mother for dinner for her birthday, and it turned out to be National Margarita Day. The drinks were great! The food was good too! They sang happy birthday and put a mariachi hat on her with a shot of tequila, all around good night. And they have live mariachi some nights too!“
“Normally a 5 star experience because we love their food, but we got cold tortilla chips and stale cookies. Also, some veggie items were out, so we got bottom of the barrel small portions. This was during dinner time on a weekend, so they should have been a little more prepared. Hopefully this is a one time issue, because we’ve been coming for years.“
“This is the greatest food I ever ate in my life. So fresh so delicious. The service was phenomenal a small family run restaurant with the best vibes. Finger licking good. I highly suggest coming here. I might even have to drive all the way from Philadelphia to get this food again.“
“AUTHENIC & DELICIOUS. I can’t stop forcing my husband to take me to dinner here, lol. I’m always a fan of Mexican food but have gotten a lot picker as I get older and want more authentic flavor. This place has such wonderful and friendly staff to complement the awesome food and drinks. Me, personally, I’m a wine drinker…but my husband likes cocktails and is a little picky sometimes. He always praises how great the drinks come out here. Last night on a Thursday, they were offering complementary dance lessons in the party room next door. A bunch if singles, friends, & couples showed up… and it was adorable to see from the bar. The atmosphere here really is so kind, and the food and drinks are delicious. I can’t say a bad thing about this place, love 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 ?“
“I have been here two times and the food is delicious, the decorations inside are beautiful it makes you feel like you’re in a rancho out in Mexico. They have delicious natural juices. The orange juice is made fresh on the spot using fresh oranges. The Birria tacos are so delicious! The guacamole that comes with the fresh made chips is so addictive. You’re going to want to ask for seconds. If you’re in Central Islip or a town nearby, I recommend you go to Viva Mexico to try some authentic Mexican food.“
“Let me stress this part, MAKE A RESERVATION! We arrived on a Friday night and of course had no reservation. We were told 20/30 minute wait for a table which we were fine with, except we waited for over an hour. After being seated we then waited for another 20 minutes before we were even greeted by a server which was quite frustrating because we were starving. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Aside from our extended waits for seating and service, the food itself was great. I ordered the "Cielo" which was a nice smooth yet strong drink. The tacos were delicious, tortillas didn't immediately fall apart and the filet mignon was juicy and tender. The sauce was amazing. Shoutout to Roberto for making the rest of our night, he did an excellent job.“
